"We've Been Lied To" RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole

WEBVTT

00:00:24.579 --> 00:00:28.399
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul.

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:31.719
Yes, Father God, we recognize we are in a war.

00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.359
And we thank you, Father, for the victory that you have already obtained through

00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.999
the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.019
Thank you, Lord, for dying on the cross and defeating our enemy and securing

00:00:43.019 --> 00:00:46.059
for us a place at your table forever in heaven.

00:00:46.059 --> 00:00:49.359
And we thank you, Lord God, for the revelation of that truth to many,

00:00:49.419 --> 00:00:53.979
many today who will hear this and be turned from death and destruction to the

00:00:53.979 --> 00:00:55.439
place of righteousness and truth.

00:00:55.779 --> 00:00:59.659
Thank you for giving us eyes to see, ears to hear, and for protecting us that

00:00:59.659 --> 00:01:02.579
the enemy cannot snatch these words out of our minds, our hearts,

00:01:02.739 --> 00:01:04.219
but that we will act upon them.

00:01:04.299 --> 00:01:07.439
We will take them seriously. We will listen to your word.

00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:09.799
We'll seek your truth and your direction.

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.319
I thank you, Lord, for wisdom. I thank you that if any man lacks wisdom,

00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.099
you said to ask of God. And I thank you now for that wisdom.

00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:19.819
I thank you for the divine protection over this day, especially that the enemy

00:01:19.819 --> 00:01:22.459
cannot get in to bite, divide,

00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.679
devour, destroy, or deceive us, that we will rightly divide your holy word of

00:01:25.679 --> 00:01:28.759
truth, and that the thoughts and the meditations of our hearts will be right

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:31.599
and acceptable in your sight this day and in the days forward,

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.959
and that we will not be deceived, Father God.

00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:38.879
Protect us and protect us from the seductions and the enchantments of witchcraft

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:45.319
and sorcery, Father, we rebuke those spirits, those afflictions and attacks against the humankind,

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:50.119
your people, and that their minds will be set free and delivered from these

00:01:50.119 --> 00:01:53.199
deceptions and delusions. In Jesus' name, amen.

00:01:54.268 --> 00:01:59.548
Amen. So I have a question for you, Jerry. Okay. What do you do when you've been lied to?

00:02:00.228 --> 00:02:03.728
What do I do when I've been lied to? But a lot of people are lied to,

00:02:03.888 --> 00:02:05.768
and they accept the lies as truth.

00:02:06.248 --> 00:02:08.868
Well, yeah, they don't know they're lied to, and that's why they don't do anything

00:02:08.868 --> 00:02:12.928
about it. That's what deception is, is that you think you know something that's

00:02:12.928 --> 00:02:14.128
true and right. You think, yeah.

00:02:14.308 --> 00:02:17.668
You think it's right. Been led to believe. You're led to believe it's right,

00:02:17.708 --> 00:02:23.588
and maybe nobody can even convince you that it's right or wrong.

00:02:23.588 --> 00:02:25.568
That you've been lied to. That you've been lied to.

00:02:25.748 --> 00:02:30.028
Yeah, yeah. And people hold to lies tenaciously.

00:02:30.368 --> 00:02:33.988
And that is one of the hardest things for people to ever do,

00:02:33.988 --> 00:02:39.128
is to admit they've been lied to. I don't know why that is, but it is.

00:02:39.488 --> 00:02:43.908
But the word says that in the last days there would be deception.

00:02:44.668 --> 00:02:49.048
And, you know, we are without a doubt in those last days because we were past

00:02:49.048 --> 00:02:53.728
the part where wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes in various places,

00:02:53.728 --> 00:02:58.968
we've had that, we're in that all the time, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes.

00:02:59.468 --> 00:03:05.808
You know, we have been flattered and conned by our prophets,

00:03:05.988 --> 00:03:07.528
our priests, our leaders and,

00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.660
here we sit. Yeah, Jesus warned us that these things would come.

00:03:13.820 --> 00:03:18.820
And you know, even John, the apostle who wrote the book of Revelations when

00:03:18.820 --> 00:03:22.660
he was very, very old, and you know, back in those days, they had none of the

00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:26.960
technology that we are so familiar with. No internet, no AI.

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.300
No. Of course. They didn't even have Microsoft Word. He was writing on a parchment.

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:35.580
I mean, he did not know the names of what we now call and are very familiar

00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:40.060
with our household words and names nowadays, but he's warned us.

00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:46.160
He wrote the book of Revelations even, and he nailed, he really nailed the advanced

00:03:46.160 --> 00:03:51.080
technology that would be part of the end days when he described the capabilities of AI.

00:03:51.380 --> 00:03:59.000
And he said, you know, the image, what image generations, doctoring of photos, animations.

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:05.060
Virtual reality. Yeah, and yeah, exactly. And he said it this way,

00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:11.760
And these technologies gave breath to the image of the beast that should both

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:15.560
speak and cause as many as would not worship the beast to be killed.

00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:20.420
So there is an image of the beast. There is this, I don't know what we would even call it,

00:04:20.940 --> 00:04:24.920
AI, hologram, whatever it is, this image of the beast that is actually going

00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:31.140
to give, have breath and words to be able to speak and deceive the people into worshiping the beast.

00:04:31.140 --> 00:04:35.360
Well, we've got that now because, you know, you can look at something.

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:40.140
AI-generated movies, AI-generated people.

00:04:40.780 --> 00:04:46.120
Yeah, songs. People that look so much like real people, but they're really not real people.

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:50.660
And, you know, this is part of the end days deception. And how did we get here?

