1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit expressly
says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves
to deceitful spirits and teaching of demons." ESV
It
would be difficult to believe that Christians would intentionally follow after demonic influences. The problem is, the
demonic influences of these last days are so
subtle that they appear to be the One and Only
Truth. This places Christians who are not alert, watching, and fully equipped with the armor of God in grave danger of
being deceived. It is the gradual drifting
away, the unnoticed, seemingly harmless little deviations from the Truth that
will catch many. It doesn't have to happen to us! We are told by the Word to
stand firm, be alert, and put on the whole armor of God.
Heavenly Father,
we stand vulnerable to being deceived if don't stay alert and close to You. Help
us to stay in prayer, the Word, and communion with You so that any subtle
presence of deceit will stand out to us like a sore thumb. We pray in Jesus'
name, Amen.
