Deuteronomy 32:4; Judges 17:6; Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 5:21; 1 John 3:18-21; John 8:31-32, 14:16-17, 16:13-14; 1 Peter 5:8; John 8:32, 10:10; Revelation 21:5; John 12:50; Psalm 119:160; 2 Samuel 7:28; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Proverbs 12:17; Psalm 85:11; John 8:36; Isaiah 30:21; 2 Timothy 2:14-16; Mark 4:22-25; 1 Corinthians 13:11; 1 Chronicles 4:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Luke 18:1; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 13:12


We are walking in today:  What truth are you walking in?


Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.  Fiveamprayer let us establish ourselves in the truth of His word.  In these days many don't think that there is an absolute truth, and people are making up their own truth. This is not new, as it says in Judges 17:6 , In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.  Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  People are living their lives selfishly, saying they have a right to live their own life, but Isaiah 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!  Man justifies their belief, by saying there is no God.  We must be established in the truth.  Doing what is right in the sight of the LORD Yahweh.  John commends the elders in second and third John, I rejoice greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.  I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.  Walking in love, being aware of false doctrine.  Following what is good and not evil.  We walk in the truth, by knowing, speaking and acting on what God says is truth.  1 John 3:18-21 18) My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19) And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20) For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. Pilate asked Jesus, what is truth?  Even though he said that he found no fault in Him.  Let's look at what truth is: truth is absolute, trustworthy, steady; the truth remains the same.  Truth is the absent of lies.  Truth is a moral and personal characteristic of God, truth is a very important concept, because God is the God of truth, who speaks and judges truly.  He is the real source and cause of the whole universe; and we see this characteristic in God the Father, in Jesus, and in Holy Spirit.  Jesus tells us how to know the truth John 8:31-32 31) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.   It is the truth that you know, that makes you free.  Jesus said that there is no truth in the devil.  You have to remember Adam and Eve fell into this trap.  Peter tell us in, 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.  Coming to you with questions concerning what God has said, he even tried this with Jesus, but Jesus defeated him with the word of God.  The Holy Spirit is the truth.  John 14:16-17 16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  He guides believers into all truth.  John 16:13-14 13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.  There seem to be so many gray areas, in the world today, but God's word is the truth.  His word is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  So let us establish ourselves in the truth of His word!!  Remember, just like Jesus defeated the devil in the wilderness by saying, "it is Written," we have to know the truth of His Word--we too can defeat the devil, with God's word!!  Yea and Amen!!
God's word is true to all generations.  What truth are you walking in?!  We are to worship Him in spirit and in truth.  He has given us all that we need.  Are you speaking His word?  For comfort to the brokenhearted or power to overcome the tricks of the enemy--seek His word.  For those that are looking for liberty, freedom look to Him who supplies it all--John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.  That is how we can walk around free of the ways of the world.  No longer in bondage to the lies!!  His Word comes to give us life, and that more abundantly!!  John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  So we have in this scripture alone attributes of the Son as well as the tools of the devil.  That is why reading the word is so important, we have got to know what His word says, He gave it to us for our study.  Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.  To be able to know Him better, to know what to do, where to turn.  The abundant life that Christ brings us includes better understanding of the Father.  John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. Who wants things that seem one way and really are the other?!  No one is looking for a loving father to trick and mistreat them!!  So get a clear look at the loving, patient God that we serve!  He gave us His only begotten Son and the Comforter to help us through.  And we want to be wise in our own eyes?!  As Pastor Taffe said on yesterday that we can not impress God.  He is the highest of the high.  No name above His name!  Never changing, holding true to His word.  Always in agreement, not one way today and another tomorrow.  He is constant.  Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.  2 Samuel 7:28 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant.  Why take on the varied, flawed truth of the world, that each person can bend to suit him?!  So then who's truth is really true?  The neighbor down the street?  The person sitting at the traffic light?  Who has a word that is proven through the ages?  Spoke all things into existence?  Holds all things in place and order?  Certainly not man nor the things created by the hands of man!!  Only the most high, the one and only, the greatest of the great,  the omnipresent God!  No more questions of who to follow, or what is real, hold to the word--the Bible.  If you are in doubt, stand on the Rock that will not crumble, nor fail!  You shall know the truth, fiveamprayer and He will make you free!  You have been called into all truth.  The question is, are you walking in the truth?!  Who or what are you worshiping?  What are you doing that is against His word?  Once you now the truth, your are responsible to operate in that knowledge.  The devil will bring up questions in an attempt to cause doubt.  Read the word, be clear on what God said, there is no confusion in His word.  1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.  So that confusion is not of God.  Seek out answers to the confusion in the Word--it will lead, guide and direct you!  We are not of this world, fiveamprayer!!  Walk in the God given word and knowledge, not trusting in your own intellect.  Not trusting in that faulty, fickle unsure thing!  Hold to His unchanging hand, "Lord lead us to all truth and righteousness!"  Proverbs 12:17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.  Psalm 85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.  Walk in the truth--the Lord is our Shepherd, no matter what your bank account says.  God is our provider, not anything in of of the world--not the money, not the job.  God can provide for you any way that He sees fit.  Hold on to the word, it never changes!!  It is the Lord that supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory--truth.  