The Girdle of Truth is the first thing a Christian puts on in warfare, holding the entire assembly together. If you think a Playtex girdle that can shape a rebellious figure into an hourglass figure is powerful, you haven't seen anything yet. In time of battle, soldiers would tuck their war skirts into their belts so that they would be ready for a fight. Tuck your war skirt in the Girdle of Truth and get ready for a fight.
The word "truth" from the Girdle of Truth is ἀληθείᾳ (alētheia), meaning sincerity or not being hidden. Sincerity comes from two Latin words, "sine" and "cera," meaning "without wax." In the time of Paul, statues that did not have a hairline crack were priceless. When a crack developed in a statue, the owner took wax and rock dust and poured them into the cracks, making the statue appear perfect. The solution for the purchaser was to take the statue outside and let it sit in the sun until all the wax ran out of the cracks, obviously manifesting the hidden imperfections. Many of you look great on the outside but have hairline cracks with wax, and underneath the cosmetology of the heart there is hidden, secret sin. God is turning up the heat and exposing the fakes, the phony, the pompous, and the religious stuffed shirts. Walking wax Christians are covered in wax-put them in the heat and see how sincere they are.
What is the difference between a Playtex girdle and the Girdle of Truth? One is cosmetic, and the other is the real deal. Are you a cosmetic Playtex Christian, or are you the real deal?
Are you wearing a miracle Playtex girdle or the Girdle of Truth? Are you real? Are you sincere? Are you rebellious, or are you righteous? Are you a counterfeit, or are you consecrated? Are you artificial, or are you actual? Are you a pretender, or are you a possessor? Are you a buff for flakes and fruit theology? Are you a cookie-cutter, counterfeit Charismatic? Are you attracted to the ritual, or are you redeemed? Are you attracted to the ceremony, or are you attracted to Jesus Christ? Are you singing about a heaven you are never going to see? Do you want to feel good without being good? Are you trying to get into heaven while trying to live like hell?
Do you receive the truth with sincerity? Sincerity without truth is deception. Many are sincere about their false doctrine but are leading the hordes to hell. Deliverance ministers dialoguing with fake, made-up Charismatic spirits are sincere but are in the blows of deception. Charismatics looking for plastic in each other's ears are sincere but are in deception. Spiritual people blowing bubbles, trying to communicate with goldfish, are sincere but are in a watery deception.
Secular humanism is a doctrine of deception; man is not the answer. Secular humanists hate the Word of God, and if Christians lived like them, they would too. New age is deception. You can't hum into crystals and commune with God. Harmonizing with a glass of crystals will get you laryngitis, not the Lord of glory. New agers worship everything but God. New age is tolerant of every religion but Christianity, because Christianity has the Bible, and the Bible is not tolerant toward sin. And the new age is tolerant toward every sin. The sin of the new age is being intolerant of anyone based on a moral basis. Neo-paganism and flower-sniffing environmentalism-the worship of mother earth with all her earth spirits and dream catchers-is a demonic deception. Pagan momma earth and momma nature dupe the biblical illiterates and are in deception. Eastern philosophies where man is god are a deception.
About the Author :
I was drawn into the depths and heartbeat of this supernatural war. When God called me to this ministry, I had an LLC roofing company, but God closed that door. He wanted me to carry a cross-crucified and sanctified. This ministry has prepared me, broken me, and crushed me! It has brought me down to the depths of despair. The cross has kept me in the fetters of sweet slavery. It has crushed my pity and peacock pride. It has crushed my arrogance. It has kept me on my knees before the throne, desperate for Jesus. Crushed is the god of self on the throne of my soul. I started this ministry out of the fountain of obedience, not for glory. This ministry is a cross that I carry: it is heavy, it is weighty, and it crushes me for God's glory. Out of tragedy, He turned it into blessings; He took my old song and made it a symphony.Testimonies of what I have experienced, and testimonies I hope to experience: I stood before the Lord like Isaiah; I experienced rejection like Joseph; I went through a wilderness like Job; I've warned like Noah; I was given a thorn like Paul; I saw the fallen angels described in Jude 1:6; I saw demons as described in Ephesians 6; I experienced persecution like Peter; I have had a born-again experience like every apostle. Lastly, I hope to be raptured like Elijah and walk with God like Enoch, until I am not. This book took a lifetime to write-from a story, a testimony, a ministry, and sound biblical doctrine.Share this book with people you love, people in the deepest depths of darkness, people struggling with addictions, and anyone else in the gloomy pits and prisons-from an 8x10 room to the four corners of the earth! Let us unite, fight this war together, and be soul-winners! Don't just keep Jesus in the church house; get Him into their house! Don't keep Him in there; get Him out there! It's the last call to win the lost. God bless you all! In Jesus' name, amen! My candle burned out long before, but my legacy never will end."...behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee..."-Matthew 19:27 (KJV)
