John 8:32 (NKJV)

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Freedom isn’t automatic; it comes from knowing the truth. During the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved people were declared free. Yet many remained in bondage because they hadn’t heard or didn’t believe the news. Similarly, we can be spiritually free, but unless we know and act on this truth, we will still live as captives.

There’s a difference between being "set" free and being "made" free. Imagine a bird trapped in a cage. If the cage door is opened, the bird is "set" free, but if it doesn’t understand it can fly, it’s not truly "made" free to live in that freedom. Being "made" free means having experiential knowledge and acting on the truth of the Word.

The Word mixed with faith are chain breakers. To “know” the truth, we must immerse ourselves in God’s Word and then act on it by faith. As we do, we’re not only set free but made free. Refuse to be enslaved by ignorance any longer. Get to know the Word and act on it!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I refuse to be bound by ignorance. As I immerse myself in the truth of the Word and act in faith, every chain in my life is broken. I walk boldly in the freedom Christ has provided. I am not only set free; I am fully made free to live in victory every day! Amen.