00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:51.860
That's, I guess, the question.

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.520
And how do we know what to do about it? So when they were at that point in Revelation

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:05.320
13, 15, where they were being deceived by this enchantment, by this marvelous...

00:05:05.693 --> 00:05:10.853
Demonstration of life coming from an inanimate object, they were told that they

00:05:10.853 --> 00:05:13.693
had to worship the beast or take his mark.

00:05:13.833 --> 00:05:15.993
Can we demonically generate it?

00:05:16.233 --> 00:05:18.693
I think we can say demonically animated.

00:05:19.053 --> 00:05:24.113
Animated? I don't think AI is artificial intelligence. I think it's alien intelligence.

00:05:24.153 --> 00:05:26.893
Alien intelligence. Yeah, that's coming from the second heaven.

00:05:27.073 --> 00:05:29.593
That's part of the tree of the knowledge of good and forbidden tree.

00:05:29.593 --> 00:05:31.793
And we're already worshiping AI.

00:05:32.373 --> 00:05:36.913
Well, we're not only worshiping, we're dependent on it. Dependent on it. Which is scary.

00:05:37.313 --> 00:05:42.273
Yeah, dependent on it and worshiping it. We're talking all marvelous.

00:05:42.493 --> 00:05:46.813
Yeah, but what's scary about that really is what's going on with this pressure

00:05:46.813 --> 00:05:51.653
to push us to this point of worshiping this beast.

00:05:52.113 --> 00:05:57.493
And what happens if we don't? He said they were forced to worship or they would be killed.

00:05:57.773 --> 00:06:01.573
This is a real thing. everything in the Bible that you think of as just,

00:06:01.713 --> 00:06:04.133
oh yeah, it was happening back then, or maybe it didn't happen,

00:06:04.193 --> 00:06:05.173
or maybe it's just a story.

00:06:05.793 --> 00:06:11.833
It's all real, and we're moving right through the chapters, the books of the

00:06:11.833 --> 00:06:14.113
Bible, almost racing towards the end.

00:06:14.653 --> 00:06:20.013
We see that what's going on now, everything there, the media,

00:06:20.193 --> 00:06:25.993
the politicians, the authors, even many pastors, many priests,

00:06:25.993 --> 00:06:29.633
are preparing us to embrace.

00:06:29.933 --> 00:06:33.393
They're of the spirit of the Antichrist. Yeah, but they don't know it.

00:06:33.393 --> 00:06:34.073
And they're prepared...

00:06:34.743 --> 00:06:38.223
They're preparing us. We're being so conditioned.

00:06:38.423 --> 00:06:41.883
We don't realize how conditioned we are.

00:06:42.063 --> 00:06:45.363
It's like the old proverbial frog in the kettle. Well, you know.

00:06:45.483 --> 00:06:49.183
It gets, you know, they raise the temperature of the water one degree at a time.

00:06:49.583 --> 00:06:53.403
And the frog doesn't realize it's happening until he's cooked.

00:06:53.623 --> 00:06:57.503
Another thing you could say is we're programmed, we're conditioned, we're being groomed.

00:06:57.763 --> 00:07:00.703
As that's kind of the new word for deception.

00:07:01.843 --> 00:07:05.603
And so let's go to 2 Thessalonians for a minute. and look at what's really going

00:07:05.603 --> 00:07:07.743
on here. This is a scary chapter in a way.

00:07:08.743 --> 00:07:12.163
He's talking about, you know what? Do you want to start reading in chapter two

00:07:12.163 --> 00:07:14.883
maybe? I'm going to start with verse one so we get the context.

00:07:15.083 --> 00:07:19.043
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering

00:07:19.043 --> 00:07:23.663
together to him. This is a truth. This is a reality. We're coming, we're gathering.

00:07:23.863 --> 00:07:29.723
Yeah. We ask you not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled either by spirit,

00:07:30.523 --> 00:07:33.463
interesting, or by word or by letter.

00:07:34.043 --> 00:07:38.063
In other words, don't let spirits, you're talking about evil spirits here,

00:07:38.583 --> 00:07:42.403
alarming you and saying that the day of Christ has already come.

00:07:42.963 --> 00:07:49.983
Verse three, let no one deceive you by any means. Let no one deceive you by any means, right?

00:07:50.323 --> 00:07:55.543
For that day will not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of

00:07:55.543 --> 00:07:57.663
sin is revealed, the son of perdition.

00:07:57.763 --> 00:08:01.983
Let's stop for just a second. I want you to keep reading, but falling away, that day.

00:08:02.812 --> 00:08:07.412
The callous scoffing at the coming of the Lord, at the Word of God,

00:08:07.512 --> 00:08:11.492
at Jesus Christ, at His salvation.

00:08:11.952 --> 00:08:17.252
The falling away, the indifference, the agnosticism, the busyness,

00:08:17.372 --> 00:08:20.672
the distractions, we're not paying attention.

00:08:20.852 --> 00:08:24.312
That word falling away, we think it means like falling away from the church

00:08:24.312 --> 00:08:26.832
and from truth and reality and all of that.

00:08:27.072 --> 00:08:29.572
But that word falling away can also mean departure.

00:08:30.012 --> 00:08:34.012
So it can also mean the departure of the church. So possibly you could see this

00:08:34.012 --> 00:08:36.672
both ways. The church is actually leaving the stage.

00:08:36.912 --> 00:08:39.112
Before this man of sin is revealed.

00:08:39.432 --> 00:08:44.092
That could be. Well, anyway, the son of perdition or ultimate destruction.

