We have been challenged recently to consider parallels in the Spirit. Often times God is doing things in similar ways in different locations. We are so excited to be able to claim what we see that God is doing in one place or in one person and simply say, I WANT THAT. God ignites faith as we share testimony. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. So any work or activity in the spirit realm that is proclaimed out loud, has a creative dimension to it as it is given voice. Life and death are in the power of the tongue and in the same way that God spoke the worlds into being though words, we speak, we decree, we declare and God's creative power is released into the situations we are in. Its as if heaven is released into our arena.
Understanding is seen first in the spirit and as that understanding is in full agreement and alignment with the nature of God, brings forth His life in creative power. Isn't that amazing? That is what truth is. When ideas are fully reflective and manifest the character and nature of God. These truths are powerful and liberating. His truth sets us free.
Sadly, lies have similar power and influence in negative ways. Lies can spread if we believe them. We can move into truth or we can move into the reality of a lie. Not all lies are void of authentic experience. The enemy is the father of lies. He uses various experiences to authenticate his spiritual influence but transactions in his economy are based on counterfeits. People can be fooled and even proud of owning designer labeled knock-offs. They are still lies, quality reproductions but genuine fakes just the same.
I am amazed at how many people are living in some kind of bondage all caused by believing in a lie. Politicians often make promises that are founded on false information, false data, and can sway governments and populations into united bondage and destruction. Consider Germany and how it was swayed to believe that the economic challenges the nation was facing in the 1930's was due to Jewish banking practices. They were then swayed through lies to agree to annihilate 6 million Jewish people in the holocaust.
The only way to really distinguish truth from error is to invite Holy Spirit to reveal truth in every situation. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth. Jesus speaks truth. His Word is truth. His truth sets us free. To be liberated from the captivity that we find ourselves in, requires a fresh encounter with TRUTH.
