Almighty Elohim, You are sovereign and above all, yet, You allow Your beloved to call You Father. We come today to thank You for Paul’s warning to the disciples. He states that he fervently worked for three years to keep the gospel clear and protected. He continued through his writings of Scripture these past thousands of years. Let us heed his red flags, Father. Grant us discernment to know truth from lie, authenticity from deception. Give us the courage to speak boldly and to stand unwavering on Your Word. We urgently ask in this present darkness in the name and authority of Jesus, who conquered evil, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. ‘So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.’” (Acts 20: 29-32 NKJV)
