 Camouflaged Deception Practices.

In view of many recent threads warning of deception, Bentley in Florida for example, I pondered some things about the devil and his workers deceptive tactics. We can see these examples of deception in the Word of God. The deceiver will always attempt to make things appear in a way different than what they really are. The devil will use diversionary tactics or draw ones attention to or from another area, just as a magician would do when he performs his tricks. He will always appear as if he is making an attempt in bringing peace and Godliness when he is scheming to deceive and his goal is just the opposite of peace and truth. Timing is very important in the devil’s attempts to deceive. This is true in the scriptures and he hasn’t changed. He still at work today to deceive and render God’s people ineffective as salt and light and as a voice for righteousness sake, as God’s children.

Matt 9:11
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
KJV

Mark 2:24
24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
KJV

Matt 9:34-35
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
KJV

Now do you think this was the first time the Pharisees had seen Jesus around sinners and seen any of the rest of this? I don’t think so. The devil waits for the opportune time. Timing is one of the devils games.


Luke 4:12-13
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'"
13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an [b]opportune time. [/b]

People that are attempting to bring deception do not want to blow their cover. If they blow there cover it will render them ineffective towards deceiving people, so don’t ever expect the devil to show his cards but appear to be something that he is not. The Bible God’s Word and the Holy Spirit living within us are the only tools we have to protect us and warn others. We can’t warn others if we are deceived ourselves. Beware.

 Re: Camouflaged Deception Practices.

WE are warned not to be ignorant of Satan and
his schemes and wiles. He is still the Father
of lies and the accuser of the brethren. The
only thing he can offer is a cheap counterfeit
for those who are seeking something new and
different and following after the "experience"
of signs and so-called miracles instead of
seeking the one true and living Saviour!!
