4. He masquerades in costumes of light and righteousness.

In 2 Corinthians 11:13–15, Paul says that some people are posing as apostles who are not. He explains like this: “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.”

4. NEED FOR DISCERNMENT

- SATAN MASQUARADES AS THE MESSENGER.

- THE CHURCH WILL HAVE SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT

- LIES IN THEOLOGY… AND CHURCH BELIEFS… BE EXPOSED

- MANY WOLVES AMONG SHEEP BE IDENTIFIED AND EXPOSED

- PEOPLE WITH THE ABILITY TO STAND UP... CONFRONT... ARISE

- WELL LEARNED BELIEVERS NEEDED … TO CALL OUT THE LIE

- PEOPLE WILLING TOP PAY THE PRICE FOR THE TRUTH…

5. Satan does signs and wonders.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:9, the last days are described like this: “The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power, with FALSE signs and wonders.”

5. MATURITY TO SEE THROUGH THE LIE

- WILL NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP OF COUNTERFEIT SIGNS AND WONDERS

- CHRISTIANITY WILL NOT LOOK POWERLESS….DEVOID OF SUPERNATURAL

- PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY FALLEN

- PROTECT BELIEVERS FROM FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS

- THERE IS A BIG REVIVAL GOING ON AMONG MORMONS /J W / CULTS

- PEOPLE TO DISCERN SATANS AGENTS

- THE PRESENT CHURCH IS A SITTING DUCK …SPIRITUALLY…

6. INNEFFECTIVE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

- HEARTS OF PEOPLE WHO HEAR THE WORD TO BE PREPARED.(30/60/100)

- DEAD PREACHING IN MANY CHURCHES … word not sown well

- PRAY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE HEARD THE WORD FOR YEARS.

- PREACHING AND HEARING HAS BECOME A RITUAL.

- WAYS AND MEANS SATAN USES TO NULLIFY THE WORD.

- THE PEOPLE WHO SATAN HAS CONVINCED TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE…

7. Satan causes some sickness and disease.

- (Luke 13:16). Jesus saw Satan as the one who healed the bent women.

- “Ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
