This will set you free!

The Lord Jesus revealed a powerful revelation of access to the Father. John 14:6 (TPT), says: “Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too”. He uses three powerful descriptions: way, truth, life. The word way means: route road, access, door. Jesus is the access to the Father. The word Truth means: actuality, fact, fidelity to a standard. Jesus is the standard of fact and truth. He is Life. We derive our life from Him. He is our source. Jesus didn’t say He is a way. He said He is THE way, THE truth, THE life. It is through union with Him that we have access to the Father. It is through Him that real truth is revealed. He is THE Truth. Through Him, we have real life. New Life. Eternal Life. Life in abundance. And as part of this new life, we also receive the privilege of adoption into His family. so be reminded today, we shall know THE truth and THE truth shall set us free!.

Do you suffer from this?

I saw a small sign which read: “Gratitude turns what we have into ENOUGH!” Wow, that is a powerful perspective. Two people eat the same meal. One was hungry and didn’t have the money to pay for it, but the restaurant owner decided to bless him with the meal, so the person was extremely grateful and thankful. The other person was upset and angry because that is not what he wanted to eat. It was the same meal. What was the difference? It was their perspective. The person that was grateful saw the value in the meal. He realized that he could not take that meal for granted. He could have gone hungry that day. Yet, God provided a wonderful meal for him via that generous restaurant owner. The other person takes every thing for granted.  Each meal, the car he drives, his health, his expensive condominium, his job and his prestige and influence. This kind of perspective lacks the appreciation of just how fortunate  we are when we are able to have the things we need or want. In truth, anything can be taken away from us in a heartbeat. People have lost everything in a fire, a flood, an earthquake, or a tsunami. Today we should really reconsider God’s blessing which is all around us if we have the right perspective! So what if we don’t have everything that we desire at this point. The important thing is that we have what we need. There are many around the world who live with very little and would greatly appreciate what we have right now! Well, are you grateful?

Ephesians 5:20 “Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
