[Nochaeld]

Father in Heaven -- Thank You for sending out Your light and truth letting them lead us, bringing us to completely through our journey to the Ultimate Goal Your Holy Hill, Ps 43:3, allowing us to understand and believe in Christ, Matt 11:25, Matt 16:17, 1 Cor 1:30! Thank You for faith in the blood of Jesus Christ Your Son, Rom 3:25, which cleanses us from all sin, 1 Jn 1:7! Thank You for the power of the stripes that wounded Jesus that heal us and make us whole, Isa 53:5, Matt 8:17, 1 Pet 2:24!

We specifically ask for protection from deception and lies, Matt 24:4-8, John 8:44, Rev 12:9, from greed, Lk 12:15, Heb 13:5 and may You perform it by granting contentment, 1 Tim 6:6-9, Phil 4:11-13. Let Your Bride walk in the light, 1 Jn 1:7, help us make ourselves ready, Rev 19:7. It seems only You can do this for You who begin a good work ultimately bring it to completion, Phil 1:6, You perfect that which concerns us, Ps 138:8, perhaps we do not have because we do not ask, James 4:2? May it not be said on that day that we did not ask for the holiness without which no one will see You, Lord, Heb 12:14. Jesus clearly taught, "Blessed are the pure in heart , for THEY shall see God, Matt 5:8, when we come out of their midst and are separate, 2 Cor 6:17-18, perfect holiness in the fear of The Lord, 2 Cor 7:1, You are ready to punish all disobedience once our obedience is complete, 2 Cor 10:6.

Protect us all from sin, Zeph 3:13, Ps 119:11, Rev 14:5, let us not enter into temptation, Mk 14:38, Lk 11:4, keep us from the evil one, John 17:15, and keep us on Your path of increasing clarity, Prov 4:18, Col 1:9, Col 4:12, Phil 1:9-11. Keep us especially from false believers, 2 Cor 11:26, 2 Tim 3:5, Tit 1:16, deceivers, 2 Tim 3:13, 2 Jn 1:7, deception, 2 Thes 2:9-10, 1 John 5:19, by washing us with Christ's water of the water of the Word, Eph 5:26, The Word of Truth, Eph 1:13, 2 Cor 6:7. Sanctify us in Your Truth, Your Word is Truth, John 17:17, James 1:18, 2 Tim 3:16, especially when rightly divided, 2 Tim 2:15, with careful attention to our lives and teaching, 1 Tim 4:16.

Protect us from the dragon's false doctrine and persecution spewing across the world, Rev 12:15. Help restrain these evils, 2 Thes 2:7, and use godly government to restrain and punish evil, 1 Tim 2:1-4; Rev 12:16, Rom 13:1-7. We pray for grace to stay on the alert, Mk 13:33, for strength to escape all that's coming and stand before The Son of Man, Luke 21:36.

We ask antichrist be revealed, slain and annihilated, 2 Thes 2:8, that the saints are guarded from buying into his system, Rev 13:6, and that he, the false prophet and devil be fully and finally sentenced forever, Rev 20:10. May we fear you, Ecclesiastes 12:13, Rev 14:6-7, and knowing the fear of The Lord persuade people to prepare for The Judgement Seat of Christ, 2 Cor 5:10-11. Help us be wise and win souls, Prov 11:30, lead many to righteousness, Dan 12:3, instruct many, Mal 2:5-6, Matt 28:20.

With thanksgiving we offer these requests for ourselves, our family, friends, church-mates, pastors and online praying believer-friends, Heb 10:25, so we have fellowship, 1 Jn 1:2-3, test the spirits, 1 Jn 4:1, walk in light, 1 Jn 1:5-10, that our whole body may be full of light with no dark part in it, Luke 11:36, without hidden sin or deception, 2 Cor 4:2, like the message John heard from You, Jesus, and preached to us, about You being light and in You is no darkness at all, 1 Jn 1:4-10, and may the peace of God guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7, Amen, Rev 3:14, 2 Cor 1:20.

 

[Articles]

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for the light and truth You have revealed through Your Word and the precious blood of Jesus Christ, which cleanses us from all sin. Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, and we earnestly seek Your protection from deception, lies, and the snares of the evil one. We acknowledge that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to You, Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:11), and we submit ourselves to His lordship in every area of our lives.

We are deeply concerned about the rising tide of deception in this world, where the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). The Scriptures warn us that in the last days, many will be led astray by false christs and false prophets, who will show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect (Matthew 24:24). We recognize that the dragon, that ancient serpent called the devil, is actively spewing forth deception and persecution across the world (Revelation 12:15). We pray that You would restrain these evils, Lord, and use godly government to punish evildoers and protect the righteous (Romans 13:1-7). We ask that You grant us the grace to stay alert, watching and praying so that we may escape all that is coming and stand before the Son of Man (Luke 21:36).

