LIFE'S PURPOSE...........DAY TWENTY FOUR

THINKING  ABOUT  MY  PURPOSE                                         DAY  TWENTY  FOUR                                    TRANSFORMED BY TRUTH     "PEOPLE NEED MORE THAN BREAD FOR THEIR LIFE; THEY MUST FEED ON EVERY WORD OF GOD" Mt. 4:4 (NLT) "GOD'S GRACIOUS WORD CAN MAKE YOU INTO WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO BE AND GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED." ACTS 20:32 (MSG)                       THE    TRUTH   TRANSFORMS  US SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS THE PROCESS OF REPLACING LIES WITH TRUTH. THE SPIRIT OF GOD USES THE WORD OF GOD TO MAKE US LIKE THE SON OF GOD. GOD'S WORD IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER WORD. IT IS ALIVE. JESUS SAID "THE WORDS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU ARE SPIRIT AND ARE LIFE" Jn 6:63 (NASB) THE BIBLE IS FAR MORE THAN A DOCTRINAL GUIDE BOOK.  GOD'S WORD, GENERATES LIFE, CREATES FAITH, PROVIDES CHANGE, FRIGHTENS THE DEVIL, CAUSES MIRACLES, HEALS HURTS, BUILDS CHARACTER, TRANSFORMS CIRCUMSTANCES, IMPARTS JOY, OVERCOMES ADVERSITY, DEFEATS TEMPTATION, INFUSES HOPE, RELEASES POWER, CLEANSES OUR MINDS, BRINGS THINGS INTO BEING, GUARANTEES OUR FUTURE FOREVER. IN DAY-TO-DAY LIVING, ABIDING IN GOD'S WORD INCLUDES THREE ACTIVITIES :- 1. I MUST ACCEPT ITS AUTHORITY. 2. I MUST ASSIMILATE ITS TRUTH. 3. I MUST APPLY ITS PRINCIPLES. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE, BUT FIRST IT MAY MAKE YOU MISERABLE. CHANGE ALWAYS NEEDS EFFORT AND SOMETIMES IS PAINFUL.                            THE  TRUTH  TRANSFORMS  ME "IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY WORD, THEN ARE YOU MY DISCIPLES INDEED; AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE." Jn.8:31-32 (KJV) WHAT HAS GOD ALREADY TOLD ME IN HIS WORD THAT I HAVE'NT STARTED APPLYING YET ?
