Truth Be Told

Matthew 15:8

“These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”

I was amazed when I heard that Key government players/officials texted scriptures to one another during the hour of forced truth (Perjury penalty).  I found it interesting that they comforted one another with God’s word as they sat and were forced to tell the truth to Americans. 

God knows that truth is needed.  God is exposing the truth.  But what role did government officials play in the truth when they knowingly and wittingly knew truth and bartered it for ambition and power? They traded (and trade) righteousness for favor and current/future positions of power and wealth.

Do they somehow think that God is pleased because they attach a scripture to the  righteousness that was thrust upon them by an invitation or subpoena?  Is God (El Elyon=“God Most High”) really in their minds reduced to an idea/being that can be manipulated and used to bring glory to man?   Is God so conveniently small (for them) that man now has usurped God’s righteous  plan for truth to accommodate themselves? Is the truth to be bartered and held or released as it is convenient for gain? Has man finally outsmarted God? Does man manipulate, control, and lead blindly other men into lies and error?

How cheap are  “righteous clothes” when they are forced to be worn!

No man is born righteous (Romans 3:23). No man achieves righteousness (on his own) (Isaiah 64:6),  and no man has righteousness thrust (forced) (Revelation 22:17 )upon him.  He must choose righteousness and become the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ (2nd  Corinthians 5:21). This requires knowing and obeying God’s truth and word whether or not it is convenient for your personal or political agenda.

I weep for those who barter truth for gain because I know their end.  They seek the living among the dead (Luke 24:5).  Ambition, power, and  money are  dead treasures  if you factor in eternity.  These dead treasures have no life or existence in eternity. They are not the currency of God, heaven, or eternal life. What does God say?  Elohim (Creator of all things)  says, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:34-38)

A gestational plan was conceived, but not allowed by God to be birthed.   God intervened and did not allow an illegally  planned act to come forth.  After all, He is in control of all things.  We must remember that. Except for His grace and truth, unrighteousness would constantly prevail.

Thus, we pray (Luke 18:1).  And we pray hard (James 5:16), without ceasing we pray (1st Thessalonians 5: 17-19), without growing weary we pray (1st Corinthians 15:58, Galatians 6:9).  Truth be told, the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous are availing much  (James 5:16).  God loves and honors righteousness. Watch and see.

“I will break down and destroy every alibi and excuse and lie of  unrighteousness. I am a God who loves righteousness.” (Rhema Word)

Why "Hepzibah in Training?"

More than twenty five years ago I stood in a powerful praise and worship service. As I entered into worship weeping in the presence of the King, I heard the voice of Jesus in my spirit. He called me two names. The first name was Hephzibah and the second was Beulah. I was stunned and immediately sat down on the bench to ponder these two names. Neither of these names appeared flattering to me.



I left church and called my sister, a mighty warrior of God, and told her that God had called me two names. Her reply was “If God called me names; I needed to find out what they meant.” I searched scripture and found that the name Hephzibah means, “The Lord delights in her” and that Beulah meant, “Thy land is married (committed, spoken for, etc). Needless to say, I was delighted in the significance of these two names that my Savior has bestowed upon me. My goal and treasure in life is to fulfill the plan for my life on this side of Eternity and to train for the other side of Eternity.



I offer you the revelations, thoughts, and meditations that God imparts to me in this blog “Hepzibah In Training”.



I thank you for your comments.
