From Deception

From Deception

We pray, Father,

that we will beware of the false prophets, who come to us in sheep's clothing,

but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Praying that we will know

and recognize them by their fruits.

For every good tree bears good fruit,

but the rotten tree bears bad fruit.

Father, may we see to it that no one misleads us, for Jesus said that many will come in His name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will mislead many. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

Father, Praying

that we will not believe every spirit,

but will test the spirits to see whether they are from You, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

By this they will know the Spirit of God every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God;

and this is the spirit of the antichrist,

of which we have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

Praying, Father,

that we not be taken captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world,

rather than according to Christ.

For in Him we have been made complete, and He (Christ) is the overall rule and authority.
