Let's keep our focus on group prayer. "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (Matt 18:20) Private messages are great for personal support, but sharing here allows us to agree in prayer together. Trust God's plan. "Be still before the Lord." (Ps 37:7) He's working! 
Jesus replied, "Don't let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah.' They will deceive many."
—Mark 13:5-6 NLT
Key Thought
False messiahs will be plentiful! That's Jesus' message. Even more frightening than counterfeit messiahs, many people will be hoodwinked by them and led away from the true faith. Unfortunately Jesus' words have been profoundly true through the ages. Good people have been led astray by evil or deluded leaders. Jesus doesn't want us to focus our eyes on anyone but him. All others are false.
Today's Prayer
Righteous Father, please help me see through the deception and charisma of false religious leaders. Keep my heart reserved only for your Son as my Lord. In his name, I pray. Amen.
