<p><br></p><p><strong>PEOPLE WILL SPEAK TO YOU BY THEIR ACTIONS</strong></p><p>September 30, 2026 | 1040 Zulu</p><p>Glory be to God, hallelujah! God is faithful to His Word. And when we’re faithful to His Word, supernatural results take place.</p><p>People will tell you who they are by their <strong>behavior and their actions</strong>.</p><p><strong>TRUTH IS NOT THE SAME AS PERCEPTION</strong></p><p>We should be sticklers for words. What does the Bible actually say? What does a word actually mean? What does the context actually teach?</p><p>There is a difference between <strong>perception, opinion, and truth</strong>.</p><p>You can say, “This is my truth,” but that doesn’t make it truth. It may be your opinion, your feelings, or your perception.</p><p>The Word of God is the standard—not the little universe we’ve created in our own heads.</p><p>That’s why we have to study Scripture carefully.</p><p><strong>DON’T GET WEIRD</strong></p><p>We’re called to be in the world but not of the world.</p><p>“I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.”— <strong>John 17:15 NKJV</strong></p><p>Some Christians become so afraid of the world that they can’t function in it.</p><p>They can’t handle discomfort.</p><p>They can’t handle hearing profanity.</p><p>They can’t miss a meal without becoming miserable.</p><p>They can’t be around unbelievers without becoming spiritually overwhelmed.</p><p>That’s not spiritual maturity.</p><p>The goal isn’t to build a bubble around ourselves.</p><p><strong>The goal is to become strong enough in Christ that we can walk through the world without becoming part of it.</strong></p><p><strong>GROW UP IN THE WORD</strong></p><p>New believers need milk.</p><p>Peter says:</p><p>“As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.”— <strong>1 Peter 2:2 NKJV</strong></p><p>But babies are supposed to grow.</p><p>Hebrews says:</p><p>“Solid food belongs to those who are of full age.”— <strong>Hebrews 5:14 NKJV</strong></p><p>Eventually, we need to become skilled in the Word.</p><p>That’s why we don’t forsake assembling together:</p><p>“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.”— <strong>Hebrews 10:25 NKJV</strong></p><p>You may never shake the pastor’s hand. You may never have a private conversation with the speaker.</p><p>But when the Word is preached and the Holy Spirit is moving, <strong>you can still be fed.</strong></p><p><strong>LEARN TO RECOGNIZE
