Daily Devotional. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH. 2 Timothy 2:15. Order ye the buckler and shield, AND DRAW NEAR TO BATTLE. Jeremiah 46:3. It’s important to read and study the Word of God to continue to Grow in understanding of what the Word means and just Who God is. This will build Faith in the Believer to such a strength that when someone comes with a heresy, lie, untruth, and distortion of the Truth, the Believer will already be ready to do battle against all sorts of sin, to bring forth the Truth and crush any and all lies presented. The Battle is to lift up Christ in an ungodly world. And every Battle will grow you more and more towards CHRISTLIKENESS. The greater The Word in you, from studying, the greater Christ will be in you, because HE IS THE WORD. As you study more and more, you will be able to handle and be Victorious over greater and greater Battles. As you prepare for battle, listen for the Holy Spirit t to warn you, “Be careful, this one’s mine, and he’s your Brother”. Now you show great Mercy and Grace because you’re no longer fighting demons and deception wanting to take you down, you have met a Brother who doesn’t understand the Truth, because he was never taught it, and you get to battle a satanic influence that wants to keep him in the dark. You get to shine the Light of the Scriptures into his darkness, and free him from the bondages of misinformation and bring him into the Truths of the Gospel. This is where a Believer lies, only because He never knew the Truth. So teach him, and you have guided a Brother into more CHRISTLIKENESS. A lie is stopped, a Brother is Growing, and you both will, Be Blessed.
