2 Peter 2 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read 2 Peter 2.

Meditate on verse 2.

Many will follow their sensuality,

and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned.

Peter warned his readers there were false teachers among them.  These teachers introduced destructive heresies, followed their sensuality, and maligned the truth.  Their eyes were full of adultery, never ceasing from sin.

2000 years have passed, but your world is similar to Peter’s.  There are false teachers, even in churches, teaching heresy as if it was truth.  God’s Word does not change; He still hates sin.  God hates sin because it destroys lives. Just because the world legalizes and condones sin does not change what God thinks about it.  Sin will  still ruin your life and the lives of your loved ones even when it is legalized.  What God said was immoral and wrong in the Old Testament was immoral and wrong in the New Testament and is immoral and wrong today.  God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell, and He will keep the unrighteous under punishment for the Day of Judgment (2 Peter 2:4, 9). 

Do not be swayed from the truth of the Bible.  Do not let a preacher, teacher, family member, or friend convince you that God or His Word has changed.  Stand firm!  Live to please the LORD rather than men.

Pray 2 Peter 2:9a over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You know how to rescue the Godly from temptation.

Rescue ____________ and me, today.

For Your sake, Jesus~”
