Day Eight The Power of Truth

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-5 NIV J esus himself is called the Word. When he speaks people listen. He never lies, rather everything that precedes from His mouth is the truth. His words are the baseline of truth for all of humanity. When God created the world, it didn’t start with physical action. He spoke the word and the world was created. Every action of God starts with a spoken word of truth. Because God is good, His plan is for each of us to know the truth. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. (Psalm 51:6 NASB) God’s beautiful creations became tainted by the introduction of a lie that felt like a truth. Jesus, The Word, was sent to earth as the living demonstration of truth embodied. It is this powerful demonstrated truth personified that reset the course of humanity Many people like to call the devil 'Ole toothless.' It is true that he is a defeated foe. Christ has triumphed over him in a complete victory. It's just a matter of time until he is permanently locked up. But, don't ever underestimate the power of a lie believed. Our enemy is a master at making a lie sound like the truth. Everyone, and I mean everyone, battles with lies of the devil. I don't care how compassionate you are,
