Affirmed: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

                Affirmed

                Anointing Grace. 

                Written by His truth

                woven into our hearts

                and souls.

                Removes when lies

                attacks by denial

                affirmed by His truth.

                Ongoing protection.

Psalm 27:14: "Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."

Reflection: Anointed: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reflection Questions

        1. How does His truth, to each of us, by His words feel?

        2. Yet if though we do know--how often do we forget or take this grace for granted? Why?

        3. How do these words remind us we are also protected from lies when we listen?

Share: What is one detail, from the Lord, that helps you to recognize a lie instantly?

Anointed: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 1st John 2:20-22: "But you have anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

Thank-you, Lord, for Your trust to speak through each of us as Your servants and allowing us to be a part of Your grace to others.

Please forgive us for the times we become so self-absorbed that we forget, or take for granted, the words You give us to share in speaking, or in prayers.

May only Your words of truth come out of our words to others and that lies immediately dissolve, both within and outwardly.

Please keep us on Your daily purpose.
