EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
II Corinthians 11:12-13
"But what I do, I will continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light."
Satan is always trying to infiltrate the Church to preach his deceit, pretending to be an angel of light. So we find heretical doctrine – such as post-modernism – being taught by false apostles and prophets in our churches. Last night, I had a dream. In the dream I was visiting a church where the pastor invited a Buddhist to speak. Half the congregation walked out of the service, while the other half supported the pastor and the Buddhist. There is a trend in America toward ecumenism, which treats all religions as equals. So we have services – especially after 9/11 – where Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims are all given equal opportunity to participate. The ungodly mind regards all religions as being the same, but not all religions are equal. Non-christian ideologies are really messengers of Satan posing as angels of light. We need to be alert with spiritual discernment to recognize false apostles and prophets and deny them opportunity to preach their deceit in our churches.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE – Satan comes as an angel of light to deceive people by false doctrine.

Have a discerning day. Love you.
