Personal Prayer
Praise God as the source of all true wisdom and discernment (Col. 2:3). Thank him for supplying his church with the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, and the ability to distinguish between spirits (1 Cor. 12:8-10). Confess those times when you have failed to discern the cultural influences that try to choke out spiritual growth and fruitfulness. Commit yourself to testing the spirits to see whether they are from God (1 Jn. 4:1). Ask God to make you more aware of the reality of spiritual warfare in your life (Eph. 6:10-12).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for acquaintances who may be exposed to the occult or New Age philosophy. Ask God to help them discern the falseness of these religions.

For the Church
Pray that God will raise up teachers in your congregation who are gifted in spiritual warfare and who can teach both children and adults how to use all the weapons of the faith against their enemy (6:13-18).

For the Kingdom
Ask God to lift the spiritual blindness from political leaders in your country, that they may make decisions that help create a wholesome and God-honoring society.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for your unsaved family members and acquaintances, that God will protect them from false teachers and lead them to the truth.
