The devil is called the father of lies.

Does it make God the Father of truth? "You shall know the truth, and it (He) shall make you free."

In the old testament when israelites turn their backs on God to worship other idols.

Is it fair to suggest israelites may have also turned their backs on truth in favor of lies. 

Seeking truth and making decisions based on truth (God) leads to happiness and prosperity. While by contrast seeking lies and making decisions based on lies (Devil) will instead lead to recession, misery and suffering.

Of course there are other variables. Not everyone who suffers deserves it by their life choices.

But generally speaking nations where citizens make choices based on fact and truth experience far less corruption and higher standard of living. In contrast to nations which makes choices based on deceptions and lies.

Fact and truth are not things which we can acquire through prayer. Just as a person will usually not know all of the answers to a test by praying. So we will usually not have the answers we seek in life, through prayer alone. "Seek and ye shall find" suggests searching is a necessity. Christians must embark upon a personal quest to seek truth and answers, before they can find what they search for.

To say that God is truth is to acknowledge that truth itself proceeds from the nature of God. While many things can have the truth, only one thing can be the truth, with that one thing being God Himself.

We do not suffer just for our own personal sin. We suffer for the salvation and redemption of all creation. 

Romans 8:17
And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ--if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

What credit would it be if we just suffered for ourselves and our own transgressions?

Proverbs chapter 8

1  Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? 
2  On the heights beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; 
3  beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: 
 “To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man. 
5  O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense. 
6  Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right, 
7  for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 
8  All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. 
9  They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge. 
10  Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, 
11  for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. 
12  “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion. 
13  The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. 
14  I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. 
15  By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; 
16  by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly. 
17  I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. 
18  Riches and honour are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness. 
19  My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. 
20  I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, 
21  granting an inheritance to those who love me, and filling their treasuries. 
22  “The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. 
23  Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. 
24  When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. 
25  Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, 
26  before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. 
27  When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 
28  when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, 
29  when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 
30  then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, 
31  rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man. 
32  “And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways. 
33  Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. 

34  Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. 
35  For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favour from the LORD, 
36  but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”

John 14:16  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 
17  even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

John 15:26  “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.

John 16:13  When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 
14  He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
