Know the truth

Know the truth.

“They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: …”
Psalm 82:5

When you lack knowledge, you will lack understanding, and when you lack understanding, you will walk in darkness, and when you walk in darkness you are in satan's domain. Satan is the prince of darkness; he rules over darkness. So, because they do not know, and they do not understand, they continue to suffer demonic oppression.

Knowledge is the only key of escape from bondage. In John 8:32 Jesus said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The Word of God is truth and truth is the anchor of freedom. John 17:17 says, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” So, if you hate the knowledge of God's Word and the study of the Bible, it means that you love bondage.

You are only as free as you know. So long as you lack knowledge you are bound. This is because the strength of the oppressor is the ignorance of the oppressed. The devil keeps people in captivity through their ignorance of the truth. Therefore the moment you acknowledge the truth, you are delivered from the snare of the devil.

2 Timothy 2:25-26 say, “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”


Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you grant unto me a deeper passion for your Word. I also ask that you grant me wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the deep and intimate knowledge of you and in spiritual verities, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read: Ephesians 1:13, John 14:16-17, 2 Timothy 2:15.
