Speak Truth

Many people are mentally weighed down. The devil is a great deceiver, and his lies have taken control over so much. People don’t know what to believe. We are all just doing what we can to stay above the pain. Because it hurts when we live by lies. God created us for the truth. The enemy knows exactly what he is doing to us. He even uses people who resist God to exacerbate the lies. Adolph Hitler, who the devil previously used effectively said, “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” He is right. People become too tired to fight what is thrown at them, so they accept it and are led astray. So, what can we do? First, above all, we need to know what the word of God, the bible, says and hold to it. Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32) Through Him we are able to recognize all falsehoods. Next, we fight the good fight. We resist the devil. We speak the truth!

Maybe you may feel overwhelmed and pressed tightly by all that’s going on in the world - that’s understandable. But God offers more than what this world does. Take the time to rest in the presence of God. Draw close to Him like your life depends on it because it does! Read your bible. Put your face to the ground in prayer. Or lift your hands to the heavens. Sing to Him. Spend time with our good and faithful God. He will give you rest and hope. Through Him you will break through every lie. Your solid footings will be found. You will gain confidence to stand against the darkness of deceit. As well as the strength and the courage to speak with love, whenever you can, the truth.
