“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32 NKJV)
We must resist the temptation to deny what we see, experience and possess.
We must resist the urge to see things that are not truly there.
We must subdue our inclination to make accusations based on assumptions, fears and mental constructions.
We must discipline ourselves to not process information through the unreliable lens of our realities, tragedies and agonies.
If we do not see things for what they truly are, then we cannot discern good from evil, nor opportunity from ambush.
Truth, in principle and person, is the only way to see properly and be freed from our inner, and outer, chains, stains and pains. God is Truth. When we look at the complexities and layers of our issues, and consider the spiritual opponents we wrestle with, there is no denying that our predicament is bigger than our own strength. We need God’s complete plan and help.
Our families need help, our nations need help, our world needs help. It is time to expose the blindfolds and strongholds that have been robbing us of our true identity, authority and destiny. It is time to studiously pursue Truth, Peace, and abundant Life, Himself. It is time to face our own realities, repent of our wrongs and turn fully in surrender to God.
