Proclaim Truth

Week 4- Day 3

“…according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Phil 1:20-21

I believe that God is raising up a people of boldness who WILL proclaim truth in the midst of this present evil age (Gal. 1:4), which is making crooked the straight way of the Lord. 

John said, “I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” (John 1:23)

The world is continually trying to 'make crooked the straight ways of the Lord' (Acts 13:10), but the world does not change God's Truth.  No matter how many times the 'world' may change its opinion, His Word stands true and unchanging and CONSTANT.  

Be in the Word.  As we are daily bombarded with the false wisdom of this world, we must be in His Word to know if our thoughts and our beliefs are lining up with His truth. 

Believe what He proclaims as truth. 

Contend earnestly (even in your own mind and daily life) for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. (Jude 1:3) 

 Stand firm. Give yourselves to prayer and fasting and proclaim truth.  Be ready… have your lamps trimmed (Matt. 25:1-13).

Pray today for the strength of the individual believer. 

Pray for the PURITY of His Word spoken. 

And determine that you yourself will speak it forth in boldness.
