And ye shall&nbsp;<strong>know</strong>&nbsp;the Truth, and the Truth shall make you Free&quot;&nbsp;(John  8:32). This is God's Method for Deliverance. Through Faith in Him, He makes us  to&nbsp;&quot;know the  Truth&quot;.&quot;20&nbsp;Now the God of Peace, that brought again from the  dead our LORD Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the Blood of the  Everlasting Covenant,&nbsp;21&nbsp;<strong>make you Perfect</strong>&nbsp;in every good work&nbsp;<strong>to DO His Will</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>working in you</strong>&nbsp;that which is Wellpleasing in His sight, through  Jesus Christ; to Whom be Glory for ever and ever. Amen&quot;(Hebrews  13:20-21). And we are to cooperate with Him in the doing and working.&nbsp;&quot;Be not conformed to this world: but be ye  transformed&nbsp;<strong>by  the renewing of your mind</strong>, that ye may prove what is that  Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect, Will of God&quot;&nbsp;(Romans 12:2). For&nbsp;&quot;For it is God which worketh in you both to WILL and to DO of His Good Pleasure&quot;(Philippians  2:13). Jesus' Example to us was that,&nbsp;&quot;My Father worketh hitherto, and I work&quot;&nbsp;(John  5:17).<br>
<br>
Any person who knows that Jesus said,&nbsp;&quot;I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life&quot;&nbsp;(John  14:6), is a hypocrite if he doesn't follow the Truth.&nbsp;&quot;37&nbsp;Pilate  therefore said unto Him, Art thou a King then? Jesus  answered, Thou sayest that I am a King. To this end was I born, and for this  cause came I into the world, that I should bear Witness unto the Truth. Every  one that is of the Truth heareth My Voice.&nbsp;38&nbsp;Pilate  saith unto Him, What is Truth?&quot;&nbsp;(John 18:37-38). Staring Truth in the face, Pilate denies Truth. This is what we do when we refuse the  Counsel of His Truth.&nbsp;&quot;He that is of  God heareth God's Words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of  God&quot;&nbsp;(John  8:47). This is the test of whether a person knows God, or not. Do you believe  what He said?&nbsp;&quot;He that hath  received His Testimony hath set to his seal that God is True&quot;&nbsp;(John  3:33).&nbsp;&quot;Jesus answered  and said unto them, Though I bear Record of Myself, yet My Record is True: for  I know whence I came, and whither I go&quot;&nbsp;(John  8:14). To believe Jesus' Word is to&nbsp;&quot;know the Truth&quot;&nbsp;(John  8:32).&quot;And the Truth shall make you Free&quot;&nbsp;(8:32). Mark it down.&nbsp;&quot;We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth  us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth,  and the spirit of error&quot;&nbsp;(1John 4:6).&nbsp;&quot;So then Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing  by the Word of God&quot;&nbsp;(Romans 10:17).<br>
<br>
Human action testifies to the heart condition of man,&nbsp;&quot;for as he thinketh in his heart, so is  he&quot;&nbsp;(Proverbs 23:7).  Therefore, a true child of God hears the Word, and by hearing, obeys the Word  of God.&nbsp;&quot;Where is the  wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God  made foolish the wisdom of this world?&quot;&nbsp;(1Corinthians  1:20).<br>

&quot;6&nbsp;Howbeit we speak Wisdom among them that are  perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world,  that come to nought:&nbsp;7&nbsp;But we speak the Wisdom of God in a mystery, even  the hidden Wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:&nbsp;8&nbsp;which none of the  princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have  crucified the LORD of Glory.&nbsp;9&nbsp;But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear  heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath  prepared for them that love Him.&nbsp;10&nbsp;But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit:  for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.&nbsp;11&nbsp;For what man knoweth  the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things  of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.&nbsp;12&nbsp;Now we have  received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we  might know the things that are freely given to us of God.&nbsp;13&nbsp;Which things also we  speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost  teacheth; comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual.&nbsp;14&nbsp;But the natural man  receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto  him: neither can he know them, because they are Spiritually discerned.&nbsp;15&nbsp;But he that is  Spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man...&nbsp;18&nbsp;Let no man deceive  himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become  a fool, that he may be wise&quot;&nbsp;(1Corinthians  2:6-15,18).<br>

The Word says, that we are to&nbsp;&quot;be renewed in the spirit of your mind&quot;&nbsp;(Ephesians 4:23)&nbsp;by&nbsp;&quot;proving what is acceptable unto the  LORD&quot;&nbsp;(Eph 5:10).&nbsp;&quot;Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding  what the Will of the LORD is&quot;&nbsp;(Eph 5:17).&nbsp;&quot;21&nbsp;Prove all things; hold fast that which is Good.&nbsp;22&nbsp;Abstain from all  appearance of evil&quot;&nbsp;(1Thessalonians  5:21-22). And so, brethren,&nbsp;&quot;for this cause  we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire  that ye might be filled with the Knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and  Spiritual Understanding&quot;&nbsp;(Colossians 1:9). Love  the LORD.&nbsp;&quot;Love not the  world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the  Love of the Father is not in him&quot;&nbsp;(1John  2:15). Remember, that though it is&nbsp;&quot;not  by works of&nbsp;[our own]&nbsp;righteousness which we have done, but according to  His Mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy  Ghost&quot;&nbsp;(Titus 3:5), that  still, as His children and in&nbsp;<em>His</em>&nbsp;Righteousness, we are to be&nbsp;&quot;as obedient children, not fashioning  yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance&quot;&nbsp;(1Peter 1:14).&nbsp;&quot;My  Father worketh hitherto, and I work&quot;&nbsp;(John 5:17). His Truth does Deliver.<br
