Take Heed or Be Deceived!

“Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” Acts 20:26-31

The Holy Spirit hath spoken expressly
That in the latter times
Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils
Shall be given heed unto in kind
(1st Timothy 4:1 / II Peter 2:1-2)

By those who will not endure sound doctrine
Heaping unto themselves false teachers in lust
Turning their ears away from the truth
Thus turned unto fables by the wicked unjust
(2nd Timothy 4:3-4 / II Peter 2:18-19)

Having a form of Godliness
Yet denying the power thereof
From such we are commanded to turn away
Lest we be seduced by their carnal false love
(2nd Timothy 3:1-5 / Jude 1:3-4)

Unto another Jesus, spirit and gospel
As the serpent beguiled Eve
Perverting her faith by Lust and Pride
Jesus warned us that many would be thus deceived
(2nd Corinthians 11:3-4 / Matthew 24:4,11,24)

They that have ears to hear let them hear
They that have eyes to see let them see
For if you receive not the love of the truth
You’ve chose strong delusion to follow the beast
(2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12 / Revelation 14:9-12)
