Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Key Number One: Proper Data Processing
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Eph. 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, (the lie) speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
There are two primary sources from which we receive data or information. One is Truth and the other is “the lie”. The TRUTH is the Word and the Lie is the World. Operating in TRUTH results in LIFE. Operating in “the lie” results in DEATH. Paul writes in Romans chapter 8 verse 6…
“To be carnally (world) minded is death but to be spiritually (Word) minded is life (zoe) and peace” (security, safety and prosperity).
What we do with what we know determines whether we live or whether we die.
How we “process” the information that enters our mind (computer) determines what happens to us. We all have a Processor to process incoming data. It is our mind. The mind is the data processor. Just like a computer. How we process the data and what we do with the data that comes into our mind determines whether we live in victory or go down in defeat. It is necessary that we upgrade (renew) our processor. The Bible calls this “renewing the mind.” There are two operating systems in effect today. One is the Word and the other is the World. One is the Truth and the other is the Lie.
The ONLY advantage satan ever has over a believer is the believer’s ignorance of and unbelief of the Word. Remember: Whatever may be wrong with you, your family, your finances, your marriage, your business, your life, can be remedied… permanently fixed and made complete through your knowledge of the Truth and your obedience to the Truth.
TRUTH is absolute. Truth is the Standard. Truth is Changeless. Truth is what and Who Jesus is. Truth is the Way. Truth is Life. Truth is our access to the Father. And Jesus is the Truth.
Jesus said to Know the Truth is to be Free. Listen:
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
(1) Jesus is speaking to those “Who believed on Him…”
(2) Jesus puts forth the following condition. “IF.” It is up to us.
(3) Jesus speaks of Abiding. “Continuing” in His Word.
(4) Jesus indicates that to continue to abide in His Word will result in becoming a “Disciple indeed.” A True Disciple. A “learner” of Jesus. We will Learn of Him and about Him. We will become intimately acquainted with Him. We will Know Him.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Key Number Two: Choosing the Truth and Refusing the Lie
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE (Jesus: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life…”) that both thou and thy seed may LIVE….” Deut 30:19
Have you wondered why things are the way they are in your life?
Have you wondered why some seem to be blessed abundantly and others constantly seem to have a struggle in life?
Have you questioned God about your situation?
Did you get discouraged when you seem to get no answer from heaven?
Do you understand that God is not responsible for your condition?
Do you know that God is really for you and not against you?
Are you ready to believe that He has provisions for you that are yet untapped?
Do you know that God has an answer for you TODAY?
If you are disturbed and troubled about your present situation or the situation of your family, God has an answer for you. It is not as hopeless as you think and YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I am continually amazed at how fickle and shallow and unstable some Christians can be. And are. Knowing the Truth, they ignore it. Knowing the Truth, they choose something less. Knowing the Truth, they refuse to obey it. Knowing the Truth, they simply do not DO IT.
In their Mind. They had rather stuff a bunch of trash in their brains than to fill it with the Word of God… with the Truth. Like hogs, they prefer slop over sirloin steaks. The stink is better than the perfume of God’s sweet presence. They are prefer looking for juicy tidbits that temporarily gratify the flesh and the unregenerated emotions over seeking life-giving, life-sustaining, sin-overcoming Power in the Word of God.
In their Mouth. “Say what?” What are you saying? What are you continually speaking? What kind of words come out of your mouth? What and which power is being released by your tongue? Is it set on Fire of God or is it set on fire of hell? Does it build up? Encourage? Edify? Speak good regarding others? Does it say the Truth? Or does it speak doubt, unbelief, sadness, sickness, defeat, hopelessness? What is in your Mouth? Life (truth) or Death (the lie)?
In their Body. What shape is your flesh in? (And I do not mean size, weight or physical proportion.) I mean is your flesh under your control? Is it out of your control? Is it crucified? Is it dead to the world? To sin? Did you ever read that passage in the Bible that commands us to “come out from among them and be separate?”
2Cor. 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch (do not fasten yourself to) not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Could it be that touching the unclean thing has separated you from the Truth? Maybe mixing and mingling with the unclean has made you the Prisoner of the Lie. Could it be the Hog-Pen syndrome? Leaving the pure, the clean, the honest, the upright, the safe and the secure for the slop, the mud, the mess, the grime of the unclean? Is this you? Do you miss Father? Do you miss Father’s house? Do you miss Father’s blessing and approval? Do you miss Father’s provision?
Sin, sickness, poverty, want, unhappiness, defeat, failure, divorce, perversion, addiction, worry, fear, anxiety are all foreign elements in the Will of God. They are the works of and the products of the Lie and must be eliminated before God’s Plan can be fully realized. They are not and cannot be a part of the will of God for His Creation. They are the works of the devil and the fruit of the Lie and are the enemies of God and all creation. As long as Christians treat these curses as friends and blessings in disguise and as the “will of God” they will be failing God and cooperating with the devil and the Lie. And this cooperation or partnership with the devil will result in death and destruction.
This is “falling short of the glory of God.”
