FREEDOM AND JOY THROUGH THE TRUTH

June 12

hampion of the Truth, here is a new name for you! There is a passage of scripture which says, "Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." (Isaiah 59:14) What does it mean to say, "truth is fallen in the street?" This is a sad passage where the Children of the King often lose sight of the importance that each believer truly must love the Truths of God which when acted upon and lived out in the life of the Child of God truly release the mighty power of the Holy Spirit in his/her life. This release of the precious Holy Spirit provides multifold blessings in the life of the believer. Some of these are: As the Child of God consciously decides, "I will walk in the Truth of God in every aspect of my life and practice as a Christian." This decision is extremely pleasing to your Father in Heaven! There are many references in the word of God to the "truths" of God activated in the lives of His children. In fact, the importance of this becoming a reality is at the very center of the successful Christian walk. All the works of Satan are based in promoting lies and deceit into the minds and thoughts of Christians. He is the "Father of lies," and everything that makes a lie. (John 8:44) For this reason, Satan cannot deal in matters of the truth of God. He must push his lies into your lives so that he seeks to undermine and redirect your thinking away from God's precious "promises which cannot be broke!" (Titus 1:2) The Evil One knows that if you once accept the Life of Truth and a lifestyle of walking in that joyful transparency before God and your fellow men and women, he will never have any successful influence or evil structures built up in your life. He knows that if you decide to live in truthfulness and openness before your Father and before your fellow men and women, you will not swallow his lies--- in fact, you will become insulated by the Holy Spirit of your Father in Heaven to strongly and clearly recognize when the Enemy is attempting to promote his devious and evil schemes against you and you loved ones. Beloved, it would be greatly to your best interest to make the following commitment to the Lord God of Heaven: "Father, I deny in the strong name of Jesus, all sick, evil, twisted, deceiving lies of the Devil in my life! I commit to you my mind, body and spirit. I will walk in truth before you, convinced that this "walk in Truth" is the highest and most God--- pleasing way that I can conduct my life and practice in my Christianity! I do this in and through the great name of the Lord Jesus, amen!" Beloved, if you will determine to hold tightly to this commitment, and if you will love the truth always, you will never lack for the blessings of God showered upon you and your household!

Father knowing, speaking and living the truth is truly important to you. To me it must be a life and death situation so that I can discover this and live in it. Help me to truly love your truth and live in it every day of my life in Jesus' name, amen!
