Sin! Plain and simple

It's time to live in victory!

FREEDOM

TRUTH

Anything less than the truth

Seriously! Get A Grip!

Did you ask God first?

"... David inquired of the Lord, "Shall I pursue this raiding party?  Will I overtake them?"

"Pursue them," he answered.  "You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue."

1 Samuel 30:8

When you inquire of, as well as wait on his answer, before   (emphasis on 'before') you set out on a mission, you can be guaranteed what he tells you is the truth.  Therefore, until you hear from God, stay put! If you don't, you may fall before you even begin to walk.    

Truth is truth

ASK STEVE: WHAT IS TRUTH?

Finding your purpose (continued...)

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

-John 8:32 NIV

COME CLEAN

Until you come clean with God, yourself, spouse, better-half, family, and friends, you'll never get to where God wants you to be; until you clean out the paralyzation of sin within, you will never have enough room for the Light of Christ and his amazing plan for your life.

Where real truth and wisdom are found.

"... You don't need any of their so-called teaching.  Christ's anointing teaches you the truth on everything you need to know about yourself and him, uncontaminated by a single lie..."

-2 John 2: 26-27 MSG

Let not the world tell you who you are - for they know not!  However, God does, and he will tell you all you need to know about yourself, your purpose, your meaning... ask him to teach you.

Stay out of the world - stay in Christ.

Love tells the truth

Love does not manipulate

I'm bankrupt without love

"... So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end."

1 Corinthians 13:3-7 MSG

God keeps his word, the world does not

"... Depend on it:  God keeps his word even when the whole world is lying through its teeth." Romans 3:2-6 MSG

Hold fast to God, not the world in which your flesh dwells, as the world in which your flesh dwells will only kill and destroy.  Whereas the God in which your heart should hold fast to and depend on will give you life in abundance until it overflows (John 10:10) -  this you can depend on!

Who's the real fool?

“… you didn’t lie to men, but to God.”  

Acts 5:1-2

My friends, let’s get real, let’s give up our façades, let’s stand up to the plate and start telling the truth.  It is time to seek God’s approval - not our own, not man’s.  

Remember, when we are playing fake, when we are lying, and when we are running from the truth, there is only one being fooled – and that one fool is ourselves.

The FULL armor of God

‘ … Ephesians 6:10, “Put on the whole armor of God.”  This is the action.  This is something we must intentionally and consciously do, daily…’ 

-Jena Morrow, Hollow

We must put on the FULL armor of God, (belt of truth, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, breast plate of righteousness, and the gospel of peace), daily – purposefully, intentionally, and consciously.  Otherwise, when evil hits us (sickness, worry, fear, doubt, lack, hatred, anger, discouragement, addiction, depression, etc.) we won’t have the strength to stand and fight; we won’t have the strength to be the glorious, victorious, children of God that we are supposed to be.  

So, before you dress yourself on the outside make sure to dress yourself on the inside with God being the first and foremost part of your attire!!

Blessings in disguise

+Blessings in disguise

"…yet our God turned the curse into a blessing.”  Nehemiah 13:2

Whatever seemingly seems to be cursing (plaguing, ailing) you right now is not what it seems!!

Remember, the Word of God is truth; God never lies! Therefore, if you are a believer in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and remain steadfast and faithful to Him, then this so-called, curse, will soon be your triumphant blessing in disguise.

Truth always triumphs

“… everyone who swears [speaks truth] by Him shall glory [triumph], for the mouths of those who speaks lies shall be stopped.” Psalm 63:11

If the words that come out of your mouth are anything but truth, then maybe those words shouldn’t be spoken. 

Remember, the consequences of our words (good or bad) are always sure to follow.

 

Simple and honest

"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God.  Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth.  That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship..." John 4:23-24 MSG

Simple and honest: Two characteristics that touch the heart of God.

Embrace truth! Love peace!http://www.rhythmicjourneys.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Strongest-Among-Us-8.2.15-940x609.jpg

"... Tell the truth, the whole truth, when you speak. Do the right thing by one another, both personally and in your courts.  Don't cook up plans to take unfair advantage of others.  Don't do or say what isn't so... Keep your lives simple and honest." 

"EMBRACE TRUTH! LOVE PEACE!"

Zechariah 8:14-17, 18-19 MSG
