Believe My Word

Believe all things that I say. Don’t be like Adam and Eve, who didn’t believe and obey. I have the word of truth for a prosperous life here and beyond. Don’t be swayed by words without power. My words are backed by my power. They have the innate ability to produce what I command. Trust my words. Meditate on my words. Remember that my truth, my word, will set you free. Don’t be distracted by all the words floating around you. Ask for discernment to be able to know a truth from a lie. If you line up with my word and only obey my word, you will not be led astray. Believe my word. Believe in my son for he is truth. I sent him to save you from all the lies and evil around you. I gave you my Word—my son. Believe him, and you will live.

The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die.” - Genesis 2:16-17 NASB

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it. – John 1:1-5 NASB

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. - John 14:6, NKJV

Cree en todo lo que digo. No seas como Adán y Eva, que no creyeron ni obedecieron. Tengo la palabra de verdad para una vida próspera aquí y en el más allá. No te dejes llevar por palabras sin poder. Mis palabras están respaldadas por mi poder. Tienen la capacidad innata de producir lo que yo ordeno. Confía en mis palabras. Medita en mis palabras. Recuerda que mi verdad, mi palabra, te hará libre. No te distraigas con todas las palabras que flotan a tu alrededor. Pide discernimiento para poder distinguir una verdad de una mentira. Si te alineas con mi palabra y solo obedeces mi palabra, no te desviarás. Cree en mi palabra. Cree en mi hijo porque él es la verdad. Lo envié para salvarte de todas las mentiras y el mal que te rodea. Te di mi Palabra, mi hijo. Créele y vivirás.

El Señor Dios le ordenó al hombre: «De todo árbol del jardín podrás comer, pero del árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal no comerás, porque el día que de él comas, ciertamente morirás». - Génesis 2:16-17 NVI

En el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios. En el principio estaba con Dios. Todas las cosas por medio de él fueron hechas, y sin él nada de lo que ha sido hecho, fue hecho. En él estaba la vida, y la vida era la luz de la humanidad. Y la luz brilla en las tinieblas, y las tinieblas no la dominaron. – Juan 1:1-5 NVI

Jesús le respondió: «Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie viene al Padre sino por mí.» - Juan 14:6

Devotional

Son-rising

We are overwhelmingly aware of all sorts of things. Today’s technological advances have aided the delivery of despairing news from all around the world—tragedies, threats of war, and terrorism that attempt to consume us. It camps in our mind, affects our behaviors and influences our words. The darkness that surrounds us is thick. The darkness within, even thicker. It often feels like nothing can penetrate this oppression.

Yet, there is hope.

Matthew 2:1-2 says that at the time of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the east saw Jesus’ star rising in the sky. There was a star rising but it wasn’t an earthly star. It was the bright and morning star.

The Son was rising.

These wise men were following ‘His’ star in the night sky. They were used to that. God spoke to them in a way they understood. These spiritual priests or advisors were also known as magi, experts in astronomy, astrology, and natural science. But on that grand day when Jesus was born, God led them to the most glorious Light the earth has ever known. And it wasn’t the star in the sky. They were led to Jesus Himself, the hope for a world caught in the throes of darkness.

Jesus is …

The star that ushers hope into our broken and desperate souls.

The star that reveals the authority of truth amidst the tyranny of confusion.

The star that heals with His presence as torment releases its grip.

The magi witnessed for themselves that the true Light of the world had come. The sun, the moon and the stars paled in comparison to the Light that dispels spiritual darkness. By nature, Jesus’ life brings hope, healing, and the revelation of truth.

When His Light comes, darkness must flee.

Darkness is hard at work being what it is. Darkness doesn’t understand how to be light. All it knows, lives and breathes is darkness—an oppressive darkness that keeps us blind and chained. But, take heart. Even if there is devastation and destruction all around you, the Son is rising with healing in His wings.

The Son is rising in the hearts of many seekers.

If you’ve been looking to the lesser lights of this world for counsel and comfort and still feel darkness nipping at your heels, all you have to do is allow the true Light to enter your heart. His Light will shine in you and through you.

The Hebrew name for Jesus is Yeshua, which means, “the Lord is salvation.”

Reach out for Him in faith, even in the midst of darkness.

Your rescuer is near.
