The great deceiver, of course, is Satan. He does everything in his powers to deceive God’s creation in mankind to be unfaithful to the Word of God. He gets great delight from deceiving the children of God. If indeed you are a child of God. And even if you are a child of God, you cannot have one foot in the world, and one foot in the Kingdom of God, and dare think you will receive the spiritual blessings of God.
God, speaking from His holy Temple in the flesh and blood body of the Lord Jesus Christ, made it clear who were the children of the Kingdom versus the children of the devil:
“He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.” (Matthew 13:37-39, KJV).
But because the devil, and the Antichrist spirits, are so good at deceiving us, we fall victim to the world without even realizing it.
While praying in the Spirit, the Spirit revealed concerning Satan:
“Satan is a great, great, great deceiver. He is not a chomp angel. He is a fallen spirit. He was created just as your Daddy the King was created, little Gupper, a bright and morning star, by the Father. Our Heavenly Father. But Satan never said to the Father: ‘Let us make man in our image,’ but your Daddy the King did. Made a King over our Father’s heavenly host by the Father. Satan is always looking for moments to devour you. He is a great deceiver. And you cannot have one foot in Satan’s world of darkness, and one foot in God’s Kingdom of Light, and dare think that this will be okay with God,” revealed the Spirit.
For awhile, Peter had one foot in the world, and one foot in the Kingdom. This is an example of how Peter allowed Lucifer to use him to say to Jesus:
“Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.” (Matthew 16:22, KJV). Jesus responded directly to Satan: “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” (Matthew 22:23, KJV).
Unless you have been transformed by the Spirit, you really have no weapon that you can use to fight the enemy with. For the Kingdom that God commanded us to seek when He was One with the Son of Man, is the Sword of the Lord. By this Spirit, which is symbolic of a double-edged Sword, God can lift one up, and by this same Spirit, He can just cut the legs right out from under you.
To defeat the enemy on the battlefield between good and evil, the Sword of the Lord is the only weapon that you need. James understood that godly wisdom was the key to seeking the Kingdom:
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1 1:5-8, KJV).
James was a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am just a servant of God. But in the living Church of the living God, Jesus is not only my great high Priest, Jesus is my Friend that is closer than a brother. At the beginning of my transformation from the world of darkness to God’s Kingdom of Light, when I was a double minded man, unstable in all my ways, even though I had been born again of the Spirit, I still had one foot in this old world ruled over by Satan, and one foot in God’s Kingdom of Light from above called Jerusalem. Which is why God offered no protection at times, allowing Satan to deceive me as part of my training to make me a strong servant.
Satan deceived me a lot during my transformation from the world into God’s glorious Kingdom of Light from above called Jerusalem. Only because I could not see the enemy coming against me. But the Sword of the Lord can see everything the devil is up to, and will provide a hedge of protection from the enemy. Unless you have this hedge of protection, the minute you think you cannot be deceived by Satan, is the moment you have been deceived. God does not call him the great deceiver just for the hell of it. While I am a born again child of the Most High God, and Satan can’t touch this, he will always be…“The Great Deceiver.”
