Let’s Talk About Truth
Psalm 91:4b “His truth shall be your shield and buckler”
So what is His Truth? It is the infallible Word of God. It has been ordained, set in place. It is absolute and without question, and it remains the Truth no matter what. Nothing can change the Truth! No lie of the devil, no circumstances, no matter what we feel or what takes place can change the Truth. His Truth is established once and for all and it is our shield of protection, it is our security against the enemy, against negative thoughts and emotions. It protects us when we are at battle in our minds and there is no greater shield of protection than God’s word. John 8:32 says ‘And you shall know the Truth and Truth shall set you free.
But do we know the Truth, have we experienced it in our lives? Do we walk in it? Do we live by it? Do we stand firm in it? Do we believe it? His Truth is: The Word of God. The promises of God, the faith fullness of God, the Love of God. His Truth brings us life. His Truth opens our eyes. It brings revelation. It brings hope and encouragement. It brings forgiveness and causes us to forgive. It satisfies our longing souls. Can we believe what God says about us or do we believe the lies the enemy tells us? A lie is just as effective as the Truth if you allow yourself to believe it. But we know better don’t we! Jesus said in John 17:13, “However when He the spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth.” We have the Holy Spirit living inside us and as born again spirit filled Christians we walk in the Spirit daily and we stand firm in our knowledge of the Truth. We can’t deny it because we have all experienced God’s Truth in our lives in many different ways. We don’t live in the past either because His Truth has set us free into a future full of hope and promise. The Truth is, the more we allow the Spirit of God to come alive in us and let him activate His power in us the more we will grow, transforming our hearts and minds bringing a freedom we have never known before, allowing us to live a life full of victory and not defeat. Take hold of and embrace His Truth today.
