It's one thing to tell people about God; it's another thing to be a living witness of His truth. Truth is an effective witness when our speech and actions are one. Truth has a confidence in God that believes He is in control and He works all circumstances for our good. When Truth stands before the unsaved and God begins to reveal Himself through our lives, the truth that is in us will force a man to search his heart. The man or woman that is a witness to truth shows a dying world that there is a Living God that bears witness to Himself through our lives.

The moment we do not do the very things that the Lord speaks to us, something apart from the spirit of God will begin to form in our heart and cause us to stray from the word of God. Partial repentance says we are sorry for our sins but we will not experience change or conversion. God will be faithful to send a spirit filled person to lead us back in the right direction. Will you resist this person or will you allow the Light of God's Word to expose your darkness? True repentance brings us to a place of powerlessness so that the Holy Spirit can come and supernaturally move us forward.

What is the lesson we can learn from Ananias and Saphira? How could they think they could get the Holy Spirit to be a partaker of their lie? The enemy will bring a deception into our heart that says we can live in sin and hypocrisy because God does not mean what He says. We will stand before a Holy God and everything that is dark will be brought into the light of Christ. Jesus Christ has made every provision for us to live a life of purity. God wants to bury our sin and old nature so that we may live in the fear of God. We can choose to bury our sins today or our sins will bury us tomorrow. It is time to get real with God!
 

In the spirit, there are gravitational pulls with increased troubles that can cause our life to spin out of control. Just as the tides of life are high one day and low the next we can be sure that God is in complete control. In the seasons of low tides we can cry out to God and the life force of the Holy Spirit will cause us to be drawn to Jesus and ground us in His love and faithfulness. Jesus Christ is more powerful that any force of darkness or evil that works against our heart and mind. It is the power of Jesus that will keep us from spinning out of control!

In these troubled times we see revenge, payback and escalating violence. The story of Samson reveals a crucial truth in our personal lives, social lives and community. We are called to understand and walk in the way of peace.

كثيراً ما تتكون لدينا فى مرحلة الطفولة صورة مثالية عن ما نرجو أن نكون عليه فى المستقبل و كثيراً ما يكون الواقع مخالفاً لهذه الصورة فنواجه خيبة الامل و الحزن الشديد. و لكن يأتى الرب يسوع كما ترأى لتلميذى عمواس ليكشف لنا عما يريده فى حياتنا و يرينا صورة لمستقبلنا تفوق كل ما نرسمه لانفسنا .

دائما ما تتبع الانتصارات الروحبة باوقات من الجفاف الروحى و لكن الرب يكشف لنا عن طبيعته الالهية خلال ما نمر به من صعاب . فإن كنت تمر بفترة من الجفاف الروحى فهذا يعنى أنك ستخرج منها لترى معجزة فى حياتك فالارض الجافة هى الطريق إلى أرض الموعد و على هذه الارض تحطمت عجلات فرعون و يعدنا الرب بانه سيظهر ذاته لنا فى هذه الارض الجافة و ينبع لنا منها حياة جديدة
