Spiritual Honesty And Integrity

Abba Father, El Elyon The Most High God, I rise to this day to praise and worship You and to thank you for all that is given to me under grace and in a perfect way, in the name of Jesus Christ, as I continue this journey called life. I am grateful for the privilege to humbly bow in Your presence and begin again in You; the sovereign, majestic God, and Creator of all that is and will ever be, worlds without end. As I ponder the state of the world today, I realize just how prolific deception and dishonesty have become. Consequently, many people have become accepting of lies as truth, and truth as lies as long as the end of a thing accommodates and accomplishes their goals. Integrity and honesty are no longer their guides to daily living. They have taken some threads of truth and woven them into a tapestry of deception. Have they forgotten that tainted wealth has no lasting value, and those who follow crooked paths will be exposed? Do they not know too much talk leads to sin and evil people will not go unpunished? Father, I ask You, O Lord, let there be an awakening, a revival among the people, let Your Spirit fall upon those who never knew You and those who have strayed. Let them know that whoever walks with integrity will be delivered from evil, but those who are crooked in their ways will suddenly fall. Father, open the eyes and understanding of those that are being misled, and also those who have been misled for generations, so they can discern and know the truth about the state of the world. Let them know this did not just happen…it has been a divisive journey for those who have enriched themselves. Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus Christ, create in us clean hearts and right spirits, so we aim at what is honorable not only in Your sight but also in the sight of people. Let the light of Your love shine into the darkest places of the souls of those who do not know You and the ones who have rejected You… no one else can save anyone. Therefore, I ask You, Lord, let them hear Your word and put them into practice so their values and principles are rooted in divine wisdom, and we all are guided and taught by Your Spirit; so, the world will be a better place for all humanity. Hallelujah! Amen!

Proverbs 21:3-5 ESV: Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. 1 Peter 3:10-12 ESV: For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

Grand Rising Everyone, please remember, “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.” Whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. Having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who berate your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. Have a glorious, victorious day in the Lord! Amen, believe it, and so it is!
