This morning I send God’s love and speedy healing. Part of being a great leader is learning how to accept the truth. The truth should not be viewed as criticism or sarcasm.

Allow truth to flow into your spirit as wisdom from God. As truth takes its position and is received – apply it as knowledge.

Good decisions should be made through the lens of God’s love and a desire to please the Lord. A decision should never be based on vindicating oneself in any manner.

Also, correct decisions should be made while going through spiritual warfare. We fight demons and spirits with the Word of God. Aggression should never be taken out on a person.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

This country (America) is in great turmoil because men are trying to change the perception of truth – not accept the reality of truth.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32

When you receive a word of correction rejoice – so you will not enter a downward spiral.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. Proverbs 19:18

7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. 8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. 9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. 10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. 12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. Daniel 10:7-12

Rejection is a spirit that Christians have great difficulty handling. Most times – we shut down, retrieve, or lash out when we feel rejected.

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27

Carnal terminology defines rejection as a person wears their feelings on their shoulder.

Truth has a permanent record. Its words never fade. Truth cannot be abolished or impeached. Tell the Lord’s story and you will always be speaking truth.

Proverbs 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

1 Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