Rom. 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short (hustereo: fail to become a partaker; to suffer want, to lack, to fail, to fall short of the end…) of the glory of God;
Anytime we are deceived into believing the Lie or any part of it, we automatically come short of the Glory of God. The Glory of God is the Full and Complete Manifestation of the Truth. When we fail to obey any part of the Truth, we come short of the Glory of God. When we come short of the Glory of God we fall into the consequences of the Lie. The power of the Lie is activated and the result is always death and defeat.
Refusing or Resisting the Truth forms a Partnership with the Lie. Partnership with the Lie is being in agreement with the devil. Failure to resist the lie places one in partnership with the lie. Silence in the face of the lie puts one in partnership with the lie. Partnership with the Lie produces separation from the Glory of God. The Glory of God and the Lie are incompatible. You cannot have a little of both… it is an Either / Or situation. You are either in partnership with the Lie or in partnership with the Truth. Jesus said if we are not with Him we are against Him. If we do not gather with Him, we are guilty of scattering abroad.
Matt. 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Refusing or Resisting the Lie forms a Partnership with the Truth. Partnership with the Truth is being in Agreement with God. Being in Agreement with God keeps you in the Power of His Glory. Agreement with God… obeying the Truth results in abundant Life. This is where we must live in this hour. Courageous. Brave. Full of Faith. Fulfilled. Anointed with God’s Power. Overcoming the world. Enjoying Victory over the flesh. Moving in peace, rest, joy, happiness, satisfaction, prospering in all things, living in continual health, totally delivered from every demonic force and temptation.
The Truth can and will Change things. It will change what you have not been able to change and do what you have not been able to do.
It will Bring God into your life.
It will bring God’s Power into your life.
It will bring victory into your life.
It will bring success into your life.
It will produce the Kingdom of God in you and around you.
It will release the Will of God into the earth.
If you Know the Truth… If you Do the Truth. If you are in Partnership with the Truth.
There is a strong possibility that many Believers are unknowingly and unwillingly giving glory to the devil by cooperating with the Lie. Anytime we fail to obey the Truth we give glory to the devil. Anytime we deviate from the Word of God, we give glory to the devil. Anytime we compromise our total confidence in and trust in and reliance upon the Word of God, we give glory to the devil. Anytime we accept anything less than what the Word of God promises, we give glory to the devil.
(1) Our Unbelief gives glory to the devil. Any acceptance of a “half truth” or partial truth puts us in agreement with the devil. Agreeing with the doctrines of men and the unscriptural traditions of religion is unbelief. “Going along with” any teaching or doctrine that is not in Full and Total Agreement with the Word of God is unbelief. Just because it sounds good, feels good, produces comfort, eases the mind does not necessarily mean that it is the Truth. When we fall into doubt, when we question God or God’s Word, when we give in to reason, when we listen to our emotions instead of God… this is unbelief. This negates the Truth and prevents the Mighty Works of God from happening in us and to us. And it glorifies the devil.
(2) Our Fear gives glory to the devil. Fear of getting sick. Fear of getting some incurable disease. Fear of having a heart attack. Fear of cancer, stroke, Parkinson’s. Fear of a nervous breakdown. Fear of dying. Fear of accidents. Fear of losing our job. Fear of bankruptcy. Fear of going broke. Fear of losing a husband or a wife or a son or a daughter. Fear of being disgraced. Fear of losing our reputation. Fear of losing our friends. Fear of being rendered helpless or becoming handicapped. Fear of the devil or demons. Fear of people, crowds, darkness, heights, flying, driving, biking, walking, weather, hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, floods, earthquakes, lightning, water… any and all fear gives glory to the devil.
(3) Yielding to Temptation gives glory to the devil. Being tempted is not sin, but giving in to temptation is. And this gives glory to the devil. You can say no. You can resist. You can put your foot down. You can quit. You can stop. You can stay clean. You can be delivered. The Truth declares that sin has no control over you and satan has no dominion over you.
(4) Being satisfied to stay sick gives glory to the devil. The Word plainly teaches that no child of God has to be sick or stay sick. It is the unquestionable right of every believer to have perfect health and freedom from the ungodly works of the devil.
The responsibility of getting healed and remaining healed is up to the individual believer. If God has provided Healing through the Blood of Jesus, then it is the right and the duty of every believer to get and keep the benefits for which He suffered and died. To do anything less is to give glory to the devil.
(5) Staying where you are when God calls you to a Higher Place gives glory to the devil.
Being content to drift.
Being satisfied to stay lost or backslidden or disobedient gives glory to the devil.
Living by the lie gives glory to the devil.
Resisting the Truth gives glory to the devil.
Knowing to do good and refusing to do it gives glory to the devil.
Living in unforgiveness and resentment and hatred gives glory to the devil.
Allowing your testimony to be corrupted gives glory to the devil. Neglecting to stand for what is right gives glory to the devil. Refusing to repair relationships and mend hurt and hard feelings gives glory to the devil.
Living a lie in your marriage and breaking the solemn vows made before God and man gives glory to the devil.
Remaining where you are today without doing what God tells you to do gives glory to the devil.
