Jerry Savelle's devotional for today is excellent!
WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
So that they may know the truth, and that they may come
to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by
him to do his will (2 Timothy 2:25-26 NKJV).
The only thing that can break the chains of bondage is the
truth. And the only valid source of truth is God’s Word.
Satan has kept the Body of Christ in darkness by blinding
the hearts and minds of God’s people to the truth of who they really are in
Christ: “Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe,
lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine on them” (2 Corinthians 4:4 NKJV).
The enemy wants to put blinders over your eyes so that you
cannot see who you really are in Christ. One tool the enemy uses to create
blinders is religious tradition. Jesus said religious tradition makes the Word
of God of no affect in one’s life (see Matthew 7:13). The only thing that
can expose the enemy’s blinders and set you free from any bondage you are
experiencing is the truth.
The definition of truth is “the highest form of
reality that exists". Therefore, the Bible is the highest form of reality that
exists. Jesus said, “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you
free” (John 8:32 NKJV).
It stands to reason that the more truth you know, the
greater freedom you will enjoy. God is not hiding truth from you; he has placed
it on every page of His Word, from Genesis to Revelation. If you are hungry
enough for freedom, then you’ll get into God’s Word.
And if you abide in that Word, the truth will make you free!
Confession: I am a child of God, and I abide in God’s
Word. I declare that no weapon formed against me will prosper as my heart and
mind is open to God’s truth, and I walk in complete freedom.
AMEN! Remember that JESUS said this in John 17:17:17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.
No matter what things look like, God's Word is ALWAYS the TRUTH! Count on it! Learn it,, know it, speak it and expect HIS results! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
