Psalm 119:29-30
King James Version
29 Remove from me the way of lying:
and grant me thy law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth:
thy judgments have I laid before me.
How much of the news is believable?
Are these reliable?
Are these truthful?
How can one discern?
Should the news get you all worried?
Should you get all excited?
How can you tell truth, from propaganda?
Where do the news lead you?
How is it affecting you?
Can you trust it?
We live in a world of social media.
We switch on our gadgets, and there's news.
We have a horde of news to choose from.
News never sleeps.
It's a very hungry system.
Which needs constant feeding.
More often than not, it likes juicy, tasty "morsels".
Enticing you to believe the gossip, or disinformation.
That's why reporters scramble for a "scoop".
Just like with everything in this world, it's for "profit".
But it hardly profits our soul.
As born again, I only trust ONE SOURCE, and ONE SPIRIT.
And these don't belong to the world of news.
But They belong to the strong, sure, and steady:
JESUS and the HOLY SPIRIT
Whatever the world presents, the Bible already knows.
It gives us past, present, and future.
World news doesn't make us panic.
We merely pray for GOD's will.
And await fulfillment of Scripture.
Which it always does.
Habakkuk 2:3
King James Version
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time,
but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:
though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come,
it will not tarry.
You can only comprehend, and accept this, if you're born again.
SPIRIT and Scripture will lead you to GOD's TRUTH.
Which is the ONLY reliable thing in the world.
Keeping you safe from harm, or manipulation.
Keeping your soul, saved.
Keeping you informed.
World news changes all the time.
GOD's TRUTH remains.
JESUS tells you Himself what to believe in, and what not to:
John 8:31-32
King James Version
31 Then said Jesus
to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:44-45
King James Version
44 Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth,
ye believe me not.
John 8:46-47
King James Version
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin?
And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not,
because ye are not of God.
John 10:27-28
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand.
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
JESUS honors GOD, the FATHER, here:
John 17:8
King James Version
8 For I have given unto them the words
which thou gavest me;
and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:14
King James Version
14 I have given them thy word;
and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
John 17:17
King James Version
17 Sanctify them through thy truth:
thy word is truth.
John 17:18-19
King James Version
18 As thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself,
that they also might be sanctified
through the truth.
John 17:22
King James Version
22 And the glory which thou gavest me
I have given them;
that they may be one, even as we are one:
John 17:23
King James Version
23 I in them, and thou in me,
that they may be made perfect in one;
and that the world may know
that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them,
as thou hast loved me.
Anything that conforms to JESUS, is TRUE.
Anything that doesn't, belongs to His enemy.
That's how you can tell truth, from propaganda.
JESUS is LOVE.
Satan is hatred.
JESUS is PEACE.
Satan is war.
JESUS is DIVINE simplicity.
Satan is evil complexity.
JESUS is TRUTH.
Satan is a liar.
JESUS is LIFE.
Satan is death.
JESUS is LIGHT.
Satan is darkness.
JESUS is PERFECTION.
Satan is sin.
JESUS is SALVATION.
Satan is destruction.
JESUS is a GIVER.
Satan is a taker.
It's really that simple.
Find your truth in JESUS.
In these last days, focus on JESUS alone.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
Focus on the GOOD news:
Hosea 6:1-2
King James Version
6 Come,
and let us return unto the Lord:
for he hath torn, and he will heal us;
he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight.
