The Lord knows the importance of differentiating between a genuine minister and a vicious wolf. Only those who are saved by grace, abiding in Christ, walking in the spirit, and maintaining fellowship with the Father, can bring forth the fruit of righteousness. Others make a pretense of spirituality, professing to know Him with their lips while hiding a heart of unbelief and rebellion. God alone is able to read the heart of religious leaders. Only God Can Discern Human Thoughts and knows if faith is genuine. Only He knows if humans are doing His will or not. God is omniscient, but we are not! We are incapable of reading someone's heart. We have no supernatural ability to read men's minds and so He gave us a bona fide indicator of the state of a human's heart. It is God's will that we admonish unruly brethren, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone, and refuse to repay evil with evil. True ministers encourage one another and seek after that which is good, which brings glory to God. The godly minister rejoices in the Lord, prays without ceasing, and gives thanks in everything, knowing that this is God's will for all His children. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the warnings of false prophets and teachers in your Word. We pray that you would guard the hearts and minds of all your children and protect them from false prophets and ungodly teachers who seek to devour your flock. Help us all to identify the fruit of those in positions of leadership in the Church who come to us in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Lord, give us discernment to know the truth and reject those who do not honor Your will. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
