Prayer against deception in ministry. Righteous
Father, You are holy, and Your Word is truth.
I come before You with a surrendered heart, asking
for protection from all forms of deception in
the work of ministry. Lord, Your Word warns,
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers,
masquerading as apostles of Christ, and no wonder.
for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of
light." 2 Corinthians 11, 13, 14. So I ask you
to guard me from spiritual deception, from within
and without. Let no pride, ambition, tradition
or emotion distort what you've called me to do.
Search my heart, O God, purify my motives. Cleanse
my spirit of any desire to impress, compete or
control. Let my ministry not be built on charisma,
numbers, or human wisdom, but on the solid rock
of Christ and Your Word. Your Word declares,
Not many of you should become teachers, because
you know that we who teach will be judged more
strictly. James 3 verse 1 Keep me from teaching
error, even unintentionally. Let the fear of
the Lord always rest on me, and the Holy Spirit
guide every word I speak, sing, write, or lead.
Let my doctrine be sound, my lifestyle pure,
and my heart humble before you. I renounce every
spirit of manipulation, flattery, and false prophecy.
Every counterfeit move, performance spirit, or
deception disguised as revelation. Every dependence
on signs or sensationalism instead of truth.
Father, raise up in me the spirit of discernment.
First, John 4 -1. Help me to test every spirit,
weigh every word, and align everything with your
scriptures. Surround me with voices that sharpen
me, not flatter me. Correct me when I drift.
Rebuke me if I stray. Let my ministry never outgrow
my intimacy with you. Let my platform never be
bigger than my character. Let everything I do
point to Jesus Christ alone, the way, the truth,
and the life. John 14 .6 In the name of Jesus,
amen.
