The Truth Makes Us Free

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32

I’m sure you can relate to the following experience/lesson I had the other day…

I was doing some work the other day when I had the thought of being a little weary, spiritually.  At first, I didn’t recognize the source of that idea, and thought, “Well, You’re probably right, Jesus.  I guess I could be a little spiritually weary.”  I began feeling (sure sign that I need to test the spirit behind the thought) somewhat tired in my spirit and felt I could use a break from spiritual battles.

That’s when it dawned on me, “Wait a minute.  I see what’s going on here.”  The devil was behind the spiritually weary thought and was trying to get me to buy into his lie.  I said, “Ah, I see you, satan.  I’m not really weary.  You’re just trying to get me to believe your lie.”  Instantly, the weary thoughts vanished and I felt really encouraged in the Lord.  Yay, God.

9 And let us not be weary in well doing:  for (because) in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9

The battles never end…

Neither do the victories.

Now thanks be unto God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ and who maketh manifest through us the savor of His knowledge in every place (Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.  NLT).
2 Corinthians 2:14

God bless,

Mark
