We all know that 1 + 1 equals 2.
But what if we were told over and over again that 1 + 1 was 3.
Suppose we heard that daily, monthly, and yearly, without hearing the truth and seeing it’s proof.
Would we be so convinced that we would argue with those who held to the truth that 1 + 1 equals 2.
What a silly illustration you say!
Well, we prove that this can happen as people listen to the lies of those guided by evil. They declare good is evil and evil is good and multitudes believe all they are taught.
If we hear something enough, we grasp it as truth unless we know the truth and the truth has set us free and we continue to learn and walk in the truth that Jesus is the way and His word is Truth.
The word tells us there is life after death and each person will spend it in heaven with Jesus or in hell in torment. Yet multitudes believe there is no life after death because that is what they have been taught repeatedly.
The word teaches us that there is no difference in male and female, bond or free, race or heritage. We are all created by God almighty to be His hand extended on earth.
Yet many are convinced that some are superior to others whether it be gender, race, financial status, or family.
The word teaches that God is Love and He Loves us unconditionally but many who are taught that there is a God, are embedded with the lie that we must earn His love.
Others are taught there is no God and we can just live as we want. Others are told there is a God, but he is not concerned with the affairs of humans.
If a person hears how ugly they are consistently, they will see ugly in the mirror no matter how beautiful they may be.
But our heavenly father says we are Beautiful to Him, and we are precious in His sight!
Lies heard and listened to can shape our thinking and our beliefs until we are convinced they are right.
The word tells us that we were fearfully and wonderfully made and yet many believe it ss ok to play god and take that precious life before it is ever born.
Why am I sharing this? Because we have allowed the world too much room in our homes and schools and even our churches, feeding us, our youth, our children, and our friends, lies.
The word tells us that the devil is a liar, but we do not believe that.
We continue to allow half-truths or total lies to infiltrate our minds, wills, and emotions and forget that Jesus said we would know the truth and the truth would set us free. Free from evil and lies and free to be all we were created to be!
In Matthew and Mark Jesus teaches us that it is so important what we see and hear and where we go that he uses an illustration of exaggeration that we should cut off hand or foot or pluck out an eye. He was teaching that it is important that we guard the truth.
To receive the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the Cross is the beginning of walking in truth. Then we must spend time reading and meditating on the Bible and listening to the still small voice deep inside to continue to walk in truth.
We must share truth with others and pray their hearts are open to truth.
If those in the world we live in never hear truth, how can they know they believe a lie!
What lie are you believing today? Is it your worth, or relationships, or physical, financial or the world around us?
May each of us take the truth of the Bible and make it what we think and listen to and believe. May each of us defeat evil with truth. The truth sets us free and Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life!

Father, thank you for your truth that says you fight our battles and provide for us and tell us how to live life to its fullest! May each of our conscience minds and subconscious minds hear only your voice. May you assure us of truth deep inside and may we share the truth that you, Father, so loved us, you gave so we can have life and life abundantly. Thank you that all good and perfect gifts come from you and you never change! I ask this in Jesus’ name! Amen!
Love, MeMaw!
