Kitchen Table Devotional

James

Day 9

But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.              James 1:22

Live out what you believe in.  You and I can’t live in filthiness and wickedness and live the life that Jesus has for us.  It doesn’t work.  It’s conflicted.  And there is probably no greater deception than the deception of self; it makes for a fool.  Self-deception leads to demonization.  Our enemy loves the conflicted soul.  Jesus came full of grace and truth (John 1:14) showing us the way to live and love.  In fact, we cannot walk in love and not operate in the truth.  Love is truth and truth is love.  Live out what you believe in.  Be truthful, it settles the conflict in the human soul.  Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).  Want to get the devil out of your life?  Walk in the truth.  Any time we’re living in obedience to God’s word we’re living victoriously over the enemy.  Be a doer of the word.
