KNOW IT AND YOU ARE FREE!

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32[KJV]

Although many Bible versions render the above verse as, “the truth shall set you free,” to be set free is not exactly the same as to be made free. To be set free is the instance when that which kept a person in bondage was taken away: but it is possible for a person to still be in bondage in his mind, even when the yoke has already been removed because he does not know it. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hos. 4:6[KJV]

DO I BELIEVE, OR DO I BELIEVE NOT?

That is a question many people want an answer to. What does it really mean to have faith? Or better still, what is faith? Is there something that seems like faith but is not?

Now let me explain what faith is not so by it you can know the real faith. Faith is not mental agreement. It is beyond that. Just because you agree with your mind that something is possible does not mean you have faith concerning that very thing.

Faith is not mental assent. For example you seem to agree in your mind that “by His stripes we are healed”, Isaiah 53:5, but you are not really believing it in your heart.
