The devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

I had been speaking about antichrist come through individuals in churches and I was making a recording, and the thought came, "You're wrong. Antichrist doesn't come through humans."

God reminded me of following scripture:

I John 2

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

***

The Bible shows us antichrist coming through people in the church even in the days of the apostle John.

The object of antichrist is to cause us to depart from the Word of God and to set up doctrine contrary to the Word of God.  

The object of the devil is to destroy the people of God, if we allow ourselves to be destroyed, following destructive thoughts of devils and our own flesh.

Therefore the apostle Paul instructs:

II Corinthians 10

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:



4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

(Making every thought obedient to Christ, THE WORD.)

As long as we live on this earth, we must deal with every thought to make that which "we think" conform to the Word of God, casting all thoughts contrary to the scriptures from us, establishing the truth and what we believe by the scriptures by the Holy Spirit of God.
