The Truth Makes You Free
The Truth Makes You Free
The Promises of God are a surety that will never fail, nor leave us or forsake us; we have this knowledge but yet we look pass His Promises due to our fleshly desires!
Yes; all of us, we want what we want, when we want it, how we want it, and it does not matter regardless. It is human nature, it is the flesh, we strive to enter in at the straight gate, but yet we have trouble with the flesh. . .
Look at the world we are in now; mankind doing whatever seems right in their own thinking; doesn’t this sound familiar? Genesis 6:5 (NKJV) 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
I have come to realize in this season we are in that we must sincerely focus solely on God’s Promises, His Word, in order for us to remain established and immovable. We cannot afford to look Pass His Promises any longer, we must keep our Trust In The Lord! Psalm 16:1 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
David realizes that Our Father covers with His Promises; therefore, I must put all of my trust in Him, surrendering all to Him, so that I will be able to withstand in these perilous times.
As I was heading to work the other day, The Holy Spirit instructed me to Stop Looking Pass The Promise! I was so focused on the task at hand to the point I started to think of all the things that could go wrong, so much, I lost sight of the Truth that I have counsel in this work, I have wisdom, therefore, even if something does go wrong I can fix it!
You see, when you are awaken to the fact that God’s Promises are True; you will be able to continue on with Joy unspeakable because you know that God Preserves you; I don’t just believe, I know! James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
Remember, we must not just believe, but we must know - Faith = The assent of the understanding of The Truth - Assent = Consent, agreement - John 8:31-32 (NKJV) 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
The reason some of us are not free is because we do not dwell in His Promises; The Word of God! Now, I am not talking about just reading His Word, but becoming His Word! Everything that has proceeded out of The Mouth of God is a Promise, it is Truth! Jesus is The Truth - How? Because John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
We will suppress the truth in order to continue in our own thinking, even when we know the Promises, because it does not align with our truths, we will restructure it to fit what we want it too, so that we can continue on in our own thinking! Romans 1:20-25 (NKJV) 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
The Creator Is Blessed for ever, why do I look Pass Him, so that I can remain in my own counsel?
When You Stay With The Promises You Bless God And He Will Preserve You And Your Joy Will Be Full!
When You Stay With The Promises You Bless God And He Will Preserve You And Your Joy Will Be Full!
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
My son Justin always says to us when we are traveling; why do you all not listen to the directions? We will go pass the road and instead of turning around, we keep going!
Our Father, Who began the good work, He is faithful to perform it! But when it seems as if it is not going the way we desire it to go, instead of us turning to God, we continue on!
But not after today; we know that God has given us counsel, The Holy Spirit has taught us to follow The Instructions Of The Lord, even in those seasons that seem to be darkened by our own thinking; as Paul was stating in Romans 1:21, but when we have set God before us always, not looking Pass Him, then I realize that because Jesus Christ lives, I won’t be moved!
Because I remain at the Promises, because I do not allow me to be moved, even my flesh will have to obey The Peace of God and rest in The Hope!
I now know that because Jesus Lives, I can face anything that rises up against me; even my inadequate thinking at times!
I stay Within The Promises, I do not look to the left nor to the right, regardless of the circumstance, I know that God has not brought me this far to leave me here, Psalm 16:10–11 (NKJV)10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
All I have to do is wait on the manifesting of Your Glory, Your Promises, Your Truths; God, I put all my Trust in You, now I will Praise You from Whom all blessings flow!
Because when I make the wrong turns, make the wrong decisions, continue to live in criticism of my own thinking; because I have turn to You My Daddy, I know you will show me the path, you will keep me going in New Directions, and your Shekinah Glory keeps my Joy Full and I will experience Your Riches and Pleasures forevermore!
Because I realize that in Your Presence, I do not have to look any further, I can remain there and be lifted above the principalities and powers that attempt to detract me from purpose!
Stop Looking Pass The Promise - Keep your eyes on The Prize Of The High Calling - Jesus The Christ provided The Blue Print for us to remain on Purpose! And because He did not look pass the promise, He is given you and me access to Our Father! Who Promise to be:
El-Roi “God who sees me” or “God of vision” - He sees your needs and knows your troubles, He Promises to watch over His Word ready to perform it!
Yahweh-Shammah “The Lord is there” - He promises to never leave you nor forsake you, Christ had to go away so that The Comforter, The Helper may come!
Stop Looking Pass The Promise! The Holy Spirit is with you and He will keep you, instruct you and comfort you!
