Hollywood Prayer Network On DeceptionSample
BE TRANSFORMED BY THE WORD TO BE LIKE JESUS
"There is nothing more impotent than words which lie dormant in our brains and have no influence on our lives." Alexander MacLaren
PRAY: Jesus, I praise You that You are and always have been sinless. You are my role model, my inspiration, and my encouragement. Don't let me be deceived. Let me read and learn Your word and then do what it says, so that I will not deceive myself into thinking that I am more righteous than I am. Please help me to be more like You and to depend on You for everything I do and say. Thank You Jesus. I pray this in Your name.
REFLECT: How humbling to realize that in our humanness we can deceive ourselves and others into believing and doing things that aren't true. Even when we think we're good people, doing good things and following Jesus, we can still say and do deceitful things. That's why we need a Savior. That's why Jesus died for us, even though He committed no sin and no deceit was found in His mouth. Reflect on Jesus and what it means to follow His example in your life, not just in your thoughts, but in your words and actions. We have to intentionally put the Gospel into practice and ask Jesus to help us.
ACT: Spend the next five minutes just praising Jesus. Praise Him for being sinless, for being your Savior, your role model, your inspiration and your comfort. Thank Him for loving you so much that He is your example of truth. Praise Him for giving you His word to follow and His life as an example of how to live. Praise Him that no deceitful word has ever come out of His mouth. Praise be to His name!
We would love to hear from you!

About this Plan
“The enemy comes only to steal, kill and destroy.” That’s the foundation of why we are all hurt at some point in our lives by deception. This week we’re looking into how to deal with the deceiver and those who deceive, including ourselves. Let’s not let the enemy deceive us in any way or at any time!
