Satan Seals Off the Truth from those who Embrace His Original Lie

“Even him (the antichrist), whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

They had more pleasure in their unrighteous living than in the truth. They chose to love their own pleasurous lifestyle than the truth revealed in God’s Word.

That “spirit of antichrist” sits in the temple of his own heart, refusing to allow Christ to reign supreme. This is the the exact evil disposition and spirit that underlies the OSAS lie – as it did with Adam and Eve. – “And the serpent (Satan) said unto the woman, Ye shall NOT surely die (Lie Number 1: if you sin there will be no eternal consequences): 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-5)

This passage in 2 Thessalonians 2 (below) defines “the spirit of antichrist” (1 John 4:1-3):

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

“Antichrist” is a Bible word and means in place of Christ (1 John 4:1-3). When we put ourselves in place of Christ, we are antichrist. When we put any teaching or false gospel in place of Christ’s clear teachings, we are are submitting to and walking in “the spirit of antichrist.” So many today erroneously believe they can ignore Christ’s teachings and still be in right standing with Him. These souls are completely deceived because Jesus tied the two together:

“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me AND of my words (teachings) in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38

The LORD Jesus taught:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

The Evil Spirit Behind OSAS and its Devotees

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly (plainly, specifically), that in the latter times some shall depart (leave) from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2

Does Satan have “doctrines”? He sure does. Well, he taught the man and the woman in the Garden – contrary to what God had just told them – view and compare the words of the LORD recorded in Genesis 2:17 with the words of Satan in Genesis 3:4.

OSAS (once saved always saved) – People who are inoculated from the truth because they have believed the lie of OSAS dismiss the myriad of warnings found in the New Testament. They attempt to manipulate and do interpretational acrobatics instead of simply taking God at His Word. For example, when you quote the book of Hebrews (which is loaded with warnings to believers not to fall away), they will come up with “Well that was written to the Jews.” WHATTTTT???? There’s no difference in Christ between Jew and Gentile and any beginner Bible student knows that (Ephesians 2, etc.). Hebrews addresses “holy brethren” which as the saved, includes all who are in Christ and their previous national or religious background means nothing now that they are in Christ (Hebrews 3:1; Ephesians 2; Romans 2:28-29). – “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)

But what’s at stake? Their life in this world is at stake and they simply do not want to give it up – they don’t want to have to lose their life in this world as Jesus said one must do to follow Him and go to Heaven.

“And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. … So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:27, 33

“Remember Lot’s wife (she’s turned back after being rescued). 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:32-33

Could Christ have made this any clearer?

OSAS is the doctrine of self preservation which is the antithesis of the “daily” cross Christ commanded that one take up if he’s going to follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).

“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27

We see in this verse above (Luke 19:27) that Christ’s “enemies” are those who do not allow Him to “reign over them. This is the same truth the apostle Paul nailed in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 when he said that their will be those last hour professors who have a mere “form (formula; facade) of godliness, but denying the power (the authority of Christ) thereof.”

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

These are those cross-less counterfeits that love their false leaders whom Paul says are “the enemies of the cross of Christ.”

“(For MANY (not a few) walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction (eternal damnation), whose God is their belly (selfish appetites), and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19

Cross-less counterfeits abound and they are in the pulpits. They write the cotton candy books we call “Christian.” They stage the ministries we call local churches which are nothing more than entertainment centers that tell the people what their un-circumcised hearts wish to hear. Is this not the fulfillment of prophecy? If so, why are we surprised?

