Satan does all he can to keep an unsaved person deceived and in darkness. As it is written, Satan, which deceiveth the whole world-Rev 12:9.
There is a battle between truth and error going on inside of each person. That battle is for a person’s soul. The devil persuades many in their thoughts that evolution is how we came into existence. The adversary puts in the minds of others that the bible is not God’s word but just a book written by men. He makes some believe that it is too difficult to understand.
And if you do believe the bible is the perfect word of God, Satan will do everything possible to stop you from studying it, by using many distractions and other devices. If you study the bible, Satan will try to cause you to believe certain passages do not mean exactly what they say. If you do believe God’s word, he will try to choke the word that is in you, by using the lusts of this world, the cares of this life, the pleasures of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and many other devices. Satan is a master at mixing the truth with deception in your mind and causing confusion.
Satan persuades many people that there is no heaven, hell, judgment, or god. he causes many to think that he does not even exist, or that, if he does exist, he is nothing more than a little red cartoon character with horns and a pitchfork, who is mischievous but not dangerous. He causes some people to be bitter toward God. He causes many others to be deceived on how to be saved. He blinds their eyes.
There are many people that look like they are led of God, but they are not. They themselves think they are being led of God and deceive many. Many people go to churches that have blind leaders of the blind. These blind clergy outwardly appear righteous "unto men"-Mt 23:28. They appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones-Mt 23:27. They are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them (people that go to their churches) are not aware of them (they are not aware these are blind leaders)-Lk 11:44.
It never occurs to most people that their ordained minister is, himself, on the way to hell. Paul told us very clearly, many...corrupt the word of God- 2 Cor 2:17. These blind clergy combine God’s word with deception and traditions. Multitudes of people attend these dead, ceremonial, entertainment, people-pleasing churches and are confident they will be in heaven when they die. It just never occurs to most people that their church is leading them to hell.
They put their faith in their church or denomination and its half-truth doctrines. Only after they die, do these realize they were deceived and made an eternal mistake.
Satan puts in many people’s minds that he can never deceive them; therefore, they are deceived already and let their guard down—as an army that is caught by surprise and is defenseless when the attack comes. Not only does Satan speak to you in your thoughts, but he speaks to you through many people, and you may never know it.
People can be extremely gullible and lack knowledge in the ways and devices of the devil. Satan puts in people’s mind that they never sin, and many believe this, even though the bible says, all have sinned, and come short of the glory of god- Rom 3:23. Satan has created numerous false religions throughout the world that have led billions of people to hell.
Others may go to good, bible-teaching churches, yet they are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Many of them believe they are saved, but the light that is in them is really darkness, and the darkness has blinded their eyes. They know not where they are going. There is a battle going on for their soul, but most of them will never understand this until it is too late.
Again the bible warns us that many people perish and only a few will enter heaven. It is written: Mt 7:13-14-enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Many people will go to destruction or perish to hell. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Few people will find the true way to salvation. Few people will enter the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 7:21-29-not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord (or not everyone that calls on the name of Jesus), shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. There is an absolute condition that must be met to enter. A person must, I repeat must come only through trusting in Jesus and must do the will of God.
22-Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? Many; note the word Many will stand before the judgment and say they prophesied in the name of Jesus, but they will ultimately perish. The verse continues—and in thy name have cast out devils? Again the word many applies. Many will say that in the name of Jesus that they have cast out devils. Yet they will ultimately perish. The verse continues—and in thy name done many wonderful works? Again the word many applies. Many will say that they have done many wonderful works in the name of Jesus, yet they will ultimately perish.
