Be not deceived

Matthew 24:4 - And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

We get deceived because we lack knowledge of the truth. Whatever the world tells you may be the fact, but facts are dependent on situations. If the situation changes facts too change. Therefore the truth is that, which does not change and is independent of situations. The only thing that qualifies, which does not change but can change the situation is the Word of God.

If the Word of God says; whatsoever may be the situation, that situation has to change, for the Word has to come to pass. Get to the truth by knowing the Word and do not get deceived.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Lord, You are the Word and because You abide in us, the truth is in us. Help us Lord that we may be guided by You and the understanding of your Word; which You reveal to us. I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
