"The Highest Level of Reality is Truth"

““But he who practices truth [who does what is right] comes out into the Light; so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are–wrought with God [divinely prompted, done with God's help, in dependence upon Him].”
John 3:21 AMP

There is something about fighting for truth; Standing for what is right, what is pure. The bible teaches us that we will know the truth and IT shall set us free. But what is truth? 

Truth, as beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. We see what we want to see, hear what we want to hear. 
In fact, because for some, the thin line of separation between the Spirit man and the natural man has not been breached, we tend to gear ourselves to what is appealing to the eye, or what makes sense to our emotions. 

We confuse perception or discernment with unjustly opinion based on self -- often based on the opinion or approval of others. 

I've never been one to be a people pleaser. As a matter of fact, I think because of my desire for truth, I am often outspoken or as some would say, "wear my emotions on my sleeves". Don't invite me to play poker, because I DO NOT have a poker face.

I do however, have compassion. Underneath my shield of protection, and ranting struggle to proof the truth, I dislike confrontation. I don't wish ridicule or harm, even on my worse enemy. 

Let's go back really quick to the thin line between the Spirit being and natural being. The bible says that those who worship in Spirit, worship in Spirit and in TRUTH (John 4:24). 

The thin invisible line is breached when we let ourselves go from the reality of the atmosphere we begin in, and penetrate into a realm that exists but can only be reached, when we ignore what seems to be real, in order to See, Feel, Hear, Experience what is TRUTH... 

"There is no spoon" lol (Remember the movie from the 90's, The Matrix?) 
The truth is, Yes! there IS a spoon, what is questionable then is whether or not you believe you can make it bend. 

This is the battle. This is where the fight comes in. When you are up to something, because you believe in it to the point of death, when you are following a vision you believe to be of God; when you have to stand before non believers (non believers of what you carry or what you believe in) you have to be convinced not that you're right, but that IT IS TRUE! "With God, ALL things are possible" (Matthew 19:26) and in John 3:21 (AMP) it says that “But he who practices truth [who does what is right] comes out into the Light; so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are–wrought with God [divinely prompted, done with God's help, in dependence upon Him].” 

No matter who questions your actions; who criticizes your works; speaks behind your back; chooses not to endorse you for the sake of pleasing the multitudes -- God is not a man that He should lie with what He placed inside of you. And you know how you know that it is Him? 
Because His Spirit IN YOU (not what meets the eye; not what feels good or bad; what you like or don't like) but the Spirit IN YOU, bears witness and gives you peace. 

When you stand for truth, what can you expect as your end result? Fruit that's everlasting which is the approval of God. The New King James translation says: “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.””
John 3:21. 

The greatest example of Truth-ignored was the story in Matthew 26:11-24. Pilate had The TRUTH standing before him. Even his wife, warned him because it came to her in a dream (dreams are another example we can breach the thin line between the natural and the supernatural), but he ignored truth, in order to please the crowd. God allowed it though, because He makes all things work together for our good (Romans 8:28). 

I have learned NOT to be intimidated by the crowds, by the multitudes, even by those dressed as High Priests (just because they were the cloaks and speak the right words, doesn't mean they are not speaking for their own benefit or as we say today, personal agenda). Sometimes God will allow us to go through seasons where we encounter people and situations like these, but rest assured that He himself will give us the grace to overcome, if we stay the course and DON'T DENY THE TRUTH

Do what is right, in the sight of God and the sight of man. That means respecting ALL authority (even when it's hard). It means loving those who are tough to love, but always pursuing the greater purpose. Every single one of us, has an original intent and we will not be successful, happy or satisfied, less we achieve it. 

Your deeds, (the work of your hands) what you believe for, in obedience to God (and GENUINE, GOD-fearing earthly authority), and what you do WITH GOD (His help), will be CLEARLY SEEN (by the naysayers, doubters and critics) that "they have been done in God" and for HIS GLORY

Let Truth prevail. Let it testify for you

My Spiritual Father taught me that, "man will often criticize what they can't produce". In the end, they will imitate you, not because you were right, but because God was with you "and by  fruits you will be known."

“Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
“Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:14; 20 NKJV

The work of your hands will be blessed and what you watered will grow in God. Those you believed in, the "Davids" that no one saw, the lowly you opened your home to that others brushed off because they didn't "look the part", will be approved and they will shine bright with truth. 

We were called to lead people to the truth; To love them, teach them, even empower them, and then send them forth to do the same. Until the whole world knows: The Truth. #Jesus
