THROUGH TROUBLES, TRIALS, AND TRIBULATIONS GODS WORD IS A LAMP TO MY TRUTH
Through all these trials, troubles, and tribulations, we are experiencing (look at them for your good and you will find Truth), which are exposing the Truth of GOD (He loves us, He knows the evils of men hearts, He wants us to come back to Him in all honesty and truth). And He, through His Word, is allowing all of men’s seemingly unbridled mischief and mayhem come out and be exposed so that our truth will be reflective of the lamp of His truth. The truth in all situations and circumstances will be revealed. And in doing so, will come upon each and every one of us for the reason of setting us free. Because no matter who your forefather is/were, this is a walk you, alone, have to walk. And asking for the forgiveness of sin is not transferable from one to another, (we can pray for each other, but the one committing the sin has to ask for himself; in other words, repent). (John 8:31-34 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin).
You know, everyone these days seems to have their own ideas and truths regarding all subjects and are practicing it regardless of whether it is truth or not; it suits them. They have even gone as far as challenging YHWH. Because in their own arrogance and ignorance they have grown so prideful, selfish, and self-centered it has become the way of the world to dismiss or negate the fact that only what is righteous and true, in GOD’s eyes, is the way, the truth, and the life. And when it comes to trying to war against YHWH, GOD, there is no battle, the war has already been won by Him. (Numbers 11:23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not).
Being controlled by the devil has convinced a whole lot of people that the Word of God is a lie and we do not need it to guide us. But we, as a true child of YHWH’s knows that His Truth is the only truth that matters: it will stand. Because real truth will set you free from the bondage of this world. It cleans your wounds and bandage up your scars from previous battles. It gives you clarity of all that is happening today in this world; prepares you for the on-going and on-coming good times and battles; it conditions you in the way to handle both wins and temporary defeats. It is a non-compromising way of viewing God’s plan for our lives and following the directions of them. The truth may not be easy for us to hear nor to swallow but it is easier to live with than a lie: the truth will set you free. (John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free). Once you tell the truth it is out, you deal with the consequences immediately; get it over, move on. But once you tell a lie it becomes a continuous game of cat and mouse; having to compound it with lies upon lies to try to keep from getting found out: in the end the lie succumbs to truth; time that could have been spent in truth; positive and progressive movement in your life.
When Jesus spoke with His disciples, He spoke the truth regarding how we get to the Father, whether in prayer, meditation, etc., He said only through Him is it possible. Because He is the revelation of the truth in all of us. Not only does He reveal it, but He clean us up and process us so that our requests are worthy of being presented to our Father. Without him we do not have a chance. And that is the truth.
Psalm 43:3
O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
2 Corinthians 10:5
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