00:08:44.252 --> 00:08:49.812
The Antichrist, yeah. Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called

00:08:49.812 --> 00:08:51.992
God or that is worshiped.

00:08:52.832 --> 00:08:59.492
So that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

00:08:59.492 --> 00:09:01.072
Now, many believe that that would

00:09:01.072 --> 00:09:07.652
be literally in the temple that's been rebuilt by Israel in Jerusalem.

00:09:07.912 --> 00:09:12.692
It is in the process, of course, of being rebuilt with the red heifers and all the instruments.

00:09:12.912 --> 00:09:17.592
And they're going through all the training and formalities to train back up

00:09:17.592 --> 00:09:19.352
these Levites and these priests.

00:09:20.052 --> 00:09:24.212
It's happening. They're looking for a Messiah that's already come and is coming again.

00:09:24.552 --> 00:09:29.272
But anyway, do you not remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things.

00:09:29.492 --> 00:09:34.132
And now you know what is restraining that he may be revealed in his own time.

00:09:34.492 --> 00:09:38.172
For the mystery of lawlessness. This is iniquity.

00:09:38.512 --> 00:09:44.472
Hold on. This word, mystery of lawlessness, those three little words are absolutely...

00:09:45.870 --> 00:09:49.270
You know, Jesus in the last days, everything that's been hidden is going to be revealed.

00:09:49.470 --> 00:09:53.890
These mysteries of lawlessness, the corruption, the vile shedding of innocent

00:09:53.890 --> 00:09:55.350
blood that's gone on forever,

00:09:55.610 --> 00:09:59.810
in the deep recesses of the earth, in the bowels of the earth,

00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:06.550
the atrocities, the unspeakable, horrible things are going to be revealed.

00:10:06.810 --> 00:10:09.170
And this is part of that law mystery.

00:10:09.530 --> 00:10:13.690
We don't get it. It's a hidden thing, but God is revealing it to us even now.

00:10:13.690 --> 00:10:17.570
Yeah, and that's the biblical definition of mystery. It's something hidden that's

00:10:17.570 --> 00:10:21.590
now being revealed. It's not like a mystery novel, you know, we think of.

00:10:22.910 --> 00:10:27.370
It's the inner workings of lawlessness and how it works and how connected it

00:10:27.370 --> 00:10:28.170
is. It's being revealed.

00:10:28.290 --> 00:10:33.530
It's a multifaceted thing that these spirits are connected in every level,

00:10:33.670 --> 00:10:36.990
on every arena, in every situation, whether it's a biological,

00:10:37.270 --> 00:10:40.230
physiological, mental, emotional, torment, political.

00:10:40.230 --> 00:10:46.550
Go it the world is really ensnared in this the grip of the terrible one right

00:10:46.550 --> 00:10:50.690
now the mystery of the lawlessness is already at work it was already at work

00:10:50.690 --> 00:10:56.810
two thousand years now it's manifesting it's growing it's ripening yeah.

00:10:57.609 --> 00:11:01.949
Ripening for God's judgment. Anyway, only he who now restrains,

00:11:01.949 --> 00:11:08.789
that speaks of God, speaks of the Holy Spirit, will do so until he is taken out of the way.

00:11:08.929 --> 00:11:12.049
So, what this means is that the Holy Spirit, the restrainer,

00:11:12.249 --> 00:11:15.069
is holding back the devil's plan,

00:11:15.289 --> 00:11:22.289
his agenda to explode this lawlessness on the earth and capture all of the souls

00:11:22.289 --> 00:11:28.529
that he can through his snares of deception and coercion, intimidation.

00:11:28.629 --> 00:11:33.469
We have to remember that's the goal of Satan, to capture and hold.

00:11:34.009 --> 00:11:37.829
Steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus said. He's like a thief. He's come to steal,

00:11:38.089 --> 00:11:41.389
kill, and destroy the human race. What's he trying to steal?

00:11:41.549 --> 00:11:47.289
He's trying to steal our identity, our origin, our destiny, our identity as

00:11:47.289 --> 00:11:48.449
sons and daughters of God.

00:11:48.549 --> 00:11:52.189
He's come to steal, and once he steals that, he can kill and destroy because

00:11:52.189 --> 00:11:58.149
people are vulnerable. We have no defense against him except the Lord himself and his spirit.

00:11:58.229 --> 00:12:04.029
But this Holy Spirit, he's going to hold him back, restrain him until he's taken out of the way.

00:12:04.569 --> 00:12:06.669
And when, this is the next verse, verse 8.

00:12:07.278 --> 00:12:11.198
And then, so when he is taken out of the way, the Holy Spirit,

00:12:11.358 --> 00:12:13.098
he's moved off, he's moved on.

00:12:13.558 --> 00:12:18.538
Then. Then, yeah. The lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume

00:12:18.538 --> 00:12:23.098
with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming.

00:12:23.118 --> 00:12:26.898
Now, the Lord makes short work of this, but Satan has been building up his attack

00:12:26.898 --> 00:12:30.378
and his schemes against God and to take God out. Ever since the garden.

00:12:30.578 --> 00:12:34.198
Yeah, ever since the garden. And he's done every kind of technological thing,

00:12:34.738 --> 00:12:40.338
every kind of deception, murder, violence, generational curses. Human sacrifices.

00:12:40.618 --> 00:12:45.958
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but he says then, so when the Holy Spirit goes,

00:12:46.158 --> 00:12:49.618
and by the way, it's interesting that the Holy Spirit is in us.

