Blinders

Scripture:
“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.” John 3:19 (NIV)
“I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.” John 5:43 (NIV)
“for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4 (NIV)
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Revelation 13:14 (KJV)

Application:
No one will be deceived by Satan unless they allow themselves to be deceived. His easy targets? People who fall for leaders who are pompous, arrogant, and self-promoting. The only Way to avoid being deceived is to believe in Jesus.
If you honor Jesus as Lord, you won’t fall to the deceivers.


Prayer:
Father, thank You for making salvation so simple. I’m so happy to be 100% certain I am saved. But I want more. I pray that as many people as possible won’t be deceived by self-promoting liars. Amen.
