Truth Or Consequences

"I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him."

I received a word from the Lord a couple months ago that reveals what is happening in the world and in certain factions within the Church. He said "your priority must become to know truth not to be right. If you are walking in truth you will never have to worry about being right."

When Jesus told the disciples He would send the Holy Spirit He said He would lead us into all truth, "all truth" is something the world has no desire to know, in fact no truth is desired by the world today. The powers that be want to use facts to support an agenda and truth interferes with that plan. It is because facts can be manipulated to prove a position, but truth cannot, that truth is rejected. Pride and prejudice are driving the world, and many believers, toward destruction and unless the desire to know truth becomes stronger than the desire to be right that destruction is certain.

Today I believe the Lord would have us all ask Him to lead us into truth and to open our hearts to receive it. In many cases that will mean our theology must become flexible, and in some cases rejected. Biblical doctrine must override personal/Church doctrine if we are going to walk in all truth. Being right will not matter if we are walking with the Holy Spirit desiring only to know truth. We cannot expect the world to accept "Truth" because it is not part of their agenda but it must be our only agenda because it is truth that will ensure our freedom.

"Where the Spirit of the Lord (truth) is there is freedom" but where the need to be right is there is oppression and despair.
