Satan is a good counterfeiter

We know that satan is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). He is a counterfeiter, never having created anything himself, but only copying and perverting what God has made. Satan promotes a counterfeit gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:3, 4), raises up counterfeit ministers (2 Corinthians 11:13-15), perverts doctrine into a counterfeit doctrine (2 Timothy 4:3-4, Galatians 1:6-7), even has a counterfeit communion table (1 Corinthians 10:19-21), has a counterfeit power of lying signs, wonders and miracles (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10), even promotes a counterfeit messiah (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4).

Our loving God gave us the grace to follow Him. I sincerely pray you have praised Him for that grace. The best way to see through counterfeit gospels, gods, doctrines, activities, and commandments, are to know the real ones through and through. Read the Bible each day, practice memorizing scriptures. Pray deeply in your walk with the Lord, not just quickie hello prayers or “I want” prayers seeking things from Him, but giving Him your worship and devotion. Seek His face. If you possess the REAL Spirit, sealed inside you, not the fake belief that leads to destruction in the Lake of Fire, you will be able to spot the counterfeit when it comes along. And it will!

Maybe you thought you were actively pursuing Jesus this past year, but when you reflect on these questions, you realize you lost sight of him in the busyness and messiness of life.If thi

    The Emotional Toll of Abortions on Fathers - Today Can Be Different

    We often focus on those who have been victims of abortion – innocent babies, of course, and their mothers. But we rarely hear about how this tragedy affects dads. These “forgotten fathers” often bottle up their emotions, including grief, depression, anger and guilt – all of which can escalate to self-destructive behavior if they don’t seek counseling.