00:12:50.078 --> 00:12:53.338
So if the Holy Spirit is taken away, I've always wondered, does that mean we

00:12:53.338 --> 00:12:54.898
get taken away at that same point?

00:12:54.938 --> 00:12:58.618
Because we are part of that restraining process. We are the righteousness of

00:12:58.618 --> 00:13:02.718
God in Christ Jesus. And so we're God's ambassadors on earth.

00:13:02.878 --> 00:13:08.578
We're the ones right now who the Holy Spirit is using to restrain the avalanche

00:13:08.578 --> 00:13:13.018
of absolute annihilation. Do you think if the Holy Spirit is withdrawn,

00:13:13.338 --> 00:13:16.678
there's just absolute annihilation?

00:13:16.838 --> 00:13:17.898
Darkness. Darkness.

00:13:19.118 --> 00:13:22.758
Absolute darkness that there's no way of getting out of it.

00:13:23.078 --> 00:13:26.218
So then the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will consume.

00:13:26.218 --> 00:13:30.438
It's good that God tells us right away, you don't have to read even two more

00:13:30.438 --> 00:13:32.418
verses. God says, I'm going to take care of it. Don't worry.

00:13:32.858 --> 00:13:35.398
I'm going to destroy him with the brightness of my coming. I'm going to,

00:13:35.398 --> 00:13:37.098
you know, smash him. But,

00:13:37.543 --> 00:13:42.103
Go ahead with verse 9. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working

00:13:42.103 --> 00:13:47.503
of Satan with all power, signs, and lying wonders.

00:13:47.883 --> 00:13:52.783
So, he's working with Satan, this lawless one. And, you know,

00:13:53.163 --> 00:13:55.803
Satan is his handler. He's the puppet master.

00:13:56.083 --> 00:14:00.063
And I believe that they're going to come with spectacular signs,

00:14:00.603 --> 00:14:02.363
wonders, lying signs and wonders.

00:14:02.523 --> 00:14:06.403
And people are used to spectacular. They're used to CGI.

00:14:06.843 --> 00:14:13.503
They're used to personalities, how can I say, that are magnetic.

00:14:13.503 --> 00:14:17.363
We tend to worship our movie stars and musicians.

00:14:18.283 --> 00:14:22.863
And all these people are stars. We're starstruck. Yeah, right.

00:14:22.923 --> 00:14:26.123
And he's going to be the star of stars in the mind of many people.

00:14:26.303 --> 00:14:29.963
And he's going to do this with all lying signs and wonders, with the deliberate

00:14:29.963 --> 00:14:31.323
intention of destroying.

00:14:31.663 --> 00:14:34.303
This is part of the enchantments. This is part of the sorcery.

00:14:34.403 --> 00:14:36.303
This is part of the drugs and pharmakia.

00:14:36.403 --> 00:14:41.883
That seduces and puts people to sleep or keeps them sleeping so that these wonders

00:14:41.883 --> 00:14:47.243
appear to be wonderful, but they're all intended with unrighteous deception.

00:14:47.243 --> 00:14:51.063
It says here, with all unrighteous deception, these wonders,

00:14:51.283 --> 00:14:56.283
signs, powers that are going to wow the people and draw them in, you know,

00:14:56.783 --> 00:15:01.583
unless they know the truth, with all unrighteous deception among those who perish

00:15:01.583 --> 00:15:06.583
because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved.

00:15:06.803 --> 00:15:11.523
So they already are in a position where they've rejected the love of the truth.

00:15:11.663 --> 00:15:14.583
It's not that God just sweeps those away who don't understand and don't know.

00:15:15.003 --> 00:15:18.483
He lights every man that comes into the world. But if we reject the love of

00:15:18.483 --> 00:15:23.063
the truth, that's when we become eligible for these signs and deceptions and

00:15:23.063 --> 00:15:24.163
unrighteous deception.

00:15:24.403 --> 00:15:28.503
And it's not that the truth was not presented. Right. The truth was presented.

00:15:29.271 --> 00:15:35.251
The truth is, it's rare. Always there, yeah. It's rare. But Satan— But it is being presented.

00:15:35.491 --> 00:15:38.371
The gospel is being presented around the world.

00:15:38.531 --> 00:15:45.551
The statements of Jesus, the Word of God, the Bible, it's all—the truth is there.

00:15:45.851 --> 00:15:50.291
It's around, but the people are not embracing it. Well, because the people have

00:15:50.291 --> 00:15:53.871
been—Satan has concocted another narrative.

00:15:54.011 --> 00:15:57.431
He's got a different explanation for everything that God has,

00:15:57.491 --> 00:16:00.391
for everything God has, for every move of God, for every miracle,

00:16:00.571 --> 00:16:02.411
for every revelation of truth.

00:16:02.651 --> 00:16:06.031
Satan has a rewrite. He has a narrative of his own.

00:16:06.171 --> 00:16:11.011
And his narratives are pumped through his media, through his resources,

00:16:11.271 --> 00:16:13.431
through this world, because that's what he does.

00:16:13.871 --> 00:16:19.291
He is the God of this world. And so he controls, owns all of the real estate.

00:16:19.911 --> 00:16:22.931
The internets, the communication systems.

00:16:23.091 --> 00:16:27.391
And so he uses that to has managed to pump all these lies through to people.

00:16:27.611 --> 00:16:32.851
So really, refusing the love of the truth is very subtle in a lot of ways.

00:16:32.971 --> 00:16:36.131
People just walk away, not interested, it's boring.

00:16:36.651 --> 00:16:40.751
And a lot of the church has presented the gospel in a very unappealing way.

