“Judge me, O Lord my God…”
Psalm 35:24
To desire truth is to seek God’s judgment. Salvation from self comes to those who seek His verdict in their lives. We are to live to honour Him to whom every life must give an account. The fear of God causes us to seek His estimation of things here, that we may anticipate His joy hereafter.
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant…
enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
Matthew 25:21
To live a life of eternal consequence requires a life lived in His Will. His Will is our light. Jesus the Christ lived in the Will of the Father; His Will accomplished in me is the Light of the world. There is no lasting light apart from Christ.
“In Him was life;
and the life was the light of men.”
John 1:4
His Life lived in us is “the light of men.”
“Turn you at My reproof:
behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you,
I will make known My words unto you.”
Proverbs 1:23

It is light that enables us to

and it is Christ that gives us light.”

Truth Has Fallen
Isaiah 59:14-15 (NKJV)
14 Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
15 So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Redeemer of Zion
Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
I had a dream/ night vision March 19, 2024 where I saw a belt laying the street. The belt I saw in the dream had a name……Truth…… the belt looked as though an individual had allowed it to slip off as it was still buckled. whether this was done carelessly or purposefully wasnt disclosed in the dream. I then saw evil people kicking the belt around as one would kick a ball. However, there was a reason why those kicking around the ball were doing so which I will now detail.
In Ephesians 6 it commands the believer to armor up.
Ephesians 6:13-18 (NKJV)
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
In my dream I saw an individual with all the armor except the belt of truth which, according to the aforementioned passage of scripture, is the first piece of the armor one is to put on and is necessary for the other pieces to function. Imagine being armored up but not having on a belt. Now further imagine chasing after the belt, “of truth”, being kicked around to keep it away from the individual in pursuit of it all the while trying to hold onto the other parts of the armor and hold onto one’s pants. The other parts of the armor cannot function properly without first, ” gilding your loins”, with the belt of truth. There is an order in putting on the armor and must be done every day. The belt of God’s truth and the knowledge of God’s Word through careful study is to be the center of one’s being. Knowledge of the truth gives instruction as to the use of the other pieces. Next comes the breastplate of righteousness which guards your heart. Next comes your feet to be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Next comes the shield of faith whereby the firey darts of the devil are quenched. Then comes the helmet of salvation that protects the mind. Last but not least is the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and the only offensive weapon at the Christian’s
A powerful and accurate portrayal of today. If we do not hold the truth, everything else has little value. Blessed be the Name of the Lord who is our truth and hope in this life and the life to come.
