Walking in Truth

Who are you truly following? Is your life dictated by Jesus or is it dictated by the opinions and fears of the world? Pastor Johnny teaches you today to not only know of Jesus and His Word, but to be proud of it. Be a student of the Bible that radiates from the knowledge found in it. Let the goodness of God’s Word inspire and flow through you so that it might inspire and flow through others. Don't hide the greatness of Jesus, but instead, share and discuss it with others. Be a smart and respectful mouthpiece for God’s Kingdom.

What things are getting in the way of your discipleship with Christ? Why do you allow those things to pull you away from Him? Do you believe those things can offer you more? Today Pastor Johnny teaches you that nothing in this life is more important than getting right with Jesus. He's the only decision you must make that'll effect your eternity. The things of this world will be lost forever the day you die, but if you fail to choose Him, you'll find yourself in an eternity apart from Him.

Have you grasped the true relevance of the cross? Do you understand just how amazing it is that Jesus died for you and your sins? Today, Pastor Johnny reminds you of Jesus, the cross, and how important the crucifixion is. The day you were born, you became separated from God due to the sin ingrained in you. To provide a bridge back to Him, God sent His Son to the cross. Now through Jesus, God’s Kingdom is available to you once again. Accept Him into your heart and let the burden of sin be passed to Him.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that you're too little to help God. Throughout the Bible, there are many stories of seemingly irrelevant people being used by God for massive things. Pastor Johnny teaches you today that God can and will use anyone who allows Him to. By simply allowing yourself to be an available servant for God’s Kingdom, you can change people’s lives. Be a servant of Jesus. Commit some time to go and help others. Be a person that shows the characteristics of Christ to your church and community.

To serve the Lord, all you need to do is acknowledge Him and ask Him to do His works through you. Today, Pastor Johnny encourages you to be a servant . He challenges you to take time from your busy schedule and to use it to serve God’s Kingdom. Make yourself available to others in your church. Find ways to serve and bless them. Think on who Jesus is and what He's done for you and allow Him to inspire you. Though it may come at a cost of time and money the return in blessings will be two- fold.

Are you accomplishing the works that God has asked you to, or are you only concerned with fulfilling the jobs that you consider “successful”? Pastor Johnny reminds you today that God has a purpose for your life. Pursuing that purpose will bring you closer to God, provide you with fulfillment, and it will contribute to the Kingdom of Jesus. Don't allow yourself to sway from God’s Will. Find His desires for your life and ask the Holy Spirit to provide you with the strength to achieve them. Live the life you were created to live.

Has your faith in Jesus brought out the mockers? Maybe people at work have made fun of your “goody- two- shoes” ways or perhaps family members look down on your beliefs. Pastor Johnny encourages you to continue walking the good walk in spite of the mockers. He reminds you that Jesus is your King and that He's good. Be a light to His Kingdom and with time, you'll find that many of the mockers will seek out your guidance. When hard times hit them, they'll remember that you offered hope.

Demons are real and if you open yourself up to them, you'll be haunted by them. Pastor Johnny warns you today of demon possession and teaches you that it's real. Drugs, unholy sex, and meditation are all things that people purposely or accidentally have used to bring demons into their lives. As a Christian, you're protected, but also a target for the possessed. Allow the Holy Spirit to use you as a vessel to fight the demonic things in this world and be a light for the Kingdom that shines away that darkness.

Satan is here to kill, steal, and destroy. Knowing this, it's crucial to place Jesus as the authority in your life. Pastor Johnny teaches you today that Satan has nothing on Jesus. There's no equality between the two nor is there any struggle between them. Jesus has already won and the devil's only allowed a presence because Christ allows it. A day will come though, where this will no longer be the case. All who failed to follow Jesus will be cast away from His presence forever, left to an eternity in darkness and despair.

Others will be angered by your relationship with Jesus. They'll be insulted by the idea that they're destined for hell and you're not. Pastor Johnny challenges you today to not be discouraged by those who speak against Jesus. Don't dispute or become cruel with them if they don't believe. Instead, be kind, gracious, and loving to them. Be a positive light in their life and when the day comes when they ask about your kindness, tell them it's because of Jesus. Then, through you, they'll come to understand His goodness.