00:16:40.951 --> 00:16:45.111
They have really made it all about works, and God is mad at you.

00:16:45.351 --> 00:16:49.311
And so it doesn't draw them into the love of God.

00:16:49.491 --> 00:16:53.171
So Satan has done that too. He's messed up the gospel in such a way that many

00:16:53.171 --> 00:16:56.071
people just walk away, and they say, you know, they don't go to church.

00:16:56.311 --> 00:16:59.971
And, you know, they think they equate going to church with following Jesus,

00:17:00.151 --> 00:17:02.991
and it doesn't necessarily, they don't necessarily equate.

00:17:03.231 --> 00:17:06.871
They equate what they've experienced of dead religion.

00:17:07.091 --> 00:17:14.591
The gospel's been dumbed down, twisted, and this is what you're finding in a lot of places.

00:17:14.911 --> 00:17:22.691
I mean, the gospel has been ritualized, demonized, ostracized,

00:17:22.691 --> 00:17:27.531
And because basically, if the gospel is presented with power,

00:17:28.227 --> 00:17:32.807
you know, with signs and wonders following, and not just signs and wonders.

00:17:34.287 --> 00:17:38.787
Well, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, too. There's lying signs and wonders we

00:17:38.787 --> 00:17:41.667
talked about in Revelation.

00:17:41.767 --> 00:17:43.607
There's lying signs and wonders.

00:17:43.847 --> 00:17:48.647
And so— Right here. But where the gospel is presented is because there are people

00:17:48.647 --> 00:17:53.987
that are living in the truth, having the fruit of the Spirit. And they're the light.

00:17:54.167 --> 00:17:57.187
They're the light of the world, the solid of the— expressing.

00:17:57.467 --> 00:18:04.567
What the fruit of the Spirit is, is the expression of the character of God in

00:18:04.567 --> 00:18:07.587
and through us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

00:18:08.067 --> 00:18:10.707
That's what the fruit of the Spirit, it's not the fruit of us.

00:18:10.847 --> 00:18:13.627
It's not the fruit of all of a sudden we become nice.

00:18:13.887 --> 00:18:21.587
It's the Spirit of God working through us, expressing that in tangible ways to people.

00:18:22.087 --> 00:18:25.167
It's called love. It's called abiding in Jesus Christ.

00:18:25.487 --> 00:18:29.527
But the thing is, here's the scary part in 2 Thessalonians there.

00:18:29.827 --> 00:18:34.907
And with all unrighteous deception, he is deceiving those who perish. Why?

00:18:35.247 --> 00:18:40.327
Because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. So, for this reason...

00:18:41.010 --> 00:18:43.710
God will send them strong delusion. You say, well, wait a minute,

00:18:43.790 --> 00:18:47.970
God is sending them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie?

00:18:48.230 --> 00:18:51.010
I thought God can't lie. I thought God doesn't lie.

00:18:51.390 --> 00:18:54.670
That's what James says. There's no deception, no unrighteousness in him.

00:18:54.870 --> 00:18:56.630
How can he send a strong delusion?

00:18:57.050 --> 00:19:00.510
Well, we have to understand, you put the devil in the equation and this makes total sense.

00:19:00.730 --> 00:19:05.630
The rule is whom we yield ourselves, servants to obey, that's who slave we become.

00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:11.410
And when we have rejected the love of the truth because we've been deceived.

00:19:11.730 --> 00:19:16.990
The delusion, Satan then is permitted to put in his delusion because we have refused the truth.

00:19:17.210 --> 00:19:21.250
The truth is what brings us to freedom and life and eternal life with God.

00:19:21.390 --> 00:19:25.310
But the delusion, what's the definition of delusion? I think you have that somewhere.

00:19:25.450 --> 00:19:31.250
Yeah, the definition of delusion is it's a fixed false belief. Oh, yeah.

00:19:31.621 --> 00:19:36.401
Held with intense conviction despite evidence to the contrary.

00:19:36.461 --> 00:19:38.321
Wow, that's a pretty powerful definition.

00:19:38.521 --> 00:19:40.901
Can you read that again, please? That is major.

00:19:41.161 --> 00:19:49.601
A delusion is a fixed false belief held with intense conviction despite evidence

00:19:49.601 --> 00:19:51.461
to the contrary. Held with what?

00:19:52.001 --> 00:19:57.061
Intense conviction. So they really believe in the lie. You're really hooked into it.

00:19:58.101 --> 00:20:02.481
And what will unhook us from that? Well, you know, when we refuse the love of

00:20:02.481 --> 00:20:08.741
the truth, God is forced to permit Thetan to have his way in our life.

00:20:08.781 --> 00:20:10.001
And we have just been deceived.

00:20:10.121 --> 00:20:13.421
And this is what's going to happen in the end. There's going to be this strong delusion.

00:20:13.741 --> 00:20:16.001
And people are going to believe a lot. They're going to be mad at God.

00:20:16.421 --> 00:20:20.321
Judge God. You know, he wasn't there for me. And staying bitter and all of these things.

00:20:20.521 --> 00:20:25.901
And they're going to, this intense, you know, holding onto their bitterness

00:20:25.901 --> 00:20:27.921
and hurt and justifying. justifying?

00:20:28.321 --> 00:20:34.121
Is bitterness, is holding on to bitterness and staying mad at anybody,

00:20:34.361 --> 00:20:37.841
including yourself, is that worth going to hell over?

00:20:38.081 --> 00:20:41.761
Do you realize how long hell is? Do you realize it doesn't end?

