00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.480
Heavenly Father, in a world where truth is often
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:06.440
blurred and deception is widespread, we come
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.539
before you seeking your divine shield and clarity.
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.259
Lord, grant us the spirit of wisdom and discernment
00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:16.019
to see past illusions and counterfeit truths.
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:18.960
Guard our minds against the subtle distractions,
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.019
false narratives, and spiritual blindness that
00:00:22.019 --> 00:00:25.059
seek to lead us astray. Give us the clarity to
00:00:25.059 --> 00:00:27.379
test everything against your immutable word.
00:00:27.710 --> 00:00:30.829
We pray for protection over our hearts and thoughts.
00:00:31.309 --> 00:00:34.229
Where there is confusion, bring your peace. Where
00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:37.170
there is falsehood, let your light expose it.
00:00:37.630 --> 00:00:40.210
Surround us with your truth as a fortress and
00:00:40.210 --> 00:00:42.909
keep our feet firmly planted on the narrow path
00:00:42.909 --> 00:00:45.929
of righteousness. Help us to stay rooted in your
00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:49.469
presence, ever watchful and alert. Let your Holy
00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:52.250
Spirit whisper direction when we face a crossroads
00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:55.429
so that we may walk boldly and securely, free
00:00:55.429 --> 00:00:59.280
from the trap of deception. In Jesus' name, Amen.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.980
For the time will come when they will not endure
00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:23.859
sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall
00:01:23.859 --> 00:01:26.519
they heap to themselves teachers having itching
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.980
ears, and they shall turn away their ears from
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:32.739
the truth and shall be turned unto fables. Colossians
00:01:32.739 --> 00:01:37.000
2, 8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.780
and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:42.719
after the rudiments of the world, and not after
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.340
Christ. Testing the Spirits and Seeking Discernment.
00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:50.799
1 John 4, 1. Beloved, believe not every spirit,
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.340
but try the spirits whether they are of God,
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.900
because many false prophets are gone out into
00:01:55.900 --> 00:02:00.420
the world. Philippians 1, 9 -10 And this I pray,
00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:03.379
that your love may abound yet more and more in
00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:06.280
knowledge and in all judgment, that ye may approve
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.039
things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.280
and without offense till the day of Christ. Proverbs
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.330
3, 5 -6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart
00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:19.490
and lean not unto thine own understanding in
00:02:19.490 --> 00:02:22.550
all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct
00:02:22.550 --> 00:02:26.509
thy paths staying alert and equipped Ephesians
00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:30.409
6 11 put on the whole armor of God that ye may
00:02:30.409 --> 00:02:32.949
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil
00:02:32.949 --> 00:02:37.550
first Peter 5 8 Be sober be vigilant because
00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:41.090
your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh
00:02:41.090 --> 00:02:46.360
about seeking whom he may devour Luke 21 36 watch
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.699
ye therefore and pray always That ye may be accounted
00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:52.020
worthy to escape all these things that shall
00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:54.800
come to pass and to stand before the son of man
