Deception is one of the chief operating spirits in the last days that is taking many people captive. The kingdom of hell loves the idea of people going through the motions of Christianity including speaking the proper language but being deceived into thinking that Christianity does not require a holy lifestyle. When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of His coming the first sign He gave was a major warning of deception that would be extremely prevalent in the last days. The most frightening part about the last days is that you could be getting deceived through doctrines of demons that are even being preached in the local church.

The reality is that we live in an hour where many are giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. The enemy wants to persuade the church of the Lord Jesus Christ into believing that the signs of the times that are becoming so horrific in the last days are going to give way to a powerless church. This is truly a lie from the pit of hell. If we will allow our lives to be filled with the Holy Spirit we will surely see the rise of a powerful endtime church. Signs of the times are certainly upon us but we have a promise that God is going to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh in the last days.

The time is now for the body of Christ to walk in the miraculous power of God. Many in the last few days are wondering if the God of miracles, signs, and wonders is still moving across the earth. Every blood-bought believer who allows the Holy Spirit to work through their lives is a carrier of the miraculous power of God.

The time is now for every blood-bought believer in Jesus Christ to check the spiritual lamps of their lives and make sure they have the oil of the Holy Spirit inside of them so that they are found burning and ready in the last days. We must live our lives full of the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we are called to be the light of the World and a city on a hill. Let’s look at the parable of the 10 virgins and how a Jewish wedding prophetically parallels the Bridegroom and the bride of Christ.

God is raising up an army of believers in the last days who are contending for authentic revival fire that is not defined by their feelings but from a place of knowing who their God is. Revival fire is not an idea, an event you attended, a spiritual buzzword, or a social media flyer. Revival fire is revealed through a person named Jesus Christ who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Many people are under the deceptive impression of the enemy that their feelings somehow determine the presence of God and as soon as the feeling wears off God is non-existent in the atmosphere. Every believer must engage in a relentless pursuit of God that is biblically sound and not emotionally driven.

We live in an hour where many are giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. The enemy plans to cause people to drift away from their walk with God neglecting their salvation. For the rest of your life, you are going to find yourself in situations where there are going to be people who are influenced by the devil and want you to drift from the things of God. Allow me to give you six safeguards that will keep you from drifting in your relationship with Jesus Christ.

In every generation, God will raise up an army of believers in Jesus Christ that will establish His kingdom on the earth. The establishment of His kingdom requires that you face the battle to build. As we look at Lessons from Nehemiah we will find that there are at least 5 preparations for building and 7 oppositions that will come once you begin the building process.

God is raising a generation that is clothed with power from on high. He never desired His people to attempt to accomplish the task of advancing His kingdom on the earth without power. It is frightening to consider how many people are going through the motions of Christianity living powerless lives as they hope to advance the Kingdom of God. The truth is that Jesus died on the cross, rose from the dead, and sent back His promised Holy Spirit to clothe His people in power to do exploits for His Kingdom.
