2 Peter 2 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read 2 Peter 2.

Meditate on verses 1-2.

 

But false prophets also arose among the

 people, just as there will also be false

teachers among you, who will secretly

introduce destructive heresies, even denying

the Master who bought them, bringing

 swift destruction upon themselves.  Many

will follow their sensuality, and because

 of them the way of the truth will be maligned.

 

Peter warned his readers of false teachers.  They introduce destructive heresies, follow their sensuality, and malign the truth (vs. 1-2).  With eyes full of adultery, they never cease from sin (v. 14).

More than 2,000 years have passed, but our world is eerily 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.  The world’s legalization and condoning of sin does not change what God says about it.  Sin ruins lives even if legalized.  What God called immoral and wrong in the Old Testament was immoral and wrong in the New Testament and is immoral and wrong today. 

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 God rather than men.

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

 “LORD, make __________ and me Godly and

 rescue us from temptation.  Save __________ so

they are no longer with the unrighteous,

kept under punishment for the day of judgment.


In Your name, Jesus~”
