“Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants. On that last Day many will call me Lord. They will say, ‘Lord, Lord, by the power of your name we spoke for God. And by your name we forced out demons and did many miracles.’ Then I will tell those people clearly, ‘Get away from me, you people who do wrong. I never knew you.’

Matthew 7:21-23

In my head, I often think to myself that those who offer "advice" should practice saying "Lord, Lord . . ."

Yet, I know that I am great among sinners, and have NO righteousness, other than HIS.

It's a narrow path, indeed . . .

Yes. This is sobering. Especially when so many Christians whom I have know and loved have been so deceived.

Yet, Satan, the Evil One, the one who has for now been allowed to be Prince of the air, is intent upon deception and particularly of Christians.

Well said Tom. I try hard and sometimes fail to first inquire of the Lord before speaking. I fail when I do not wait on the Lord to answer.

The Lord loves me anyway as He takes me through learning patience as He corrects me in the Word. Proverbs 19:20 Listen to advice and accept correction, and in the end you will be wise.

"that even the elect will be deceived". I know it's out of context, but worth it when Christians profess they were doing "the right thing", by being jabbed. So sad for those that want children. My children are very important to me, but one son has chosen not to have children. I don't judge him! I worry for our two granddaughters.

Matt: 24:22

“And unless those days were shortened (last days), no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.””

Thing is, it may not be totally out of context.

Deceptions are built on deceptions. A word or phrase is corrupted and then used to build upon other ideas until a larger idea is built upon a lie.

The fear propagated through the population will also facilitate more self-deception later on. What has been done will have laid the groundwork for yet greater deceptions to come.

The notion that a certain phenomenon is of science and has no spiritual nature is a prime example. Consider the notion of "alien visitors" now showing up on Rogan, Shawn Ryan, and legacy media. It's meant to clothe a demonic phenomenon in "science." One who understands these things are demonic will have a spiritual worldview. Another will dismiss that spiritual worldview because he has an explanation in "science."

The truth that they are fallen angels and demons will be hidden in a lie that has been under construction for a very long time.

Lies are built on other lies, they all come from the same source, and they all work to the same end. Satan was a liar and a murderer from the very beginning.

Scariest Scripture in the Bible.

They knew Him, but He says He never knew THEM.

I personally believe these are demons ruling in human bodies, among us.
