We have a national epidemic of lying in America. The motivation for all lying is deception. It’s a pattern of arrogance. The arrogant person seeks to deceive. Lying to self is one of the worst. Lying is listed twice in the seven sins God says He hates. “A lying tongue” (Prov 6:17) and “A false witness that speaks lies” (Prov 6:19). Lying started with Satan who is the father of all lies. Today there is an all-out effort to demonize Christians, marginalize their effectiveness, and stop them from having a voice in the public arena. “Who is the liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?” (1 John 2:22).

Make your relationship with God and His Word your number one priority. Get under the ministry of a sound pastor, stay filled with the Holy Spirit, learn God’s Word and put it to use in your life, and glorify God to the maximum by re-presenting Jesus Christ. Focus your attention on what the Word of God says and don’t be distracted by all the speculation of the cosmic system and what it will throw at you.

Lying is motivated by deception. Deceptive behavior is based on arrogance. “There is no truth and no knowledge of God in the land” (Hosea 4:1-2). There is a national epidemic of lying in America. “Liars believe liars” (Prov 17:4). Satan is the father of lies and organized religion is based on lies. “He speaks from his own resources, for he’s a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). Satan’s motivation is to use deception to distract you, to discourage you and to defeat you. As Christians, we are mandated to be honest and truthful with ourselves and each other. “Putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor for we are all members one of another” (Eph 4:25).

You get to know God through Jesus Christ. “I am the way, the truth, and the life and no man can come to the Father but by Me” (John 14:6). You get to understand God by means of staying filled with the Holy Spirit and learning and applying the Word of God (Eph 5:18 and 2 Pet 3:18). If you’re going to understand the God you know, you have to understand the protocol plan of God, how God works. God has a plan. You need to learn it. Spiritual momentum is hearing and keeping the Word of God. Understanding God is taking on the personality profile of our Lord Jesus Christ. Is this you? “The fruit of the Spirit is love and joy and peace and longsuffering and gentleness and meekness and goodness” (Gal 5:22). “Let him who glorifies receive his glory from this, that he understands Me and that he knows Me” (Jer 9:24).

You are to look forward not back. As a Christian, you have a personal sense of destiny. You know where you are going because you have eternal security. You have a race to run and your objective is to cross the finish line. This is your destiny. Keep your eyes on Christ. “Looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith” (Heb 12:2). The greatest joy you can have is to fulfill the plan of God.  When you grow spiritually you assume the personality profile of Jesus Christ and this is “the fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness and mercy” (Gal 5:22-23). A personal sense of destiny: Your motivation is looking unto Jesus Christ. Your inspiration is the confident expectation in God’s provisions. Your application is standing on the promises of God.

Are you the person God is looking for who will make up the hedge and stand in the gap for our nation? The enemy is pouring in. The enemy is Satanic viewpoint thinking and it is always out there as a lure to capture the thoughts of believers and unbelievers alike. To stand in the gap you must become part of the pivot. The pivot is a group of men and women who are the salt preserving a client nation by means of their spiritual lives. The pivot is an accumulation of primarily spiritually mature believers. God wants you to be part of the pivot. The Word of God must be the top priority in your life if you are going to grow to spiritual maturity. Your mission in life is to grow spiritually and lift up Christ to others. “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men to Myself” (John 12:32).

As a spiritually mature believer, an invisible hero, you are the salt of the earth. “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its flavor...it is good for nothing” (Matt 5:13). You are a preserving factor for our nation when you allow the Holy Spirit to use you. How do you act as salt? Stay filled with the Holy Spirit. Grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. “Grow in the grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). Reflect the mind of Christ. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). Glorify God to the maximum—that’s how you become the salt of the earth!

Without the freedom Christ offers, you are not free. You need to accept God’s grace gift of salvation to be free from the slave market of sin. This is spiritual freedom. “I will walk in freedom and seek Your doctrines” (Ps 119:45). Free from the penalty of sin - free from the power of sin. The penalty of sin is death and separation from God - that’s why you need to believe in the finished work on the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. The power of sin is the sin nature’s ability to enslave you in the lust of the flesh. There’s a better way to live. Spiritual freedom can function anywhere. Spiritual freedom only belongs to the believer in Jesus Christ. Your physical freedom was bought and paid for by the American military. Your spiritual freedom was bought and paid for by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Divine establishment, principles God ordained for the perpetuation of the human race. They include the divine institutions of volition, marriage, family, and nationalism. As a nation, we’ve turned our backs on God and His divine establishment principles and we are in serious trouble.

Spiritual momentum is a steady path of growth from learning God’s Word. Distractions will cause you to stall out if you are not deliberate about your spiritual life. "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). Will you continue to study God's Word daily and develop momentum in your spiritual life or will you crash and burn? “Do not love the world nor the things of the world” (1 John 2:15).

You can have peace during confusing times. How? “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose confidence is in the Lord” (Heb 17:7). “Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee because he trusts in You” (Is 26:3). Three things you need if you want this peace: concentration, information, and occupation. Concentration on the teaching of the Word of God will purify your soul. Information is God’s 10 problem-solving devices and the unique assets He’s given you. Occupation with Christ is where you want to be because there can be no peace without absolute truth and there is no absolute truth without Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