00:20:42.001 --> 00:20:47.721
You realize that it's unspeakable, but is what you're doing right now to resist

00:20:47.721 --> 00:20:52.521
God, stay mad at your brother, your sister, whatever, is that worth for you

00:20:52.521 --> 00:20:55.281
to go to hell over. I mean, seriously, think about it.

00:20:55.501 --> 00:20:58.601
Your common sense would tell you, I need to forgive them.

00:20:58.861 --> 00:21:03.541
They're not worth me spending eternity in hell. And I'm talking to some of you who need to quit it.

00:21:03.721 --> 00:21:11.581
You need to let go of that intense deception, that conviction, despite the truth.

00:21:11.741 --> 00:21:15.281
Because the truth, you won't be able to argue against the truth when we see

00:21:15.281 --> 00:21:17.521
God. It's going to be all there. There's going to be no arguments.

00:21:17.741 --> 00:21:22.461
You can't present your case to the contrary, because it's all been already revealed.

00:21:22.641 --> 00:21:28.061
And what is one of the greatest tragedies of all time is this.

00:21:28.321 --> 00:21:32.481
If you, excuse me, when you stand before the Lord someday.

00:21:33.277 --> 00:21:36.277
And you realize, I've been lied to. Right.

00:21:36.497 --> 00:21:39.537
I've been lied to. It's too late. My pastor lied to me.

00:21:39.617 --> 00:21:44.817
My priest lied to me. My parents lied to me. My parents lied to me. My teachers lied to me.

00:21:45.277 --> 00:21:50.457
The media lied to me. But God is. There you are standing naked before God.

00:21:50.717 --> 00:21:54.557
And it's like, oh my, I've been lied to. Too late.

00:21:54.837 --> 00:21:57.497
But then it's too late. Can't even think about that.

00:21:57.857 --> 00:22:01.797
There's no chance to get back into the truth. There is a time.

00:22:01.797 --> 00:22:03.537
The truth is that you're done.

00:22:03.737 --> 00:22:06.317
There's a time where it's too late to turn back.

00:22:07.377 --> 00:22:12.137
But in verse 13, but now Paul is coming back to comfort the believers on the day of the Lord.

00:22:12.237 --> 00:22:15.817
And he says, but we are bound to give thanks to God always for you,

00:22:16.057 --> 00:22:18.197
brethren, beloved by the Lord.

00:22:18.417 --> 00:22:23.017
Because, listen to this, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation

00:22:23.017 --> 00:22:25.637
through sanctification by the Spirit on earth.

00:22:26.031 --> 00:22:31.571
And belief in the truth. Look at this. God chose us from the beginning.

00:22:31.731 --> 00:22:35.691
God chose us for deliverance, healing, salvation, to be part of his family.

00:22:35.851 --> 00:22:39.851
He chose us, but the question is, have we chosen him?

00:22:40.611 --> 00:22:44.551
Have we allowed? You see, this is a two-way thing. God will invite you to the

00:22:44.551 --> 00:22:49.011
wedding, but you have to return the invitation. You have to RSVP.

00:22:49.211 --> 00:22:54.411
You have to show You have to answer that call. And so God has prepared us to

00:22:54.411 --> 00:23:00.611
enter into the eternal glory through salvation, through the agreement that Jesus Christ,

00:23:00.951 --> 00:23:05.751
His blood shed on the cross, is full payment for your sins, and it's not about your works.

00:23:05.891 --> 00:23:11.531
And then through that salvation agreement, we enter into a process of sanctification

00:23:11.531 --> 00:23:15.311
by the working of the Holy Spirit, which leads us into all truth,

00:23:15.451 --> 00:23:18.231
which delivers us from unrighteousness, unholiness.

00:23:18.951 --> 00:23:22.551
And so we're not saved through the efforts of our own good works,

00:23:22.551 --> 00:23:26.791
but that is through our abiding, through our obedience, through the work of

00:23:26.791 --> 00:23:28.551
the Holy Spirit who reveals the truth.

00:23:28.731 --> 00:23:31.131
And the truth is the truth.

00:23:32.011 --> 00:23:36.611
The opposite of the delusion and deception is the truth of Jesus Christ. He said, I am the truth.

00:23:36.771 --> 00:23:41.951
He also said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. So the truth he reveals becomes the way.

00:23:42.191 --> 00:23:46.971
It becomes the path, the way to life eternal. So Jesus Christ,

00:23:47.211 --> 00:23:54.671
the truth, the truth is the way to deliverance, healing, and safe journeying home.

00:23:54.791 --> 00:23:58.811
When we believe in the truth, Jesus Christ himself is the way,

00:23:58.931 --> 00:24:00.311
is the truth, is the life.

00:24:00.611 --> 00:24:05.031
When we believe the truth, number one, the fruit of the Holy Spirit will be in our lives.

00:24:05.111 --> 00:24:08.631
Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, patience, gentleness, goodness.

00:24:09.631 --> 00:24:14.871
Meekness, temperance, faithfulness, self-control. All those things are going

00:24:14.871 --> 00:24:17.111
to be manifest in our lives when we believe the truth.

00:24:17.471 --> 00:24:20.511
And another thing about the truth is that there's perfect love,

00:24:21.091 --> 00:24:22.891
mature love, complete love.

00:24:23.071 --> 00:24:29.591
Perfect love casts out fear. So when we believe the truth, fear dissipates from our lives.

00:24:30.100 --> 00:24:33.820
And then along with that, there's a boldness. When you know the truth,

00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.600
the Bible says that the righteous are as bold as a lion.

