THE LIES WE BELIEVE

THE LIES WE BELIEVE

 
We spend much of our time overwhelmed by life simply because we believe lies. We look at one dimension and think it is all the reality there is, but forget about the unseen world and its reality.
My spirit is overwhelmed (vs. 3
I'm trapped (vs. 3)
There is no escape (vs. 4)
No one cares for my soul (vs. 4)
 
Ever been there? But, when he opened his eyes to the greater reality through prayer, He realized this:
 
You are my refuge (vs. 5)
You are my portion in the land of the living (vs. 5)
The righteous surround me (vs. 7)
You will deal bountifully with me (vs. 7)
Which reality was true? History shows us that the spiritual reality was more accurate than the physical. The unseen more factual than the seen.
 
If we are to be overcomers, we must look at our circumstances with spiritual eyes and believe that what God says is true. This can only be seen if we are men of the Word and prayer, for it is only here that these spiritual realities are seen. This is the life of faith. This is the life of those who walk by the Spirit and not merely the flesh. This is victory.
 
What does God say is REALLY TRUE about your situation right now?

In His presence is “fullness of joy and at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).

LOOKING UP IN A LOUD SEASON

September 12, 2024

As I write, we are in a political season. It is important, in some ways, but it is filled with the loud boasts and constant plots and plans of humans. Honestly, it wearies me and, if not careful, pulls my soul away from the presence of the Father.

THE COMING JUDGMENT
THE COMING JUDGMENT

September 10, 2024

If you wonder, “When will all this evil in the world be over?” Do not worry. It will happen when the time is ripe and not a moment before. But a day is coming when evil will be completely banished, Satan and his minions will be completely removed, and a new heaven and earth will come with no hint of evil. And at that time, every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
