One of the stories my father likes to tell is of something I told him after school. One day I told my father, "I learned something at school today, Dad." He replied, "What did you learn?" I stated, "I learned that if you tell the truth you don't have to memorize it." I don't remember what happened that day at school. However, the concept is true. If you tell lies, you better remember what you told and to whom, or else risk being caught in a lie.
Recently I have read several books by Rick Joyner. I am going to include a short quote from his book The Apostolic Ministry. "The raising up of a victorious church, demonstrating for all time to all of creation that truth will prevail over lies and righteousness will prevail over iniquity, will be the completed job of the apostolic ministry."
This is something I am really looking forward to. A day when the truth is spoken. A day when righteousness prevails over sin. I can hardly imagine it, but it is definitely desireable. There are days when I get upset because of the number of lies I hear in a day. Some of my clients tell tales that rival the folk tales that are in children's stories. Anyone who watches the "Nightly Lies... er News" is well able to understand how easily lies are spewed out. At times, I wonder how they can tell those lies, doesn't their consciences prick them at all? It's bad enough to tell one person a lie, but to get on television and lie to millions of people all at once?
The gospel literally means "good news". I love good news. I love when people tell the truth. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no man cometh to the Father but through Me." John 14:6. Our Father, God, sent Jesus to make a way for us to come into restored fellowship with Him. What could be better news than that? Jesus was sent, but He also laid down His life. No one took His life, He laid it down for us. What love God lavished upon us. He didn't give a little dab, He lavished His love on us.
