WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH EXPECT TO BE LIED ABOUT

It’s not easy to speak the truth today because most people live in darkness, deception and sin and hate it when anyone exposes the truth about them. Jesus came and exposed the sins and hearts of the Pharisees and they hated Him even to the point of killing Him. It’s much easier to go with the flow and look the other way when people are doing evil things instead of standing up for truth and righteousness.

Many in families have parents who are choosing to allow sin to dominate their lives. Some even may go to church but still aren’t living with love in their hearts or righteously because their appearance of good means more than actually walking in love like Jesus. They often have one child who sees the evil, lies and deception the parents are living in and then call it out because they actually have a moral compass. That child is then treated with disdain like a scapegoat and blamed for every thing that goes wrong in the family. They are lied about constantly because the demons in them are angry at the child for exposing them. That same family often has other children who simply look the other way and tolerate the sin in their parents and can be treated like they can do no wrong – the golden child.

The same thing happens in life when you choose to stand up and obey what the Bible says and walk in the fruit of the spirit. You are one of the few choosing to do this so don’t be surprised when you get attacked, lied about and your character maligned by most people who will hate you as they try to destroy you.

When you stand up and obey Jesus expect to be lied about by others who are living sinful lives. People with the spirit of Jezebel love to lie, gossip and accuse godly people of the same sinful behaviors that they are actually living.

You will often need to separate yourself from people who refuse to live in truth, even your family members.

Matthew 10:34-37 NKJV

““Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”
