Speaking The Truth in Love


 


Speaking The Truth in Love

 

 

A favorite “Christian” quote, “I’m only speaking the truth in love”

is usually proclaimed while spouting the world’s most current diatribes, 

prophesying the state of our nation… and the world… 

preaching/ declaring all that is evil, corrupt, and VILE in government, business, health, home, education, church, etc. 

 

 

Having cast aside THE TRUTH, Jesus Christ (Jn14:6)…

they have been deluded into thinking that TRUTH is what they have heard and believe they see with their own carnal eyes. 

 

 

They speak out of what is now abundant in their heart: 

bitterness… anger… resentment… strife… and contention

 

 

Instead of “tasting to see that the Lord is good” (Ps34:8) 

out of a vessel that is to be “preserved blameless” (1Thess5:23)…

you pop off THEIR lid to a foul aroma,

and partake in a mingled fruit corrupted by “cares of this life” and permeated with thoughts from the prince of this world… satan. (Jn12:31;14:30;16:11)

 

 

The whole purpose for “speaking THE TRUTH in love” is that we may all together…

“grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.” (Eph4:15)

 

 

What TRUTH do we RE-present?

 

 

Our great commission: “…Go into all the world and preach THE GOSPEL (GOOD NEWS) to every creature.” (Mk16:15)

 

 

Jer15:19-21AMPC

“Therefore thus says the Lord [to Jeremiah]: 

If you return [and give up this mistaken tone of distrust and despair], 

then I will give you again a settled place of quiet and safety, 

and you will be My minister; 

AND IF YOU SEPARATE THE PRECIOUS FROM THE VILE

[cleansing your own heart from unworthy and unwarranted suspicions concerning God's faithfulness],

you shall be MY mouthpiece. 

[But do not yield to them.] 

Let them return to you - not you to [the people]. 

And I will make you to this people a fortified, bronze wall;

they will fight against you, 

but they will not prevail over you, 

for I am with you to save and deliver you, says the Lord. 

And I will deliver you out of the hands of the wicked, 

and I will redeem you out of the palms of the terrible and ruthless tyrants.”

 

 

Phil4:8

“Finally, BRETHREN, whatsoever things are 

·       true, 

·       honest, 

·       just, 

·       pure, 

·       lovely, 

·       of good report…

if there be any virtue, 

and if there be any praise, 

think on these things.” 

 

 

SO… IF YOU LOVE…

SPEAK JESUS CHRIST

 

THE TRUTH!

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
