The Truth Hurts or Lies Hurt?

By
Grace Words
- by King Julius Kwedhi

"I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son." - 1 John 2:21-22

All lies have their genesis in this, the rejection of Christ Jesus. "For no lie is of the truth." You can easily dismiss this statement until you understand that Jesus is Truth. And I learned the former statement after closely examining 1 John 2:21-23 and John 14:6. Jesus emphatically declared that He is, consistently, unchanging, and uncompromisingly the Truth. Always was. Always is. Always will be Truth. And the apostle John added "no lie is of the truth." There is no trace of falsehood in Him. Him who is the the embodiment of falsehood we know, Satan. He has always lied from the beginning. When pride overwhelmed and ruled over Lucifer's heart, he rebelled against God Almighty and was cast out of God’s dwelling, Heaven. Satan became an outcast and darkness became his dwelling. He left the light and abode in the dark. Whenever the light appears, the darkness hides for it cannot overcome the light. Light reveals and guides and sets free.

Light exposes darkness by stripping it naked and revealing it for what it is that the slaves of darkness be set free. But those enslaved by darkness love the deeds of darkness and as light appears they seek for the grossest of darkness that their shameful deeds (known fully well to themselves to be shameful) be hid and not exposed. But the darkness cannot overcome the light. So as the light exposes the darkness those of the dark get offended and anger boils in their hearts. James told us that the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. And again he said being angry against a brother without cause is equated to murder. That is why Jesus calls Satan a murderer from the beginning because Satan got angry at God without a cause. By the way can anyone get angry at God and successfully prove God to be unrighteous and unjust in all or some of His acts? God is just and righteous in all He does (Psalm 145:17).

Henceforth, as light shines, the darkness is exposed and inevitably the darkness, being weak against light, it gets offended and deeply hurt that their shameful secrets of darkness are exposed to the sight of others. Paul therefore urged us to have no fellowship with the deeds of darkness.

I have often heard it said that "The truth hurts." This statement is not quite correct. What hurts is not the truth. What hurts is entertaining and living a lie. And what happens when falsehood meets truth? Truth reveals the true face of lies and out of rage and shame falsehood fights and tries to stop the truth from revealing any further of the hypocrisy of falsehoodness and lies. Listen, when the child of truth hears the truth he rejoices. That is why Proverbs says to teach correct the wise and he will receive knowledge. But if you do that to a fool he will hate you. A fool hates correction because it exposes his foolishness and pride keeps him from learning and amending his ways to walk in truth. A wise man rejoices at correction because that is his delight. When he is corrected he does not hide but rather comes forth in humility and keeps on following the way of wisdom and truth.

Do not be deceived, it is not the truth that hurts, it is entertaining and living a lie that hurts, for when falsehood meets truth falsehood is left exposed barely able to hide.

Further Scripture Reading:

John 8:45-47 (ERV)
“I am telling you the truth, and that’s why you don’t believe me. Can any of you prove that I am guilty of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe me? Whoever belongs to God accepts what he says. But you don’t accept what God says, because you don’t belong to God.”

2 Masters

2 Masters Deut. 18:14  -  'For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.   One of the main reasons Saints of God today are not being blessed is because they are serving 2 masters. And when I say blessed, I'm not talking about money! Atheists, agnostics, homosexuals, luciferians, etc. all can have money without being blessed of God, so get that out of your head. We have been programmed to hear the word blessing and automatically reach in our wallets and pockets, but working will get you money. God does not have to shovel out cash because he doesn't have cash, men do! So, work and you will havemoney! But when I say blessing, I'm talking about, your children being free from the devils strongholds, your marriage being sound and loving, your home being free from witchcraft, your possessions being safe from robbers and ...

Open Heaven

By
by Prophet Dr. David Owuor TO DRAW AN UNDERSTANDING  on this novel segment on the visitation of the GODHEAD, it is indeed indispensable  that we examine one other aspect relating to such a monumental visitation upon the face of the earth. Whenever the GODHEAD chooses to leave HIS dwelling in heaven and come down upon HIS people, the most inevitable occurrence that can not be precluded from any engagement underscoring it, is the fact that such an occurrence always invariably leads to an OPEN HEAVEN over the church. We are vividly reminded here when the LORD Jesus took the three confidants who were close to HIS heart up the Mountain of Transfiguration. The visitation that accrued  thereon  became a monumental milestone whose bearing continue to ramify the hearts of the believers owing to the fact that it was at that summit that the Perfect Lamb...
