The Key To Everything—Speaking Truth
“… ‘I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain.’” (Zech. 8:3)
Keeping in step with God requires a knowledge of times and seasons, and even now, God is releasing greater revelation as He mobilizes His army to take possession of the cultural mountains (or kingdoms) of this world. The battle is for cultural prominence, and you don’t ascend these mountains without a fight.(1)
It’s a time much like when Israel was directed to possess the land. And while there are certainly “giants” on these mountains that are greater and mightier than we are, God is also promising to not just fight with us to take them, but for us.(2)
One of the most significant areas for believers to understand and influence is the media. I feel the Lord has shown me that step one for anyone who wants to ascend this mountain is that you must speak truth. You need to stick to the whole truth, not rumors or innuendo.
Truth is big on God’s agenda. Jesus revealed Himself as the way, the truth and the life; He is called Faithful and True as He judges and makes war seated on a white horse. Scripture even reveals that as truth springs out of the earth, our land will yield its increase.(3)
Quite simply, speaking truth is the key to everything.
Step two is a deep revelation of the Lord’s grace—not the form of grace that allows compromise and conforms to political correctness, but a grace which stands firm for truth while conveying the Father’s heart of love, a love that is inclusive, not exclusive. It is a love that fears no one except the One who is to be feared—it’s truth spoken in love.(4)
Step three is to enter a new level of strength and purpose available to the body of Christ. Recognize that it is not about you. It is about a King upon His throne. All dominion and power and glory are His—a kingdom without end.(5)
A Light-bulb Moment

I remember the moment I realized the power that a media platform could provide.
My husband and I had successfully rallied believers in our community to remove Planned Parenthood from involvement with the sex education program in our local high school. Because my husband was on the school board and I had given key testimony, our local newspaper saw potential for a good story, and a reporter called me almost immediately to ask for an interview.
