Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17)
One of the easiest ways that Satan uses to make Christians a prey to demonic influences is making Christians believe lies. In John 8:44, Lord Jesus describes him as: “….because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Satan is the father of lies, and that’s exactly the tool he uses.
As a Christian, you are born of God, therefore you are born of truth. There is no lie in you and thus you should never believe in the lies of this world, which come wrapped in the face of information, data and news or even thoughts, to scare you out of truth.
You received the Holy Spirit by receiving the truth of the Gospel of Christ. You received Christ when you believed God’s Word; He didn’t come into you because you ate or swallowed anything; it happened through words. You believed and accepted the words of the Gospel, and Christ took up His abode in your heart. Similarly, demons take up their abode in people when people accept and believe lies.
But, the good news is that you have His Word, and even right now as you read this article it’s His Word coming to you. Learn and live by the Word, then you’re able to take your stand against satanic influences and manipulations. You’re able to judge everything with the truth of God’s Word. Don’t accept lies. Stick only to the truth. But how can you identify truth?
Truth blesses and uplifts. Truth makes you grow, fills you with love, and makes you walk and talk like Christ! Truth promotes you and promotes those who are with you; it doesn’t bring confusion, and it carries no hate or bitterness with it. Truth is light. Truth is Jesus. Thus, when you believe in truth, it’s brings you closer to Master Jesus. Glory!!
Confession:
Precious Father, thank you for the gift of your Word. I yield to your Word, and the truth shines in my life. I’m lifted, promoted and filled with God’s love. There’s no bitterness or hate in me. I’m more closer to Master Jesus than ever before. Hallelujah!
