All around us people are buying into the lies of the world because they do not know the Word and the holiness of God!
We need a generation, an 'army' in this day and age, who is motivated and willing to live according to the WORD and not the 'world', a people who are willing and able to speak truth.
'TRUTH' is anointed with the Holy Spirit. It has power. Go speak the unadulterated truth of God. It will be a fragrance of death to some so it will be uncomfortable and even hated, BUT it will be a fragrance of life to others (2 Cor. 2:15,16). Take the risk to speak truth, truth unto eternal life. The gospel IS the power of God unto salvation.
And God has built 'community' in our hearts so that people ARE influenced by 'the crowd'.
The world needs a crowd of TRUTH speakers.
Oh Lord, raise up a righteous crowd! One who is living "to please You in all respects" (Col. 1:9-12) and (Titus 2:11-15) denying ungodliness and worldly desires and living sensibly, righteously, and godly in this present age... purified and zealous for good deeds.
Let us, like Ezra, set our heart to study the Word and to practice it and to teach it. (Ezra 7:10)
Let us KNOW the Word, ACT on it's truth in faith, rise up, and speak the truth in and out of season.
"I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom; preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." 2 Timothy 4:1-5
