Pilate therefore said unto Him, Are You a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.  Every one that is of the truth hears My voice.

John 18:37

Battle Prayer
By: Elzie Mayfield Williams

High above the clouded sky
my rescued soul rejoices
It bid my wretched self, good-bye
and arose above bad choices

I prayed, Dear Lord, Deliver me
He heard my urgent request
His grace took hold and set me free
and put my soul at rest

(so) I thank you lord, so very much
for sending forth your Son
and when I’m tested, I’ll seek your touch
for I know in my heart the battle’s already won

Good Morning Beloved,

Thank God for Truth.  Contrary to popular opinion, there is a Truth that never changes.  The Truth of the Gospel… God sending His son for lost humanity (John 3:16).  Jesus is the way, the TRUTH and the life no one comes to the Father except by Him (John 14:6).  He is the door (John 10:7).  Jesus told Pilate that everyone who is of the truth will hear Him.  They hear Him in their heart.  What He says will connect with their spirit.  My mother used to tell me not to argue with people over the bible.  No matter how well thought out your point, there are some who do not want to believe, and will argue, just for the sake of arguing.  They have already made up their mind, they do not want Jesus or the Bible.  We are admonished to “go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come” (Luke 14:23), but there is also a time when we will have to “shake the dust off of our feet and move on” (Mark 6:11).  We use discernment, to distinguish between the two.  Hearing and receiving the Truth is how we all became children of God.  By the same token, hearing and receiving truth is our answer to whatever question we are dealing with today.  Sometimes the truth hurts.  It is not pleasant to hear what we are doing, or not doing, that is contributing to the problem, but when we take heed change is inevitable.  It is worth the initial ‘hurt feelings’ if in the end we fix the issue.  Remember the ultimate goal is for us to look like Jesus… different looks, likes, dislikes, assignments, personalities… same Holy Spirit… same destination.

…. and that Beloved is Good News!

U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Day
