Guiding Scripture: Romans 16:17-18, “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.”

🔴 Don’t Be so Naïve

Written by: Detria Moore

I’m an intercessor. I love praying. I’m also one of those people who have vivid dreams almost every night. So when the Lord gives me dreams about prayer, I take special notice.

Two years ago, I had a dream. In my dream, the Lord was speaking directly to me. He wanted me to pray for people, especially to pray that people would come to Him. I started praying for the lost and those in the world, but He stopped me and started directing my prayers toward Christians—those of us who are saved, born again, believers.

I was confused. “Lord, we already know; we’re already saved,” I exclaimed. But the Lord reiterated to pray for those in the church first.
