[h=1][/h]Many of us are afraid to speak the truth especially publicly. We are afraid to stand firm and speak against evil acts like homosexuality, abortion, fornication, adultery, lying, swearing etc. In short, we are afraid to speak against evil in this our generation especially publicly.

Now that we are afraid to speak the truth, who are we expecting to speak the truth for us? Are we expecting the devil and his agents to speak the truth for us? They can never speak the truth because there is no truth in them and evil is their nature. The devil does nothing without sin. Sin is his nature and he is the father of lies.


Fear to speak the truth stops us from speaking the truth and this allows evil to grow and spread in our societies. For example, if corruption starts in a company and the workers and the people there are quiet about it and do not speak against it, in order to expose it and stop it; what will happen next is that the corruption will grow and spread in the company and the end result of this is the destruction of the company due to the corruption. This is the same with evil and corruption is evil. When we are afraid to speak against evil, it grows and spreads in our societies and it destroys our societies.


So we must speak against evil in order to expose it and stop it from spreading. Speaking against evil is making awareness of it so that the society will be aware of it and not be fooled by the devil. This can only be done by speaking the truth against evil. Remember, the Truth is JESUS and JESUS is the Truth and HE is also the Light. Evil is darkness and it is only the Truth which is Light that can expose it.


We should take note that evil can never expose evil e.g. can lying expose lying? Can corruption expose corruption? Can killing expose killing? Can darkness expose darkness? No, it can never. So we all can now see that evil can never expose evil.


We must not be afraid to speak the truth. Speaking the truth and doing it will set us free. JESUS who is the Truth said to us “I am with you even to the end of the earth”. We should not be afraid to speak the Truth. Our LORD JESUS is with us.


Thank you LORD JESUS for you are the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one comes to the FATHER (GOD Almighty) except through you.
Give thanks and praises to the LORD GOD Almighty for HE is Truth.


Thanks
JESUS IS LORD.

Speaking truth is good. Christians are supposed to expose evil and be 'salty'. If one doesn't do this, they don't have the Holy Spirit and they're speaking lies while hiding behind Christ's good name. Any man who seeks truth, justice, holiness and righteousness will find Christ. We are his army of truth. We fear nothing but Christ alone.
Mathew 7:21-23 - "21 Not everyone who saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say unto me that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out devils? and in thy name done wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

The Holy Spirit, he gives you a mouth that professes godliness and a sound mind to know right from wrong. If you deny him, you deny your God no matter how much you call yourself a Christian. That is merely an earthly and worldly tittle without the meaning.
You need the Holy Spirit, otherwise you are not a Christian. A man that has killed and is rotten to the core, but has a good heart, is a better man than a lying 'Christian' even if he doesn't know scripture or has never read the Bible. Hiding behind scripture with nothing to back it up doesn't make Jesus love you or care.
You really can't expose anything without Jesus or fight evil without Jesus. You just can't.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
My dear sister, you have said it absolutely well.
"We fear nothing but CHRIST alone."
I thank the HOLY SPIRIT for the boldness HE has given you to speak the Truth and stand Firm for it.
I love what you wrote. The Truth must be spoken.
Thanks be to GOD ALMIGHTY our HOLY FATHER for HE has put HIS Seal upon us and given us HIS SPIRIT in our hearts as a guarantee.
Glory to GOD for ever in JESUS' NAME.

Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth in that instance you may have good reason to be afraid.

No my dear brother. JESUS CHRIST our Blessed LORD said, "... Learn from Me ( Matthew 11:29)." HE was never afraid to speak the truth so, we must not be afraid also.

Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth in that instance you may have good reason to be afraid.
