Stand Fast In The Faith

But we ourselves can too frequently be off-guard by leaving our first Love for the enticements of the world and the appetites of the flesh. Unless we are vigilant in our spiritual life, we can find ourselves walking in the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the way of sinners, and drinking from the broken cisterns of the world. Without due care, we can lapse in our spiritual walk and thus neglect our spiritual growth.
How important, therefore, in these last days, to buckle on the whole armor of God, to stand fast in the faith, to persevere in tribulation, to be vigilant in prayer, and steadfast in praise with thanksgiving:
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,"

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this serious and important warning. We recognize how quickly we can be distracted from the truth of Your Word, enticed away into worldly pursuits, or rendered spiritually impotent by doctrines of demons. Keep us, we pray, and those that we love from the wiles of the enemy. Give us spiritual discernment and a determination to stand fast in the faith, to Your praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
