We Are The People

Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Believers are warned to be on guard against false prophets. The sure defense against deception is total allegiance to Jesus and his ministry. To do this we must enter the strait gate and follow the narrow path. As bankers and law enforcement officers are taught to know real dollar bills so well that they recognize a counterfeit immediately, a Christian’s best defense against deception is to study God’s Word and be in His presence and prayer.
Pray in agreement today that God’s people value their relationship with God and spend time with Him so they will recognize the imposters who say “Lord, Lord” but were never known by the Lord Jesus Christ.