We specifically ask for Your protection from false believers, deceivers, and all forms of deception. Your Word instructs us to test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1). We pray that You would wash us with the water of Your Word (Ephesians 5:26) and sanctify us in Your truth, for Your Word is truth (John 17:17). Help us to rightly divide the Word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15) and to pay careful attention to our lives and our teaching (1 Timothy 4:16). May we be like the Bereans, who received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what they heard was true (Acts 17:11).

We also lift up a prayer for holiness, for without it, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Jesus taught that the pure in heart are blessed, for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8). We ask that You create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us (Psalm 51:10). Help us to come out from among the world and be separate, touching no unclean thing, so that You may receive us (2 Corinthians 6:17). We desire to perfect holiness in the fear of the Lord, for You are ready to punish all disobedience once our obedience is complete (2 Corinthians 7:1; 10:6).

Father, we pray for contentment, for we know that godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6:6). Keep us from the love of money, which is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10), and help us to be content with what we have, for You have said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Guard our hearts from greed and teach us to be rich in good deeds, generous, and willing to share (1 Timothy 6:18).

We ask that You reveal and annihilate the antichrist and all his deceptive works, that the saints may not be deceived into buying into his system (2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 13:6). We pray that the dragon, the false prophet, and the devil would be fully and finally sentenced to the lake of fire, where they will be tormented day and night forever and ever (Revelation 20:10). May the fear of the Lord fall upon all people, for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Help us to know the fear of the Lord and to persuade others to prepare for the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10-11).

We pray for wisdom to win souls (Proverbs 11:30) and to lead many to righteousness (Daniel 12:3). May we instruct many in the ways of the Lord, as You commanded us to teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything You have commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). We ask that You would use us to shine as lights in this dark world, holding out the word of life (Philippians 2:15-16).

Lord, we pray for our families, friends, church-mates, pastors, and online praying believer-friends. May we not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encourage one another, and all the more as we see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:25). Help us to have fellowship with one another, walking in the light as You are in the light, so that we may have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, Your Son, purifies us from all sin (1 John 1:3, 7). May our whole body be full of light, with no dark part in it (Luke 11:36), and may we renounce secret and shameful ways, not using deception or distorting the Word of God, but setting forth the truth plainly (2 Corinthians 4:2).

We thank You for the peace of God, which transcends all understanding and will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We offer these prayers with thanksgiving, knowing that all Your promises are "Yes" in Christ, and through Him, we say "Amen" to the glory of God (2 Corinthians 1:20). May we be found faithful when our Lord Jesus Christ returns, and may we hear the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21).

Heavenly Father, we humbly submit ourselves to You, resisting the devil so that he will flee from us (James 4:7). Strengthen us with power through Your Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith (Ephesians 3:16-17). May we be rooted and established in love, able to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:17-19).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

We hear the weight of longing in your prayer, a heart that truly desires to walk in the light, untainted by the world’s deceptions. Thank you for inviting us into this asking. It’s a request we often carry as well: that the Lord would keep us whole, keep us His.

One of the ways God has steadied us is through the simple, honest fellowship of believers who gather around His Word. Not as a program, but as a shared life, where we read Scripture together, pray with each other’s real burdens, and gently help one another spot the enemy’s half-truths before they take root. When we’re alone, it’s easy to mishear. Together, under the Word and the Spirit’s leading, the lines become clearer. Have you found a place like that, beyond online spaces? If not, maybe this is a season to ask the Lord to lead you to a few trusted souls who will simply meet, open the Bible, and hold you faithful in prayer. It’s often in that mutual honesty that the power of deception weakens.

We’re not suggesting more work; it’s more like the rest of being held in a net you don’t have to tighten yourself. Christ is building His church, and He’s placed you in it not only to receive but to help guard others, too.

Father, thank You for this dear friend’s thirst for purity and truth. By Your Spirit, keep their inner eye clear and their conscience tender. Surround them with companions who love Your Word and walk in it. Grant that together we would not be deceived by what glitters falsely, but rather be made ready, day by day, for the day we see You face to face. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In Jesus name. Amen

 

[Spurgeon]

The petition rises with the fragrance of a crushed heart, a heart that trembles at His Word. This is no light thing, for the glorious Jehovah looks upon those who are contrite and tremble at His truth, and He esteems this trembling as an admirable mark of His grace within the soul. That very cry, "Keep us from deception," is itself the echo of the Spirit who leads into all truth. The world trifles with Scripture as if it were the word of Shakespeare or Spenser, mere amusement for the mind, but you have come to the Word of God as the very utterance of the Most High, where not one jot or tittle lacks omnipotent power. When God said, "Light be," there was light because His will thrust force into the word. So this Book before you, which is truth itself, carries the same creative and preserving energy. It is not our comments upon the Word that save souls or sanctify hearts, but the Word itself, quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. All the cutting words you ever need you had better borrow directly from its sacred page.

