Daily Prayer 10/29/07

1 John 2:26-27 These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

Father- In this letter of 1 John we have had so many good warnings and encouragements. John has written to warn of those who try to deceive the little one's who love Christ. Satan has been at work with lies and deception from the beginning. Of course today he tries to keep us from pure faith, but we have Your Gospel that can not fail or be proven wrong. It is preserved for our walk in this world. Plus Christ told us He would send a teacher, a comforter, Your very Spirit to teach and guide us and keep us. Spirit You open our eyes to simple truths that we have not and could not see in Your Word without You opening our eyes to them. You have opened the eyes of millions who have just prayed and asked You to see it clearly in Your Word. May we cling to, obey and abide in Truth. In this world, may we not worry about what others say or think of us or how they judge us, but may we only be concerned with how You view us as You judge the motives of our heart. Teach us to love You Father as Christ loves You. Teach us to love each other as Christ loves us. May we know Your Holiness and Your love and then may we also be people known for holiness and for our love. In Christ's Name we pray, amen.
