The Truth Will Set You Free!

I'm going to change it up a little bit.  I still am going to finish the Bible Study, because I feel like commitment is a powerful thing, but I am going to go about it in a different way.  I'm going to visit with you about it, you can read it on your own by clicking on the Scripture.
 
Read the Passage Here:  John 8: 31-47

This passage makes me think a lot of our world today and how to discern what spirit is speaking to us.  This takes some time to learn, but as you get in the word and you let the word get in you, you begin to "know" Jesus".  Have you ever been with someone so long that you just know their handwriting.  You don't even have to see them write the words, you just know it's them?  Reading the word of God, the Holy Bible, is the same way, you begin to recognize what God says and what he wouldn't say.

Remember Satan tried to tempt Jesus with scripture.  He quoted it out of context because he knew that Jesus lived by God's word.  Jesus clearly recognized that Satan was "twisting the truth" and he called him out on it.  You will be able to do the same, if you are not able to already.

One time I had a girlfriend call me up and tell me that she believed that God wanted her to leave her husband for another man because the other man needed her, so he could be "saved" and come to know Christ.  Clearly to me, Satan was drawing her out of God's will, but he had "persuaded" her that it was the "right thing to do."  All she would have needed was a little more time in the word to figure out she was being lied to.  Unfortunately, she did leave her husband for this man, and a short while later both the relationships crashed leaving her feeling empty inside and doubting "God's Purpose" in her life.  The problem was; she wasn't following "God's Purpose" she was following "Satan's".

As you see in this section, even religious leaders can sway you away from God's word and to give credit to themselves or the church.  I'm certain it doesn't happen on purpose, it's a subtle gradual change, provoked by Satan's lies, and sometimes the leaders don't realize what is happening because they are "working for God" and sometimes being in their position, they feel it's them that has responsibility.  Pray for your leaders, they are vulnerable, and finding a Pastor that is steadfast is a gem!  They are out there, you can discern it just as you can discern God's word, but to do so you must be in God's word yourself!  

Keep up with the Bible Study, especially if you don't read on your own.  As my Aunt pointed out, you need daily bread (God's word) to survive each day!

Thank you so much Angela for your dedication and your heart for God and to lead others to do the same ..I need that so much in my life right now. I couldn't get the link to click but your message is right on as usual. I have made some of the same crazy mistakes thinking it was God's will for me then being heartbroken and crushed when to didn't go as planned. It's like this, .....but God I thought I was doing your will. He said No your doing your will in my nsme. I asked, what's the difference, He said, RESULTS....LOL... today I specifically pray God, I am your sheep, I hear YOUR voice and a stranger I will not follow. Give me ears to hear and eyes to see what the Spirit of GOD is saying to me. Create in me a clean heart and renew a RIGHT Spirit within me. And he does. Today I pray I will not be distracted, deceived or destroyed by the enemy ever again. May God bless you in a special way today, smiling.....
