ANTI-CHRIST SPIRIT
Mocks and scoffs at the belief in Creation by a Sovereign Creator!
Doesn’t acknowledge the Lord or glorify Him!
Does brain-washing on the media & in the schools opposing God!
Deception & lies!
LACK OF the DUE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OUR CREATOR BRINGS JUDGMENT
Romans 1:20,25 – For since the CREATION of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,… who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the CREATURE rather than the CREATOR, who is blessed forever.

PSALM 100
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is HE WHO HAS MADE US, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.

and His truth endures to all generations.
PSALM 145
I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever.2 Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever.3 GREAT IS THE LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE. 4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. 5 I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your MAJESTY, and on Your wondrous works. 6 Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. 7 They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. 8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all HIS WORKS. 10 All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your saints shall bless You.11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power, 12 To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food in due season. 16 You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. 17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works. 20 The Lord preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and all flesh shall bless His holy name
forever and ever.
DECEPTION WARNINGS
Many don’t realize that the evolutionary theory, which is being taught as actual scientific fact in many schools was once banned and against the law in many places in the U.S.
DARWIN
Many don’t know that Darwin himself, the originator of the evolutionary theory – was UNCERTAIN ABOUT IT himself…
BELIEVING IN GOD… AND EVOLUTION?
A new false movement is encouraging CHRISTIAN Colleges to embrace the teaching of EVOLUTION, and some of their professors, are trying to defend the teaching of evolution!
Lies & the truth are not compatible! What fellowship has light with darkness…? (2 Corinthians 6:14)
In many Universities and Colleges many students are losing their faith and becoming ATHEISTS!
TESTIMONY OF A UNIVERSITY STUDENT
Gina’s story — https://www.facebook.com/127225910653607/posts/3690119064364256/?sfnsn=mo
She was raised in a Christian family. She was an excellent student, with noble ambitions for her life.
When she went to Harvard University —“Higher education kinda destroyed me”. “It little by little took away all the layers that gave me grounding (her FOUNDATIONS) and meaning and gave me an entirely new viewpoint on the world…
“ I came out of Harvard not only as an atheist, but I was angry. I hated America & wanted to leave” – (moved to Australia) “I had abandoned all the things that were most meaningful to me and I felt so empty.” “I kept denouncing all the things that I had held dear in my life before and I spent a long time looking for and happiness in all the wrong places. I was partying a lot and doing a lot of drugs.. It was a rough time.”
Then she was in an accident, and came back home.
She was a media writer. She came to realize “I am being lied to by the media… I realized that a lot of the things that I was taught, a lot of the things I was producing as a writer, were blatantly FALSE and a complete LIE.
As she looked back at all of her experiences of chaos, & turmoil and inner struggle she said – “I hope that my story can really inspire young women to take the narrow path and not be seduced by the lifestyle that is pushed today in mainstream media, & is pushed by our culture and our society…”
PERILS AND DECEPTION
2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days PERILOUS times (VERY DANGEROUS times) will come:…
Matthew 24:4,11-12,23-24 – And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one DECEIVES you… many false prophets will rise up and DECEIVE many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold…false christ’s and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to DECEIVE, if possible, even the elect.
THERE ARE many deceivers
2 John 1:7 – For many DECEIVERS have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a DECEIVER and an ANTICHRIST.
LIES (a strategy promoted by the current ‘Speaker of the House’ in the U.S. on a youtube video… we are praying that she will be removed soon, and that truth will prevail!)
”You demonize and then you do the wrap-up smear… you smear somebody with FALSEHOODS and all the rest & then you merchandize it and then you write it and they say, “see it’s reported in the press… this this this… so they have that validation that the press reported it… The smear that we made.. And then we’re going to merchandize it… it’s a TACTIC!”
DEVILISH STRATEGY
1) Demonize your political opponent by telling the public LIES about them! 2)The press reports the LIES as if they were true. 3)You use the press reports as validation that your LIES are true.
“TRUTHIFICATION” or “Truth-fiction”
Making fiction seem like truth and truth seem like fiction!
THE DEVIL IS A DECEIVER
Revelation 12:9 – …the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who DECEIVES the whole world; …
OUR CREATOR IS IN CONTROL of the times
Revelation 10:6 – …and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who CREATED HEAVEN and the things that are in it, THE EARTH and the things that are in it, and THE SEA and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
Psalm 31:15 – My TIMES ARE IN YOUR HANDS…
remember your creator
Ecclesiastes 12:1 – Remember now your CREATOR in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:…!