He is our all and all, even our all and never, remember that one, fiveamprayer!!  (http://fiveamprayer.blogspot.com/2011/02/all-and-never.html) God is so good to us!!  Showing up and meeting us at 5 am every morning!!  Bringing us a word that speaks to us right where we are!  What else can you expect from the Alpha and Omega, He who makes a way out of no way?!  We know that greater is He that is in us, than he that is in this world!!  There is no weapon formed against us that shall prosper, because our Lord had decreed it so!  The Lord is our Shepherd and our strength!    He keeps us in perfect peace, with our minds stayed on Him!  What truth are you walking in fiveamprayer?  For those in need of reconciliation, we serve a God who reconciles, seek Him in His word!  Don't go about this walk, the way the world would.  How can the truth be found in a world of lies, that is ruled by the father of all lies!?  Look to the everlasting truth of God and His word!  He is our Lily of the Valley, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehova Shalom, Emmanuel.  What truth are you walking in?!  Especially about this day, today--what truth are you leading your children in?  We are to worship in spirit and in truth.  Truth, God is not in the celebration of this day!  Time for a self-check, this is a personal question for all of us.  What is the truth about the situation?!  What truth are you walking in?  Are you being wise in your own eyes?  Do not walk in or hold to the devil's lie, he is the father of all lies.  What truth are you walking in?  Fiveamprayer, know the truth and the Truth shall make you free!  John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  Do a self check on this day, what is the truth you are walking in!?  We are called to worship Him in spirit and in truth.  Let us follow the true and everlasting wisdom from on high.  Why would we want an inferior product when He already has a perfected truth and is willing and able to share it with us?!  As the song says, why pull up flowers making room for weeds?  Thank You Lord for bringing us a word like this on October 31 to call us to attention--"what truth are you following?"  Do not walk in the lies of the devil, we are not to conform to this world, we are to conform to the Word of God.  That is what we must strive to be like, to duplicate to aspire to.  This is an ongoing process to keep moving and refining to be more and more like Him and follow His word.  He gives us grace and mercy and when we are seeking His ways He will come along side of us to encourage us and let us know if we are going the right way.  Isaiah 30:21 21) And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.  Do not be wise in your own eyes, don't try to get around what it really is.  If you don't know, take some time to research to find out what it really going on.  God calls us to know who we are following and what we are speaking--Deuteronomy 13:2-4 2) And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3) Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4) Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.  Walking in the absence of the truth, is a walk in lies!!  We must worship Him in spirit and in truth!  Hallelujah God!  "Let us look to be right in Your eyes not our own, Lord."  We are not called to line up with the world, but with His word.  No matter what someone told your or if it is tradition, what is the truth that you are following?!  That is why we must study--2 Timothy 2:14-16 14) Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.  Mark 4:22-25(AMP) 22[Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation.] For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything [temporarily] kept secret except in order that it may be made known. 23) If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him perceive and comprehend. 24) And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you--and more [besides] will be given to you who hear.  What truth are you walking in and taking the children right along with you?!  Thank You Lord for this word.  We must walk in the truth even if it is uncomfortable, even if it hurts!!  He will not stand for us walking out of order without being corrected.  Line up with His word or be corrected!!  This morning we come to lift up fiveamprayer, have each person who is calling in ask themselves, "what truth am I walking in?"  Does their truth line up with the word of God?!  If not set it aside, to be picked up no more and take up the truth of God firmly in your grasp.  It is not too late to get lined up and make a correction to be in line and learn more of His word and His ways.  This is a personal question for each of us this morning.  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  Have them to know that You are the God, that makes the impossible, possible.  We lift up Mr. Lewis and Nate`'s father for healing.  We are standing on Your word, that by His stripes they were healed.  You are a God that can do everything but fail!  Thank You Jehovah Rapha!  Hallelujah!  Praise Him for healing and restoration!!  We come asking for forgiveness, for walking in the lie.  Thank You Lord, for coming to ask us, "what truth are you walking in?"   Thank You God for forgiving us for choosing to operate in the lie.  We serve a God who is faithful to forgive when we repent.  Lord we repent for following the crowd of the world.  Knowing or not even searching out in the Word to be sure we are on the right path.  Thank You God for this correction.  Fiveamprayer, our God forgives us and cast our sins as far as the east is from the west.  Thank You that we are forgiven without condemnation and the sins remembered no more.  1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  When you know, you are held accountable.  The truth can be hard, but we have to take a look at ourselves and make the necessary adjustments to line up with His word!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood: 
1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

Welcome to the overflow...
Truth--God answers prayer.  That is why Jabez received that which he requested, God granted it to him.  1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.  Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.  Get into the word, know that it says!!  We are sealed in the blood and there is still power in the blood!  From Genesis to Revelation it has everything that you need, right there in your hands!!  Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  God knows the intent of your heart and knows your thoughts.  Line up with the word.  Do not give in to the lies of the world because of your flesh.  Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  Truth shall make you free.  Who the Son sets free is free indeed!  Walk in the freedom, purchased by the blood of the only Begotten of the Lord.  Choose to walk in the truth of the Lord.  God said it and it's enough for me!!  He will do all that He promised!  His word does not come back void nor reversed.  Fiveamprayer, let's be free of the lies of this world, walk in the saving knowledge of Christ!  Visit us on facebook and take some time out to read the scriptures for yourself today.  Have a blessed day!
