Do You Know Someone Who Lies?

Do You Know Someone Who Lies?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who tell the truth. In Jesus’s name, amen.

A person who testifies in a court of law is obligated to tell the truth. Knowingly lying under oath is a very serious offense called “perjury.”

Proverbs 19:9 (ESV) is about a false witness.

“A false witness will not go unpunished,
and he who breathes out lies will perish.”

For those caught in the act of giving false testimony, there can be stiff penalties.

In God’s economy, the one who breathes out lies will perish.

Yet, God can provide a way when there seems no way.

Change evil ways. Repent of lying. Make amends.

Confronted by False Witnesses?

Confronted by False Witnesses?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are confronted by false witnesses. In Jesus’ name.

Stephen was one of the people selected to help make sure distributions to Hellenists widows were handled fairly. It says in Acts 6:5 (ESV) that Stephen was “a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.”

God blessed him, and Luke writing in Acts 6:8-9 reports,

“And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen.”

This escalated. False witnesses testified to the council that Stephen was against Moses and God.

In his defense, Stephen began retracing the history of Abraham, to Joseph in Egypt, to Moses, and the prophets. Stephen then condemned the group for resisting the Holy Spirit, killing Jesus, and not keeping the law. They were so enraged, they ultimately stoned Stephen to death.

Have you been confronted by false witnesses? The above prayer is so you will have the wisdom to respond appropriately. God bless you.
