So you know the Truth
well.
By Riqui Ricón*
Forasmuch as many
have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which
are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered
them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the
word (luke 1:1-2)
The Bible, God’s
Word, is the Truth and It presents the things that between us have been so
true. The Bible is the lamp that lights the path that opens up before your
feet.
Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105)
God’s Word has the
virtue of producing faith in the believer and it has been written for your
benefit and blessing. It has been written for you to know that God does not
lie, by believing, that EVERYTHING He has said, He will do and EVERYTHING He
has spoken, He will execute.
Consequently,
faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the
word about Christ. (Romans 10:17 NIV)
This is why it is an
issue of utter safety for your life that you take strength in His Word, for
each adverse situation you face today will try to reap a lie in your heart.
Lies such as: if it’s too hard, you won’t be able to do it; it’s always the
same and it’s never going to change; you are an irresponsible loser; it can’t
be treated; it’s impossible, etc.
Jesus
said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth. (Mark 9:23)
You only need to
remember that before disobeying, Adam and Eve hesitated from God’s Word and
believed Satan’s, the old snake, lies.
And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know
that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be
as gods, knowing good and evil. (Gen. 3:4-5)
From that day until
this very moment, where you find yourself reading this, the dilemma in the
human mind keeps being the same:
-this creeping
reptile says one thing and my God and creator says another one completely different.
-which one of the two
is telling the truth?
-which one should I
believe?
And
of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not
remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old,
and thou fearest me not? (Isa 57.11).
The system of this
world (which Satan stole men and designed for his benefit), is based on deceit
and lie that, when you believe them, produced fear and anxiety. It’s purpose is
to steal your faith since with it you can believe God and you can know the
Truth and the Truth sets you free.
Then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my
disciples indeed; And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8.31-32).
The thief, Satan,
comes only to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus has come to your life to give
you the Plentiful and Abundant Life of God’s Children, Born Again: This is,
Eternal Life.
For
the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord. (Romans 6.23).
God loves you so much
that he preferred to give up His own Son, Jesus, before losing you.
For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(John 3.16-17).
Today, with Christmas
just around the corner, it is a very good moment to ponder in the fact that,
despite of how you have lived your life, the Love God feels for you is what
allows you to believe and trust that you will receive all the good promises
that He has made you in His Word.
I have seen his ways,
and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to
his mourners. I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far
off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord;
and I will heal him. (Isa 57.18-19).
God is good and
faithful to His Word. He loves you so much that, through Jesus’ Sacrifice, He
paid all your debt and by His resurrection he endowed you of that New Nature
for which He can call you His Son (Daughter) today.
SEE HOW VERY MUCH our heavenly Father loves us, for he
allows us to be called his children—think of it—and we
really are! But since most people don’t know God, naturally they
don’t understand that we are his children. (1 John 3:1 TLB)
Loved one, convince
yourself that the world and his system based on fear, anguish and damnation
will always fight against you trying to submit you to their lies. This is like
that because you, just like Jesus, are not of this world and you now know the
Truth.
I have given them thy
word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as
I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the
world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through
thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17.14-17).
If you can Believe
God, for EVERYTHING is possible to those who believe.
Let’s pray out loud:
Dear heavenly Father,
in this day I want to manifest to you how grateful I am for having given me
Your Word, the Bible as a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Thank you
because it is Your Word of Honor and I can trust completely in You. Lord Jesus
thanks to what you did for me I now am a Child of the Father just like You are.
With Your death in the cross and Your beautiful Blood, spilled till the last
drop, for Love to me, you paid all my sins given me justification; with Your
resurrection you have given me a New Nature: Your Nature, as a Child of God, and
I have the victory upon death, for the pay of sin is death but the gift of the
Father is You, Jesus, Eternal Life! In Jesus Christ, I, _______________________
(your name here), am just, am holy and eternal. Therefore, beloved Lord Jesus,
I will not fear but I will believe. I am who You say in Your Word, the Bible I
am: in ALL things I am more than a conqueror, for I can do ALL in Christ who
strengthens me.I am a Child of God, Born Again, and I have conquered, for
greater is the Holy Spirit who is in me than the one who is in the world! By
Your Word, I am healthy! I am free! I am prosperous! I will live what’s rest of
this year and my life, which is eternal, in the love, joy and peace that only I
can have, for I know, without any doubt, that I am a Child of the King. In
Jesus’ name. Amen.
Note of importance:
How do I become a
Child of God? How do I establish my relationship with the Almighty?
Simply say this
prayer, placing all of your attention and heart into what you’re saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe
that you are the Son of God. That you came to this world from the Virgin Mary
to pay for all of my sins, and I have been a sinner. This is why today I tell
you, I accept. I accept your sacrifice on the cross! Yes, I accept Your
precious Blood, spilled to the very last drop, out of love for me! I open my
heart to you and invite you in, because I want you, oh Lord Jesus, to be my one
and only Savior, my God, my King, my Lord. Thank you, God Almighty, for with
this simple prayer and declaration of faith I have come from death to Life, I
have been displaced from the shadows and into Your marvelous Light. Today I
have been Reborn! God I am now Your Child! You are now my Father! I will never
again be alone! Never again will I live defeated. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
