Truth Is God's Standard!

Isaiah 59:14, “And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.”

There is a delicate balance in pursuing God into the revelation of His Truth and pursuing our own inspiration. The determining factor is the anointing of the Holy Ghost. God will anoint His Truth and Holy Ghost inspiration but He will not anoint human concepts that are born out of our carnal intellect. His anointing signifies recognition and approval, therefore, He will not anoint theology born out of the flesh. We must secure the anointing of God upon our message. If not our message is not God's message and is not His Truth. The goal for all should be to be one with Christ and a herald of His Truth.

There is much to be said about the influence of our religious heritage. However, we must not be stuck (consumed) in religious tradition. But neither can we lose the spiritual virtue of past generations. Consequently, let us mine the golden nuggets of Truth left for us by those who have preceded us and reach to God with our greatest determination to receive revelation of His Truth. Only then can we walk in fullness of joy!

It is important to understand that all of us are continuing to evolve into the people that God desires that we become. And just as important that we understand that the Bride of Christ continues to evolve. Eph. 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Paul says that Christ loves the Church and gave Himself for it that the process of making herself ready might be accomplished by washing of the Word. God's plan for the Body is set in stone IE., in the Word. The Word is God’s Truth and it will not change but we, the frail human characters that we are must find His perfect plan. (continued)
