The Truth Shall Make You Free

Scripture:

“If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” ~ John 8:31b-32

Have you ever been to a circus and seen an elephant chained to a stake in the ground? Why doesn’t he break free? Because as a young elephant he was tied to a tree. And try as he might, he couldn’t break free. Now the thought that he cannot break free is ingrained.

How true that is of you and me who have ingrained thought patterns in our lives. We say, “I am chained to this habit and I can’t break free.” Or we say, “I’m not good enough.” All kinds of lies keep us in bondage, but real truth is what God says, not what we think.

Are there any strongholds in your life that keep you chained to the past? Write down these verses and memorize them.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ~ “For though we live in the body (flesh), we do not wage war in an unspiritual way (fleshly way), since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly (fleshly), but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to obey Christ.”

Galatians 5:1 ~ “Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

Now break free from the lies of the past as you tell yourself the truth!
