Surround Yourself With Truth

 

 

Truth is a weapon, but it is also a defense against the lies of the enemy. Satan is the Father of lies, and he works in the realm of deception. Therefore, it's important that you, as Paul wrote, have "your waist girded with truth" (Eph. 6:14).

 

The enemy can't handle the truth. Hold fast to the truth when lies are hitting your mind. Tighten the belt of truth when it seems the enemy's plans are overtaking God's promises in your life. Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life, and standing on His truth when you've done all you can do will eventually cause the devil to flee.

Believe Jesus

 

 

 Command 38 – Believe in Jesus (Mark 16:16, Luke 9:35, John 12:36, 6:29, 20:20, 14:6)

 

Believing in Jesus is an action word. When Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” he is the truth you need to follow, he is the way that you’re meant to go. His way is the pedestrian crossing of life.

His ways, his commands, his directions are the way to go; his truth is the truth, his way is the way and his life is the life you should be living – his life is the way you should follow. “Any man who wants to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.” You need to follow Jesus, to believe in Jesus; you don’t get saved by just believing that Jesus was the son of God – you get saved by practicing what Jesus taught. It’s very important for you to realize, and I’ll say it very clearly here, to believe in Jesus is to obey Jesus. So, I encourage you to learn to obey him.
