Declaring the Truth I have Discovered
The words of John 14, spoken by Jesus to His disciples long ago, are no longer just words to me. Through them, He speaks to my heart, and I’ve been learning to receive them, to internalize them, and to speak them over my life. As we are in another month with 31 days, I encourage you to read John 14 daily. I have internalized Jesus words spoken in John 14 and responded to them with a decalaration and prayer. Last week, I began sharing the day’s declaration and prayer corresponding to the verse on Instagram daily. This summary of last week is meant to be read as a response to the corresponding verse in John 14. I hope that this exercise inspires you to discover with me the realness of abiding in Jesus.
Begin
Read John 14:1-7 and use these words as a framework to build your own response to Jesus’ words.
Verse 1
Jesus, I believe in God, and I believe in You. Today, I refuse to give fear, worry, and anxiety a place in my heart.
Verse 2
Jesus, I believe that You are preparing an eternal paradise for Me. This world is not my home.
Verse 3
Jesus, I believe You are in heaven preparing life beyond anything I can imagine and are coming back to take me there, to be with You forever. Knowing this, I have hope and comfort in this upside-down world.
Verse 4
Jesus, You’ve shown me the way and already given me everything I need to experience this eternity. But I must choose daily to seek, search, and receive.
Verse 5
Sometimes, I forget and complicate things; Lord keep teaching me.
Verse 6
Jesus, I know You are the only Way to the Father. You are Truth and Life, the great I AM.
Verse 7
From now on, I have no excuses not to know the Father. Through You, I have seen Him; I can know Him.