00:24:37.820 --> 00:24:42.680
When you know the truth, there's that freedom of speech, what boldness means there.

00:24:43.040 --> 00:24:46.160
There's that confidence, that courage in the Lord to go forward.

00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:52.720
And then there will be, like you just read, Marjorie, there'll be the sanctification of the truth.

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.540
By the truth sets us apart. Sets us free.

00:24:57.120 --> 00:25:02.520
Free from death. Holiness means that we are excluded. exclusively to God's.

00:25:02.540 --> 00:25:05.560
He brought us by his blood and we're his.

00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:10.220
We belong to him and we're moving with him. Brought into the safety of the truth,

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:14.300
he says, to which he called you by our gospel, Paul's talking,

00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:19.200
for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren.

00:25:19.909 --> 00:25:22.629
Because you've been called, because you responded to the call,

00:25:23.129 --> 00:25:26.309
he says, stand fast. Don't give up. Don't faint.

00:25:26.829 --> 00:25:30.529
And hold fast the traditions which you have been taught by us,

00:25:30.769 --> 00:25:32.069
whether by word or by our gospel.

00:25:32.209 --> 00:25:35.749
There's many people that came, even in Paul's day, that messed up the gospel,

00:25:35.949 --> 00:25:41.429
smeared the lines that made it this or that and discredited the truth of the gospel.

00:25:41.629 --> 00:25:44.369
He says, but you hold it fast.

00:25:44.669 --> 00:25:48.469
Get back into the Bible. Let the Holy Spirit teach you. You know,

00:25:48.589 --> 00:25:53.309
let go of, you know, so many of you listen to podcasts and evangelists and prophets

00:25:53.309 --> 00:25:55.869
and here and there and everywhere. And it's like overwhelming.

00:25:56.249 --> 00:26:00.429
Be quiet. Open your Bible back up and let the Holy Spirit just read you.

00:26:00.489 --> 00:26:08.449
Just shed all that indoctrination, that hype, that whatever lies that look like the truth.

00:26:08.449 --> 00:26:14.149
And let our Lord Jesus Christ himself, the Father, the God, and the God of glory,

00:26:14.309 --> 00:26:20.749
who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and hope by grace, comfort your heart.

00:26:20.869 --> 00:26:25.309
We need comfort right now and establish you in every good word and work.

00:26:25.529 --> 00:26:28.709
We need the strengthening, the comfort, the direction,

00:26:29.069 --> 00:26:34.469
the assurance, the protection of the Holy Spirit right now more than anyone

00:26:34.469 --> 00:26:43.329
ever in the history of mankind because we are at the final stages of the last act of this great drama.

00:26:44.329 --> 00:26:48.409
Talk about the last act here in Revelation 22.11.

00:26:49.140 --> 00:26:53.880
This is the time that's coming. There is a division. There always has been a

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:55.520
division between truth and error.

00:26:55.860 --> 00:26:59.620
Even though man, through our philosophy and through our disease,

00:26:59.800 --> 00:27:02.040
we blur the lines between truth and error.

00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:08.280
We're gray. We got 50 shades of gray instead of black and white and color, living color.

00:27:09.060 --> 00:27:13.700
Revelation 22, 11. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still.

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:17.160
He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous,

00:27:17.280 --> 00:27:18.340
let him be righteous still.

00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:23.500
He who is holy, let him be holy still. So the time is coming.

00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.380
The choices have to be made. And you are going to be the one.

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:27.760
Where there's a point of no return.

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:32.280
Yes, that. But there's also right now, you are still alive. You're hearing this.

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:34.220
You have friends who need to hear this.

00:27:34.620 --> 00:27:38.260
Pray for them. Pray that the shackles will be taken off their ankles and the

00:27:38.260 --> 00:27:41.780
blindfolders off their eyes and the witchcraft from out of their heart.

00:27:42.040 --> 00:27:47.120
Because this is critical. I mean, you know, it's not good even that one soul

00:27:47.120 --> 00:27:53.300
would perish. God is not willing that any should perish, but God has made this a free will deal.

00:27:53.540 --> 00:27:55.640
I mean, you and I get to decide.

00:27:56.320 --> 00:28:00.820
So many have, you might have to repent and change your mind.

00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.480
You may have to confess that you got lied to.

00:28:03.760 --> 00:28:07.480
You may have to turn around. You may have to realize you're going the wrong

00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:10.800
direction. You may have to realize you've been on the wrong side for too long.

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:16.260
Humble yourself, you know, your pride, the pride of Satan. I don't want to admit

00:28:16.260 --> 00:28:19.120
I'm wrong. that's not worth going to hell over either.

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:22.940
Humble yourself. Say, God, forgive me.

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.800
Forgive me for believing these lies. Forgive me for being arrogant.

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:28.840
Forgive me for not repenting.

00:28:29.780 --> 00:28:35.280
Confess your faults. I think the worst sin, the most prevalent thing that Satan

00:28:35.280 --> 00:28:39.280
has done to us is lie because he is the father of lies.

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:45.580
And so, but he makes his lies look so good at the time that he's tempting us to believe them.

00:28:46.169 --> 00:28:51.249
Get away from everything that's lying to you. Everyone and everything that's

00:28:51.249 --> 00:28:54.389
just filling you with lies, avoid that.

00:28:55.349 --> 00:29:00.049
Immerse yourself in the truth. And the thing is, once you're immersed in the

00:29:00.049 --> 00:29:05.389
truth of God, God's Word, you're going to be able to discern what's true and what's false.

00:29:05.409 --> 00:29:08.489
The Holy Spirit is there to help us. We're not without a guide here.