How securely the soul is garrisoned that rests wholly upon the particular truth revealed in Scripture. Truth is neither your opinion nor mine, nor is it found in the glittering counterfeits that wear the label of light but will not stand the fire of God’s test. To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them. Buy the truth, and sell it not. Buy only the truth. Bring everything propounded, every doctrine, every impulse, every seemingly pious claim, to the trial of the Word, and if it will not endure that flame, let it be consumed as wood, hay, and stubble. This is the way of protection: the Scripture alone is absolute truth, essential truth, decisive truth, authoritative truth, undiluted truth, eternal truth. Sanctification is nowhere to be found severed from this truth, for our Lord's prayer binds them fast: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." The washing of water by the Word cleanses the bride and makes her ready. There is no secret holiness without this open Book.

Let the double-edged sword of the Word Incarnate and the Word inspired work its full surgery upon your inner man. You ask for purity of heart, for a walk in the light without hidden darkness. That very petition proves the Spirit is applying the finished work. Remember, the one offering of the body of Jesus Christ has perfected forever them that are set apart. As God looked upon creation and said it was good, so He beholds the work of His dear Son for the sanctification of His people and says it is good, it is finished, all His will accomplished. Yet this objective perfection must be worked into your daily experience. The God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, works in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight. He who begins this good work will complete it until the day of Christ; He will perfect that which concerns you.

Make no truce with the world's deceits or the dragon's flood of false doctrine. There are false brethren, deceivers waxing worse and worse, who hold a form of godliness yet deny the power thereof. The truth will make you singular, as it did Ruth when she clave to Naomi in a strange land, surrounded by a very mournful and discouraging silence. The fidelity of a decided heart, determined to follow the Lamb wherever He leads, has the greatest power in the family and before the world. Do not fear the isolation that truth may bring. Walk in the light as He is in the light, and you will have fellowship one with another, the true fellowship of the contrite, the pure in heart who shall see God. Rightly divide the Word by telling each man what his lot will be in eternity, handling it not as a plaything but as the very sword of the Spirit. This sword convinces the self-righteous and pierces where no human eloquence can reach.

Receive, then, the answer to your cry. The Word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart. As you tremble before its refining fire, its searching threat, and its holy commands, do not let that trembling turn to a servile dread, but let it strengthen faith and cast out all fear of man. When fear of man goes, faith comes in. Genuine faith trusts God in the storm. Go to the Word for your guard; feed upon it daily. The peace of God will garrison your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, not because you have merely asked, but because you have received the effectual working of the truth which you ask to have applied. Let the Word of the Lord sound out from your own life, for the truth of God is your shield and buckler, the sure path of increasing clarity, shining brighter unto the perfect day. Stand alert, hold fast, and watch.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer rises with many Scriptures, and that is good, for the Word is a lamp to our feet. Yet I would have you remember that the holiness you seek, the protection from deception, the purity of heart, these are not bestowed by words alone, but by a life given over to virtue with much diligence. You ask to be guarded from greed; then cultivate contentment, not only in thought but in deed, taking your name and joy from feeding the hungry and caring for strangers, rather than from any anxious care for possessions. Let your gatherings be marked by such works, and the peace of God will stand sentry over your hearts.

You pray against false believers and deceivers. Indeed, Christ foretold that many would come with good words to deceive the simple. Watch, then, and be ever prepared for conflict, guarding against disguised enemies as much as open ones. But the truth you long for is not a notion of the mind; it is a Person, Christ Himself, who said, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” This truth is after godliness, springing from faith, not from clever reasonings. If you walk in the light as He is in the light, you will not stumble.

Do not only ask to be kept from temptation; pursue holiness without which no one shall see the Lord. Holiness is chaste and orderly living: if you are married, remain faithful to your own wife, for marriage preserves the holiness given by faith; if unmarried, preserve purity. The fruit of this life is not shame but confidence, and its end is everlasting life. Already you have been created in righteousness and holiness of truth through Baptism; now live what you are. Let the water of the Word wash you, but let your own hands be stretched out to protect the injured, provide for orphans, and stand with widows. For the hope laid up in heaven is secure, and the One who began a good work in you will complete it, if you do not grow weary. So pray always, but also act, that when the day of testing comes, you may have strength to escape all that is to come and to stand before the Son of Man. Amen.
