Truth Written by Joyce C. Lock
Continued from page 1
These are things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man truth to his neighbour; execute judgment of truth and peace in your gates. He that doeth truth cometh to light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. The hour cometh, and now is, when true worshippers shall worship Father in spirit and in truth: for Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. (For fruit of Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on breastplate of righteousness. For hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in word of truth of gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since day ye heard of it, and knew grace of God in truth. Of his own will begat he us with word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not truth: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and truth is not in us. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and truth is not in him. I have not written unto you because ye know not truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of truth. But anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we spirit of truth, and spirit of error. The elder unto elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known truth; Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God Father, and from Lord Jesus Christ, Son of Father, in truth and love. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from Father. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to truth.

Continued from page 1
Then LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and deceit of their heart. Therefore thus saith LORD concerning prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. That they may possess remnant of Edom, and of all heathen, which are called by my name, saith LORD that doeth this. And I will bring third part through fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. For from rising of sun even unto going down of same my name shall be great among Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among heathen, saith Lord of hosts. But unto you that fear my name shall Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of stall. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::»:§«»§«»§«»§«»§:«::::::::::::::::::::::::::: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on sick, and they shall recover. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that Father may be glorified in Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. But Comforter, which is Holy Ghost, whom Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of Father in my name, he may give it you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in midst of them.
