THE most powerful delusion

[ClubV12]

We will, and are, seeing great delusions within the Adventist church and among all churches. Here is what I believe will be, has been and currently is the most powerful of all delusions.

From the 1888 materials, concerning a revival needed among the Pastors/Elders of that time. But it certainly applies to any and all professed christians, and Adventists in particular:

"They do not in Spirit represent Christ. They are surface workers, and delude themselves with the idea that they are christians. So effectually does this delusion take possession of heart and mind that the sharp arrows of the Lord fail to penetrate the armor of self righteousness in which they are encased. The spell is so strong that they will listen to the truth, the most earnest and powerful, even to the very portraying of the delusions which are upon them without any thought of self-examination to see if it means them. This is the class our Saviour found most difficult to arouse. The most authoritative teachings were heard and listened to as if they heard not. Thus it is with many, many in this generation."

The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials. 1987; 2002 (796-797).

As I read the very words I have hear posted I must once again ask myself, is THIS counsel talking to ME? Am I myself under this delusion even now? Not one of us are exempt.
