OUTLINE:

A “good” lie never stands alone for long.

Deliverance is but a change of perspective away!

Heb 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Jn 17:17
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

MacDonald on Jas 1:21
“It is not enough to receive the implanted word, we must obey it. There is no virtue in possessing the Bible or even in reading it as literature. There must be a deep desire to hear God speaking to us and an unquestionable willingness to do whatever He says. We must translate the Bible into action. The Word must become flesh in our lives.”

MacDonald on Jas 1:21
“To profess great love for God’s Word or even to pose as a Bible student is a form of self-deception unless our increasing knowledge of the Word is producing increasing likeness to the Lord Jesus. To go on gaining intellectual knowledge of the Bible without obeying it can be a trap instead of a blessing.”

MacDonald on Jas 1:21
“If we continually learn but do not do it, we become depressed, frustrated and callous. ‘Impression without expression leads to depression.’  Also, we become more responsible to God. The ideal combination is to read the Word and obey it implicitly.”

The Power of Truth
The Word of Truth is the one thing always able to break the chains of bondage to lies!

Deliverance is but a change of perspective away!

Regarding Truth
  • Rejecting the Truth never changes it.
  • The Truth never leaves a person unaffected.

Is 55:11 [Amplified]
So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

The Power of the Word
If the Word can save a person from Hell (Jesus is the Word - Jn 1), then He can certainly deliver a person from a web of lies they’ve been living in!

An obedient person is a protected person.

Now’s the Time!
Now’s the time to receive the Word implanted. Now’s the time to align your perceptions with GOD’S reality. Now’s the time to protect your family.

Ro 12:12
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

An obedient person is a protected person.

On Marriage and Family
A marriage and family of believers is designed to bring glory to God. That is the very first objective of both divine institutions for believers.

The Danger of Skewed Perception
Disoriented people make terrible, life-changing decisions about marriage and family due to false presumptions about what these divinely ordained institutions were meant to be. When this all plays out, there’s inevitably pain and suffering, ESPECIALLY for those involved that are believers.

The Danger of Skewed Perception
For believers, what was meant to be a blessing, turns into a curse! That is the fate of the believer who enters into marriage and family with little or no regard for God’s will.

Maximum glory to God is the result of His love being present in a family.
