Knowledge and faith: keys to freedom

“Therefore my people have gone into captivity Because they have no knowledge; Their honourable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst.”Isaiah 5:13 NKJV.

I remember one sunny day in 2021 when I struggled so much with intrusive thoughts and did not know how to stop the voices. I kept asking God “Why am I bound even though the scriptures promise freedom”. The enemy wanted me to think God is a liar. But He is not!!! I simply lacked knowledge.

Scriptures say that “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” John 8:32. It is the truth that you know that will set you free. It is not just being in the faith. This is why you need to read books, and listen to various teachers in the body depending on what issue you are dealing with. I heard a preacher say it is like going to various wards in a hospital.

Furthermore, knowing isn’t going to happen at once because you heard the truth one time. it is the truth that you have faith in and remember that faith comes by hearing and hearing (Romans 10:17). So keep reading, and keep engaging with messages on YouTube or whatever platform appeals to you best. Just keep hearing and building faith, till you know How faithful God is, till you know your identity in Jesus Christ.

My dear friend and sibling, knowing God and His knowledge is a non-negotiable, if you will overcome the things that come against you. You must read, you must learn. Reading also helps create new neuro pathways in your brain so that you can think of new things as opposed to the old negative things that you constantly think about.

The lack of knowledge will keep you captive and bound. Today I would like to encourage you to pick a book and read. You can start with Kenneth Hagin book on the believer’s authority, I also have a book on this website on finding hope that would help your mental health.

Jesus did not die for you to be bound to mental health struggles and trauma(John 10:10). The debt has been paid for.

You are loved and you’ve been bought with a price.

Your sister,

Favour
