The Separation By A Strong Delusion

Years ago, as I was attending a Pentecostal Church in Los Angeles, California, we heard many rumors and testimonies. That certain Christians had sold their possessions and went to an island to meet their coming Savior. Others left their country and moved to South Arabia to meet their coming Savior. Others committed suicide with their children to meet their coming Savior. Others were preparing for a secret rapture that would come suddenly. Others predicted the Second Coming, and gathered together, and so on…

When we heard that, we prayed to God in tears for those poor brothers and sisters who were deceived by their “leaders.” And I was so despaired, crying to God:

“Oh God, why has this happened to Your people? Why? Why?”

For I could not understand it:

“How, God, can You let this be so?”

Nevertheless, one day as I drove my vehicle from work, there was heavy traffic on Interstate 5. I decided to search on my car radio for a Christian station, and I tuned in to a very noble and popular show called To Every Man an Answer.

As I listened to the broadcast, many people throughout the USA and Canada asked him Biblical questions, seeking Biblical answers from him — but he was lying to them. Then I turned off the radio and began crying to God:

“Oh, Lord God Almighty! Oh, Lord God Almighty! How can You let this deceiver deceive Your people?”

Then the hand of God fell upon me, and I heard His voice speaking to me:

“MY PEOPLE CANNOT BE DECEIVED!”

As I wept before Him, He opened my eyes and caused me to understand the Holy Scripture:

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

Then I knew that those who were “deceived” were not His people.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith.”

In 1998, we moved from California to Virginia. When we began to attend Pentecostal churches there, I heard even worse deceptions. The hand of God fell upon me again, and I heard His voice saying:

“Because these people have no love of the Truth, but have pleasure in iniquity, I shall send upon them the Spirit of Strong Delusion, that they shall believe in lies, and so perish!”

This is why I left them, for they are not His people.

Yea, you can fight with me. Yea, you can fight with devils. But you cannot fight with God. If He has sent upon you the Spirit of Strong Delusion, then it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith.” Amen!

The Riddle for the Wise and Fools:

“THERE IS NO PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE.” Amen.

“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
If any man have an ear, let him hear.”
