The Truth Will Always Come Out!
Revelation 19:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
10Then I fell prostrate at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he [restrained me] and said, Refrain! [You must not do that!] I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God! For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours].
My mother used to say to us, be careful what you wish or pray for you just might get it. I have learned this throughout my life. That we can pray for something and it not be in God’s will and we bug him like a child bugs a parent and we get it and we finally see what God was trying to keep us from. The other thing is I have had to learn when I pray, for God to reveal things to me, especially truths concerning myself and others that I am ready for the truth that will follow. Most of us, will pray for God to really show us, but we have not gotten real with ourselves about who we are, what we can handle or what may be the truth of who people are and what they really feel about us.
Recently, I started to pray and ask God to show me, not just the truth of what was in me, but to remove things from my life that were not in His will or sent to sabotage or harm me. I also asked Him to show me what really was in people’s heart towards me, so that I could pray on how to proceed in these relationships or if these relationships were even meant to be. As I stated you have to be ready for what God will reveal and what will come out as a result of these types of prayers. But I am in a place in my life where I realize how much I need God and I need for Him to be in full control, even in those times where He shows me, myself and it is not all that pretty or when He lets me see the truth of a situation, a person’s heart or intent towards me. Well as Sure as I asked, certain individuals in my life, began to say things that revealed the truth of their thoughts towards me and their actions began to display the truth of who I am to them. The one thing I have learned is the truth will eventually come out no matter what, but as you draw close to God, you desire for truth, becomes stronger and you want to get rid of anything that is not conducive to your growth and progression in Christ. The truth sometimes is staring us right in the face, but we are in denial about facing what people are saying to us through their actions towards us. But just as the truth of what others think about us will surface, and what is really in us will reveal itself, so what our heart is towards God will be revealed and what our real relationship with God is about. We can lip service people about where we stand with God, but it when things are lean, or tough, or not working out the way we want; when people betray us, or turn on us, when God doesn’t answer or respond in the manner we want, how we react, or respond tell of the truth on us. It lets God know whether we love Him, for being God or whether we love Him, because we know that He is able to rescue us from a fix, or provide for us.
My philosophy is always no matter what we say there is our brand or version of truth, other people’s version of truth about us and the situation they may be involved in with us, but there is “The Truth,” which is what God sees and knows to be truth. Ultimately that is the truth that matters. That is the truth that will affect our living and our ability to progress and move forward. We have to be prepared to face, “The Truth,” or we will find ourselves in denial, in a place where we are blaming everyone else never accepting responsibility for our actions or always finding ourselves getting blind-sided by people’s reactions and behaviors because we have been in refusal to see what is really present in their hearts about us. Don’t let the Lord of truth give you truth that you can’t handle or your refuse to accept. Stay connected to Him; seek after Him in such a way that, you are acceptance with Joy and baring the cost of following Him and facing the truth of what that journey is all about!
