Speaker 1: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall

2

Speaker 1: make you free. John eight thirty two. Dear Heavenly Father,

Speaker 1: we seek the truth that brings us freedom. Help us

Speaker 1: to discern what is holding us back and bring guidance

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: in how to let go. Show us where our chains lie,

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: and give us the courage to break them, no matter

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: how heavy they may be. Strengthen us to follow the

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: path that leads to liberation, even when it is difficult

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: or unfamiliar. We know that your word speaks freedom and

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: truth into our lives, so we ask for your help

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: in living it out. Lead us in the ways of

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: justice and mercy so that all may find joy and

14
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: release from bondage. Grant us the power to be a

15

28

Speaker 2: the throne of the Lord, and prepare your mind to

29
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: be filled with his word. We're going to be meditating

30
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: on John chapter eight, verse thirty two from the King

31
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: James version. And you shall know the truth, and the

32
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: truth shall make you free. You take a moment to

33
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: let your worship rise up to God. I give you

34
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: glory and honor to you alone, Jesus, for you are

35
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: the Way, the truth, and the life. You pour out

36
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: your mercy and your grace over me, and you set

37
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: me free. Holy Spirit. I worship you, for your power

38
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: breaks every chain and destroys every stronghold in my life.

39
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: I bless your name, God, for there's none like you.

40
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: Your truth, your righteousness, your glory shall be forevermore Jesus's truth.

41
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: Truth is defined as a reality. Actuality or partiality is

42
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: a fact this day and age. There are many affirmations

43
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 2: from many sources, and with access to so much information,

44
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: it's sometimes hard to distinguish truth from fiction. Now more

45
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: than ever, knowing real truth is imperative to survival and

46
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: well being. The reason why truth is liberating is because

47
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: it's reality. Truth doesn't cater to our emotions, doesn't bow

48
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: down to our whims or desires. Opinions are not truth.

49
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: Suggestions are not truth. Perspectives are not truth. Truth is

50
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: not double minded. It's factual, and it stands on its own.

51
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: It's not circumstantial, nor is it dependent on popularity. Truth.

52
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: Jesus is real. Fact. His grace is enough. The reality

53
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: is that only Jesus gives grace, and only his grace

54
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: gives freedom, true freedom, freedom that enables you to let

55
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: go of all other hindrance. Hope you're taking a moment

56
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: with me to draw near to truth, to draw near

57
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: to Jesus. Confess your sins to the Lord. Pray and

58
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: ask him to fruit. Pray and ask him for forgiveness

59
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: and for his help. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal

60
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: truth to you. Hope you're taking a moment with me

61
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: to consider all the times you've heard, all the time

62
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: God has heard your prayers and thank him for it.

63
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: Thank the Lord for the opportunity to reach out to

64
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: him to present your restrictions or your limitations before him.

65
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: Thank Jesus for his promise of freedom and fulfilling it.

66
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: Thank God for his deliverance and his providence over your life,

67
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: and thank Him for the blessed assurance that He is

68
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: and will always be your deliverer. Thank the Holy Spirit

69
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: for helping you to overcome all obstacles in your way.

70
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: Thank him for interceding for you, for presenting your prayers

71
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: before God. Hope you'll never forget God as present and

72
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: that He's listening to you. Ask Jesus to set you free.

73
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: Ask for his divine deliverance and supernatural strength. Ask him

74
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: to break every chain and to take down every strong

75
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: hold in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to open

76
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: your spiritual eyes. Ask the Holy Spirit to enable you

77
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: to lean on Him and not your own understanding. Ask

78
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: him to teach you to recognize truth and to empower

79
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: you with Godly wisdom and discernment. Remember, you will know

80
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: the truth, and the truth will set you free. Jesus

81
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: is waiting for you to know him. He longs to

82
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: break every chain and destroy every evil stronghold in your life.

83
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: He wants to deliver you from the bondage of sin

84
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: and free you from guilt and shame. Jesus wants to

85
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: set you free. He wants you to live free from

86
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: the hindrances of sin, from its control over you. And

87
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: he wants to pour out his grace and his mercy

88
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: upon you and to bless you. I hope you'll open

89
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: your heart to him and be set free in Jesus's name. Amen,
