In today’s world, thinking independently has been subtly stifled. We are often met with convincing messages that urge us to “trust us; we will provide you with the facts you need. We are dedicated to ensuring your well-being.” Beneath this surface-level reassurance lies a veiled agenda—an unspoken plan encouraging dependency and compliance rather than fostering critical thought and self-reliance.

John 8:32 KJV is a promise… “ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The deceiver knows their control will be broken once the truth is embraced.

Embracing my deep connection with God is of utmost importance to me. I have personally endured a period of profound darkness that I am determined never to revisit. I am firmly committed to relentlessly pursuing the truth in all areas of my life. I believe in thoroughly understanding the Bible and not relying wholly on someone else’s interpretation. Instead, I meticulously weigh all Christ-professed messengers through discernment. If it goes against the Word of God, then I want nothing to do with it.

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. At this moment know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh is of God:” 1 John 4:1-5 KJV.

God inspires us to seek the truth, encouraging us to pursue it passionately. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8 KJV) We will not go away confused.

Immerse yourself in the profound teachings of the Word of God, seeking to understand its depths and meanings. As you engage in this exploration, fervently pray for divine insight into deceptive circumstances that may arise. Invite the Holy Spirit to illuminate your mind and heart, helping you to see beyond the shallow aspects of situations and events. Allow this spiritual guidance to lead you toward greater clarity and truth in your life.
