The sermon centers on the spiritual reality of deception and the critical importance of anchoring one’s faith in the authority of Scripture alone. Drawing from Revelation 13 and Psalm 57, it emphasizes that believers are surrounded by spiritual forces—symbolized as lions and serpents—whose words, though sharp and persuasive, are counterfeit and destructive when detached from biblical truth. The preacher warns against modern spiritual trends that elevate subjective experiences, inner voices, or charismatic teachings over the written Word, equating such practices with witchcraft and spiritual deception. He underscores that true authority belongs to Christ alone, whose word is the only reliable source of truth, and calls the church to reject false prophets, uphold biblical standards, and remain vigilant against the erosion of moral and doctrinal clarity. Ultimately, the message is a call to spiritual discernment, rooted in Scripture, and a defense of the Bible as the unchanging foundation of faith.
