 That the truth will set you free? Well not exactly. This is often how John 8:32 is misquoted. The whole verse is really: “And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”  Now let’s see in better, through Hebrew eyes. “To know” is a verb, and in Hebrew, it does not mean just to know intellectually, but to know experientially, as ‘Adam knew his wife.’

He knew her intimately: body-soul-spirit.  So for us to fully obey and realize The Command in our lives, we need “to know” the truth experientially; then we will be doing this verse in actuality. Thus the command is that when you experientially know the truth, the truth that you know experientially will set you free. You live it, and it gives you freedom. Amen.

defend what needs no defense. See it as ridiculous and treat it as such. Dismiss it. Kill it by giving it no fuel, no energy, no space, no place, and no time. Push forward to the truth; reach past it, beyond it, and keep moving forward. They will try to drag you back into the

people ridicule you,  seeking to diminish, defame, detract from, and mock? Give no fire to falsehood; know who you are, and who you’re not. GOD already knows you. Your true friends know you, and you must know you. Look at the ridiculous as ridiculous. It is trying to get justification. Give it none, do not seek to

dirt. Get out of range, be a moving target; never lose your true focus. Stay with the truth that makes you free. Give it nothing, and take from the enemy everything. Give them no room to breathe, attack, plan, plot, gain any advantage whatsoever!  It is ridiculous to entertain the ridiculous.

We will not lack or be deficient in anything. What a promise. Also note that it is a future tense, thus we will not lack; our future is secure. GOD promises us a future and a hope; Jeremiah 29:11, one in which HE gives us peace, and not calamity, a future and a hope. What a promise! Realized by those who put their active trust in HIM!!  Hold

on to GOD, hold on to truth. Look to realize GOD and HIS Truth, to be free. Experiencing truth, the truth that in HIM you have no lack. “And in HIM you are having been made complete,  WHO is The Head over all rule and authority. Colossians 2:10. What a promise!  IT is for you,

Look at The Beloved Psalm 23,  at one aspect of verse two (verse one in English). The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack. This is better translated: “THE LORD is my SHEPHERD, I shall not lack.”  This deals with a deficiency, something that we do not have. THE LORD HIMSELF is our Shepherd, so we will not lack anything.
