Truth, Deception & God’s Unfolding Purpose

What do Truth & Deception Look Like as the Age Draws to a Close?

2000 years ago Jesus invaded a world dominated by satanic darkness. He promised that he would build his church and that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. He also warned of great deception to come – specially at the end of the age. Then he turned the apparent defeat of the cross into the glorious victory of the resurrection, later ascending to a throne far beyond Satan’s reach. As the end of the age draws near Satan is raging against his inevitable fate, doing all in his power to drag as many as possible down with him. His main weapon is deception and his efforts have largely succeeded in compromising, dividing, and counterfeiting Christ’s true church in today’s church world. Does that mean that Christ has failed? Never! God’s purpose is sure and on track. But where does that leave the individual believer? What do truth and deception look like in today’s world? How can we tell? What is God’s purpose? Where is He going with all this?

Phil Enlow was born into the home of an evangelical minister right after World War II ended. He grew up as a “preacher’s kid” in the largely tranquil Eisenhower years. Except for about five years when his dad taught at a Bible college he sat under the faithful ministry of his father. He attended Bible college in the turbulent 1960s on a path towards foreign missionary service. And yet he kept hungering for something, something beyond the evangelical denominational “walls” in which he had been reared. In the late 1960s he came into contact with the Bible Tabernacle in Southern Pines, NC where an amazing supernatural divine visitation was occurring and in the providence of God became a part of that work. Today he continues as an elder in that fellowship, dividing his time between a small printing company he owns and writing and ministering. He also is the primary speaker on the Midnight Cry Broadcast, both on radio and television. The vision that God has something more for His scattered and divided remnant remains strong.
