True Witnesses Prov 14:25

A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. (prov 14:25)

A true witness is someone who is focused on witnessing to people for their spiritual deliverance. There are so many leaders in the christian church today who have shifted the focus to not being on spiritual deliverance, but natural deliverance. Deliverance from poverty, God bringing you out of your trials and hardships. All this is fine in its proper context, but Jesus died on the cross for us to have salvation, and not to expand our investment portfolio.

What are some are your thoughts on this scripture, and individuals who focus more on natural deliverance than on the spiritual deliverance that our souls desperately need???

  1. The true witness is one who has received mercy and grace of the Lord and knows the power of the Lord! Someone who has been delivered, and has tasted the goodness of God. Those who focus on the natural and carnal simply have not been delivered themselves!

    Yeah man a TRUE witness DELIVERS souls. One that is LED by the SPIRIT of GOD. That is anointed!! Plain and simple...Luke 4:18-21 "For you shall KNOW the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall make you free" as in John 8:32. Also TRUE witness walks in the LIGHT as CHRIST is in the LIGHT. Blind cant lead the blind they both will fall in the ditch...ooops! lol
    Naw, but we need to start going out by two's and start winning these souls!! Ecclesiastes 4:9-12...BE STRONG YALL...We need to pray for each other...

  4. A true witness is someone whose heart beat to please the Lord, with their life. This is an individual who has first denied themselves, taken up their cross, and is now following after Christ, Mark 8:34. Not just for the things Christ has done, but even more for who he is! A true witness doesnt lavish on the fancy things in life, they know that these things are all benefits and not necessities. A true witness wakes up in the morning asking the Lord, "What can I do for you today Lord?" At the end of the day a true witness lives and breathes this lifestyle, the last question on their mind is Lord how can you do this or that for me, but the question that's burning and yearning is "what can I do for you!"
