Deception- the act of deceiving someone. The act of deliberately causing someone to accept something as TRUTH that is not.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world
And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. ( Don't let anybody, no one) deceive you for many shall come in my name saying I am the Christ and shall deceive many. False prophets, shall rise with great signs and wonders. By "every spirit" he means every doctrine that is pretended to come from the Spirit of God, or every teacher, who professes to be qualified and sent by him, and to have his light, knowledge, and doctrine from him.
Every true minister of the Gospel has the Spirit, and the gifts of the Spirit, to qualify him for his work; he is separated, and called to it by God, and receives his spiritual light and knowledge from God. The called will lead you in sound doctrine that speaks the true gospel of Jesus Christ. They follow the commandments of Christ. Will not deviate from the TRUTH. Try the spirit by the word of God, which is the standard of all doctrine; and whatever agrees with that is to be received, and what does not should be rejected.
And this is what every believer, every disciple of Christ should do; read and search the Scriptures, and prove all things, and judge for themselves of the truth of doctrine, the prophet, the miracle signs and wonders. Be not deceived in this hour with word play and natural knowledge. Those that speak well and have charisma. Study to show thy self approved try every spirit by the scripture.
