The Blessings of The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth.

Stand firm, therefore, having the belt of  truth
fixed around your waist.
Ephesians 6:14

What Is Truth

What does the Ancient Word of God have to say about truth? It tells us, when we know the truth (experience it and live it) that vital truth will set you and me free.  (See John 8:32) The context of this passage makes it clear that this truth will set us free from bondage to sin and death; therefore, we may freely, and authentically, live because of the truth. Jesus makes it clear regarding how He relates to THE truth.  He tells us, "I am the way, the truth and the life..." (See John 14:6) Any truth contrary to Jesus' truth is counterfeit, and it will rob us of eternal life. When Jesus prayed for His church -- the past, the present and the future church -- He prayed, "Sanctify them in the truth. Thy Word is Truth" (See John 17:15 & 17.)  So the truth sanctifies you and me. Or the truth makes us holy in God's sight. We obtain this absolute truth from The Word of God.  You and I can choose the truth.  As Philippians 4:8 says, "Whatever is true ... let your mind dwell on these things." So we really are free to choose truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and experience the truth's benefits.

What Will We Do With The Truth?

What are we to do with the truth? You can do like Pilate and not seek it: As Jesus was bleeding before Pilate, this Roman leader came right out and ask Jesus, "What is truth."  Yes, he didn't wait for an answer.  He simply turned and walked away.  He literally turned his back on the truth that carried with the truth all the wonderful expressions of truth mentioned above.  Later history  reveals he killed himself. A life that turns it's back on the truth experiences a death sentence.  All too many today are following Pilates example.  They may not kill themselves, but they will die without God. They will be slaves who are in bondage to sin and death. They will live ungodly and unholy lives. Sadly, none of the benefits of living by the truth will be theirs.

People who live broken lives, or who are lost without Jesus, will be transformed in a supernatural way once they choose the truth! Their life outcome will become just the opposite of those who don't hold to the truth. They will not walk away from Jesus. They will seek Him out. Their spiritual and emotional brokenness will move toward healing, and they will be delivered as they experience God's salvation grace! I am telling the truth when I say that they will truly know God or experience God. As a result, they will accept Jesus invitation and worship God.  For they will know God is Spirit, and they will worship God in Spirit and The Truth.

Why not be free today?  Why not break the chains that keep you in bondage to sin and death? Why not let God make you holy in His sight through His Word, which is the truth?  Don't turn your back on the truth, but turn toward He who is named Jesus.  Let Him set you free! Then follow Jesus' truth filled teaching today, especially today, and Worship today in Spirit and in Truth. (See John 4:24)

You will be glad you did.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
