Get In The Battle For The Truth

Don’t become hardened by what is happening in the world. Allow your compassion for the next generation to cause you to rise up and leave a lasting legacy.

Different world leaders, a robust economy, or a happy family is not going to reverse the tide of the growing sense of lack and personal identity crisis that has gripped a vast number of people in our nation.

What the world needs is to open their eyes to the truth, their personal truth, and the power that is within each one of us to make a difference. Christians are to be like salt in a world that is thirsty for the truth (Matthew 5:13–16).

The reason we are in the situation we are in with widespread corruption, apathy, atheism, idolatry, and dissidence is that people are not understanding their role. They are not feeling a sense of obligation and a duty to rise up and condemn evil and call out sin.

We can’t teach the younger generation how to get in the battle for the truth if we aren’t doing so ourselves.

How do you get in the battle for the truth?

Know what is the truth before you speak. Too many people are repeating what they hear on television or from someone at work—distortions and lies. In doing so, they are causing others to stumble (James 3:5–6). Don’t be lazy and buy into things you hear hook, line, and sinker. Do your research. There are a lot of false prophets, false teachers, and bad information floating around.
Pray daily for God to ignite your spiritual gifts and abilities so you can be a steward of the gospel of Jesus Christ and bring light to a fallen and dying world (Acts 13:1–4; Ephesians 3:16).
Pray for all light beings to rise up, hold hands, and circle the earth (Matthew 5:16). Let’s warm the earth with our healing light—layer after layer. Let the dark spots be illuminated. Let the truth surface. Let us pray for those who are expressing their pain and shame in hateful ways to be healed.
Speak words of empowerment and encouragement, not fear. Let wisdom cry out and understanding fill your voice (Proverbs 8:1).
Get command over your emotions by practicing self-discipline so that you are not ruled by them and say and do ungodly things you may regret (Proverbs 25:28).
Be proud to be a Christian.
Spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pray to God for wisdom and deliverance from the enemy!
Announce your goals!
Motivate the people around you!
Come up with a plan!
Be fully alive and present!
Practice forgiveness and let go of your past.
Think about what you want to be remembered for and focus on that.
Testify that the hand of God and His favor is behind your project.
