Have you ever spoken in the righteousness of God and had others respond to you with disdain and indignation? Is your Christian witness under attack because you decided to stand for and in Truth? We live in a world where the works of the enemies of Truth are pervasive and popular. Opponents of Truth work aggressively to destroy lives and thwart the plans of God. Yet, the shackles placed on us by our adversary can be broken, loosed, and removed from our lives with the mighty weaponry of God.

The weapon of truth is a terror to the soldiers of satan's army and to the father of lies. When used in the name of Jesus, truth nullifies and frustrates all of our enemies' intentions and becomes the stronghold that is essential in the life of every believer of the Messiah.

Jesus Christ, our God is the Truth. Since there is no sin in Him, trickery of any kind will not be found in Him. There is no lying spirit that can ever subdue the Truth. Delusion, illusion, entrapment, conspiracy, subornation, seduction, misinformation, manipulation, betrayal, self-denial, self-pity, self-righteousness, or discouragement may be operative in our lives and have exalted themselves against the knowledge of God, but this kind will always be eradicated by Truth.

When we confront others with the Truth, it is not uncommon for anxiety and other forms of misery to expose themselves. Unmanaged speech, uncontrolled yelling, indecisiveness, capriciousness, and a firm stand for self-victimization are some distinguishable modes of expression found in those who work to deceive themselves and others. Surely, the flesh and cohorts of darkness detest Truth. Yet, in spite of their disapproval and objections, we must represent our God well by always standing for righteousness and holiness. Without a judgmental approach and self-righteous attitude, Children of God must never conform to the ways of the world for to do so is to condone sin.

We can expect hostility, rebellion and other demons of opposition to come our way when we live in the Truth and reject the lies of our enemy. In such moments of testing, we must make a judgment call, that opposes unrighteousness and upholds the standards that our God has set before us. Standing for righteousness is not always easy, but God is able to do all things (Luke 1:37), enables our hands to war (Psalm 18:34), hardens us to difficulties, (Isaiah 41:10). Hallelujah! Our God is just and righteous.
