Deception on SermonAudio

In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill addresses concerns surrounding The Passion Translation and the larger issue of how Christians should evaluate Bible translations, paraphrases, prophetic claims, and spiritual experiences. The episode considers why believers must test everything by Scripture and refuse to treat personal impressions, emotional language, or claims of fresh revelation as equal to the written Word of God. Scripture warns against adding to God's words and turning away from sound doctrine. This episode calls Christians to love biblical truth, exercise discernment, and remain firmly anchored in the authority, sufficiency, and clarity of Scripture.

This sermon explores the nature of Biblical wisdom as found in Proverbs, emphasizing that true understanding comes from God rather than worldly intellect. It highlights the necessity of spiritual discernment and critical thinking to distinguish between righteous paths and deceptive alternatives. The speaker explains that when God's wisdom enters the heart, it brings pleasant knowledge and discretion, which preserve individuals from error. This divine guidance protects believers from the ways of evil men by providing clear judgment and upright living. Ultimately, the message encourages a deep desire for God's wisdom to navigate life with spiritual clarity and protection.

This sermon exposes Freemasonry as a deceptive cult that promotes salvation through human effort and secret rites rather than faith in Jesus Christ. The speaker contrasts Masonic teachings, which deify man and deny the deity of Christ, with biblical truth found in passages like 2 Corinthians 11 and Galatians 2. Emphasizing that righteousness comes only through grace, the preacher warns believers to test all religious claims against Scripture. Using John 1:29 as a central witness tool, the message affirms Jesus as the sole Savior who takes away sin. The sermon concludes with an urgent call to reject Masonic doctrines and rely exclusively on Christ for eternal life.

In this episode of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue reflects on the truthfulness of God and the comfort believers have in knowing that God cannot lie. In a world marked by deception, betrayal, false teaching, and broken promises, Christians can rest in the God of truth. Doreen explains how God's character is perfectly trustworthy, how Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and how the Holy Spirit guides believers in truth. This episode especially encourages women who have been hurt by spiritual deception, New Age teaching, Word of Faith promises, betrayal, or unanswered prayer. God is not a genie or a vending machine. He is the Creator, Lord, and faithful Father who invites His people to pour out their hearts before Him and trust His wisdom, timing, and care.

Angel numbers and recurring numerical patterns are often presented as messages from angels, God, or the universe. Their growing popularity has carried these New Age beliefs into social media, popular culture, and even some professing Christian circles. In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins speaks with Doreen Virtue about the New Age origins and spiritual dangers of angel numbers. Doreen explains how she coined and popularized the phrase during her former New Age career and how the supposed meanings were received through meditation, altered states, and automatic writing. Dave and Doreen examine why angel numbers are a form of divination, why biblical numbers should never be turned into personal revelation, and how mystical signs can draw people away from the sufficient Word of God. They also discuss counterfeit revelation, spiritual downloads, biblical decision-making, spiritual discernment, and how Christians can lovingly help friends and family involved in New Age spirituality. God's people do not need hidden messages or secret revelations. God has spoken clearly and sufficiently in Scripture, which equips believers to test spiritual claims, resist deception, and remain grounded in Jesus Christ.

In this lesson we take quotes from the Kentucky Monitor & Albert Pike showing the absolute heresy of the Masonic order.

Joseph's trial reminds us that God's purposes are often being worked out even when present circumstances seem confusing, painful, or completely contrary to what He has promised. Joseph's brethren hated him without cause, deceived their father, and sold him into Egypt, yet the very evil they meant against him became the means God used to fulfill His plan. We learn that we must be careful not to judge others wrongly, deceive those who trust us, or become defeated by what only appears to be hopeless. Therefore, we must trust God's providence, even when the way seems downward, knowing that He can bring good out of evil and accomplish His will in ways we could never have imagined.

Joshua 9:14 (KJV) And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.

The sermon contrasts the temporary satisfaction found in worldly pursuits, symbolized by Jacob's well, with the eternal fulfillment offered by Jesus Christ. It highlights how the woman at the well sought relief from her burdens but remained thirsty, illustrating the futility of seeking peace outside of God's will. Jesus reveals Himself as the source of living water that permanently quenches spiritual thirst and resides within the believer. The message emphasizes that while the world offers deceptive rest, true peace is found only in Christ amidst life's storms. Ultimately, receiving this gift transforms the individual into a conduit of grace for others.
