Be careful what you hear!

I Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

We are living in the last of the last days. For some, worst days but for those who are rooted and grounded in the word of God it's the best of the best days. Glory to God. Our King is coming back! Jesus is coming back!

The Holy Spirit says in the last days some will depart from the faith, meaning they will no longer be disciples of Jesus, they will give up on Him and depart from Him. The reason some will depart is because they give attention to deceiving spirits and consider and meditate on the doctrines of demons. Jesus said in the last days many false prophets and false Christs will come and deceive many. The only defence we have against such horrific deception is the word of God. Knowing the word of God casually won't be enough in these last days, you are required to be established, rooted and grounded in the word of God. These false christs and prophets take the word of God out of context and preach on it. Like Satan, they make the Bible say something it's not saying. Selfishness and lust is at the root of such prophets and preachers, preaching the word of God for their own profit. Jesus said by their fruits you will know them. Unless you are established in the word of God and unless you know the rightly divided word of truth in it's proper context, there are high chances of you being deceived and taken captive by the enemy. Consider carefully what you hear and how you hear. The rightly divided word of God in it's proper context is our standard.

Refuse to be ignorant about God's word. Attend a Bible teaching, Bible based and Bible breathing church and grow in the word of God. Stop blaming people and circumstances for your lack of spiritual growth. Take responsibility and study the word of God in it's proper context. The word of God is your only defence against the masssive deceptions happening in these last days. Be ever hungry for God's word and stay around people who love the word of God and are hungry for it.

"I am rooted and grounded in the word of God. I am established in God's word and therefore I will not be deceived. Satan cannot deceive me because I know the truth and the truth sets me free."
