We Know The Truth

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

Over the last several sections we have discussed some pretty awesome Truth’s and I know that it can be an intimidating thing to look at a verse and see that we can ask for anything that we want or read that we should be prosperous in everything that we do. Everything: spiritually, soulfully, and physically, prosperous in everything, this is the Truth of the power of God within us. When was the last time you heard it preached that we could know all of the Truth that Jesus knows? I know that many in religion try to qualify these Truth’s, or even shy away from them out of fear. But we have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and we have a sound mind, the mind of Christ, 2 Timothy 1:7! Think about it, only if a person is truly saved will God perform His Truths through them, so why shy away from them? If a person is saved, great, they are new creatures in Christ and they will ask and desire godly things. If they are not, they won't, and it does not matter if they desire or ask for evil, because what they ask for and desire, will not be heard by God! "Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doth His will, him He heareth." John 9:31

The reason there is no fear in the incredible power described in these verses we have been studying is because of the Truth mentioned by Jesus in John 16: “the Holy Ghost will guide us in all Truth!” God has given all of Himself to strengthen and teach those of us who have truly accepted Jesus as Lord and who walk in His salvation. Through Christ God is now able to give us the desires of our hearts! Now that not only means that we will get something that we have asked for, but it means that God put the desire in our hearts in the first place, so that we would ask for it. We can ask, because we have been made perfect in our oneness with God. Jesus is now within us, we are now in Jesus, and Jesus is in God, and through Jesus we are all made perfect in one, so that the world may believe and be saved! Paul describes being born again like this, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20

We have said yes to Jesus, so we can ask, desire, and believe for what God wills this day. We have been born of God, we have been chosen by Him, and He has given us a new heart and a new spirit that is completely and perfectly equipped to ask for His will! Not only do we now have a new heart and spirit, we now have God within us, insuring that we are saved to the uttermost, teaching us all Truth and allowing us to be set free by the knowledge and wisdom that He is now teaching us. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Truth that God is teaching us will remain! God has given us everything needed, even Authoring and Finishing our faith to believe that He is able and willing to do what He has spoken! God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 Through the strength of the Anointing of God, which is Christ, we are able to allow God to be Who He is within us, and we are able to allow these Truths to transform us into the children that Jesus went to the Cross-for us to be!