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (stories, story tellers).” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

I Believe the LORD can work with the “Honest”

Let me stop for a moment and say that this writer, just as the reader, has the same sinful tendencies daily. Yet, we do ourselves no good to deny the truth – to lie against what is plainly written (James 3:14). “Lie not against the truth” but rather “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (James 3:14; Romans 3:4) You see, those who seek to hide their sins will not prosper or be in Christ. – “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13)

Seems to me that God can work with the person who chooses to be “honest.” – “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” (Luke 8:15) Many times while ministering to someone, I have heard the refreshing honesty of those not presently abiding in Christ. Yes, it’s unfortunate that they had drifted and were no longer living in communion with Jesus and yet, at least they were honest about it and not trying to cover their tracks with the OSAS lie. Many others I have spoken with about Jesus and their eternal souls, while openly living in sin, have stated things like “Oh, I’m eternally secure. I took care of my salvation years ago. I’m once saved always saved.” Friends, no one could be in a more dangerous position. Why? Read what Peter wrote:

“For IF (that means it’s possible) AFTER they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge (knowing Him) of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, AFTER they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit AGAIN; and the sow that WAS washed to her wallowing in the mire.” 2 Peter 2:20-2

Self-Serving Instead of Savior Serving

Why won’t the eternal securists simply take God at His Word?

Matthew 24:11 No matter the façade, those who believe OSAS are not and will not walk in the holy fear of God, taking personal responsibility for their every thought and action. In their darkened minds, this is what’s at stake – being able to live as THEY choose and still believe they are “eternally secure” (a term that never appears in Scripture). They will not be holy as He is holy – because in their minds it is not essential. Yet the Bible tells us something different.

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which NO man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14

If sin doesn’t separate us from God, that would mean that God is not Holy which is a lie (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; 21:8; Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 6:23;).

The language and demands found in Holy Scripture – straight from God – are far different than the fairy tale message that has deluded every “evangelical Christian” today, especially those who espouse this OSAS lie from hell.

Matthew 24:10-13

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:10-13

Here’s clear proof that OSAS adherents are not following Christ’s teaching which means they are not following Him (Mark 8:38; John 14:21). Out of personal convenience and the evil desire to live this life as they wish instead of as Christ wishes, they ignore and refuse to believe what He plainly stated.

In v13 of Matthew 24 above, Jesus Christ gives a condition for being with Him eternally but the OSAS adherent ignores that because he erroneously believes that he is unconditionally eternally secure – that is, he vainly believes that after the moment he repented and received Christ, he has no further personal responsibility to endure in saving trust/faith with Christ (abiding, fruit-bearing fellowship – John 15:1-6). But according to the New Testament record, continuing to the end is essential to being with Christ in Heaven – being found in Christ in that last dying breath (Matthew 24-25; Luke 12:35-40; Colossians 1:23; Hebrews 2:3; 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39, etc.).

Nothing could be more deadly than believing you are secure when you are not. The most deceived person is the one who was once genuinely saved and is now living outside of an abiding fellowship with Christ. Yet the OSAS lie leads it’s gullible adherents to believe that they are still secure eternally while living their personal life outside of intimacy with Christ (1 John 17; John 15:1-6). While living life on their own terms – “having a (mere) for of godliness” – they still believe they are going to Heaven when they die (2 Timothy 3:1-7). This is perhaps Satan greatest deception and his first. See Genesis 2:17; 3:4. This is exactly why we put together the books Lie of the Ages and Soul Damning Sins.

The OSAS adherent allows his tradition to trump the very words of the One he claims saved him and holds him in the state of “eternal security.” Such an “evangelical” dupe is no different than the Mormon cultist whose book of Mormon trumps God’s Word. His traditions – that which man and devils taught him – takes precedence over Christ and what His holy apostles plainly stated.

“Beware lest ANY MAN spoil you (ruin your eternal soul) through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8

We are warned not to allow any mere “man” to steal away our heavenly crown (salvation). Yet, some are literally hell bent on follow their pastor instead of having a real life in God’s Word for themselves – studying to show their own selves approved unto Him so that they will not be ashamed in the end (2 Timothy 2:15).

