Real Truth…

Posted on by admin

John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW will set you free”

Often we see images in the press of the solid bars on prison cells or the sharp razor wire that incarcerates and separates people from freedom. We hear stories of brazen escapes by inmates and their subsequent recapture and return to prison. Freedom is something that we cherish and it is also something that God cherishes for his people.

This verse tells us that we each need to be set free. Many believers are unknowingly held captive every day of their lives. Their captivity is a cage formed by lies and deception caused by a lack of knowledge. The solution is simple: obtain the key that opens the prison cell. The key is simply to KNOW THE TRUTH from God’s Word.

It is important to understand that truth alone never brings freedom. It is the TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW that produces it. Jesus says we are able to know His truth and that is what sets us free. THE TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW SETS YOU FREE!

So, this week, join us as we continue in God’s Word together to KNOW TRUTH. Each day, set time aside to gain understanding from God’s Word. Let it disciple you into a new arena of freedom. Liberate yourself from the bondage of lies and deception and step up into a new-found freedom. The more you know the more you can grow so FLOURISH DAILY in His Word!

You are You…

Matthew 5:5 “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are – no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.”

As children we can all remember playing on the seesaw. At any given moment you would either be up in the air or down on the ground. If you stood carefully with a foot on each side of the center you could steadily balance the board and the ends of the seesaw became stable.

Balance is essential in life. Our days of blessing and contentment will offset the days of toil and labor. A balanced life is essential to our health but many things hinder it from happening. The ultimate solution to an unbalanced and unhappy life cannot be bought but it can be received.

Here is a key for a contented life. Simply accept who you are! Don’t act like someone else, think less of yourself or overestimate yourself. Just be you! After all you’re exactly what God wants! He wants to Bless your life.

So this week lets experience the presence of God by simply accepting ourselves. Let’s stop striving or underachieving and just be who we are. As we accept ourselves we receive a life that is a haven of contentment, peace, health and well-being. It will produce a life well beyond what we could ever afford. Today, join us in this challenge and obtain this beautiful promise over your life.

Where’s The Dream…

Matthew 2:9 “…Then the star appeared again, the same star they had seen in the eastern skies. It led them on until it hovered over the place of the child.” [MSG]

Have you ever been on a trip and suddenly realized that you are lost and don’t know where to go? The three wise men had been following their star but then it disappeared for a while! What did they do? They simply waited for its return before moving ahead.  It reappeared and successfully led them to their destination.

Often in life’s journey God places a dream in our hearts. In some seasons we are led with clear direction concerning our dream while in other seasons it seems we are not. During these times we must wait on God like the three wise men. When the dream direction re-appears we are to start moving ahead again according to God’s leading without any doubt that we are on our journey again.

This week spend time in God’s presence letting the Holy Spirit minister life back into the God dreams in your heart. The humble star that appeared to the three wise men knew exactly where to take them. Be confident that the Holy Spirit knows specifically what you are seeking from God and He will guide you safely to that destination.
