8-Day Armor Of God Boot CampSample
Truth is the absolute standard by which reality is measured. Let me say it another way; truth is God’s view on any subject. He is a God of truth. The Bible says the Spirit of God is “the Spirit of truth (John 14:17)”. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). God only functions in a realm of truth, whereas the evil one is the father of lies. The spiritual battle in which we are engaged is a battle between lies and the truth.
If you want to see victory in your spiritual life, you’re going to have to start with God’s view of a matter. Many times in our spiritual war, we get everybody else’s view on a matter, including our own. We may even have the facts, but you can have the facts and still not know the truth. Jesus said in John 8:32, only the truth can set you free.
You can have information and not have the truth. You can have emotions and not be responding to the truth. If you and I want to have spiritual victory in this spiritual war, that means we have to identify the issue—the subject at hand, the attack that we are experiencing, the evil day that seems to be coming against us. Then we’re going to have to rush to find out what God says about that matter.
Once you know that, His truth will inform the facts, and then you will know how to feel about it. When you start operating on God’s view of the matter truthfully because you are operating on the truth, you will begin to see the supernatural enter into the circumstances of your conflict and of your battle.
Go to war with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God, so that you can free God up and make Him comfortable to intervene into your circumstances with what He knows is the real deal.
Our scope of knowledge is very limited. If all we see is what we see, we really don’t see all there is to be seen, since it is a spiritual and invisible battle. Focus on the truth and watch God use it to bring you victory.
About this Plan
Life is a battle. Our circumstances and our choices often seem to conspire against us. In time, it can even feel like war. The Bible calls it Spiritual Warfare. The enemy is Satan. So, how do you fight such a foe? Tony Evans invites you to this spiritual boot camp, where he’ll teach you how to “put on” the whole armor of God.
