1 Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
The Spirit is God, who is Truth. So the truth, as the Spirit CLEARLY STATES is that as we get closer to the end times some "will fall away." This phrase means to revolt, to depart, and to draw others away. This drawing away is to pull others from living in and by faith. Instead of paying attention to God and His words they pay attention to worldly things. Things that are deceitful, instead of being truthful. They are hiding the truth in discussion of all worldly things instead of speaking about God. Their focus is on all the activities of secular life rather than the activities of God in life. By doing this the Spirit of God is suppressed as their focus is on all they see (living by sight) and not on what the Spirit desires to do in faith. Discussion about God no longer brings excitement but rather conviction which they don't like. This causes them to desire to pay attention to deceitful spirits which bring false excitement in worldly activities and doctrine of demons. Many do not understand the doctrine of demons. They think that their goal is to be worshipped but this is not their desire as much as their desire is for people to not worship God! They don't care if you focus on them just as long as you don't focus on or worship God. They are just as happy when you worship activities of the world or go against God's desires as they are when you worship Satan. Just as long as you are going against God they consider this a WIN! They are correct. More and more people who are believers are falling away into activities that take their focus from God as we get closer to the end times. However, how close we are only God knows. The demons do not even know. Jesus said in Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
This means there is still an opportunity for a revival and another Great awakening! These do not start with lost people but instead with the church and those who have fallen away getting back their excitement for God. It can start with you. Ask God to help you as you make an effort to spend one week seeking to focus and talk with excitement about God. Do this instead of talking about all the ways of the world and let's see what happens. Stop the falling away in your life.
