Recognize and Flee Deception
Excerpt from the Series Pagan Roots Mixed with Biblical Truth
Yahshua said to His disciples, ‘Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees’” (Matthew 16:6). They are the ones who brought in all the traditions that they felt superseded the word of Yahveh. We have a “religious system” today that has the same exact pattern. The same exact father of lies, Satan, instituted it. Yahshua said to the religious leaders, “You are of your father the devil…and [he] does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). Lying is his native dialect and when you speak, because you mix truth and error, you nullify the truth. You speak the lies of your father, Satan, who started tampering with truth back in the Garden of Eden when he slithered up and put doubt of the word of Yahveh in Eve’s mind and heart.
The susceptibility of human nature is to fall prey to error. We have Yahshua’s Spirit in us, the Spirit of Truth that will lead us into all truth. You really shouldn’t listen to the words that come out of any person’s mouth unless they line up in plumb with the word of Yahveh. Which means you must, as never before, study to show yourself approved from the beginning of the Bible to the end, because one half without the other is blind-sightedness. You would not want one eye blind, (knowing only partial truth) and try to find your way to the New Jerusalem, would you?
We must be willing to exchange everything we have inherited that is a perpetuated lie that has come from the father of lies and will continue to the very end of the age. “…Someone said to Him, ‘Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?’ And He said to them, ‘Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able’” (Luke 13:23-24). He said many will really want to; these are not atheists or agnostics; they are going to be religious folks. They are not going to be able to enter because they are not willing to make the exchange, to count the cost, to leave everything familiar, including the love and acceptance of people, family, friends, and even religious family—their “spiritual kin.”
How much do we want our Bridegroom? We are going on a honeymoon with Him—do we take everyone with us? Let’s grow up, we are getting ready to be married, leaving father, mother, sister, brother, husband, wife. That is what we do. “…a man shall leave his father and mother [his family] and shall be joined to his wife…” (see Ephesians 5:31). And the bride is getting herself ready! And as much as we love our family or something that we are going to have to leave behind, nothing is to compare with our passionate preparation for Yahshua, our Bridegroom.
Setting the Captives Free
The heart of Yahveh is pulsating with intensity so that no one drags their feet but rather starts running away from the outer court of the deceived “religious system” that is part of the world’s system, ruled by “Satan, the prince of this world” (John 12:31). Like it or not, that is true. If you don’t like it, you will find out, hopefully not too late, because this is a move of Yahveh. The Messiah told His disciples that surely in the last days, “that which is hidden is going to be revealed” (Luke 8:17). “Yahshua [Jesus] replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things” (Matthew 17:11)—Yahveh’s Commandments being upheld, which upholds Yahshua’s blood that poured out, that we might be His people who do the will of His Father.
Did the will of the Holy One of Israel become the will of Holy One of the Gentile nation with its camouflaged sun god and pantheons galore? They have been intermingled, intermixed, and riddled in this religious system of “Christianity” for so many years. Nobody investigates it except for those who are waking up! Wake up, O sleeper, wake up, rise from spiritual death because it will be spiritual death for you. You are not alive in the Spirit to the degree He has redeemed you to be because you can’t go into His Presence with foreign garments and foreskin on your hearts. You cannot partake of that which is unholy and holy mixed together because it is an abomination in His sight.
Yahshua (Jesus) is speaking because the hour is so late and the door is about to close: “And then He will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness’” (Matthew 7:23). We must find out what pleases Yahveh and do it: “to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17) and “sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4) it is the breaking of the Commandments. We have all sinned more than we even know.
Many sit in the ivory towers of compromised so called “Christianity” thinking all is well with their souls as they wait to be raptured. Pride and arrogance are coming down. The “world’s religious system” is coming down. It is coming down as sure as the temple in Herod’s day. It is finished, says Yahveh Elohim (God) of Israel. Come out of her, My people.
Come out of her before it collapses and you are under that rubble. Come out of her, My people, that you do not partake of her sin and judgments. This is dire. The truth is setting us free and whom the Son sets free is free to do what? Free to obey the will of our Father without caring about what people think or what we lose; we are not losing it, we are giving it in exchange. We are placing it on the altar because we want more of Him and less of everything that grieves Him. So that there is nothing left but a repentant heart that is contrite and humble and trembles at His word.
