THE PRESENT TRUTH

PART TWO

“For this reason I will not be negligent
to remind you always of these things,
though you know and are established in the present truth”
II PETER 1:12

Present truth should produce in us a life that is the revelation of HIM who is TRUTH in the NOW of our lives. If any ministry finds contentment in simply giving forth a teaching, a sermon or a theologically correct seminar without expecting a corresponding revelation of that LIFE of Christ within the recipients of that word; then they know not the heart, life or purpose of all ministry.

True ministry should be to the end that the people of God are strengthened in the truth in the NOW or the PRESENT tense of their lives. It is truth alone that can strengthen us to live in the present moment. There are many with great knowledge and who have been exposed to all the latest teachings; yet when it comes to LIVING His Life in the present tense there is a tremendous lack of reality. This is because we tend to equate teaching with truth rather than seeing that teaching only becomes truth in us through the medium of obedience. It is in us becoming strengthened and established in the PRESENT TRUTH that we really know the truth. The Name of the Lord as revealed to Moses is the I AM. His purpose for us is to live our daily lives in the showing forth of HIM as the great I AM.

HE is our refuge and our present help in time of need in every situation. He is to be our strong tower, our Rock and the lifter of our head when our hearts are overwhelmed in the midst of trouble. Let us go on and find HIM in this day, tomorrow and the days that are soon to be upon us. HE is our strength and our God who is ever HERE to make us stand in the evil DAY.

“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
even though the earth be removed”
PSALM 46:1

Ω

“To me, it has been a source of great comfort and strength
in the day of battle, just to remember that the
secret of steadfastness, and indeed, of victory,
is the recognition that
“the Lord is at hand.”
