God Speaks Truth!

Listen to this blog.

The [Lord] told me to write down his message for his people, so that it would be there forever. They have turned against the [Lord] and can't be trusted. They have refused his teaching and have said to his messengers and prophets:
Don't tell us what God has shown you and don't preach the truth. Just say what we want to hear, even if it's false.

Stop telling us what God has said! We don't want to hear any more about the holy One of Israel.

Now this is the answer
of the holy One of Israel:
“You rejected my message,
and you trust in violence
and lies.

This sin is like a crack
that makes a high wall
quickly crumble

and shatter
like a crushed bowl.
There's not a piece left
big enough to carry hot coals
or to dip out water.”

Isaiah 30:8-14

Do you want to hear the truth? The truth is often the thing that makes you feel the most uncomfortable. When you listen to a man deliver a "message from God" do you stop listening if that message does not affirm what you already believe?

God's Word is Truth and all that is true comes from Him. The communication of God is Truth. The utterances of Satan are lies. Satan, of course is the father of lies. So when you speak the truth you are saying that which comes from God. And when you speak a lie, you become the Devil's mouthpiece.

The epic struggle that will continue until the return of Christ is the battle between truth and lies. Truth is of God and lies are of Satan. A man's conscience is his personal attempt to determine what is true and what is a lie and whether his own actions are consistent with that which is true.

When you give up on truth in an attempt to protect an idea, a principle or anything or anyone that you hold dear, you are blatantly giving up on God. Deception can produce short term gain and appear to be an effective way to handle a situation, but in the end it will not work. When deception runs in to the Truth of God it is always exposed for what it is.

"Lord, I pray that every word that I speak today will be true and one that Jesus would have comfortably spoken. Help me Lord to reject all forms of lying and rely only on the Truth. Amen."
