1 Timothy 6 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read 1 Timothy 6.

Meditate on verses 20-21.

O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you,

avoiding worldly and empty chatter

and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”­­—

which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith.

Grace be with you.

Paul closed his letter to Timothy with a plea to guard the Truth entrusted to him.  Paul knew believing ideas in opposition to God’s Word caused people to stray from true faith in God.

Insert your name in place of Timothy in the verses above.  “O ___________, guard what has been entrusted to you…” 

God is begging you to avoid what the world calls “knowledge.”  If what you are reading and learning is in opposition to the Bible, it is a lie.  God’s Word is timeless Truth; hold fast the Word of Life, so you will not be deceived by the liar and father of lies (Philippians 2:16; John 8:44).

Pray 1 Timothy 6:4-5, 11-12 over yourself and those for whom you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Lord, let _________ and me flee from controversial questions,

disputes about words, envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

and constant friction between men of depraved mind deprived of the truth.

Help us flee from those who oppose Godliness as a means of gain.

Let us pursue righteousness, Godliness,

faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

Let us fight the good fight of faith

 and take hold of the eternal life to which we were called.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
