Truth frees us

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Jn. 8 ...  31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.


At the time we were born again, we were given the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth, to live in us and teach us and guide us.

The devil is a liar and the father of lies and he continually works to try to get us to believe various lies.

Jn. 8:44 ... He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, 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.

The devil will bring a thought to our mind which is a lie.  The Holy Spirit will bring a thought which is truth.  We must choose truth.  This sounds simple but the problem is most of us have a pattern of living in partial lies.  We don't want to hurt another person's feelings so we either water down the truth or fail to speak truth and live in a type of hypocrisy, allowing that person to think we feel a certain way which we do not fee or allowing that person to think we go along with that which they have said which we do not really believe.  This is hypocrisy.  (a lie)  This opens doors for devils to move into our lives.

We have to determine to live in truth and to speak truth and to quit hypocrisy (play acting).

Truth does set us free when we work to live in truth.

Truth is the first listed part of the whole armor of God.  Eph. 6 ... We are told to surround our loins with truth.  We have to do this daily.  And we have to fight to hold onto the truth when the lies come.  It is a labor to live in truth ... abide in truth.
