Introduction
Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24v4
"Take heed that no one deceives you".
The primary warning that Jesus gave about the last days, was in relation to deception.
We are hearing a lot in these days about misinformation and information wars.
Who do we believe, what is our source of truth and on whom do we depend?
Relevant questions especially after the past 2 years wouldn't you say?
Let's explore this subject in the light of God's Word.
Don't believe everything you hear
1 Timothy 4v1&2
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,
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron".
So, Jesus warns about deception. Many would come in His name, false prophets would arise and Paul tells us that in spite of that warning “many" will be deceived and seduced through deceiving spirits, doctrines of demons and lies.
To me it is clear, there is a spirit of delusion and deception working in the earth through lies, the twisting and manipulating of the truth, in order to seduce people, including believers, to draw them away from Christ and cause them to buy into the Satanic end-time agenda.
Remember Jesus when speaking to the Pharisees in John 8v44&45
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources or nature, for he is a liar and the father of it.
45“But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. NKJV
Jesus calls Satan, the father of lies. That’s his character and nature.
Satan is also called “the god of this world” 2 Corinthians 4v4
So it follows, that one of his main tactics, is to deceive, seduce and control humanity, through lies and he is an expert at it.
He has many weapons in his armoury, including propaganda, controlling the sources of information and passing of truth as lies and vice versa, as well as controlling and influencing how people react by spreading fear. He uses governments and the mainstream media to create an environment of fear - Project Fear – which creates the conditions to manipulate people’s thinking, actions and reactions.
I firmly believe that what the world went through these last 2 years, in the form of a so called “pandemic”, was social engineering at it’s evil best.
Definition of social engineering:
The use of centralized planning in an attempt to manage social change and regulate the future development and behaviour of a society.
For manage and regulate read “control".
At the start of the “pandemic” the Holy Spirit give me a verse from the Psalms.
“There were they in great fear (Hebrew: they feared a fear), where no fear was…..” Psalm 53v5
Fear was everywhere, it was palpable and for many they have lived in fear since but God made it clear to me, that this was a manufactured fear, to manipulate people to do what the powers that be, wanted them to do. Did it work? Of course it did, people willingly give up freedom’s, accepted lockdowns, businesses closed, schools closed, churches closed their doors and mask wearing and social distancing became and has remained the “new norm”.
We were being manipulated and controlled folks and if you don’t see it by now, I am going to be very blunt and honest and tell you that you have been deceived. It will take humility to admit it but if you don't, you will continue to be deceived and that is a very dangerous thing in these last days. Sorry, but the hour to wrap the body of Christ in cotton wool and tickle ears is over. It’s time to awaken out of our sleep.
11¶ “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light”.
Do we know the time? Are we aware of the lateness of the hour? Do we understand that we are in a battle with the powers of darkness? Do we understand the Satanic agenda and strategies of the enemy of our souls?
It’s time to cast off the works of darkness including listening to, believing and being deceived by the lies of the enemy. Deception, lies, unbelief, a wrong mindset and an unrenewed mind, these are works of darkness. Anything that does not have God as it’s source is evil and will appeal to our soulish, unrenewed mind. The unrenewed mind is susceptible to fear, deception and the lies of the enemy and that is why the Word of God must be our source, it is Truth, unadulterated divine Truth and we must abide in the Truth in these days.
The government, scientists, medical professionals and media including the BBC, ITV, Sky and all the major news outlets have been complicit in spreading a cocktail of lies and half truths. The governments Behaviour Insight Team (BIT) has been utilised to manipulate and condition public perceptions and attitudes and to paint a picture of the apocalypse.
The Hegelian Dialectic has been utilised by the globalist elite, who control our governments, to get us to a point were society is unrecognisable from what it was. We are in a “new norm" now but are we there by choice or design?
The Hegelian Dialectic basically follows this process:
1. Create a problem
2. Illicit a reaction based on fear and manipulation
3. Implement the pre-planned solution
Problem>Reaction >Solution.
Hegelian dialectic definition:
NOUN
philosophy
an interpretive method in which the contradiction between a proposition (thesis) and its antithesis is resolved at a higher level of truth (synthesis)

