Truth Dispels the Lie

March 15, 2003
By Rick L King

Recently the Holy Spirit talked to me about our dog Babe and how we are so similar. I looked out the window and watched when he was on his chain. He did everything he knew to break the chain or get loose. He wanted to be in the house. He could see the house and his owner, yet that chain kept him from getting there. When we let him off of the chain he ran and jumped, as he was so happy to be free.

We are so much like that. We sometimes can see where we want to be, yet to figure out how to get off the chain that binds and keeps us from getting there, we seem to have no clue. We do everything that we know to do, yet we stay bound. When Jesus comes on the scene and turns us loose, we jump and leap and get excited just as babe does. Sometimes we may be asleep thinking we are chained and awake not knowing that we are actually free. We stay bound by the lie that we carry in our mind. Sometimes we need to just take that step of faith and then all the sudden we realize that we are free and not bound. We are told that when we know the truth, that the truth will set us free. Notice that it is not the problem that has us in bondage. It is the lie that we have believed that actually binds us. This is why truth sets us free. The problem goes once we see truth. The lie is the bondage; the outward is just the fruit of the lie. Remember the scripture as a man thinketh so is he? As the truth comes in through the Holy Spirit, then the lie we believed no longer has power.

All the outward things that we desire to see changed will change when we see them through truth. The devil is a liar. We have believed so many lies and are walking in them and have no idea that we are doing it. We all walk in the light of truth that we have. May God help us by giving to us all wisdom and revelation knowledge through His Holy Spirit to see the lies we have bought from the devil unknowingly.

If you are bound in any way, then seek truth. Seek revelation as to all the things that are the root of the problem. When the Holy Spirit pulls out the roots, then there will be no more bad fruit. The devil seems to always insist that we focus on the problem to change it. That just puts it in our own strength to deliver our self. The Holy Spirit once told me this; “Circumstances are not the problem, as we change then circumstances will automatically change. Circumstances are only there because of the way that we view them”. When we see the truth, we see circumstances through God’s eyes, and find that they are no problem at all. When we walk in spirit and truth, the problems are no longer there. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the deliverer. The closer we get to Jesus the more these lies will be revealed. As we look to Jesus, the truth, instead of the problem, then our victory will be assured. It will come in God’s time and way, so we must just rest and trust Jesus to do what He is faithful to do.
