Night Prayer
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Inspiration
The world is full of danger and deceit. As Christians, we have spiritual enemies who lie in wait, ready to poison our lives with their lies. But where Jesus sends us, He also equips us. As we walk in His truth, by His power, He protects us from the lies of the world and the schemes of the enemy, so that through us, His truth may bring Him glory.
Prayer
Father, thank You for calling me to the good work of Your kingdom. Please guide my steps as I walk, so that I may remain in Your truth. Give me eyes to see the danger that awaits, and the power to stomp any lie that might lead me astray or cause me to stumble. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
