Spiritual Deception

Jesus warned that deception would grow worse as we draw nearer to the end times, saying, "Take heed that no one deceives you" (Matthew 24:4). Distinguishing truth from error has become an increasingly challenging task—even in the church. We live in a time when falsehoods assault us from every direction. Packaged with just enough truth to make them appear trustworthy, these counterfeits have grown more and more difficult to detect and avoid. Living in the Daze of Deception explores the many ways error is masquerading as truth—and how you can discern the difference.

We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Another Gospel? author Alisa Childers invites you to examine modern lies that are disguised as truths in today’s culture. Everyday messages of peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl around social media. On the surface, they seem like sentiments of freedom and hope, but in reality, they are deeply deceptive.

"The whole armor of God" that worked so effectively for these early believers is the very same set of spiritual armor worn by the Church of Jesus Christ today. Just as these early Christians were fully equipped with the whole armor of God for the troubles of their day, we also have the whole armor of God to live victoriously for Jesus Christ during our day. And this armor still works just as effectively as it did then! Each element of God's spiritual armor are still vital, effective, and powerful weapons for the Body of Christ today.

There is a new self-awareness taking place as people are starting to find their spiritual identities. As exciting as this sounds, and it really is wonderful, there are many pitfalls and cul-de-sacs along the 'New Age' path to be very wary of. This spiritual awakening is something that the 'powers that shouldn't be' have been aware of for many years, and the architects of the current system we live under know that if we figure this out then we are a lot more than just worker bees for the system than it threatens their own power.

The gift of salvation was freely given to us, but although both Joscelyn Báez and Saba Tekle grew up in Christian households, they were exposed to New Age spiritual healing practices that almost cost them their souls and minds.

Conflicts are part of life. Strong conflicts become battles. Conflicts and battles in our lives may not be spiritual warfare. There are six main areas of your life where you may have battles and conflict, but they are not spiritual warfare. These require a different strategy. So before engaging in spiritual warfare, one must look at these areas to see if they are the root of conflict. It is tempting to find something to blame for our struggles.

Join Andy Stanley for Twisting the Truth, a six-session small-group bible study developed to help you and your group understand how truth can get twisted and distorted, and how that impacts your life. Throughout the study, Stanley exposes four destructive and all-too-prevalent lies about authority, pain, sex, and sin. They’re deceptions powerful enough to ruin our relationships, our lives, even our eternities - but only if we let them.

We all face temptations that entice us to curate our own satisfaction and fulfillment. But the Bible warns us each one is a trap set to make us prey to the predator of sin. So how do we prepare ourselves for this conflict? Jesus shows us the way when he travels into the desert to confront three universal human temptations: turning stones to bread, seizing the kingdoms of the world, and jumping from the temple. Our walk with Jesus takes us on a journey deep into the desert so we can learn to recognize the ongoing voice of temptation and resist the echoes of deception.
