STAND UP FOR THE TRUTH
FROM “DON’T LIMIT GOD by Andrew Wommack
I Kings 17:1 “And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
Most people won’t stand up and speak for morality when people talk about shacking up with each other and acting like dogs and alley cats. We should stand up and say, “Did you know that’s destructive? You need to make a commitment. Why would you want to live with someone who’s not even committed to you?”
We will limit what God can do through us if we know something is true but won’t stand up for the truth because we are afraid of what people will say. There is zero excuse for this in America. In foreign countries, many have given their lives standing up for the truth. That’s true persecution! But in our country, we feel persecuted if people just look at us in a certain way. When we have a fear of man and let criticism and rejection keep us from doing what God called us to do, we limit God. (pages 76-77)
