Listen "Episode 20: Deceit in the last days"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of RRT, we dive deep into a topic that’s been stirring in our hearts: the rise of deception in the last days and how to stay spiritually grounded when the world feels louder, darker, and more confusing than ever.Everywhere we turn—social media, news, podcasts, YouTube prophets, political commentary, conspiracies, and constant “hot takes”—we’re surrounded by noise. Opinions clash, narratives shift, and people are left wondering what’s true, what’s biblical, and how to stay rooted when everything feels unstable.Scripture tells us this would happen. Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that deception would increase as His return draws near. Paul echoed this in 1 Timothy 4, saying many would begin to follow deceiving spirits instead of God’s truth. Today, we see this playing out as truth is treated like an opinion, feelings outweigh Scripture, and spiritual content is everywhere—but biblical truth is scarce.This episode exposes how the enemy uses distraction, distortion, and “almost-truth” to confuse believers—just as he did with Eve in the garden. We explore how spiritual overstimulation, endless voices, and constant content consumption create spiritual overload, making it harder to hear God clearly. You’ll learn why your spirit wasn’t designed for nonstop input, why discernment is crucial, and how to recognize deception in subtle, modern forms.Most importantly, we return to the anchor:Fixing your eyes on Jesus.When we drift toward fear, conspiracies, opinions, or cultural chaos, we sink—just like Peter when he looked at the waves. But when our eyes stay locked on Jesus and our foundation stays in the Word, clarity rises, peace settles in, and deception loses its grip.You’ll also hear practical ways to stay grounded in these confusing times:Limit spiritual noise and filter what you consume.Open your physical Bible and let Scripture—not the algorithm—form your beliefs.Stay plugged into a biblical church community.Pray for discernment and trust the Holy Spirit to lead you.Learn God’s character so you can quickly recognize what is not from Him.This episode is a call back to stillness, intimacy, and simplicity with God. In a world overflowing with voices, He’s inviting you to hear His voice again—the only voice that brings truth, clarity, and peace.By the end, you’ll be reminded of this powerful reality:You are not helpless.You are not meant to walk confused.And you will not be deceived when your eyes remain on Jesus.
