KNOWING THE WAY OF TRUTH

Knowing where we are from, realizing our true identity as Christians and Children of God who are filled with the Spirit from above and anointed for the growth of His advancing Kingdom, makes us speak honestly like Christ, different from the sinful sons and deceived daughters of men. This sometimes gives rise to persecuting questions coming from those who are stumbling in the flesh and stubborn to the Truth, even while it's made known to them; "hearing, they do not hear" (John 9:29 & Matt. 13:11-16).

Being blessed to know who we are as valid Heirs of the Father, gives us the Divine confidence needed to declare the Truth of God's Word for the Salvation of souls and encourage repentance while giving hope to the hopeless, so that the faith of many may be strengthened in Christ. Even then, those who reject the Good News declared in Love, are only revealing their ignorance of God's existence, or hard-heartedness. So, we mustn't allow their reactions to distract us from the fulfillment of our Calling; rather, we should always remain focused on our Heavenly goal and we will surely live to please the Father, glorifying Him as vessels of His handiwork on Earth.

PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father, for helping me, as Your Child, to realize where I came from and granting me the true knowledge of Your Kingdom where my hope lies. Please, keep me focused and strengthened to walk with integrity to the end, so I may remain fruitful and deserving of Your Kingdom in Jesus' name,

Amen.

From John 8:14

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Jesus Christ is Light to the increasingly dim world, directing and shining on all who faithfully receive Him so that Believers may remain guided by the Holy Spirit along the path of Truth and Righteousness, being graciously protected from shadows of death inflicted by the forces of darkness because of the sins of men (Ps. 119:105, Isa. 9:2, 1 John 1:7). 

Christ, being one with God, is the Light who gives Life which lasts, making us Christians, serving Him in Truth and Spirit, to live sustained in the abundance of His grace and glory through the Holy Spirit in us as vessels of Light on Earth, triumphant on the narrow Way (John 1:4 & 9:4-5).

Although God's Light is eternal, giving Life to all for a time, we should realize that following Him closely and walking honestly while able, keeps the Sons and Daughters of the Day away from terrors at Night, overcoming disease and death to likewise rise from the grave (John 12:35, 1 John 1:5, 1 Thess. 5:5, Ps. 91:5-8).

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank You, LORD, Glorious Father, for Your Light in and around me, made manifest by The Holy Spirit keeping me strengthened to continually proclaim the Gospel of Salvation so that as many as receive Your Word may be awakened out of gloom to live forever in everlasting light,

Amen (Isa. 60:19-20)!

From John 8:12

FAR FROM SIN

The Good News reveals the Love of God to all, that as many as are brought before Jesus Christ, who believe and receive Him, in repentance from their past sins, will definitely be saved by Him; for, "while we were still sinners, He died for us," (John 3:16, Rom. 5:8, Heb. 9:28). Also, God's Love is so great that He never wishes to destroy lives, nor condemn anyone; rather, through our faith in Christ Jesus we remain safe and preserved as Heirs of the Father who is patient until the end (Luke 9:56, John 3:17, 2 Pet. 3:9).

Therefore, having been redeemed by grace, we have no reason to return to sin which only results in condemnation and worse consequences; still, we should remain faithfully committed to the growth of His advancing Kingdom while living for His glory, as citizens of Heaven on Earth (John 5:14, Heb. 10:26-27).

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, for I am safe in Your hands, protected from the accuser of the brethren. Please keep me strengthened by the Holy Spirit to forgive and love people as I remain forgiven and determined to live for Your glory in Christ Jesus, Your Son,

Amen (1 John 3:5-10 & Psalm 103).

From John 8:11 (Verse not added to the original text.)

JUDGING ANOTHER

Having been born of the Spirit as chosen vessels ordained by the LORD, serving in His Vineyard, we are graciously given the right to judge righteously through the Holy Spirit as the True Judge who dwells in us (1 Cor. 2:15). Even when the Law allows us to declare judgment as witnesses to a crime, we should always remember, "to err is human and to forgive is Divine;" besides, no one conceived of the flesh is righteous; yet, by faith in Christ Jesus, we are justified (Deut. 17:6-9, Ps. 143:2, Matt. 6:14, Gal. 2:16). 

