Elisha Vision – Commentary

BRAINWASHED is an interesting term. It is an oxymoron. It means the opposite of how it sounds. In reality, if you are brainwashed, you are brain-dirtied, not washed. You have been fed so many lies that you believe the lies and don’t recognize truth anymore. Propaganda is the tool of the brainwashers/dirtiers. Politicians use it all the time. Media formerly existed to hold leaders to account for lies and propaganda. But what happens if the media is biased to the point of blurring the truth in favor of a preferred agenda or narrative? What is the antidote? Connect to the source of absolute truth through faith in God and the Messiah Jesus/Yeshua.

Jesus gave us His antidote as He taught about the vine that bears much fruit. His word makes us clean. Examine every report by comparing it to the words of Jesus.

“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.” John 15:3

Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church expands on the same theme.

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,” Ephesians 5:25-26

Hearing the voice of God through Jesus results in a true brain “washing.” Truth is the antidote to lies. Jesus said His sheep would hear His voice and not follow any other voice.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  John 14:6

Let us learn to listen and take the antidote whenever we are confused by conflicting reports. Absolute truth does exist. It is a Person! Let Him wash you with His eternal words of life.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the fulfillment of God’s purpose.
