When you complete this lesson, you will…
- Recognize the price you will pay if you do not love the Truth.
- Face the options you have when you know the Truth, and choose wisely.
- Accept the price you may have to pay if you do love the Truth above all else.
- Commit to becoming intimate with the Truth so you can be free.
- Establish safety nets in your search for Truth.
Before you begin…
The Bible teaches that we must love the Truth or we will come under a spirit of delusion and believe a lie. Loving the Truth always comes at a price. Only God’s grace can give you the courage and faith to lay aside everything else if that is what loving the Truth costs you. You can’t work this up on your own. Ask the Spirit to minister to your heart through this lesson:
Lord, I draw near with a sincere heart, repentant and washed by the blood of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I set aside my thoughts, my reasoning, my theology, my fears and my pride. I relax, cease my own strivings, and tune to your flow within. Holy Spirit, I open my heart and mind to you. I ask that You anoint the eyes of my heart and enlighten my understanding. I ask that You grant me God’s thoughts, God’s pictures, God’s emotions and God’s creativity. Thank you for what you reveal, in Jesus’ name, Amen. (Ps. 46:10; Ps. 62:5; Heb. 10:22; Eph. 1:17,18; Jer. 29:13; Isa. 1:18; Jn. 7:37-39; Acts 2:25)
