Matthew 7 : 13-23
KJV


13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You for the work You are doing.
We thank You for working through people of all kinds
and of all vocations and through the many hearts that
know Your goodness.
We thank You for the great work led by the Lord Jesus,
who will overcome the world with patience and with gentleness.
He will overcome the world,
opening the door wide for all,
including the poorest of the poor,
to come to You,
their Father in heaven.
Grant that with the light we have been given we
may remain firm and true.
Do not let us come into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are Yours forever.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
