There is coming to this earth such devilish deception as we have never seen before. Jesus said, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:24).
If it were possible, Satan would deceive the very children of God! Don’t think that your intellect or good intentions will keep you from being deceived. Only the Holy Spirit of God will help you to see clearly in these days in which we live.
Satan is coming, and he is going to take command. He will have incredible power and influence. He will be Satan in human flesh, just as Jesus Christ was God in human flesh.
Let me tell you something about the devil—he is not against religion. He uses religion. The temptation in the Garden of Eden was not for Adam and Eve to fall down, it was to fall up. Satan told them, “You can be like God” (see Genesis 3). Satan does not want casualties, he wants converts. Satan wants worship.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
