Good day my families and friends. The deception of the devil will not draw us from God's presence. This brings me to the issue. Lets read together. God bless us all Amen.

Nobody likes to admit that he has been conned.. But your Bible warns that Satan wants to con you out of your most precious possession. Do you recognize Satan's greatest deceptions - and how you can avoid them?

Our world is filled with con artists, liars and thieves, who seek to defraud us. But the Bible warns us about the greatest deceiver of all - Satan the Devil. Are you aware of his tactics? Are you prepared to avoid his schemes, or could you fall victim to his deceptions?

We have all heard stories about crooked salesmen who do their best to defraud senior citizens and rob them of their life's savings. We know about corrupt businessmen who use false accounting to cheat investors and avoid taxes. You may have experienced thieves breaking into your home and robbing you of your possessions.

But did you know that there is a thief who wants to rob you of the most valuable possession of all - your eternal life and your future as a child of God? This thief works through deceptive practices, from selfish vanity, to pride, to dangerous occultism, seeking to turn people away from the truth and from the way of life that will bring true happiness - God's way.

Your Bible warns of a great spirit war that will take place in the future. Actually in the very near future. Many reading this article will be alive during that traumatic time. But notice this amazing statement: "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him" (Revelation 12:9).

Read that carefully. Satan, the devil, deceives the whole world! That means the people of every nation. That means you and me. I have been deceived. You have been deceived. But, thankfully, God calls us out of this world's deception, through the true Jesus Christ of the Bible!

Do you think that because you are a religious person, you cannot be deceived? Jesus revealed that one of the most pervasive forms of deception is found in religious practice. And the Bible reveals who is behind many religious deceptions. Do you know who? The Apostle Paul warns the Corinthians against false ministers: "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works" (2 Corinthians 11:13–15).

Yes, Satan has many strategies, schemes, and devices to deceive us. Some unknowingly worship him as an "angel of light" while others look to him through séances, tarot cards, channeling and astrology. Millions of people dabble in the occult and seek answers from soothsayers and mystics. These dark practices are deceptive, and most who call themselves Christians can recognize blatant Satanic influence. But Satan also has many other more subtle schemes.

The Apostle Paul, encouraging forgiveness for a repentant sinner, went on to say, "lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Corinthians 2:11). Or, as the NIV puts it: "For we are not unaware of his schemes."

How can you tell the difference between truth and error? The Bible gives us the answers. Jesus prayed, concerning His disciples, "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth" (John 17:17). Yes, the word of God, the Bible, is truth! Yet Satan can even deceive religious people. He often appears deceptively as an angel of light. He uses counterfeit ministers who appear genuine, but are actually fraudulent deceivers.

As Christians, we need to be aware of Satan's schemes, or devices. In this article, we briefly discuss seven of his most serious deceptions, which he uses to ruin people and draw them away from God. But no matter what you will never be won by the devil. Jesus paid it all for Us At the Cross! You have the reason to stand and declare I am savde by the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen. God Bless us all!
