Real Truth…

Posted on by admin

John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW will set you free”

Often we see images in the press of the solid bars on prison cells or the sharp razor wire that incarcerates and separates people from freedom. We hear stories of brazen escapes by inmates and their subsequent recapture and return to prison. Freedom is something that we cherish and it is also something that God cherishes for his people.

This verse tells us that we each need to be set free. Many believers are unknowingly held captive every day of their lives. Their captivity is a cage formed by lies and deception caused by a lack of knowledge. The solution is simple: obtain the key that opens the prison cell. The key is simply to KNOW THE TRUTH from God’s Word.

It is important to understand that truth alone never brings freedom. It is the TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW that produces it. Jesus says we are able to know His truth and that is what sets us free. THE TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW SETS YOU FREE!

So, this week, join us as we continue in God’s Word together to KNOW TRUTH. Each day, set time aside to gain understanding from God’s Word. Let it disciple you into a new arena of freedom. Liberate yourself from the bondage of lies and deception and step up into a new-found freedom. The more you know the more you can grow so FLOURISH DAILY in His Word!

The Getting of Wisdom…

Ecclesiastes 2:26 “For to the person who pleases Him God gives WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and heaping up, that he may give to one who pleases God…” [AMP]

WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY should be a part of our lives. They are a signposts to recognize that we are pleasing God. As we obediently pursue Him, study His Word, pray and seek his face He says that He will give to us WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY. These are beautiful belongings to have in our life.

The book of Proverbs speaks about these three essentials:

Proverbs 4:7 WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom…

Proverbs 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increases strength.

Proverbs 15:23 A man hath JOY by the answer of his mouth…

WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY are not earned, bartered or traded by God. He gives each to individuals that please Him. As an obedient believer the first part of this verse speaks to us. The second part speaks to sinners [ones who do not please God] and their lot in life. The sinner has a much harder life. He will always be gathering, heaping up and struggling in the natural. Our promise here is that God gives all that is gathered and heaped up by sinners to one who pleases Him.

Our future can be guaranteed. We have WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY available to us plus what is being gathered and heaped up elsewhere is coming to us. It is going to find it’s way to us when we please God.