The desired outcome has been achieved within society and sadly within the church, with many church leaders complying with the draconian edicts and failing to take a stand based on God’s word and truth. Many have been deceived (not all, remember there were 7,000 who did not comply but stood for Truth in Elijah's day) and have been used to spread deceit and fear from the pulpit.
Compromise, Compliance and Control
18¶Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. NKJV
So in the Apostle John's day he said it was the last hour. What time are we in now, the last seconds of the last hour?
He made it clear that the figure the Bible calls the AntiChrist or Man of Sin was coming.
Do you believe the Word of God? Do you believe that the rulers of this world are being used by Satan to create the conditions for the prophesied one world political, religious and economic government or beast system (Revelation 13, 17 & 18) which will be headed up by the personage of the AntiChrist and his religious sidekick the False Prophet.
A Luciferian elite are the hidden power behind governments and control world events through such groups as the World Economic Forum (WEF) headed up by Klaus Schwab, Bilderberger Group, Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in USA, Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) in UK and in economics through the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Bank of International Settlements. This list is by no means exhaustive.
The WEF and Klaus Schwab, working with governments and the world’s biggest companies are in the process of implementing their planned Great Reset (with a cashless microchipped, controlled society at its very heart) also known as Build Back Better, Fourth Industrial Revolution and Internet of Things. Central to this is the conditioning of society to become compliant and obedient. How better than through the fear induced pandemic, to condition the public and create a compliant and obedient population across the world.
The Word of God tells us about a mystery in 2 Thessalonians 2 and Revelation 17
The mystery of iniquity or lawlessness and Mystery Babylon.
Satan’s plan to enslave humanity, started back in the Garden of Eden and will culminate in the final Satanic kingdom, which will control the world for 3.5 years, during the period the Bible calls the Great Tribulation.
From Nimrod and the first attempt at world government in Genesis 11, through successive kingdoms and empires (Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome) and evil tyrants and dictators such as Nero, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin - and the totalitarian leaders who are rising up under the guise of democracy but who have assumed dictatorial powers because of the pandemic such as Trudeau, Ardern, Macron etc. and after 9/11 when George Bush assumed dictatorial powers under the Patriot Act - we have witnessed the outworking of the mystery of iniquity.
We have entered “the endgame". Everything in the cosmic battle between Jehovah and Satan has been leading up to this time.
That’s why there has been such a push to have universal compliance (do you notice that 90% vaccination take up was not sufficient (mandatory vaccination in Austria and Italy, Australia, Canada and Germany look like they are going the same way), the majority complying with mask wearing not sufficient, no again 100% wanted, why, why, why?). The globalist elite want to exercise control over every aspect of our lives. Of course compromise has also been necessary and the church system (not the true ekkelsia though) has meekly obliged with church leaders from every denomination in Northern Ireland meeting secretly with government officials including the Minister for Health in zoom meetings via the Interfaith Forum to discuss Covid related issues and receive information and instruction from the government. There has been no transparency nor any record of what was discussed made available to the public unless obtained by a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. It shouldn’t surprise us then that churches have adopted a generally uniform policy, implementing and complying with government directives including mask wearing. Compliance and compromise at it’s worst, including restricting praise and worship, expecting and dictating that the people of God sing and offer praises to God through a mask, which is an affront to the God we serve.

Who are we to obey and honour?
God or men?
When threatened and commanded by the authorities in Acts 4 to speak or teach no more in the name of Jesus, Peter and John answered
19But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Does that sound like compliance or compromise to you?
Oh for God to raise up a holy band of men and women in these days, that will discern the season and time we have entered, will recognise the AntiChrist spirit that is working to deceive and enslave people in fear and will have the Holy Ghost boldness to say like the three Hebrew children, we refuse to bow the knee or serve the god of this world and compromise the Truth but rather we will “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”. Jude v3b
In Part 2 of this message we will be examining the need for humility and repentance - both individually and collectively in the body of Christ - and the need for a change in attitude and mindset, from relying on our own wisdom and leaning on our own understanding, so that we can come into a place of total and absolute
dependance on the Holy Spirit. If we acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will direct our paths. Proverbs 3v4&5.

If we meet the conditions, the Holy Spirit will impart wisdom, understanding and discernment, which will keep us from deception,
so that we can stand and having done all, we will stand.
