December 2, 2025 – Don’t Be Deceived
Sermon: 1942 Kingdom Authority, Part 2
Pray Over This
“And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.”
Ponder This
What happened to Mankind? God made us to have dominion, but here Paul said, “You were dead in your sins. You’re following Satan. You’re walking according to the course of the prince of the air, the spirit that now works in disobedience.”
Satan, in the form of a serpent, which literally means “a shining one,” came into the Garden of Eden and began to tempt Adam and Eve. What was the temptation? He tempted Adam and Eve to secure for themselves what he had tried to secure in Heaven. He tempted them to desire to be like God. What Satan failed to accomplish in Heaven, he tempted Adam and Eve to accomplish on this Earth, and Adam and Eve believed a lie and chose against Almighty God. When they did, God was dethroned in their will and in their hearts. The same happens today; we so quickly neglect God’s instruction and go our own way. We are so easily deceived into thinking that our way will last in the end. God has authority over our hearts and lives. Will you submit to Him?
- How have you struggled to obey God? What are some areas where you feel most tempted to go your own way?
- What are some ways we try to be like God on our own? What happens when we do?
Practice This
Confess and repent to God the ways you have chosen your way over His.
