GOD'S WORD IS TRUTH 1
"AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE .”
John 8:32 (NKJV)
• The basis of the devil's work is lying. He would not want his victims to see the light and know the truth. Light and truth reveal the basis of the devil's and demons' activities and works.
- Thus, the fight is always against the knowing of the truth. When the understanding of a person is opened, the devil begins to lose the ground he had gained in his or her life.
- Many believers want to fight the devil through the warfare prayers without having the light, which is the knowledge of the truth.
- The human's mind is the stronghold of the devil, where he usually had gained some ground through lies, deceptions, false doctrines, and informations: "WHOSE MINDS THE god OF THIS AGE HAS BLINDED, WHO DO NOT BELIEVE, LEST THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD, SHOULD SHINE ON THEM" (2 Corinthians 4:4 NKJV).
- And for him, the devil, to be dislodged, you had to receive the light, enlightment in your mind, because through It, darkness is dispelled (Ephesians 1:17,18).
• Whoever is said to be under a bondage; It is in the person's mind. And a demon cannot be driven out without the light that comes via the knowledge of the truth (John 8:32).
- Thus, the devil and his cohorts fight the Truth. They would not want an average believer or whoever in their bondages to receive the light and know the truth:
"YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH (Psalm 119:105 NKJV). - Prayers can only be effective and produce maximum results through the penetration of the light, enlightment of the mind, by the knowledge of the Truth: "THE ENTRANCE OF YOUR WORDS GIVES LIGHT; IT GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO THE SIMPLE" (Psalm 119:130 NKJV).
- The mind of humans is the main target of the devil because If someone under his bondage would be delivered at all, It would be from the mind.
- If the devil or the demons would be unseated in a person's or a believer's life, It would be from his or her mind.
- When the light is received through the knowledge of the truth in the Word of God, for the Word of God is the truth, the devil would begin to lose his ground in the life of the person.
• People struggle in casting out demons when the light has not penetrated the mind of the victim, the person in the bondage.
- Thoughts, imaginations, and words that are not obedient to the knowledge of God are cast down through the consistent teaching of the truth—the teaching of the undiluted Word of God (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
- Because the stronghold in the mind of an average believer or any human being had been built over a period of time, It could be months or years, thus, It takes a consistent teaching of the Word of God to knock down the stronghold built through lies, deceptions and falsehoods or false doctrines which the mind of the person had been exposed to over the years (2 Corinthians 10:4,5).
- The warfare is literally in the mind. Laying on of hands and being fallen under the Anointing would not completely solve the problems of the people, or whoever in the devil's deceptive cage, or cause the devil to completely lose his hold.
- It takes a consistent teaching, that is, consistent hearing of the Word of God, for the person who happens to be a victim of the devil's deceptions; to be totally free from every lie and deception which he or she had been exposed to and imbibed over a period of time.
• Freedom comes through the knowledge of the truth which is the knowledge of the Word of God.
- The Word of God which is the truth santifies or sets apart and keeps or allays the devil. Jesus Christ' prayers for the believers when He was ending His earthly Ministry is this: "SANCTIFY THEM [the Disciples] BY YOUR TRUTH. YOUR WORD IS TRUTH" (John 17:17 NKJV).
"SANCTIFY THEM [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] BY THE TRUTH; YOUR WORD IS TRUTH."
John 17:17 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
- Whatever is not of God in your body that is working against your health and wellness is cursed and completely uprooted in Jesus' mighty name.
- The hold is broken totally and It will never be formed again in Jesus' mighty name.
Peace!
