Fantasy is More Enticing
Since we are living in a world that views fantasy as much more acceptable than reality, we will see people being easily manipulated by demonic forces. The world is racing toward acceptance of the anti-christ.
Those who claim to have been abducted by aliens from outer space really have been there in their minds. They were taken, they were terrified and they had no doubt that all of it was real.
But what they don't know is that devils can manipulate minds so dramatically that the illusion is just as real as if the event actually occurred.
When someone on LSD goes into a bad trip, thinking spiders are crawling all over them. They can see the spiders, the person feels the bites of the spiders but the person cannot brush them off. Nothing they do makes the spiders go away. The person who is on these drugs have no control, they cannot stop anything that is happening, and yet nothing is really happening.
Devils have the ability to place thoughts in minds so vividly that the sensation of having been there or done that, is a memory as real as any other event that took place in their lives.
This is why so many people are becoming irrational in their thinking. The devils are convincing people that they can choose their gender, when anyone with a modicum of thinking ability would know how easy it is to discover ones own gender identity. Just taking a quick look is sufficient for those who are rational.
Many are convinced that angels impregnated human beings. The scripture is twisted and added to, to make the Bible fit with the desired belief. This thinking will allow people to believe that God isn't the only one who can make a virgin pregnant. It also prepares people for the acceptance of demonic miracles.
Every false belief that comes forth will be an attempt on the part of the devils to diminish God. Their aim is to get people to believe anything that will disprove the existence of God. Or even worse, call God a liar as the devil did in the Garden.
One must know the Word of God and depend on the Holy Spirit to guide them as their defense against these evil deceptions.
Matthew 24:23-24 "…23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible."

"Clergy and Leity" are not Biblical Terms
When Martin Luther, Calvin and others who opposed and left the Catholic church, they also took with them into the protestant church, their Catholic beliefs.
They were locked into the idea of "clergy and leity", as well as infant baptism. The holidays were still upheld even though they were not Biblical. The Lord's supper was relegated to once a month or once a year, when Christ commanded us to observe it whenever we come together. The Lord's supper is the worship time, it has been neglected in our modern church.
So many of the Protestant and Evangelical practices come out of Catholicism but the people in these systems don't know it. Because they don't study their Bibles and merely believe all that is fed to them, they defend what they don't know .
The vestments that the Lutherans wear, comes right out of Catholicism, separating the people from the "elite clergy", is not Biblical, its only man's tradition that has come down from Catholicism.

Be Patient, These Things Take Time!
There are those who are upset that the border wall between Mexico and the United States is not yet built. I have to laugh at this, do people actually think there is going to be an instant wall made of concrete in a few months? Really?
There are huge mountains and canyons that have to be crossed with this wall, the challenges are enormous.
Maybe their just not finished! "Big beautiful walls" take time to design and then build. Trump has not been in an entire term yet, there hasn't been enough time to build a wall.
Looking at the terrain for a thousand miles on the border tells me it would be a huge challenge to build a wall, there must be engineering design involved. Do people actually think its going to take a couple of years to build. It takes years. Also it makes sense that the dangerous areas wouldn't even need a fence, just a fence up to those places.
The great wall of China took more than 200 years to build, its about a thousand miles long. So to think that a border over a thousand mile long can be thrown up in a few months is child like thinking.
A big beautiful wall takes many decades to build. The design of it takes years alone, then comes the challenges of construction.
I don't know if that wall will be built, but I know it will take a long time for the design let alone the actual construction. Some of that land along the border is private land, they may have to get permission, that takes time too.
Patience is not a virtue of the American people anymore. We are so "fast food" oriented culture that expects things to happen quickly. To expect a wall to be built in one presidents administration or even two administrations is silly at best.
Even if Trump were able to begin the wall, which is unlikely, since design work often takes years before the building can start, those that come after him would have to be on board with the building also.
Just because someone says they are going to built the wall, does not mean that it will get done. Those who come next can and probably will thwart the process. I don't think our president is a stupid man, he knows that things don't get built that quickly. He also knows that he can promise something, claim it will be done and blame others when it doesn't happen.
Trump can work toward the building of the wall, but most likely knows that those that come after him will not finish it. He has been in business all his life, he knows how these things work.
We don't even know if there is a contract with designers and builders right now. Or at least I don't know. Does anyone else?

The Proceedings in the True Church
When the pastor is paid and educated in a human school instead of led by the Holy Spirit, they often take on an authority that does not belong to them, the dictating and micromanaging of things that are not Biblical.
The people in the pews allow the preachers to be their spirituality for them, they become lazy and indifferent as long as someone else is paid to do the "job". Sadly this is unBiblical and leads to chaos and false doctrine.
In the New Testament gathering the men were commanded by God to question the preacher right then and there so the congregation could see the correction. Every man had the authority to speak out during the preaching. All men took turns leading and preaching.
1 Corinthians 13:29-33 "29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. 30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 33 for God is not a God of confusion but of [m]peace, as in all the churches of the saints."
When the Holy Spirit leads it is a beautiful thing!
The Lord's supper is the worship time taught in the Bible. One man asks for a song, another speaks from the word, another corrects or adds to the speaker who is preaching. Everything is orderly because it is all led by the Holy Spirit.
The teaching follows the Lord's supper worship, led by a man who was chosen to speak that week. No one man is ever in charge of all preaching or has all authority.
I have seen this in gatherings we were in and it was truly beautiful to see all the men participating in the leading. No one was paid, it was not a job to any of the men, but a calling by God. No one had greater authority over another, but all spoke truth as needed.
In gatherings where there are paid pastors there is overreach. Rather than leading by example and preaching as the Word commands, the preachers make rules that are not Biblical to keep their position secure.
I actually heard a young pastor say, "I protect my pulpit", they are taught this nonsense in Bible college. The pulpit does not belong to one man, nor is it Biblical for one man to have that much power over others.
We must drop the title "Pastor whoever", it elevates one man above the others, often abuse comes from this special class of people. There is no such thing as "leity" or "clergy" described in the Bible. Those terms come from the Catholic concept of hierarchy that is not Biblical.
I challenge every believer to study out the role of the pastors called by God to lead in the church, you might find it enlightening. The modern idea of church and leadership comes straight out of Catholicism. It tends to make gods out of the leaders rather than mere men led by the Holy Spirit.
So many people will believe whatever the man in the pulpit says without questioning and even becoming angry when someone else calls them to account. When someone becomes angry because we have challenged a doctrine, that is the first clue they angry one has an idol in their life, that idol being the man in the pulpit.
Psalm 118:8
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."
Jeremiah 17:5
"Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord."
2 Timothy 3:13-17
"While evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."
