3 John ~ Praying Scripture

Please read 3 John.

Meditate on verse 4.

I have no greater joy than this,

to hear of my  children walking in the truth.

In all three of John’s letters, truth is a key repeated word. He wanted his readers to be walking in truth, to be fellow workers with the truth, to have a good testimony based on the truth.

The world today wages war on truth.  A secular pop singer said, “I am telling you a lie in a vicious effort to get you to repeat my lie until it becomes the truth.”  With an estimated 125 million singles sold, the lies propagated by this one singer are repeated over and over and over. 

Today, Biblical truths are changed to lies for the sake of political correctness.  People are more concerned about offending other people than they are about offending Almighty God who said, “My Word is truth” (John 17:17).

John exhorted his readers, “Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good.  The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God” (3 John 1:11).

John knew his testimony was true because he knew the Word of God (3 John 1:12).

What is your testimony?  Is it based on truth or lies?  What and who do you imitate? Would God call you evil or good?

Pray 3 John 1:2-4 over those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I pray in all respects that ________

may prosper and be in good health just as their soul prospers.

 Let brethren come and testify to how they are walking in the truth.

 I have no greater joy than this,

to hear of my children walking in the truth.

In Your name, Jesus~”
