LOVE DOES NOT LIE

1 Corinthians 13:6
Love rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth..

Still doing what God told me to do in spite of all opinion, criticism and jokes.

This is not a devotional and it's for all who are ready to man up In Christ Jesus.
It's a steak today, a book, not pet milk, I hope you have your teeth in.

Father, may Your Word have free course and be glorified before all men as it is with us In Christ Jesus.
In the Authority of the Anointed One and His Anointing.
Amen.

There is a code and a trait that men in the world live by and lying is a part of that code.
The god of this world system 1 Corinthians 4:4(the devil) is the father of all liars.
So it is never God who is behind a lie, it is always the devil, if you are lying you are being used by the evil one.

In Christ Jesus you live in this world but you are not of it therefore since you have been redeemed by truth, you speak the truth.
Speaking the truth in love so that we can grow up and not be deceived by opinion.

Liars
Lie to prevent making someone else feel uncomfortable.
Lie to look interesting to others.
Lie to cover up a wrong done.

Lie to manipulate others.
Lie as an excuse.
Lie to get a point across.

Lying
Love does not do it.
You do not lie to people who you love.
You don't lie to them to make them feel better.
You don't lie to them to "protect" them.
If you love people, you tell them the truth.

God doesn't use lies or manipulation, people outside of God do.
God doesn't have to lie neither do we.
I'm talking to those In Christ today.

There are some people who want to remain ignorant of God's Will and ways and would rather argue about everything.
The Bible teaches me that either you will acknowledge God's Word as truth or be ignorant and I am told to let the ignorant be ignorant. 1Corinthians 14:38

God who is love would not have us ignorant so He is not keeping anything from us.
Jesus prayed to the Father for us in John 17:17 saying,
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy Word is truth.

It's the Word of God (Truth) in us that sets us apart from the world system.

The reason that God would not have us ignorant is because ignorance breeds unbelief.
Unbelief will not manifest the promise, miracles, blessing or anything else that is the heritage of the saints.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
(getting understanding and it works by love.)

If we walk by faith and not circumstances or our humanity which is the flesh, then we will have all power to do what God made us to do because we have chosen not to exalt our humanity over God's ability.

Do you understand what I mean by exalting our humanity above God's ability?
Yeah you do.
Once you know the truth not practicing it and then making excuses.

Anybody who is ignorant of God's character and His ways will go about to establish their own way and belief.
Anybody.
This is why you can be 'raized' in the church your momma could have taken you 7 days a week 5 times a day but if you don't have a relationship with the Word for your self, you won't give up the world's away and you will broadcast excuses and reasons and blame other people.

What someone else thinks about you has nothing to do with your personal relationship with Jesus.
Do you think that I care or will allow what someone else thinks about me to stop me from seeking God's face?
No.

But when you are not seeking God.
You will even begin to lead others away with your philosophy.

You will say, God knows my heart, God is merciful and forgiving, and God is compassionate and God is love so He understands if I don't live right before Him.
No
He doesn't understand why after sacrificing His Son for us that we would still choose to live in sin.

That's why in all of His mercy The Father continues to send His Word across our path because living the way we want to live instead of how God has established life is what will set us outside of God's protection.

You can be devout in the church and lack the knowledge of God, and because a celebrity says, "Nobody has the blueprint to God" you begin to believe that we can't know God's ways or that there are many ways to God, when the only right way is clearly written in His Word.

Jesus responded to the devil and his tests with what was written.
The Blueprint.
How can you cast down imaginations and every high thought that rises up against the knowledge of God?
How can you do that if you profess that nobody has the blueprint?
Everything that Jesus said is written for our power and ability to overcome like He did.
But instead of searching out what God says and getting an understanding men even in the church continue to go about trying to establish their own way.

Stop listening to opinion over God's written Word.

Remember the rich young ruler?
What must I do to be saved? is the question that he asked Jesus.
Raised in the synagogue from his youth, his momma took him to church, but he was not ready to let go of the world and he went away grieved.
He was rich but lived a grieved life.

So many don't understand why they can't be happy and why they live a grieved existence.
It's because they won't let go of the worlds way and fully follow the way of Jesus.

They have not truly submitted them selves to the righteousness of God.
A mans ways may seem right to him, but in the end...

This blog today is to put you in remembrance of the Word.

It's not to inspire you, it's not to pump you up and get you going for 20 minutes, it's not to get you to cry or clap your hands or run around the room, not to make you laugh or entertain you.
Whether yo say Amen, Hallelujah, Agree or pass out, it's the truth.
It is to tell you that God can be comprehended.
It's to get you to think.

There is a blueprint to who God is and exactly what His ways are and that blueprint is His Word.

The Holy Scriptures tell us who God is and they show us the only way to Him.
The Holy Scriptures describe to us what God's character and Will is.

