Today I thought I would entitle my message, “truth!” I always find it so good to hear the truth and so often in the world we do not hear the truth. Something that I really like about the Bible is that it is God’s living word. It is the truth, and it gives us a future. There are not many things in life that we can trust.
Yesterday, I was sharing the lockdown files in the Daily Telegraph and in today’s Telegraph we can see exactly the same. We see all sorts of things that I won’t go into detail about. However, we do know that regarding the lockdown’s, sadly we were not told the truth. Although we were led to believe that we were hearing the truth, although personally I believed that we were being lied too massively!
And, also yesterday, we looked at Dr John Campbell’s video about mask wearing. The good thing about Dr John is that he is very honest, and he admits that he doesn’t always get it right, but at least he does put his hands up! We were told that we must wear a mask, it’s important to protect others and the vulnerable! In Dr John’s video, we are now told that the masks do not do any good or if it does, it is absolutely minimal. He also lines his findings up with real facts and documents.
I’m pleased that eventually the truth is coming out, although it is taking time. The good thing is with the Bible, the truth is guaranteed, it’s God’s word and we need to believe it. I’m on a platform here, I have actually been on this platform for almost 9 years. I have worked online part-time for several years, I started out in about 2004 online. Before I started online, I didn’t know what to do, I needed something to guide me as there was so much rubbish and lies and scams online! This platform is genuine, it is telling the truth, yes, it’s not gods word, but I trust it as I have learnt enough to know what works and what doesn’t work.
However, there’s nothing more truthful than God’s word, there are no ifs and buts, it is the truth, it’s written by anointed men of God. Sometimes when I come back to my online platform, I may need to check something out, to make sure. However, when I come to the word of God, it is full truth and something that I really like and know is truth.
Maybe you struggle to believe that I did. I have been a believer for around 25 years, I was brought up in a Christian home. As a child, I believed, as my parents told me! However, as a teenager, I started to doubt and a couldn’t really believe what the Bible was saying. I came to the point where I just did not believe until the Bible and Christians were talking rubbish. Thankfully things have changed, I was blind, massively, but now I see, massively big time, the word of God is truth!
If we look Scripture and we turn to Genesis 1:1 – 5, it reads.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness [a]was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. [b]So the evening and the morning were the first day.
When I hear that the spirit of God was hovering over the waters, that sounds like a good thing to me! I have seen and felt the spirit of God many times! I believe that some people struggle with Genesis, but as I have said before, when I first believed I decided to fully believe. There were things that I didn’t understand, but I chose to believe! I knew that my way in life wasn’t working, I did not believe. So, I really made a commitment to believe what the Bible said and to go with it. I thought there has to be more to life than working and playing hard. I’m so glad I chose to believe what the word of God says.
