The Word of God

For several days God has been reminding me of the spirit of deceit and deception that is rampant in our world today. There is strong evidence of the mixture of truth and false religion. Many people (both believers and non-believers) are being duped into believing many things that are untrue concerning their relationship with God. We must be careful concerning our walk with God. We must be alert to the tactics of the enemy which seeks to lead us astray from the principles of truth. Truth is not a negative concept. Jesus said that the truth would bring freedom to our lives. Some people live under the mistaken view that truth brings bondage and restrictions which will hinder our life. Truth will bring the true freedom which liberates us and brings us into a relationship with God which enhances and releases our life rather than restricting our life. The idea of restriction is one that this culture seeks to deposit in our thought process; it plays to the fleshly side of our existence and independence. We seek to be independent in our thinking; this independence in and of itself does not create a problem until it leads us down the path of defining our own view and definition of truth. This generation must cry out for the declaration of truth to be spoken in our lives. We need spiritual leaders who are not intimidated when it comes to speaking the truth. I am not encouraging the imposition of legalism but I am praying for the release of a hunger for truth among the people of God. We need to be alive in Christ and realize that the Word of God was spoken and written for our benefit. The Word of God will bring direction and guidance if we will submit and surrender our lives to its principles. Oh God, reveal your truth to me today so that I will live in agreement with your principles.
