JESUS BRINGS LIFE AND TRUTH

John 10:10 AMPC The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

We all enjoy it when someone brings us a lovely surprise and it makes us feel good. Sometimes though we receive things from people we didn’t want - like bad news, or discouragement or unkind words.

Our verse tells us the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, he brings deceit, fear and lies, but Jesus brings life to the full, till it overflows. He brings integrity, love and truth.😊 The enemy brings confusion. Jesus brings clarity. Satan wants to distract us from our goal. Jesus guides us to it. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Satan is the wrong way, the con, the liar and deceiver.

It’s good to check we’re listening to the right voice and when we hear that things are getting worse, do we tend to despair or do we counteract it? 

We can say “The path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter, if God be for me then no one can be against me, no weapon formed against me will succeed, goodness and mercy are overtaking me.”

We can learn to react to situations or given facts, with faith not fear. The important thing is that any facts we are given can all be changed!😊 Listen to what God says in His word:

Jeremiah 32:17 Nothing is too hard for God. Luke 1:37 With God all things are possible. 

Genesis 18:14 Is anything too hard for the Lord?  Job 42:2 I know that You can do all things. 

His Word says God forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases (Psalm 103), He heals the brokenhearted, He restores our souls, that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, that God has promised to uphold, strengthen and help us. 

Those are only a few of the truths, the rock on which we stand! If the enemy has told you, you are helpless or hopeless, remember Jesus says we are more than conquerors. Let’s listen to Jesus who tells the truth!😊

Heavenly Father, No prayer is too big for You, no problem is beyond Your power, and You are working things out for the good. Thank You Jesus is bringing His truth and life, His integrity and His love into our lives. Amen.
