Everywhere in the world, everyday, people are searching for deliverance; we are all in need of deliverance from a certain type of bondage. These bondages could be physical, financial or spiritual, you name it. But Jesus said in John 8:32 – then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

What is this truth? It is not just a set of facts – a fact and a truth are different. While a fact may point to the truth, it may not necessarily be the truth. For instance while you may have no money in your pocket (fact), it does not mean that you are poor – in fact you may be very rich (truth). Even the Bible says that He became poor that we may become rich. In 2 Corinthians 4:18 Paul said that we do not look at what we see because what we see is temporary. David in Psalm 23 mentions that though he walks through the valley of the shadow of death – the shadow. Now the sickness you feel is a shadow and the truth is you are healed – by His stripes we are healed.

Now the Truth is not in ordinary things but God himself is the truth. In John 14:6, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. The more we get to know God the freer we shall become. The Church today has put so much into knowing Satan as opposed to knowing God. The knowledge of Satan breeds fear and the knowledge of God breeds faith. We need to get to know Christ personally; meditate on the word to know Christ, pray to know Christ, fellowship to grow in the knowledge of Christ. And the Truth shall set us free from every form of bondage!
