HOW TRUTH MAKES YOU FREE
I am Truth, John 14:6 so for the believer in actuality it is a person, not the state of a matter as it for the unbeliever. If it is used as a state of a matter, it may not set you free and at times puts people in bondage. Knowing Me as savior does not guarantee freedom, except from sin. Knowing Me as healer will set you physically free. Knowing Me as your supplier will meet your financial needs. However knowing Me as Truth is a totally different knowing. In order to be set free you must first be in some type of bondage or the target of an attempt by some one to bring you into bondage. Now this is the difficult part, first you must exercise strict discipline to resist self defense. Refusing to respond to false accusations and lying rumors is extremely difficult. Learning to trust My love and fully depend on me to come to your aid and expose the lie is where faith grows.
Defending yourself leaves you operating on your own intelligence about what others are saying and thinking and doing. Trusting Me as Truth leaves the liar to Me along with the life. When you seek Me and turn your back on what is being said, I will bring it to nothing and expose it for what it is. "Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you , and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. [12] Rejoice, and get excited: for great is your reward in heaven: remember they did the same thing to the prophets which were before you born." Matthew 5:11-12