00:29:08.689 --> 00:29:12.849
The Holy Spirit has been sent to live right inside of us. So receive the revelation

00:29:12.849 --> 00:29:14.589
of the truth as he gives it to us,

00:29:14.589 --> 00:29:19.809
and we bind every false Jesus and false antichrist and false Holy Spirit and

00:29:19.809 --> 00:29:24.209
all these other false prophet lying spirits that go through our minds and hearts.

00:29:24.289 --> 00:29:28.369
We rebuke them all, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, who has given us power

00:29:28.369 --> 00:29:32.389
and authority over just tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.

00:29:32.509 --> 00:29:36.689
So we rebuke these lying spirits from your people and from those who are on

00:29:36.689 --> 00:29:39.729
the fringes right now who can't quite make up their mind.

00:29:40.009 --> 00:29:46.029
I pray that somehow, Lord God, You would send some situation to tuck them into

00:29:46.029 --> 00:29:48.149
the truth, pull them into the truth,

00:29:48.609 --> 00:29:53.469
get them in the safety zone, Father God, of eternal life, and remove,

00:29:53.789 --> 00:29:57.449
expose these delusions that we aren't chasing after a man.

00:29:57.589 --> 00:30:01.869
We're not chasing after a temporary solution or to make this world great again.

00:30:01.869 --> 00:30:05.909
This world is going to be brought to its knees, all of them,

00:30:06.109 --> 00:30:13.549
every nation, every person. and some of us will report to the table of God, will be part of heaven.

00:30:14.275 --> 00:30:19.495
We want that to be all. So, Father God, we pray right now for the mercy of God

00:30:19.495 --> 00:30:26.355
to draw your people, draw those who are still out on the outskirts, on the edges, not yet in,

00:30:26.695 --> 00:30:32.695
draw them into the power of your love and your truth by the power of your love

00:30:32.695 --> 00:30:36.595
and truth, by your Holy Spirit, because you're not willing that any should perish.

00:30:36.735 --> 00:30:42.315
So, Father, give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to turn from wickedness

00:30:42.315 --> 00:30:45.075
into the truth of your righteousness. Thank you, Jesus.

00:30:45.975 --> 00:30:53.095
There's a wonderful tool that can help you discern between good and evil, truth and lies.

00:30:53.295 --> 00:30:56.055
And there's a book that's out there.

00:30:56.415 --> 00:31:00.295
It's called Spiritual Warfare and How Deliverance Can Change Your Life.

00:31:00.695 --> 00:31:04.655
And by the way, oh, my, that's by Marjorie Cole. You wrote that,

00:31:04.735 --> 00:31:08.435
honey, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. As if you didn't know.

00:31:08.935 --> 00:31:13.375
Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Yes, at Amazon.com or LifeRecovery.com.

00:31:14.035 --> 00:31:18.475
Get your tools, get your weapons so that you'll know how to stand and having done all to stand.

00:31:19.075 --> 00:31:22.635
Also, just want to make a quick announcement for those who live locally or within

00:31:22.635 --> 00:31:23.735
a couple states from here.

00:31:24.321 --> 00:31:29.601
We're having our second of the year Setting Captives Free Intensive starting

00:31:29.601 --> 00:31:32.781
November 30th, and that will run through the 6th of December.

00:31:32.941 --> 00:31:37.821
It's a six-day intensive up in the Northwood Salvation Army Camp in northern Minnesota.

00:31:38.101 --> 00:31:43.061
And if you are interested in joining us on that and can't find information out

00:31:43.061 --> 00:31:47.361
there because sometimes it gets buried, call us. Use this number.

00:31:49.061 --> 00:31:55.821
612-618-5947. Again, 612-618-5947.

00:31:56.061 --> 00:31:59.601
Yeah, we'd love to have you join us. And what is this? This is a six-day intensive

00:31:59.601 --> 00:32:02.921
to help us get back the things that have been stolen from us,

00:32:03.161 --> 00:32:06.881
get set free from the torment, the trauma, the lies, the bindings,

00:32:07.161 --> 00:32:10.581
and find and recover our lives, the love of Jesus,

00:32:10.981 --> 00:32:15.261
the power of His Word, and get set free from demonic influences and oppression.

00:32:15.721 --> 00:32:20.241
Also, to have great fellowship, great food, wonderful worship,

00:32:20.241 --> 00:32:25.021
and just an incredible rebuilding and resetting of your life.

00:32:25.281 --> 00:32:29.841
So this isn't just for people who are addicted. This is for everyone.

00:32:30.041 --> 00:32:34.741
This is for anyone. Whether you have torment with a mental illness or with schizophrenia

00:32:34.741 --> 00:32:40.161
or just want to learn more about God and love Jesus already, you're welcome to come.

00:32:40.321 --> 00:32:43.301
And so check it out again. That's Setting the Captives Free.

00:32:43.621 --> 00:32:48.881
That's starting November 30th through December 6th. You can squeeze that in

00:32:48.881 --> 00:32:53.001
between Thanksgiving and Christmas really easily, and it's very reasonable.

00:32:53.401 --> 00:32:58.281
$300 is all it costs you for six days of fellowship intensive.

00:32:59.461 --> 00:33:04.901
Yeah, that covers the seminar, the food, and lodging. Yeah, yeah.

00:33:05.281 --> 00:33:08.121
It's a beautiful setting up there in the Northwest. Yeah, it'll refresh you.

00:33:08.261 --> 00:33:11.941
So, it's a good treat. You give it to yourself. So, again, God bless you.
