Daily Devotional March 16 - Get it in writing

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you..." John 14:1-2a

 

You need to count on what the Lord tells you. If you are to have confidence you need to know that the information that Jesus gave/gives you if correct. It is interesting that Jesus makes a point to let us know, "if it were not so, I would have told you..." What Jesus said during His ministry and what the Apostles and New Testament writers recorded was what Jesus told us/you.

 

Jesus spoke every word necessary for you to:

• Recognize the enemies tactics
• Abandon worldly pursuits
• Break spiritual strongholds
• Live free from addictions
• Recover lost territory
• Use what man meant for evil and turn it into something good
• Sense the presence of God
• Receive salvation
• Live the abundant life
• Intercede for others with expectation
• Understand our purpose

"If it were not so," He would have told you. That is really comforting to me. The creator tells us everything we need to know, in writing, so we don't mess it up. Quit looking for deep truths elsewhere. They are within the pages of scripture and written on the tablets of your heart. "If it were not so," He would have told you.
