Night Prayer
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Inspiration
Reading scripture and expanding our Christian education is crucial! We must become filled with the truth in order to prevent being fooled or mislead by false prophets. It’s easy for false prophets to bend the Word to fit their own agenda. We do not want to be directed toward the wrong path so we must make studying God’s Word our top priority!
Prayer
Dear God, we come to You with the desire to immerse ourselves in Your Word so that we may not be led astray by false prophets. 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.