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11

“MANY” will be deceived by the “MANY” false prophets of this last hour before Christ’s return:

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11

We know when “that spirit of antichrist” is working through a rebel when he speaks contrary to God’s Word (John 8:47; 1 John 4:3). “That spirit of antichrist” – anti (in place of) Christ is anything that contradicts His what God’s Word says, working to subvert divinely stated truth while posing as Christ’s minister (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).

The Daily Cross in Prayer [podcast]

Prayer is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3).

(Excerpt from the book I Die Daily)

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Psalms 5:3

Let’s isolate and dismantle these words of God a bit. Under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David says to the LORD:

That He (God) would hear his (David’s) “voice”
That “in the morning” the Psalmist would arise and seek God in prayer
Deliberately “in the morning,” he would “direct” his prayer and praying to the LORD – “in the morning … I will look up”

From this passage, we see that David planned or scheduled, in an intentional and calculated fashion, to meet with the LORD every morning. The phrase “in the morning” appears twice in this inspired transmission of the Holy Ghost. The man whose heart panted after the LORD – to behold His precious beauty – declared that he would “direct” (point) his prayer upward to the LORD “in the morning.” (Ps. 5:3; 27:4; Acts 13:22) Communing with the LORD was priority to David, and therefore occupied first place in his daily life. He sought the LORD firstly as he arose from sleep, and before he went forth into his day.

Jesus commanded that if any person will come after Him – truly follow Him – he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him (Luke. 9:23-24). There is no place that the cross applies more than in daily prayer. The moment one arises, he will choose either to seek God or dwell upon self-sentiments and such. He will seek Christ, or he will seek his own salvation or rescue from his troubles. We all make a “daily” choice:

“… choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

No different from those covenant saints the LORD spoke to in this important passage, those whom we dwell among are serving self – the flesh – and yet we are called upon by the LORD to “choose” to daily serve Him rather than self. We are called to “be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life.” (Phil. 2:15-16)

The LORD is calling us to purposefully declare Him as the LORD and Master of our lives, and this we do by making the premeditated decision to seek Him daily in prayer communion. Like Joshua, the way we “choose” to “serve” God must be premeditated, deliberate, daily, and in practicality. Daily, early morning, first fruit prayer is all three of these. It is the fruit of the crucified life – the life that is dead to self and in whom Christ dwells and reigns. – “Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3)

To those who seek God and not their own devices, there are many benefits (Ps. 68:19).

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

The precious peace of the “Prince of Peace” rules and reigns and makes sound the hearts of those who deny self’s ability to overcome and solve issues and problems, and instead earnestly and diligently rely upon God’s power to do such for them (Isa. 9:6; 26:3).

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:3-4

As we fix our whole being upon Jesus Christ, our thoughts will be upward to His “glorious high throne,” which is “the place of our sanctuary.” (Jer. 17:12)

God is calling each of His saints to give his whole being to Christ, and to those things that “are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Php. 4:8).

So, according to Philippians 4:6-8, saints are to rely upon the LORD and not self by submitting all their requests in prayer to Him who is their Source, and to think upon those things of Christ which are “true … honest … just … pure … lovely … of good report … if there be any virtue … if there be any praise.” It is upon “these things” that we are instructed to “think on.” (Phil. 4:8)

God’s thoughts are infinitely higher than ours, and yet it is not until we become truly “crucified with Christ” that we are going to be ruled by His thoughts and peace (Isa. 55:8-9; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 4:6-7).

