TRUTH IS THE WORD OF GOD
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17) .
The world doesn’t know what truth is. In fact, when Jesus stood before Pilate and declared that He came to bear witness to the truth, Pilate was confused and asked, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). But the Lord Jesus already gave the answer; truth is the Word of God. To live in the truth, therefore, is to live in the Word just as walking in the truth is walking in the Word.
That’s why you must open yourself to the ministry of the Holy Spirit to teach you God’s truths. He’s the Spirit of truth sent by the Father to guide you into all truth (John 16:13). He unveils the truth about life, about God, about the Kingdom, and about you. He unveils the realities of life to you, and truth is reality.Theology & Religious Study
Facts may change, but truth is eternal. And the key to becoming truth-conscious is meditating on the Word. As you meditate on the Word, your spirit is trained and filled with truth, making it a trustworthy guide. The Word you’ve deposited into your spirit becomes readily available, always present, always alive and ready to rise to the surface whenever you need it.
Therefore, live in the truth by living the Word. Living the Word is doing the Word. We’re Word practitioners, and that’s where the blessing is: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves… But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:22-25).
CONFESSION
I live in the truth, walk in the truth, and meditate daily on the truth—God’s Word. And by the Spirit of truth, I’m guided in God’s perfect will for my life, manifesting fruits and works of righteousness as I live in the consciousness of my heritage, blessings and divine realities in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”
