It is imperative that as children of God we are able to decipher the difference between fact and truth. The world’s system of operation is full of ever changing knowledge. However, much of this knowledge is obtained with the absence of understanding real truth. For example, there are medical studies that support the notion that drinking red wine helps cure cancer. On the other hand, there are studies that completely refute this idea, saying that red wine actually causes some forms of cancers. Now both of these studies have legitimate research, and may be factual in nature. But, the TRUTH of the matter is that Jesus took every illness, affliction, and ailment with Him to the cross and by His stripes we are all healed (Isaiah 53:5)! Furthermore, as Christians we have all been promised abundant life (John 10:10); which includes healthy, illness free living.
Too many believers remain stagnant in their lives because they habitually put complete faith in fact instead of God’s truth. Thus, fear becomes the motivation for everything that they do. However, when fear is the catalyst for action it only leads to bondage in the very thing that is feared. Job said “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me” (Job 3:25). Which illustrates that fear directly connects us to our fears, just like faith directly connects us with blessings.
Accordingly, Satan uses our emotions as the channel to get us operating in the facts of our reality instead of in the Truth of God’s promises. So the next time you feel anxious, worried, nervous, or fearful about a circumstantial fact, take the time to see what God has to say about it. Then begin to verbally proclaim and meditate on God’s truth and watch yourself directly connect to God’s fact overriding power!
Be blessed good people.
