John 14:16-17<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Have you ever believed in a fact for years only to discover that it\u2019s not true? Not all facts are true. Some facts can turn out to be lies. Sometimes lies are subtle. Some facts are acceptable to some people\u2026 but should they be for you?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Is your opinion based on the truth? How do you know? So who has the right answer? It\u2019s the Spirit of Truth. He\u2019s dwelt in you since the day you said yes to Jesus. That\u2019s when we know him. The Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Truth are the same. He is with you to help you, knowing God\u2019s thoughts and yours. As the Spirit of God, he can help you discern truth from lies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">When you believe in God, the Spirit of Truth smiles. His pleasure is to glorify God and to assist you in discerning the right decisions. Let him save you from worrying and guide you on the true path that can give you freedom. He will quiet your heart with his truth, comfort you, and give you hope and wisdom as you learn to trust him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Ask the Spirit of God to unveil any lies. If you long for the truth, he\u2019ll reveal it to you. Pay attention to him. Acknowledge him. Listen to him. You can even ask him to confirm what he said. The most common way God speaks and shows the truth is in his Word. Read it, digest it, and use it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Father God, thank you for the spirit of truth.
