50 MFM Prayer Points Against the Spirit of Hypocrisy:
Exhortation:
Beloved in the Lord, the spirit of hypocrisy is a subtle and dangerous snare that can easily entangle even the most well-intentioned believer. It is the act of pretending to be something we are not, of saying one thing and doing another, of displaying an outward show of righteousness while harboring inner corruption. Our Lord Jesus Christ consistently rebuked the Pharisees for their hypocrisy, highlighting the vast chasm between their outward piety and their inward wickedness. Today, let us examine our hearts honestly and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any trace of hypocrisy within us. Let us strive for genuine faith, where our words and actions align with the truth of God’s Word, and our hearts are pure before Him. Remember, God desires truth in the inward parts (). Let us cast off every form of pretense and walk in sincerity and truth, reflecting the genuine love and light of Christ to the world.
Confession:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today acknowledging our proneness to hypocrisy. We confess that at times, we have presented a facade of spirituality while our hearts were far from You. We have spoken words of faith but failed to live them out in our daily lives. We have judged others for the very things we ourselves are guilty of. We have sought the praise of men more than Your approval. Forgive us, Lord, for every instance of pretense, insincerity, and double-mindedness. Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. We desire to be authentic in our walk with You, reflecting Your truth and love in all that we do. In Jesus name, Amen.
Scripture Reading:
Please read Matthew 23:1-36. This passage contains Jesus’ strong warnings against the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of His time.
Praise and Worship:
Let us lift our voices and hearts in praise to the Lord. You can choose any praise and worship songs that resonate with your spirit and focus on the themes of truth, sincerity, and the holiness of God. Some suggestions include:
- “Holy, Holy, Holy”
- “Amazing Grace” (focusing on the transformation from our former selves)
- “Create in Me a Clean Heart”
- “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High” (acknowledging His true and righteous nature)
- “The Steadfast Love of the Lord” (trusting in His unwavering truth)
Spend some time singing these or other songs, meditating on the lyrics and offering your sincere worship to God.
