Deceivers coming in the name of Jesus

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Internet is known for deceivers ... And I find many who contact me "in the name of the Lord" to be deceivers.  They try to steal from us, making us feel badly that we have things and money in order to get us to give to them.  Such are predators and often they identify themselves as ministers of Christ.  I am amazed as they come to me by email trying to get me to give money to them.  They know nothing at all about me.  They do not care about me nor about my financial condition.  All they want is my money.  And they do this to you also from pulpits and on radio/TV.  Jesus described them as follows:  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.  Mt. 23

And Jesus warned us there would be such in the last days ... Jesus said:  Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I (Jesus) am Christ; and shall deceive many.  Mt. 24:4  They will come saying, "Jesus is Lord ... Jesus is Christ".


Flee from such.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:  Psa. 36

- iniquity:  grossly unfair
-deceit:  concealing or misrepresenting the truth ... misleading ...to cause someone to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage ... to catch and ensnare to cheat

Paul warned:

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Titus 1:10


"Circumcision" would mean those who are supposed to be of God but are really deceivers.  Jesus said there would be many who are such in last days and because they say Jesus is Lord they would be able to deceive many.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. II Cor. 11

I have no doubt that many today who come saying they are of God and telling of their calling are actually called by Satan though they think the voice calling them was God.

I see them all the time by email.  Many occupy pulpits around the world today.  Many are on radio/TV coming in the name of the Lord trying to get your money for works they display as "good" ... Yet Jesus said he will turn away many in the day of judgment who come professing good works... Mt. 7 ... Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them,  I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.  Titus 1

And we are warned that some will come in last days performing great miracles and because of these miracles, if possible, they would even deceive the elect of God. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  Mt. 24  Even if they show miracles, we must beware.  They still may not be of God though they profess to be of God and use the name "Jesus" and perform miracles.


When you see such, flee.

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Jude
