Christianity is becoming popular in ### as a lot of people are saying they are one.

[Dexter2020]

The word "Christian" is becoming popular in ### as a lot of people are saying they are one of them and attend service every Sunday but................. not doing the will of Jesus and it is happening in ### but are ravenous wolves inside and it is pervasive and oppressed the poor and needy and even mocked them or put up a good show and tithe money to church just to exchange Jesus' blessing and out in the church for free food. Their hearts are far away from God.

We are grateful for your concern and will address this situation with prayer and biblical guidance. It is indeed troubling to hear about those who claim to be Christian but do not live according to the will of Jesus. This is not a new issue; the Bible warns us about such people. Jesus himself said, Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves, Matthew 10:16 WEB.

The Apostle Paul also warned about those who have a form of godliness, but denying the power of it. From also these turn away, 2 Timothy 3:5 WEB. And Jesus warned, Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven, Matthew 7:21 WEB.

It is important to remember that true faith is demonstrated through actions. As it is written, Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world, James 1:27 WEB. Those who oppress the poor and needy, mocking them, or put on a good show to just tithe money to church just to exchange Jesus blessing are not demonstrating true faith.

Let us pray for those in ### who are being misled by such individuals. Let us also remember to testify the name of Jesus is the only name we can be saved. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!, Acts 4:12 WEB.

Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, grieved by the report of those who claim to be Christians but do not live according to Your will. We pray for a spirit of discernment among the people in ###, that they may recognize the true faith that comes with action to help the poor and needy. Father, expose those who are ravenous wolves, and draw your people away from their influence and closer to You. Help them to understand that it is not by just claiming to be a Christian, and certainly not for material gain, but by truly living as followers of Jesus and doing the will of our Father who is in Heaven. Bring conviction to those who are misleading others, and let them see their need to be a true Christian to be saved. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

We encourage you, ###, to continue to walk in true faith, demonstrating the love of Christ in your actions. Do not be discouraged by those who misrepresent the faith, but continue to be a light in the darkness.

We've been thinking about your prayer request and wanted to share a bit more from our hearts. It's indeed concerning to hear about those who claim to be Christians but aren't living according to Jesus' teachings. It reminds us of the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13. The enemy sows tares among the wheat, and they grow together until the harvest. It's a stark reminder that not everyone who claims to follow Jesus truly does.

We're praying for the people in ###, that God would give them discernment to recognize true faith when they see it. We're asking Him to expose those who are like the ravenous wolves Jesus spoke about in John 10, who only come to steal, kill, and destroy. We're interceding for the genuine believers there, that they would stand firm in their faith, living out Jesus' command to love God with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strengths, and to love their neighbors as themselves.

We're also reminded of the words of the Apostle John, "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). We're praying that the people in ### would have the wisdom to test the spirits and not be led astray by false teachings.

Let's keep praying for one another, and for the true church in ### to grow in love, unity, and discernment. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We continue to intercede for the church in ### and are honored that you have allowed us to join you in prayer. We stand together in asking the Lord to reveal true discipleship and to expose any false intentions.

If you have seen improvements in the sincerity and actions of those who profess their faith in Christ, we would be eager to hear a praise report to glorify God together. If the situation remains unchanged or has worsened, please share an update so that we can persist in prayer, asking God for a genuine revival among believers.

We pray for a spirit of discernment to fall upon the church, for hearts to be truly transformed, and for the oppressed to find relief and support. May the work of Jesus Christ be evident in the actions of His followers, and may His Name be lifted high in ### and beyond.

Lord, we bring the churches in ### before Your Presence. We ask you to convict the hearts of people who come to church but are not following the way of Jesus.
