Do You Really Hear
Truth
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know,
and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man,
if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth;
and I will pardon it.
Jeremiah 5:1
Then continue with verses 1- 6 and let the Holy Spirit preach to you for these days today!

Then, turn to John 18:37,38.  Pilate asks the big question and gives the typical follow-up:
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.  John 18:37,38

Note that Pilate obviously hears Jesus speak, but does he really 'hear his voice?  Obviously Pilate is not of the truth.  He doesn't even know what truth is and he was standing face to face with Truth.

Then also note that Pilate doesn't bother to wait for an answer! Why should he?  He wouldn't respond properly to it, anyway.  I believe He already knew the answer, but didn't know what to do with it!  He had truth right there in front of him but didn't hear it!


Folks, we have truth right in front of us today -
- but do we hear it?

Let's ask ourselves some serious questions about TRUTH - not just 'the truth,' but TRUTH!
(answer them to yourself - don't just 'hear' the question)

What is Truth?
Where is Truth today?
Who has Truth today?
Can people even have Truth today?
Can people ever hear Truth today?

Do people even "want" Truth?
Do people ever "long" for Truth?
Do people long to hear Truth?

What would they "do" with it if they had Truth?
Where would they "go" with it if they had Truth?
What would they do if they did hear Truth?

If you do already know you have Truth, do you actually hear it?
If you do already know you have Truth, what do you "do" with Truth?
If you already know you have Truth, where do you "go" with Truth?
If you already know you have Truth, do you seek to "know more" of it than what you know now?

Do you think you would ever be "ashamed" of Truth?
Do you ever have "doubts" about the truth of Truth?
Do you ever act on your 'doubts?'


Let's see man's definition of Truth: Exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be.
That is a good definition, especially when you see what Jesus says in John 8:58 says.  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

It looks to me that as the I AM, Jesus is, has been and shall be.
Jesus Christ must be TRUTH!

Even though the Pharisees were trying to 'entangle him in his talk,' 'catch Jesus in his words,'
they didn't know it, but they were right when they said:
Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth,
neither carest thou for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men.
Matthew 22:15,16; Mark 12:14

That is how truth operates - without regard to anything or anyone -
- the is, the has been and the shall be - that is TRUTH!


Let's see what the Holy Bible says about Truth:

God is called the God of truth - Psalm 31:5
God's works are done in truth - Psalm 33:4
God must be worshipped in spirit and truth and seeketh such to worship him - John 4:23,24
God will be nigh to them that call upon him ... in truth - Psalm 145:18  (rightly dividing the word of truth - II Timothy 2:15; established in 'present' truth - II Peter 1:12)

God's word is truth - John 17:17  ...thy word is truth.
John 1:1,14  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us... God's word is truth, Jesus is the Word, thus Jesus is truth!

Jesus is full of grace and truth - John 1:14
Jesus brings grace and truth - John 1:17
Jesus is the truth - John 14:6
The truth is in Jesus - Ephesians 4:21  If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Jesus bears witness to the truth. Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice.  John 18:37b

Gods' Spirit is truth - I John 5:6  This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

God's law and commandments are the truth - Psalm 119:142, 151

Conclusion:  God is truth; Jesus Christ is truth; Holy Spirit is truth!
The words they say is TRUTH!
This King James Bible is TRUTH!
It is Absolute Truth!
It is Authorized Truth!

It seems so simple,eh!

But why must we bottle feed Christians today?  Nothing should offend them if it is from the Book!  Even if it is about our family, our spouse, our children, our job, our walk, our look, our day - to day activity, our life, our pleasures, our music, mouth, our flesh, our opinion, our teaching, our beliefs, ourSELVES.

Let's ask those questions again...  Do you want to change any of your first answers now?

What is Truth?
Where is Truth today?
Who has Truth today?
Can people even have Truth today?
Can people ever hear Truth today?

Do people even "want" Truth?
Do people ever "long" for Truth?
Do people long to hear Truth?

What would they "do" with it if they had Truth?
Where would they "go" with it if they had Truth?
What would they do if they did hear Truth?

If you do already know you have Truth, do you actually hear it?
If you do already know you have Truth, what do you "do" with Truth?
If you already know you have Truth, where do you "go" with Truth?
If you already know you have Truth, do you seek to "know more" of it than what you know now?

Do you think you would ever be "ashamed" of Truth?
Do you ever have "doubts" about the truth of Truth?
Do you ever act on your 'doubts?'


Well, even today, truth is still available...
but it is being attacked and the attack will not stop!
Are you attacking it or attracting with it?

Truth is our only ammunition left!

Truth affects our local church family!
Truth affects our personal family!
Truth affects our testimonies!

Truth authenticates our walk!

Truth is applicable to everything!

Truth is the answer to everything!

Truth is alive...
...anointed
... our greatest adventure
...our best accommodations
...our only ally


 I would that you would be aspired and inspired to live right - to follow Truth...
...to please God!

Psalm 108:4  For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
Psalm 85:11   Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

Psalm 100:5  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 117:2  For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever.  Praise ye the LORD.

But TRUTH won't be here much longer - at least not in this dispensation!

Amos 8:11-13  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:  And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.  In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

Obeying the Truth is not only for your inheritance,
but it is for HIS glory - and for the souls of others!
