THE CURRENCY OF HEAVEN / Oh What A Book

This is the 7^th of 7 devotions with the theme from
1 Corinthians 13:6

“Love Rejoices When Truth Prevails”

This is the impartation devotion.

Father I put away from me all untruth.

I embrace the truth.

Your spirit, the Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth.

I embrace the truth of your word.

I am what it says I am.

I can do what it says I can do

and I can be what is says I can be.

(Hebrews 11:6; Hebrews 4:12)

I can take a one hundred dollar bill to Wal-Mart and redeem it for one hundred dollars worth of merchandise. Wal-mart will honor this legal tender note that is backed up by the federal government. In like manner, the word of God is the currency of heaven.

“I am what it says I am

I can do what it says I can do

and

I can be what it says I can be!”

The Word of God is our covenant with God. It is filled with one covenant after another. God is saying if you will do this, this is what I will do. The Word of God is the most powerful force on the face of the earth when it connects with faith which works by love. God is as good as His word and His word is as good as Him.

Father, thank you so much for this precious, wonderful, glorious, book - Your Holy Word. I do confess that I am what it says I am. I can do what it says I can do and that I can be what it says I can be. Your Holy Word is working mightily in me. I believe Your Word and that every word is true. I apply it to my life and I receive everything You have for me.

Speaking The Truth In Love / The Spirit Of Truth

This is the 6^th of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:6

"Love Rejoices When Truth Prevails”

(Adapted from 1 Corinthians 13:4-6; John 16:13; 2 Timothy 4:2; Galatians 5:22-23)

When I am on my way to have what I know may be a major confrontation with the potential of accusations and strife, I will pray for the Spirit of Truth. It is amazing how that prayer, on the way, changes the tone of the meeting.

"But when He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all the Truth."

I also am aware in such a confrontation that the love of God is not a passive, let's-just-get-along, sweep-it under-the-rug kind of love. The scripture instructs us to

Preach the word; be instant in season, and out of season;

reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

If I am afraid that I might lose a friendship if I speak the truth, than I am inside of fear and selfishness. The love of God in me is willing to risk the loss of a friendship in order to lead someone to what is best for them and to what is good and right in God's sight.

When we pray for the Spirit of Truth to come on a confrontation we know that when the Spirit of Truth comes, all of the fruit of the Spirit will be manifested, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness and goodness, faith and meekness and temperance. Love is not so much what we are confronting as it is how we are confronting. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-6 pretty much covers it.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

My Confession: The love of God abides in me and causes me to be humble enough to receive correction and bold enough to correct and to do so with all longsuffering and with the truths of God's Word.

THE WOMAN @ THE WELL / Love Speaks Valuable Truths

This is the 5^th of 7 devotions with the theme from
1 Corinthians 13:6

“Love Rejoices When Truth Prevails”

(Adapted from John 4:16-26)

“Sir, give me some of this water so that I may never get thirsty again or have to come to this well to draw water again!”

The rest of the conversation between the woman at the well and Jesus was all about truth. It was about the truth of her life, the truth about her purpose in life and the truth of the signs of the times.

“Go and get your husband and come back.”

“I have no husband.”

“You have spoken truth. You have had five husbands and the man you are now living with is not your husband.”

“Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain but you Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where it is proper to worship.”

“Believe me, dear woman the time is coming when it will no longer matter where you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. The time is coming when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

“I know the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything.”

“I am the Messiah!”

Love speaks valuable truths into the lives of everyone that love comes in contact with. Jesus took time to direct this woman to truth. He cared about her enough to confront her with truth. He took time to show her truth that would save her. Truth corrected her. And truth gave her purpose to live.

Lord, look into my heart like you did this woman at the well. Correct me with truth. Realign my life with truth. Challenge me with truth. I worship You. I worship You in spirit and in the reality of the times. I choose You now. I choose to worship You here in this world and in eternity to come. It is my purpose in life to worship You.

OUT OF HARLOTRY INTO HIS PRESENCE / Seek My Face

This is the 4^th of 7 devotions with the theme from
1 Corinthians 13:6

“Love Rejoices When Truth Prevail”

(Adapted from Hosea 2:14; 3:1; 9:2; 14:6-7)

Have I been an adulteress against my God? Have I turned to idols and gods to seek what I should be receiving from God? Do I receive words from doctors, philosophers, and politicians as truth, ignoring what God has to say? Have I been satisfied with the threshing floor of God’s goodness and prosperity instead of harvesting an entire field? Why do I settle for little when I can have more than enough to share with others? Have I been storing up old wine and hording it in fear that it will run out? Has the new wine failed me because of my unfaithfulness? Have I played the role of a harlot without being aware of it?