Also, while we are being placed in priestly positions of authority to judge and cast out, we must be willing to remain in right-standing with God, living and walking in the Spirit so that the LORD may make known His righteous judgment on all brought before us, not merely our flesh pronouncing condemnation on them; for whenever a man condemns another, he also brings forth condemnation against himself, as only the Spirit is the Perfect Judge of all (Rom. 2:1, Ps. 51:5, 1 Pet. 1:15-17).

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Jesus Christ, for I'm redeemed by grace through receiving Your Word and precious blood, which makes those seeking to condemn me powerless at the declaration of Your Word. Please continue to set me apart for use in purifying your body; blessed be Your Holy Name,

Hallelujah!

From John 8:7 (Verse not added to the original text.)

UNIQUE IN SPEECH

We are unique, set apart from the sons of men, as faithful Christians and Heirs of the Father in Christ Jesus our LORD; for our characters, guided by the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit and shown by the words of our mouths, tamed by God, astonish others at the manifestation of the Almighty in our lives (Matt. 13:54). This gives rise to more testimonies coming from persecutors of our faith, as well as those who have a personal encounter with us, His chosen vessels, who are favored by men (Luke 4:22).

Although, doubts may arise from those rejecting the Truth, still the unique character of a true Child of God being, not of the world but Divinely endowed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, as Sons and Daughters of His Kingdom, advancing with Good News, "will be proclaimed in the whole earth, for a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come (Matt. 24:14)."

PRAYER: Thank You in LORD Jesus' Name, Ever-Gracious Father, for making me uniquely special with the gift of the Holy Spirit, through faith in Your Firstborn Son in whose authority I'm made courageous to proclaim Your Salvation; may the redemption of souls come through Your Word, sharp in the mouth you made to bring Life,

Amen.

From John 7:46

DIVIDED BECAUSE OF CHRIST

Having received Christ and living for Him as ambassadors of the Kingdom makes us unique as Sons of God. This confuses the kingdom of darkness; in retaliation they divide those around us, being weakened in the Spirit, with uncertainty concerning our identity in Christ (John 7:12). Sometimes our calling brings about denial or separation between loved ones because many are not ready to change and in their minds, those who are born again are deemed different, undeserving of their favor and support (Luke 12:52-53).

Being rejected by others shouldn't stop us from living to the fullest in God's service, for it's only a trial of our faith. Besides, the LORD is with us and no harm will befall us, for He is our strength and shield, being our very present help in times of need, protecting and delivering us from all evil so that we may live solely to the fulfillment of His Divine mandate on Earth (Psalms 28:7-8 & 46:1).

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank You, Heavenly Father, for keeping me safe from harm, captivity and every manipulation of the wicked, as I endlessly declare Your Salvation to the World. Please, continue to gracefully preserve me so that I may never fear men nor fall, yet remain vindicated as the Redeemed of the LORD,

Amen.

From John 7:43-44

THE PROPHET & KING'S SEED

The Divine knowledge of God's Word makes all who abide by it realize the truth that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah, Prophet, and Seed, given by the LORD for the Redemption of mankind (2 Sam. 7:12, Gal. 3:16, Deut. 18:15 & 18). This builds our faith in the Savior of the World, even as we listen to the Good News proclaimed through His vessels while we faithful and true Christians know and experience His Love and presence in our lives (John 6:69). 

Being the promised Seed who defeated Satan, He is also the righteous King ordained by the LORD to rule over principalities and powers, sworn to subdue the kingdom of darkness for the Salvation of all who believe and receive Him (Gen. 3:15, Psa. 132:11, Jer. 23:5).

PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father, for granting me the grace to keep on experiencing Your Love through Your Word by the Holy Spirit who lives in me; for in this I have a blessed assurance of Divine Salvation, overcoming doubts and fears as my faith is strengthened, in Jesus' mighty name,

Amen (1 John 5:13).
