Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 21 July 2008

Ten Commandments: #9 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor (Deut. 5:20). There is a difference between freedom of the world and freedom defined by God. The ninth commandment states, you shall not lie. In Psalm 5:6 the Word of God says, You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors. Psalm 34:13 says, Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. It is a spiral affect. The moment we lie once, we open a can of worms that will continue to devour and consume us until we let go and gain freedom from God. Today, God wants us to claim freedom and God wants to release us from any area which God does not have a stronghold on. If we have lied in our past, walking in deceit, fraud, dishonesty, cheating, etc; it is time we be set free from this. If God is not the solid and firm foundation in our lives, then we have been bound and chained by something else. Today, I pray and hope that we would rather be bound and chained to Christ and Christ alone. Would we rather the things of this world or the things of Christ. © July 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