Daily I must saturate myself in the presence of the Lord to nullify the tendencies of becoming a harlot and seeking other gods. If I am not careful to clothe myself in the presence of God every day, I tend to look at my life and my situation and other’s circumstances like the world does. And when I think in the natural realm of the world, I take on harlot tendencies. Harlots turn their back on God and become satisfied with what they can gleam from the threshing floor of God’s goodness. Harlots have no self-esteem and follow after what feels good and right. Harlots are easily distracted from the grace and mercy of God that are ever available in His presence.

Why do some people pray for healing and not get healed? Why is it that my faith confessions don’t always work? Why do prayers of desperation sometimes go unnoticed or seem to fall on stony ground? Why do mishaps and mistakes come so easily? Why do I miss the mark so much?

Father, I return to the shade of the olive tree. I return to the intimate place of your presence. Daily I want to sit under the shadow of your love. Revive me and feed me with the fruit from your presence.

“Child, I will allure you and bring you back out of the wilderness. I will speak tenderly and straight to your heart. Seek me in the quietness of my presence. You will certainly find me and in finding me you will find life.”

SEEK MY FACE

(Adapted from Hosea 14:6-7; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Psalms 27:8)

Verse 1

If my people called by my name will humble themselves pray

Seek my face turn from their wicked ways

I will hear from heaven forgive their sins heal their land

If my people called by my name will humble themselves

Chorus

He has said to me seek my face

And I have said to him Lord your face I will seek (repeat)

Verse 2

Father fall on us like the morning dew

May our roots grow deep as we return to you

Father fall on us like the morning dew

May our shoots spring forth and spread abroad as we return to you

FRESH MANNA / Fresh Manna

This is the 3^rd of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:6

"Love Rejoices When Truth Prevails”

(Adapted from Romans 8:10-11; Ephesians 3:16-17)

Be blessed today with fresh manna of truth that wipes out deception and stops the constant bombardment of the world, the flesh and the enemy.

I believe the Spirit of God lives inside of me.
I believe he is present in me and ignites revelation in me constantly.
I have ears to hear what the Spirit of God is saying and revealing to me today.
I am blessed in the Name of the One who gives me life through his Spirit.
I am strengthened by His presence inside of me.
Because he indwells my innermost being and personality, I am reinforced with mighty power.
I have the power to resist the enemy, to put down my flesh and to turn my back on the world.
The Spirit of God has made his home in me and I am rooted and grounded deep in his love and founded securely in his love.

Father, I want my heart’s cry to be to know and understand that you abide in me. I no longer want to be passive and unaware of your presence but vibrant to the ways you are leading me. Thank you for teaching my spirit to come alive and lead my soul, direct and instruct me in your ways and purposes.

While you sleep through the night, He’s waiting for you.

THE GOOD LIFE / Walk the Walk

This is the 2^nd of 7 devotions with the theme

From 1 Corinthians 13:6

"Love Rejoices When Truth Prevails”

(Adapted from 1 Corinthians 13:6; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Psalms 23:3; 119:105; Colossians 3:2)

The holy life is the good life. A sinful life is based on deception and dishonesty. A life that is concentrated to God is a life based on genuineness and truth. Every violation of one of God's commandments is a violation of love and opposes truth. The root of every violation of love and truth begins in our mind. That is why the Word instructs us concerning our mind.

"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing

that exalteth itself against the knowledge of the truth,

and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

Jesus said, "I am the truth." If we follow Jesus and embrace this truth, He will lead us on a path of what is good and right in God's sight. He will lead us to God's best for us. Sin deceives a person and tries to diminish the truth. Unconfessed sin removes a person from the path of righteousness. That is why we must always line up our thoughts with the truth of the Word. We read the Word, recognize wrong thinking and cast it out of our minds. As we do this, we are bringing our thoughts into the obedience of Christ.

Father, I relinquish the reins of my life and give them to You. My instruction will not be based on the vain philosophies of man but rather on Your Word. You will not lead me into temptation but you will deliver me from evil. Your Word is truth and it is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Jesus, You are my shepherd. You are the truth and I submit to your leading me on a path of righteousness. I receive everything you have for me, as I follow Your lead.

He leads me on a path of righteousness

He leads me on a path to His very best

I set my mind upon the things above

I walk the walk and I talk the talk

I sing a new song unto the Lord

And though I walk through valleys low,

I know I will not stay

His word is a lamp to my feet,

A light to my pathway
