Deadly Deception Cloaked In Living Truth

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

Hebrews 5:11-14
Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

My Prayer:
Oh Lord please deliver us if indeed we are dull of hearing. There is a lack of discernment due to being spiritually immature, not practicing discernment or out right rebelling against the truth. So many churches are believing & teaching a deadly deception cloaked in living truth. We are allowing this counterfeit to be declared as truth in our homes and churches. Lord, forgive us and wake us up to desire and seek Your truth. Give us a hunger for the pure truth not a regurgitated version of Your truth that comes from popular authors or speakers or even pastors today.

2 Peter 2:1
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

1 Tim 6:20-21
O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge" which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith Grace be with you.