Changing the way one thinks is being done by millions of people who are not regenerated (not born again). New age and religious teachers hold this thought transformation teaching closely. Anyone can change the way they think for self-serving reasons – to stop smoking, to visualize and earn more money, to have more self-esteem, etc. However, hell still awaits all who are not born again, and that takes facing the living God and Judge in repentance for sin and placing all faith in Jesus Christ, the only Savior (Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5). The only renewing of the mind and thoughts that brings glory to Jesus Christ, is that which begins with one casting his whole being upon the LORD afresh – presenting himself a “living sacrifice … unto God.” Let’s look at Romans 12:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Those who are presenting their bodies to the LORD as “living sacrifice(s)” are infused and enabled by His grace to keep their minds or thoughts stayed (fixed) upon the LORD and not self, as they look for Jesus’ soon return (Col. 3:1-4). They trust Christ and not their own strength, reasoning, whims, philosophies, or wisdom. As they give themselves over to Christ and His infinite divine power, and become weak in self and self’s abilities, Jesus’ power raises them up to trust Him and rely upon Him alone – to rest the weight of their whole beings in Him who is able. They first declare that they are not able, and that only “God is able.” (Eph. 3:20; 2 Cor. 9:8) These are they who have and are finding out in a personal way that there really is nothing impossible with the LORD!

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

Abraham trusted God. He is our human example of a man who walked with God – by faith believing that God would raise up that to which he died. Concerning the promise of a son being born to him and his aged wife, the Bible records these words from the LORD to His servant Abraham:

“Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” Genesis 18:14

If God can and will split the Red Sea for His people, and cause a 100-year-old man and his 90-year-old wife to have a child, what in your life can’t He do? (Gen. 17:17)

Here’s yet another question posed to our hearts from the LORD:

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27

God requires that we die to self-will, self-help, and self-esteem, and lay our lives in His holy, perfect, and more-than-sufficient hands. He can then work in us and in our lives – raising up His holy standard and power to glorify Himself in and through His children. Nothing will be impossible for the LORD to perform in the lives of those who deny themselves and, like Abraham, trust God to raise up His solutions, answers, and blessings to bring Himself glory.

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth (makes alive) the dead, and (God) calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Romans 4:17

God called forth Isaac out of Abraham’s loins when it was an otherwise impossibility in the natural. In your life, beloved, “Is there anything too hard for the LORD?” (Gen. 18:14)

Our connection with God is all about relationship, and the quality of that relationship is exemplified in our prayer lives – or lack thereof. If a person is pursuing the LORD, he has a prayer life. He lays down his own desires and life and seeks God’s life. This is perhaps in no other scrutiny seen more clearly than in the value he assigns to his prayer life, and the heart affections and time he is willing to invest in it.

In Psalms 63, the Psalmist captures the life of the person who truly has a heart after God.

“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.” Psalms 63:1-8

The following is an excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers:

“’At that day ye shall ask in My name.’ John 16:26. We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us – a complete and entire and absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is nothing in which this identification is realized more than in prayer.

‘Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.’ Then why ask? The idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify ourselves with Our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove God answers prayer; we are here to be living monuments of God’s grace.

‘I say not that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you.’ Have you reached such an intimacy with God that the Lord Jesus Christ’s life of prayer is the only explanation of your life of prayer? Has Our Lord’s vicarious life become your vital life? ‘At that day’ you will be so identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.

When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to fix the blame on someone else. That is always a snare of Satan. You will find there is a reason which is a deep instruction to you, not to anyone else.”

PRAYER: Father, please bless this life to honor You and Your will first and foremost in this life You have granted, by my being authentically crucified with Christ. Please unite my heart to fear Your holy name and to number with wisdom this short time on this earth as a gift from You. I love You, Jesus, and thank You for dying for my sins and for the resurrection power of the Holy Ghost You placed in us upon salvation, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. You must increase but I must decrease. This moment, if never before, I declare and deliberately decide to place You first daily in my life – I am crucified with Christ. Early will I seek Thee. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Sanctified Cleansed Church Jesus is Returning For [podcast]

“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” John 15:3 When God is speaking to His obedient disciple, though the ingestion of His words, there is a continual cleansing – “with the washing of water by the word” (Ephesians 5:26). This is not happening unless one is truly continuing with Christ via His Word. Each and every abiding disciple of Jesus relishes, diligently devours, and lives by His words (John 8:31-32). “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 Christ makes it clear here that sanctification occurs in every abiding disciple of […]
