“For false christs and false prophets will arise and will provide great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).
Do not pay attention to what seem like miracles. Pay attention to the message. Just because someone does something does not mean they are anything. All power belongs to Jesus. He who took your sin and died so that you may have His life has already accomplished your salvation. Charlatans will come but give them no room in your heart. Keep humbly walking in the faith you have been given, trusting in Jesus.
Lord, You who know all things, keep my eyes open so that I am not misled. Lead me in the way of all truth and guide me according to Your goodness and mercy to humbly walk past any who come to dazzle me in my naiveté. All power is Yours and the greatest miracle of all has already taken place, for You have redeemed me at the cost of Your own life. Keep me forever in the one true faith.
Lord Jesus, there are always anecdotes going on around me which distract me. Help me to not live my life in a reactionary way. Help me live according to the truth of all that You have spoken. Guide me in truth. Deepen my faith and the understanding of the faith You have revealed. Teach me how to see things more clearly so that I humbly abide in You and You in me forever. Amen.
