Satan cannot deceive His people. We are in the waiting. We can over come Satan not from our won strength but by strength of God as we don't have any power to overcome the enemy by our own self. Satan can use Bible verses. Condemnation is from Satan and not from God. Conviction is from God. Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. Revelation 20:8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. =>talking about the Church If we hold on to the truth we are in winning side. We are in victory with Christ. Wear the armor of God. And hold on to the word of God, to abide in God so we will bear much fruit. The fruits are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and faithfulness. We should not be easily angered... Pray for your enemy. Romans 8:17 Now...

What are the lessons in this chapter? We need to be careful as the enemy will introduce popular religion that can entice so many members. We need to have the spiritual discernment of what is the right teaching and wrong. And study God's word. Have the devotion. Jeremiah 31:31 "The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon was a gold cup in the LORD's hand; she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore they have now gone mad.

River Euphrates - Great divider from east and west came from mountain, source of life for Babylonians but in Revelation God will dried up this river as prophesy in. . . Jeremiah 50:38-40 God is love as well as the righteous God. He is the same in the old and new testament. As Christians we know that we are children of God and the world are under the control of the evil one but greater is He who is within you than that in the world. Revelation 17:14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed." God will come like a thief without permission and be prepared, as in the end times, most people will defile thier faith. They will condemned God. How can we prepare ourselves?...

When an athlete run without preparation for example stretching and warm up exercise he/she will end up hurting his/her body. And so, this is also the same with our walk with the Lord. We must continue to stretch and do the warm up exercise in order to win the race (our Christian walk). Continue the relationship with God even in the midst of tribulation. As in the end we will be with Jesus Christ forever. In the context at Revelation 14:3-4 3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. The 144,000 are the Isrealites. The Lamb is Jesus Christ. Mt.
