JULY "prayer-starters" DAY 22

<previous

July 2008 Day 22

next>

We pray...That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge
…that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19

DAY 22—The ministries appointed by the Throne will keep us from the deception of the anti-Christ.

The passage that follows on after the Word telling of the appointment of the five ministries are set to lead the Body of Christ to its perfection.

Ephesians 4:12-13—For •the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: •That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and •carried about with every wind of doctrine, •by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive...

The Apostle John warned us of the anti-Christ's that will work toward leading us away from our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

I John 2:18. Little children, it is the last time (Greek hora, it is the last hour): and as ye have heard that anti-Christ shall come, even now are there many anti-Christ's; whereby we know that it is the last time.

As the time of the end draws closer to the final hour, the activity of anti-Christ spirits will become more determined to deceive believers. For this reason, we want to stay as close to the Throne of God’s Kingdom as possibleWe do this by remaining close to the Lord Jesus, and the continuing help of the Holy Spirit. We also must stay close to the Word of God. Another point of vital importance is that we remain in an abiding communion with others in the Body of Christ.

DEAR LORD, I need the continual guidance of Your Holy Spirit. Please keep watch upon my spirit, my emotions, my will and my understanding. Please keep me aware of my relationship with You. Help me remember day by day, that I dwell in You, and that You dwell in me. And, DEAR LORD, please draw these that I hold before You into this abiding relationship. Place within their hearts a deep desire that will draw them always toward loving Your presence and loving Your Word. And please draw them into a fellowship with other believers who themselves are remaining in close communion with You.
