"Strong Delusion"
By J . M Little
'And with^>11 deceivable
ness of unrighteousness in
them that perish, because
they received not the love of
the truth, that they might be
saved. And for this cause GOD
SHALL SEND THEM
STRONG DELUSION, that
they should believe a lie: That
they all might be damned who
believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness "
II Thess. 2:10, 11, 12.
Our subject is "Strong Delu
sion ine definition of the
word "delusion" is: some
thing which one accepts as
true or real but which is
untrue and unreal. That tells
us a lot doesn't it?
Every soul out of Christ
lives, anil lias his entire mind
and being in a delusion. Has it
ever occurred to you that you
are in a delusion? Has it? I'm
talking to you. Do you know
that you are deluded by your
old wicked heart and by Satan,
your father, who holds you
captive at his will? According
to Jer. 17:9: "The heart is
deceitful above all things, and
desperately (incurably) wick
ed: who can know it?" And
II Tim 3:26: "And that ehey
may recover themselves out
of the snare of the devil, who
are taken captive by him at
his will." There you have it,
every soul out of the Lord
Jesus Christ is deluded by his
old wicked heart and Satan
who holds you captive. My
friend, your old wicked heart
and Satan always lie to you,
you can't trust them in any
way.

is warning of the Great Delu
sion the world would be in just
before the return of the Lord.
And" oh, JioSZBje wurld is
deluded. The world is ripe for
the take over of the Anti
Christ Sometime back we
brought some studies on the
different classes of demon
spirits. One class we mention
ed was the class of "lying."
Over the last few years, more
particularly the last seven, we
have seen the intrusion of
lying spirits into the human
race as never before.
It began at the top of the
nation in Mr. Richard M.
Nixon and has come all the
way down to the bottom of our
society here in America. This
Ts^he lyingest generation we
have ever lived in. In govern
ment you can not trust the
officials to tell you the truth
about even the smallest of
matters. They will lie as com
mon as batting an eye. If I did
not see and know it with my
own eyes I would not believe
it. Our government from top to
bottom has been invaded by a
wave of demons of lying. The
same is true in the business
world. Men lie and cheat one
another and do it with a smile.
In the social world it is the
bame There is all the make
believe and put on and make
up. The demon spirits have
invaded this entire generation
of mankind and deluded all
except the very elect of God. If
it were possible they would
deceive the very elect. But I
thank God He has a few who
cannot be deluded by Satan
because the Holy Spirit has
sealed every one of the elect
and keeps us from being delu
ded.
I've watched here in the
halls of government and seen
how men will lie for any cause
or goal they hope to reach.
Then in every day life in the
homes the husbands and wives
lie to each other. All because
you are in the Great Delusion
of Satan that grips the whole
world now which is waiting for
the appearance of the "Son of
Perdition" who is the Anti
christ that will rule all the

world (Rev. 13).
Every man, woman, boy,
girl, rich or poor, you are
caught up in the Great Delu
sion if you don't know the Lord
or if you are not under Holy
Spirit Conviction. 1 thank God
He awakened me to my lost
condition and gave me a love
for the truth that I might be
saved. If the Holy Spirit has
not awakened you to your
awful ruined and lost condi
tion, my friend, you pray that
He will because your time is
running out. Just because you
are a great church member is
no sign you are saved. The
religious world is in this Great
Delusion in all likelihood more
than anyone else. The preach
ers of this nation and ali over
thp wnrlrt art» ιη the great
delusion, my friend. You may
say that is a strong statement.
Well, I know it to be so. The
preachers of this deluded gen
eration have never been a
wakened to their lost condition
out of Christ. There, not know
ing what it means to be lost,
they can't tell what it means to
be saved. They can't. I've
read one religious periodical
after the other. Do the preach
ers speak of knowing Christ as
a living reality to their hearts?
No, they do not. You cannot
preach someone you do not
know. The religious world is
deluded in that they are look
ing for "another." That "ano
ther" is the Anti-christ who is
soon to appear on the scene. I
believe the Anti-chrlst is al
ready on the earth. But if you
read II Thess. closely you will
see that he cannot be revealed
until the church and the Holy
Spirit are taken out.
Let me ask you some ques
tions my friends, have you
ever seen that you are the one
who is deluded by Satan?
Have you? Now, you know
whether you have or not. Have
you ever been made to see that
you were tricked by Satan into
thinking that you were saved
and then in His great mercy
the Lord revealed to you that
you were lost? Has that hap
pened to you? If not then you
are not saved! Let me ask you
another question: did you
ever see that you hated God?
Have you ever seen your heart
of rebellion and hatred against
God? According to Rom. 8:7
every natural soul hates God.
If you have never seen your
heart of hatred for God then
the god you think you know is
only a "figment" of your
depraved imagination. Now
you great church folks, you
deacons and Sunday school
teachers, let that soak in.
You had better listen, my dear
man. For you are thinking you
are saved while you are on the
road to Hell. A great Bible
teacher once spoke up in
regards to your editor: "He's
alright when he is talking to us
but when he gets to writing he
writes like we all are going to
Hell." Well, that teacher ex
posed himself didn't he?
According to John 8:44 eve
ry soul is bom a child of the
Devil. The late Lyndon B.
Johnson once said : "All of us,
not some of lis, are God's
children." My, how deluded
that mas was. It was a great
shock when he woke up in.
Hell. The Bible plainly de
dares-there are the children
of God and the children of the
Devil. Have you ever seen
yourself as a child of the
devil? Then how do you know
you are a child of God's? You
will see yourself as a child of
uie ltcvii long oeiore you see
and know you are a child of the
living and true God. May God
help you to see it my friend.
Yes, all around us we see the
world deluded and running at
break neck speed to get to
hell. You don't realize you are
on the road to hell, but vou
are. Every way you turn you
come face to face with such
open rebellion and hatred a
gainst God. If you can find one
in a million interested in how
God saves a poor hell-deserv
ing sinner you are doing good.
Practically everywhere I look
and turn no one is the least
interested.
Some may think they are
interested in being saved but
you are deluded by your old
wicked heart that tells you
that you have plenty of time
left and you can get saved
later on. Well, my friend, you
are very much deceived.
Christ could come any time
and you'd be left to enter the
awful tribulation.
Men and women are taken
up with the riches of this
world. You are going on as
though you will live forever.
But I am crying : judgment is
coming friend! Judgment will
find your soul wanting. Eter
nity is forever dear soul,
forever! You are going out
into eternity. As death finds
you, so shall eternity hold you.
How will death find you? Are
you ready to die?
