I need to preface today's prophecy update with something that the Lord has ministered to me over the years

as a much needed reminder to stay the course and not get off track. I do so because like anyone else, I'm just as prone

to get sidetracked by all the misinformation and even the confusion that's running rampant

as of late, especially in these the last days.

I was thinking about this this morning on the way here, and it kind of struck me that

Jesus and even the Apostle Paul after him had stressed the importance of not being deceived.

When the disciples in Matthew 24, it's recorded, asked Jesus about what will be the signs of the

end and the, you know, coming kingdom and the end of the age,

Jesus, first and foremost, said, do not be deceived.

The Apostle Paul writing to the churches emphasizes and stresses, do not be deceived.

In other words, there will be this deception,

even to the Thessalonians, he says that there will be this strong deception that God himself

will send because they rejected the truth. So they're going to believe the lie, this powerful delusion, this strong

deception, if you prefer. And so there's so much confusion, and we know who the author

of that confusion is, right? And we know who the father of lies is, right? And we know

who the accuser of the brethren is, right? And we also know that in Revelation chapter 12

that Satan knows that he has but a short time. So he's very busy knowing that there's not that much time.

So there's a lot of confusion, there's a lot of deception. And if you're anything like me,

and I suspect that you are, it's becoming increasingly difficult to know who or what to

believe anymore. I mean, there's so much information out there and, boy, you just have to be

so discerning. And this is why I wanted to talk about what the Lord reminded me about.

And it's this.
