A Recap of Sabbath Services at the Great House of Yahweh…
Women’s Presentation – Deception is Subtle
Highlights…
- Feelings/emotions discussed, stressing the temporary aspect, that can cloud our judgments, if we do not control them; therefore, we should trust/study Yahweh’s Laws
- Deception is subtle, it’s not obvious; if we aren’t careful, we can take on the characteristics of the Gods
- Satan is subtle and can influence easily, if we are not on guard; Yahshua is our example, we can examine ourselves according to His righteous example
- Testing can come through ‘little things’, and it will continue into other areas of our lives if we do not recognize these negative influences
- Deception defined in traditional dictionary, Yisrayl defined it in The Mark of the Beast, Book II; subtle influences discussed; study is our best way to avoid being deceived
- Our adversary is relentless – we cannot allow ourselves to forget this, even for a moment; to guard ourselves, do not settle for having a ‘lack of understanding’, we must remain sober, vigilant always; we have the tools available to us through the materials in The House of Yahweh
- Bad company corrupts righteous character – this can occur in several ways; leaning upon our own understanding; lack of study… are ways deception can creep into our lives
- Make the plan of Yahweh real to you, it must be real for us to succeed in righteousness; do not forget the teachings we have received, rehearse this
- Our minds receive many thoughts every day – we must examine our thoughts diligently
- Never underestimate Satan, we should never allow her deceptions to deceive or distract us – remember the cares of this life do not matter… only reaching our goals of attaining to the Kingdom matters
- There are underlying problems that can lead us into deception, examine ourselves to determine what we want—are our motives pure, if not we can be deceived
- Yahweh has given us many abilities—one we should not neglect is to forgive
- Deception can include desire—which could be positive or negative; ultimately deception can reflect what we desire; generally, deception is not forced upon us, but comes from the desire of our heart, whether for righteousness or evil
