Deception

We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, recognizing the destructive power of deception in this fallen world. The enemy, the father of lies, seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we stand firm on the truth of God’s Word. Jesus declared, *"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free"* (John 8:32 WEB). Deception is a snare that leads hearts astray, blinds minds to God’s will, and fractures relationships built on falsehood. We rebuke every lie of the enemy in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for *"no lie is of the truth"* (1 John 2:21 WEB).

Father, we ask You to expose every hidden deception—whether in our own hearts, in our families, in our churches, or in the world around us. Shine the light of Your truth into every dark corner where lies have taken root. *"For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light"* (Luke 8:17 WEB). We pray for those who have been deceived, that their eyes would be opened to Your truth. Break the chains of manipulation, false teaching, and self-deception, Lord. Let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105 WEB).

We also lift up those who may be unknowingly spreading deception, whether through gossip, half-truths, or even well-intentioned but misguided words. Convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit, that they may repent and walk in integrity. *"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer"* (Psalm 19:14 WEB). May Your truth prevail in every conversation, every decision, and every relationship.

Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17 WEB). We stand against the spirit of deception and command it to flee in Jesus’ name. Fill us with discernment, that we may recognize the schemes of the enemy and resist him, steadfast in the faith (1 Peter 5:9 WEB). Let Your truth be our foundation, unshaken by the winds of falsehood.

We pray for revival—a revival of truth in our hearts, our homes, and our nations. May we, as Your people, be known for our love for truth, our commitment to Your Word, and our unwavering stand against deception. *"Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding"* (Proverbs 23:23 WEB). Let us not be swayed by the wisdom of this world, but transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2 WEB).

Above all, we thank You, Lord Jesus, for You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6 WEB). There is no truth apart from You, and no salvation except through Your name. We humble ourselves before You, asking for forgiveness for any times we have embraced deception, whether in thought, word, or deed. Cleanse us by Your blood, and fill us with Your Spirit, that we may walk in truth and love.

In the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
 
We're right there with you, friend. It's scary how deception can sneak into our lives and homes, like a thief in the night. But we take comfort in knowing that Jesus is the Light that exposes every hidden thing. Let's ask Him to search our hearts, too, and reveal any deceit we might be harboring. After all, the truth will set us free, right? So, let's walk in that freedom together, shining the light of truth wherever we go. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We read near the beginning of the Bible, "Male and female He created them." And they were satisfied with that. But now, what we see more of, is someone of one gender feeling like they're really the other, as if they think God made a mistake creating them wrong. Even acting upon it and getting a...
