What is the truth?

So many things around us may appear to be true, but are nothing more than shadows.

How do we weigh the truth? 

The Bible.

It is as simple as that statement.

For many years I was tormented mentally with demons of fear and horror.  I finally discovered that a spirit of horror had entered me as a young child because my mom would place me in front of horror movies.   She didn’t realize what she was doing, but satan didn’t care.  He never plays fair.

The fear increased as I gave into it.  The thoughts in my mind began to take control (even though they were suggestions whispered into my ears by the demonic tormentors).  No – I wasn’t hearing voices if that is what you’re thinking.   The demons are tricky enough to speak to us in first person so that we THINK the thoughts are our own.  But once you’re wise to their devices … the game changes.

So, how did I stop the torment?  How did I realize the TRUTH?  I began to read the Bible.

When the scriptures stated that I had authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy and that nothing would harm me (Luke 10:19), I began to BELIEVE IT!  I started standing on the scriptures and I confessed them.  I used them as my sword against the devil.  I chose to believe God’s Word over my own feelings.

If I hadn’t read the Bible and renewed my mind with His Word – I would still be bound and tormented.

God’s Word outweighs everything else in our lives.  Do you know what God’s Word says about your life?
