However, it was true that if they’d have known it was God’s will for him to be well, they could have helped to give the boy a fighting chance. Honestly, Greg wasn’t to know what may or may not have happened in the future. If wasn’t for ‘if it be thy will prayers’, Greg wondered whether his grandson might still be alive today. Greg went on to explain that if he and the rest of the church actually knew that it was God’s will to heal his grandson, then they would have prayed the truth with authority. The church and the family of the boy all pulled together praying what Greg called “if it be thy will prayers”. Knowing the truth results in freedomĪ great teacher called Greg once shared how his young grandson got sick as a little boy. It’s not just truth alone that makes you free, it’s only the truth you actually know that brings freedom to your life. The latter part of John 8:32 is often quoted, but the first part says, ‘and you shall know the truth’. Yet sometimes people struggle in prayer asking for God to change things, but maybe it is their “knowing”, or lack thereof, that could be holding them back. It may be physical health, emotional health, or spiritual health. There are many areas in life where people desire to see freedom. However, if you’re not experiencing abundant life, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Let’s acknowledge the goodness of God shining through your life. If you are, do share in the comments section below. The question is, are you experiencing the freedom of God in your life the way you know you should? The abundant life that Jesus promised? Though you may have been in the faith for many years, it is still possible to not know the gospel truth. One of the reasons we don’t see this freedom that the scripture speaks of is because we do not actually know the truth.
So, do you desire to be set free and experience these things? Why aren’t people set free? Freedom is walking in righteousness, peace, health, prosperity and so much more. Therefore, when people experience the good and perfect gifts that come from their heavenly Father, that is freedom. This is an element of freedom, however, this isn’t the sense of freedom that Jesus is referring to in John 8:32.Īnd you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.įreedom here refers to freedom from the trap of the devil – sin and death.
Many people may believe they are already free because they have the free-will to make their own decisions. To really be set free by the truth, it’s important to live the scripture rather than just being able to quote it. Many people may not experience this freedom that the Bible says they should have. A well-known verse of scripture has become a great worldwide quote, ‘and the truth shall set you free’.
