ABOUT TRUTH AND LIES

Proverbs 12:19
The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
But a lying tongue is but for a moment.


Our Lord and Master called Himself ‘the Truth’. He came to the world to bear witness to the Truth.

Truth, the truth from God has its own legs to stand upon. One who speaks the truth, the truth from God, does not need the help of lights and fanfares in order to impress and convince the masses. He doesn’t need the lure of charismatic educated oratory speech to convince its hearers. He doesn’t need those because the Holy Spirit in man will bear witness to what he is saying; It will bear witness for enmity or acceptance, but It will bear witness. Peace in man comes when he resigns himself to the Truth being spoken to his heart. This happens because truth, the Truth from God is a healing balm to the soul. Truth doesn’t mind being challenged.

Truth, Truth from God has its own engine fueled by God’s resources. It keeps going forever and cannot be shut down. It continues the work of convicting and feeding itself to the world until a decision is finally made. The decision is either the repentance of the hearers, or the execution of the bearers. What it will not do is leave people indifferent. Truth, the Truth from God is a catalyst for decisions.

Our Lord and Master called the devil the ‘father of lies’.

Lies are the least of our worries. They are easily recognized because they don’t stand on their own.: they need other lies to support them. They need the crutches of lights and fanfares to convince the masses. They need the lure of charismatic and educated oratory speech to convince their hearers. They need those because the Holy Spirit in man fights lies. Depression, stress, stomach ulcers, emotional and behavioral problems often happen when man accepts those lies in his heart; when he rationalizes them to convince himself that they are truth. This happens because lies are a poison to the soul. Lies resist challenge; it makes them feel uncomfortable.

Lies are temporary; they are only fueled by people’s willingness to believe them. , As long as one person believes in them, they will continue their preaching but eventually they run out of fuel and shut down of their own selves. When no one believes them, they die. They also exist as a catalyst for decisions.

When people have suffered enough under the tyranny of lies, they finally yield to the Truth. I am looking forward to that day.

Sometimes in childhood, upsetting situations occur, and because certain abilities have not been developed yet misperceptions about the events are possible. If these misperceptions occur, they are stored in the brain. This can cause people as adults, to misperceive: themselves, other people, or the motives and actions of other people. But YHVH has a way of bringing these issues to the surface (at the right time) in order to bring the "truth" to the surface and expose the "lie". And therefore provide healing.
Praise YHVH!!! He is so awesome!!!
