24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. (Matthew 7:24-25)

We must know the difference between those building sand castles vs. on the Rock which is Jesus Christ.

Lip service vs. Living Service.
Head knowledge vs. Heart Posture.
Looking Holy vs. Living Holy.
 
(2 Kings 6:11-18)

A few things we can learn from Elisha.

He believed our God is greater than the enemies threats.
He prayed and humbled himself before the Lord.
He prayed a spiritual warfare prayer against the enemy.

Our level of humility and reverence towards God will give us this true authority and power!

Jesus warns us in Matthew 24 several times about the deception that is coming...

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. (Matthew 24:4-5)

11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. (Matthew 24:11)

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (Matthew 24:24)

We must also learn to discern the different voices out there.

#1 World
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

#2 Devil
3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” (Matthew 4:3-4)

#3 Flesh
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (Galatians 5:16-17)

#4 Holy Spirit

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26)

Here are 4 strategies the enemy uses to deceive us...

#1 What you SOW INTO…

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. (Galatians 6:7)

#2 Empty words

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. (Ephesians 5:6)

#3 Your circle & environment

33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” (1 Corinthians 15:33)

#4 Not being a doer the word

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. (James 1:22)

How to overcome deception?
#1 Heart Transformation - pure heart.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. (Matthew 5:8)

#2 Studying Information - the word of God.
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

#3 Meditating on Revelation - seeking God.
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8)
