Deception even sometimes takes place in the Church. If this occurs it should never be ignored by the leaders of the Church, if it is ignored then lasting difficulties and problems may be allowed to happen in that Church at God’s Hand. Deception in the Church needs to be rooted out and repented of, only then can the Blessing of the Lord be fully restored to the Church.
