”Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;“
1 Timothy 4:1-2 KJV
Paul clearly cautions Timothy to discern false doctrines, demonic prophecies and seducing spirits. “The Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed: At the end of this age, many will depart from the true faith one after another, devoting themselves to spirits of deception and following demon-inspired revelations and theories. Hypocritical liars will deceive many, and their consciences won’t bother them at all!“. The Holy Spirit makes this warning publicly to the Church through prophetic utterances. Even today the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit is available through gifts of prophecy, tongues and interpretation of tongues, and in many other forms and the maturity in wisdom and understanding will guide believers to avoid deceiving prophecies. People with false appearances and deceiving motives will seduce many into falling away from faith in Christ. All believers are to abide in the Vine and to let the Word dwell richly in our hearts to establish us in our faith. Let’s have a lifestyle of thanksgiving, testimonies and worship, maturing in our faith by being led by the Holy Spirit. Amen!
