Jesus Christ is the truth. Jesus said I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6 N.L.T.

The Bible is the Word of Truth. Do not Snatch your word of truth from me, for my only hope is in your Laws. Psalm 119:43 N.L.T. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realise what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 N.L.T.

The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth. When the Spirit of truth comes He will guide you into all truth. John 16:13 N.L.T.

Although we are living in a dark world we need not stumble if we would just be more careful about what we accept as being from God. In the Bible light and truth are synonymous. Every word that God speaks is true He cannot lie because Truth is Gods Nature.

God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and the Bible which is the Word of God are all in total agreement, They stand together like a tripod firmly on three legs. While two of the legs are God we must remember the third the Bible is not God but is nevertheless the Word of God. But I repeat unless all three are in total agreement then what is being presented is not true reject it!

Paul warned the saints at Corinthian who were at a point of being led into false doctrine by those who claimed to be apostles but were false! they obviously had disregarded his instruction to test the spirits to see if they are of God.

You seem to believe whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach about a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. 2 Corinthians 11:4. N.L.T.

So please remember the tripod of Truth! The Lord Jesus who is truth. The Holy Spirit of Truth, and the Word of Truth the Bible

We are in a warfare unlike any other, our enemy is unseen but his tactics remain the same in every generation.

The devil and his demons seek to deceive us in two primary ways first by causing us to think that the thoughts put in our minds by the devil are our own, then by thinking they are in accordance with Gods will.

When we get to that stage we are already deceived, the Bible calls it having a stronghold in our thinking.

A stronghold is an addiction to wrong thought patterns in our minds. So how is a stronghold broken? Paul tells us how in 2 Corinthians 10:1-5

1 understand that you are in a spiritual battle against the devil.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 N.L.T.

2 the devil is a liar so because its his nature he will always try to deceive you.
He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; For he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44b N.L.T.

3 deal with pride by bringing all your thoughts in complete obedience to Gods word.
With these weapons ( prayer, faith, hope, love, Gods word, the Holy Spirit) “emphasis mine” we break down every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God. With these weapons we conquer their rebellious ideas, we teach them to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 N.L.T.

4 be alert to what you see and hear especially on TV and social media not everything that claims to be Christian is!
Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 N.L.T.

We can either be captivated by our thoughts or take our thoughts captive. The choice is yours.
