Everything taught and preached by Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ, comes from God The Father, the One True God who does not ever lie. So the word God speaks and the testimony Jesus gives of it must be truthful and lies are abhorrant to God and The Son of God and The Spirit of God. So exciting and astonishing is the teaching and word from God in truth that anything in nature is subject to command and to the authority of God such that if God stands by a command given to something in nature - trees, mountains, beasts even - He, God, will ensure by His supreme power over the natural world that the thing commanded in good faith and unwavering certainty and singlemindedness will come to pass. So a storm can be commanded to stop and if done with undoubting faith in God it will stop. It will stop in good prompt time too the way I have witnessed. An animal can be commanded and will obey if God's power is without doubting imvoked in the command. A battle can be won. A goal scored. Victory ensured. If there is no doubt and the faith is true. Be wary lest it be subject to temptation to vanity though as it is not overlooked if you take God's name in vain. But when it is for the glory of God or salvation of the situation rightly in His name in good faith even the dead can rise.
How very strange that it is not usual for humans to persistently obey or submit to the authority of God and even justice itself and right behaviour is distant and alien to many humans. Faith is needed to overcome this. It overcomes the 'world'. It overcomes humans driven by desire and not justice and right behaviour and the authority of God. The judgment will be against those who persistently forsake what is right and includes a lake of fire in the future new order but in this life there is the promise of being made righteous if we adhere to Christ's teachings. One major teaching is to have such faith in God that you or I commamd nature and by the power of God nature obeys. It is a sign of the greater order of things like this to come when Christ returns. It is a fortaste.
The truth we need to adhere to is not so much out there but is bound up in testimonies of faithful and true witnesses and especially found as the word that God gives on things which He sends people to testify concerning it. Jesus is most renowned as one such faithful and true witness. The people we are when we are part of the 'world' is characterised more by lies and illfeelings however but Christ promises transformation to us if we hold to what He has said and continues to say and teach. Then we too can become truthful and this as we know the truth that sets us free.
