LEAVEN: A small portion of fermented dough used to ferment other
dough and often symbolizing a corruptive influence.
Holman Bible Dictionary.
Galatians 5:9 (NLT)
This false teaching is
like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!
Matthew 16:11-12
(NLT)
11 Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread?
So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’” 12 Then
at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but
about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Father one of the great spiritual dangers we face today is the
influence of false teaching. This ancient tool of Satan, which he used from the
beginning in the Garden of Eden, has permeated the human race and perverted
your truth in every generation. It is insidious, invasive, and impairing to
spiritual health that affects our whole being.
Father we know the defense against falsehood is Your Word. Help us
to never forget or neglect the value of Your Truth revealed in Your Word.
Psalm 19:7-8 (NLT)
7 The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The
decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The
commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of
the LORD are clear, giving insight for living.
Father help us to remember the protection, power and purpose of
Your Truth. Help us to rededicate our lives to Your Word. Help us to have the
mind of Jesus in knowing You, the submissiveness of Jesus in obeying You and
the determination of Jesus in serving You. We know this will guard us from the
false teachers and the false teaching with which they endeavor to deceive us and
by which they even deceive themselves.
Father may it be said of us: “I
could have no greater joy than to hear that my children are following the
truth.” 3 John 1:4
We ask this in Jesus Name and for Your glory. Amen.
