John 10; Christ teaches us of the truth and it important to be truthful always. He tells us that the truth will set us free. There are no variances of it as truth is truth period. Jeremiah 9:3 speaks to the “bending” of truth. I Corinthians 12 speaks to being of one spirit and I tell you now that lies and deception take that away. As we are taught that lies come from he who seek is to come in for to rob, steal, kill and destroy. Jesus is teaching us of spiritual death. Stand up, circumspect and have on the armor that God made for you. Stay true to the Word, be compassionate and shine out that which He has put in us. His love. Merry CHRISTmas and be blessed.

John 14, Proverbs 12:22-28, Jeremiah 9:3, Matthew 23:13-36, John 4, John 8, John 7. These speak to the. Truth and it is Him that brings it to us and Christ is the truth. The Pharisees sought to destroy Christ because in their eyes and in THEIR truth, he was exposing them. However the real truth; they were doing that all by themselves. When Christ taught, he taught with real authority and not as the scribes and the Pharisees did.

Declare to all the earth the Lord has come. Come all ye faithful and testify to His truth. Isaiah 2:3, 7:13-15, Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 9:5-7, 8:20, Matthew 5:13, Isaiah 25:8&9, 42{entire}v.12-18, 53, Matthew 5, Isaiah 55, John 6.

Romans 8, 8:17, I Corinthians 1:30&31, Matthew 1 {entirely}, 2:1&2.

Don’t be distracted by the detours established by man or mammon; they are established oft times in lies and deceit. The truth comes from God the Father and Christ the Son and our King; too from the Holy Spirit that Christ told us He will send the other comforter when He leaves this plain of existence. Again the question asked; He speaks, are you listening? Luke 17:20-37, 21:8-38, Romans 1:7, Hebrews 11:1, John 14 speaking to Christ and His departure, but the giving of the Comforter. I John 4:1, II Timothy 2:15-19, 3:12, II Corinthians 5:5-9, Isaiah 40:31.

There are sadly so many that will prefer the lies and deceit over the truth and integrity. Stay in truth and always let your yay be yay and your nay be nay. No bending, no white lie as long as it isn’t hurting; it is STILL a lie and not acceptable to Hashem. The Lord your God does not approve. Psalm 12:6-8, Proverbs 19:1&11,21:2, 23:1-12, Psalm 141:1-4, Ruth 3:10, Isaiah 5:8-12, Psalm 10:1-12, 37:30-33>39&40, Proverbs 20:17, Psalm 10:7.

God does speak and we must be attuned to His voice; are you listening? Do not be deceived for there are many that will try to convince you that God does not speak directly anymore and there is NO scripture that will give credence to this. God does and will, just be attentive and as with all His gifts; he does share them with His children. His word is still given directly to some and indirectly in teachings or sermons; logos and rhema as they are called in Greek. His truth and His only. Isaiah 62, Matthew 4:3, Isaiah 63 as a whole and specifically Isaiah 63:8, 55:10, John 1:1-17 is the testimony for John to the divinity and truth of Christ Jesus our Lord, King, Redeemer, Love and my friend. Yours too if you will believe truly and simply ask it to be so.

Beware the leaven of the Pharisees as Christ Jesus warned us and I tell you this that there are those that practice pharisaism in the church body today. This comes from the Latin pharisaismus; the observance of external forms of religion without GENUINE belief; hypocrisy. Claiming to be one thing and not carrying the life, light and truth in their hearts. John talked about those in his letters. Stating one thing but not truly believing that Christ Jesus came in the flesh; they then are liars. Pretty straight forward. John 8:44, Matthew 16:9, 21:5, 23:27&28, Ezekiel 22:23-31.

There are numerous scriptures that remind us to listen to the voice of God and knowing that voice. It takes practice and learning to hear through the interruptions, turbulence and the white noise interference. I Samuel 3, I Kings 19:21, Luke 2:19 speaks to the voice given to Mary from the angel messenger and she kept things things in her heart. Genesis 22 speaks to Abram listening to the voice of God; John 10, Matthew 4:4, Matthew 25:22, Isaiah 55:4-11, II Peter 3:8.

Isaiah 46:4, 43:17, Matthew 5:13, Isaiah 43:1, I Thessalonians 5:19; Be that salt that has not lost its savor and quench not the Spirit; when that fire rises within and the Word comes and that mighty wind comes from on high; do not quench that very thing that will sustain you.
