Once I know the Truth, the devil is no longer an issue unless I give him authority by my words, thoughts, and/or actions.
Knowledge of Truth is the only sure foundation for faith.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
13 And because of Him (Jesus Christ), when you who are not Jews heard the revelation of Truth, you believed in the wonderful news of salvation. Now we have been stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit.
And,
18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling-that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in us, His Holy ones!
The Holy Spirit is far superior to anything that the adversary attempts to derail us from who we are in Christ. The Holy Spirit resides in us thus all Truth resides in us and is meant to lead us through all challenges we encounter. The Voice of Truth in us must be given free reign as we are confronted with the deceptions by the adversary and his vessels.
False teachers will attempt to subvert us from the True Gospel, and they only want us to yield to their narrative which ultimately results in slavery and/or submission of some kind.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 2:
5 to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the Truth of the Gospel might continue with you.
Men fabricate lies and FATHER speaks pure Truth. Lies are ultimately meant to kill, steal, and/or destroy but Truth promotes Life and peace. This is why Truth is the first requirement of putting on the whole armor of God.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 2:
13 This is why we continually thank God for your lives, because you received our message wholeheartedly. You embraced it not as the fabrication of men but as the Word of God. And the Word continues to be an energizing Force in you who believe.
The Word will energize you if you let It. We must guard our hearts with Truth and protect it from false teachers who twist, redefine, deemphasize, or omit various aspects of FATHER’S Divine Intent in The Word. Be not ignorant.
Paul warned us as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 6:
3 But if anyone spreads false teaching that does not agree with the healthy instruction of our Lord Jesus, teaching others that Holy awe of God is not important, then they prove they know nothing at all! It’s obvious they don’t value or hold dear the healing Words of our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 They are covered with the clouds of conceit. They are loaded with controversy, and they love to argue their opinions and split hairs. The fruit of their ministry is contention, competition, and evil suspicions.
5 They add misery to many lives by corrupting their minds and cheating them of the Truth. They equate the worship of God with making great sums of money.
Peter also emphasized this as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 2:
1 In the past there arose false prophets among God’s people, just as there will continue to be false teachers who will secretly infiltrate in your midst to divide you, bringing with them their destructive heresies. They will even deny the Master, who paid the price for them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Many will follow immoral lifestyles. Because of these corrupt false teachers, the way of Truth will be slandered.
3 They are only out for themselves, ready to exploit you for their own gain through their cunning arguments. Their condemnation has been a long time coming. But their destruction does not slumber or sit idly by, for it is sure to come.
Truth protects us from the cunning devices of the adversary. Since The Word contains The Truth, we must not be ignorant and allow ourselves to be deceived. This is the reason The Holy Spirit has me include appropriate Scriptures to insure we understand what Truth is, and what It isn’t! Truth will uncover lies every time.
