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!.

A gift for you, and make haste to do this!

Psalm 119:60 says: “I made haste, and delayed not to keep Thy commandments”. The ERV translation says it this way: “Without wasting any time, I hurried back to obey your commands”. David never delayed to keep God’s commandments. He was quick to listen and obey. And when he would sin and miss the mark, he was quick to repent. He made “haste” to obey. The word Haste means: “rapidity of motion, to urge on, to move or act swiftly”. In a negative way, being hasty without first doing the needed research can be destructive. However, what David was saying was that he didn’t hesitate to do God’s will and obey His commandments. He wouldn’t allow anything to cause him to delay in obeying his commandments. Delay is good when one is considering investing in something important, when one is considering getting married, when one is considering what job or business they are going to dedicate their lives to. Things like that go better when we take our time and dedicate the necessary research or training. However, when you read and obey His word, you are on sure footing! David knew that obeying God’s wisdom and commandments kept him in the righteous environment that provided life, health, provision, protection, wisdom, grace and favor. In most things, think and get research before you act.  However, never delay in obeying God’s commands. This is life and health to you!
