Today’s declaration verbalizes a promise Jesus made with an if/then condition. His promise that you will bear fruit and that your joy will be complete hangs on your decision to remain in Jesus and remain in his love through obedience. The Scripture comes from a record of Jesus’s last hours on earth with his closest friends. It was written by the disciple Jesus loved, and it is filled with encouragement for disciples like you and me.

I want you to have these reminders of the life-giving words that you can speak to drown out the lies you’ve believed. You have the power to cancel the negative effects of lies by making truth-infused, Scripture-based declarations. I designed this podcast to empower your tongue with truth, and my husband designed the graphics as a tool to help you keep these powerful phrases ever before you.

This week's scripture:

John 15:1–11