The Holy Scriptures show us our purpose.
The Holy Scriptures show us the way to redemption and salvation.

The Holy Scriptures teach us who we are and what we have in and through Christ Jesus and His blood.

If you don't have the blueprint, who are you serving?
Who are you worshipping and who are we relying on?
Because the God of the Bible is God.
Jesus is the blueprint.

If you want to be lied to, don't talk to me because I will not lie to you.
We have the blueprint because God gave it to us.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and that very same Word is what God gave us to live by and to dwell in us.

I don't know about you but I have the blueprint.

1 John 4:8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Let's look at love and see what we really understand about it.
We understand from 1 Corinthians that it does not rejoice in sin but it rejoices in truth.

Love is not coddling folks and petting them on into hell because you are afraid to tell them the truth.
Jesus didn't walk the earth petting folks, He came through with healing words and He didn't bite His tongue or lie for anyone.

If you have a loved one who is drinking themselves out of a liver, say something!
I don't care if they don't listen, say something!
Tell them that you love them and stop ignoring it saying that God will work it out as you watch them die.

If you see someone going down the path of destruction, say something!
I didn't say don't pray and ask God what to say, be led of Holy Spirit but say something!
God has placed you in the earth to manage the work of His hands.
God placed you in their life so that He can speak to the working out of the problem through you.
James 5:19,20

We know that God is not the author of confusion, deception or lies.
Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.
And His Spirit will give you the Words when you rely on and look to Him for them.
I'm telling the truth in love.

Hebrews 6:18 teaches that it is impossible for God to lie.
If anyone is lying it ain't God and it ain't His Word.
So when someone is saying something contrary, you tell me where the truth is.

God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the Son of man, that He should repent; hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?
If we believe that why listen to anything else?

We know that God is love according to His Word.
We know that God is love according to what He has done for us.
For God so loved us, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The Apostle Paul reminds us in writing to Titus his son in the faith, that God who cannot lie promised this eternal life to us before the world began.

The Apostle Paul also stated that acknowledging the truth is after godliness.
Titus 1:1,2
We are children of the Most High God so our heritage and our makeup is to acknowledge truth.

God's Word is truth, God is true!
What He said is true.
When we acknowledge God's Word as such we put His truth above ALL theories.
The Word of truth is exalted above ALL opinion and circumstances.

I'm not talking about a blind faith.

If you believe that Jesus is Lord and that He already died and rose for you.
If you believe that when you do die that you are going to heaven to live with the Father for all eternity.

Why is it that you have trouble believing everything else that this Word says?
How come you can't believe the wages of sin is death?

How come you don't believe that it's God's Will for us to prosper and have good success as we meditate His way day and night?

His love encompasses an exceedingly greater amount of abundance than what mere man can give.

There is no temptation that has the power or ability to overtake a man or woman In Christ Jesus.
There is nothing that the enemy can bring to us that God has not given us the ability, grace and truth to resist.

Every man will be approached with the invitation to lie daily.
Every man will be invited to walk outside of love daily.

You ain't the only one!

Every man will have the thought introduced to him to be envious and hateful daily.
Every man will suffer loss of a loved one.

Every man will have a time of struggle in his life.

Every man will be given the opportunity to be bitter and spiteful and stay that way daily.
Every man will be given an invitation to be used by the evil one daily.
Every man has a sad story, nobody has travelled an easy road.

The difference is that we have Jesus.
The difference is that we have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us as a compass, guide, reminder and teacher.

We need to be continually reminded of these things so we can man up.

Don't open the door to the enemy to come in and get you off course and away from the blessing of God.
The evil one is knocking and saying you are only human, you can only do so much, where are the other Christians?
But God makes His children able to endure with patience.

If you never ever run across another Christian who will be stroking your back and drying your tears you have the comforter down on the inside of you.

We don't have to lie.
We don't have to be afraid.
We don't have to be envious and nasty.
We don't have to have low self esteem.
We don't have to be ignorant of Satan's devices.

Jesus said that we would have trouble in this world but that He had overcome it.
It rains on the just and the unjust, but the just have an umbrella to quote brother Jesse Duplantis.

Lies, Pride, Envy, Offense and excuses close up the umbrella.
Open up the umbrella.

Oh my God! listen! because there are so many hard headed people who you can't tell anything and I have seen their fall in the Spirit. I'm praying for meek hearts to receive what I'm saying.

I have been labouring in prayer for the willingly ignorant in the church as well as for those in the world.

I can see their fall in the spirit.
It hurts my heart.
Look at the ways that a man is devoured.

Pride is one of those ways.

LOVE DOES NOT LIE, IT'S THE TRUTH THAT MAKES A MAN FREE.

1 Corinthians 13; EPHESIANS 4:15
