06LHCD7-1 - Nathan Hopson - DECEPTION - Donation $4.00 - This message begins with the statement that one of the greatest neglects in the church today is the failure to prepare God's people to deal with deception. Throughout the Scriptures we are warned to beware of deception, but the mentality amongst most believers is that others can be deceived, but that can't happen to me. The very fact you don't believe you can be deceived indicates you already are! This message looks at how the New Testament churches were deceived, and also alerts the listener to red flags of deceptive tactics we need to be aware of right now. For example, "I know you think this is what the Word of God says, but that's really not what it means," was the tactic satan used on Eve. 2 Cor 11:3 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ". That word simplicity refers to singleness, without duplicity. Stay focused on Jesus. Prayers for deliverance conclude this service.
