An excerpt from “AgAir Update” entitled, “Spiritual Deception And Gifts From God” by Carlin Lawrence, states: “Christians are not to conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Then we will be able to test and prove what God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will is (Romans 12:2). If we are to be led by the Holy Spirit we must learn to think like the Holy Spirit, because our actions will always be the result of our thinking. The only way we can renew our minds to think like the Holy Spirit is to read, study, and meditate on God’s Word—that takes an act of our will.” This article may be viewed at: https://www.agairupdate.com/spiritual-deception-and-gifts-from-god [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 4:14]
Application: “Jesus said on the Mount of Olives (Matt. 24) that deception would be the primary cultural sign of the last days. Even some of God’s “elect” might be deceived by false theologies. “Good would be called evil and evil good” (Isaiah 5:20). Men would substitute light for darkness and darkness for light. Apostasy would consume churches and denominations that were once solid.” [Source: https://olivetreeviews.org/news/spiritual-deception ]
