Live in God's Reality!

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Colossians 1:13

God has made His Word available to us so that our lives will be for His glory. The mind of God is revealed in His Word. God's Word is the Truth (John 17:17). Nothing else that is contrary to it stands. Every other thing that does not line up with the Word of God is unreal. In other words, the Word of God is the basis upon which everything exists. No wonder John said nothing was made without the Word (John 1:3).

When you are born again, you are called to live a life of faith. Christianity is a walk of faith. We walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Thus, that which pertains to the senses are not the determinants of the course of our lives. That which determines the course of my life is my reality.

I am supposed to choose my reality. In which realm do I choose to operate? Which system governs my life? Is it the system of God's Kingdom or the system of the devil's kingdom. It depends on you!

You must make a choice even though you are a child of God. God's reality is where you must live. Live in His reality- His Word. That's where you find rest! That's where you find peace! That's where you find joy!

Outside of God's reality (which is His Word) there's only chaos and uncertainty!

Some people have experienced so much of the effect of world's system that they no longer even believe that God's reality is real.

You see, in the Kingdom of God, you do not have to see before you believe; you believe even though you have not seen. You acknowledge the sovereignty of the Word even though you have not seen its manifestation yet. In truth, your eyes of faith should be the eyes you use to perceive everything in every circumstance every day.

For example, the Bible says that by Jesus' stripes you were healed. Now, maybe you feel a headache. The reality of God, which is His Word, is that you were healed 2,000 years ago. Therefore, in God's mind, he has already healed you. You've been made whole already! "Then, why do I still feel the pain?"  The pain is not your reality. Your reality is health and strength. Believe that in your heart and confess it! Speak it forth concerning yourself.

Choose to see from God's Reality- His Word; that's how you
will be able to live in His reality!

Many of God's children are burdened with guilt, condemnation and unworthiness. I would to God that they'd just pick up their Bibles and read Romans 8:1: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." God has declared you not guilty!

Or maybe, they could turn to Romans 5:1: "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Or they could turn to 2 Corinthians 5:21: "He was made to be sin, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."

What a blessing the Word of God is!

As you meditate on the Word of God, believing what it says and talking and acting in a corresponding manner, you will literally manifest the glory of it to the world around you.

The principle is:

# See what God says.

# Believe what you've seen.

# Talk that way despite your circumstances.

Live in God's reality!
