Don't Exchange The Truth For A Lie

Don't exchange the truth for a lie. The Word of God is true, don't exchange it for whatever else. Anything that doesn't match up to the word of God is a lie. To exchange the word of God for something else is a grave sin. That was the grave error that Adam and Eve had committed. God said that if they eat the fruit of the tree, they will surely die. The devil said, they will not surely die. They decided to go for the devil's word instead of God's word. Therefore the history that we all know.

God said to Joshua: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. When we hold on to the truth of the word of God, the natural result would be our success! And that is really the purpose of that book. To tell us what to do; to lead us in the way of life, of prosperity, of success. When we go the other way, we commit the same thing as Adam and Eve did.

The word of God says, do not be anxious about anything; we should do exactly that. That is not easy to do especially when we talk about major stuff; but we need at least to start somewhere. And so at some point we got to break that habit of worrying and being troubled and fearful always. If something goes wrong or something gets damaged, we should be quick to remember that our God is a God who restores even to double of what was lost.

It is important to know that Book. So that we can know what is our hope. To a cancer patient who doesn't know about Christ, all is lost. The doctors proclaim his remaining days and all he could do is wither into deep sorrow. But a true believer will not be afraid because there is a part in the Scripture that says, by His stripes we are healed! While the former has hope of death, the latter has hope of life.

Do not exchange the truth for a lie, there is cure for cancer, and all you need to do is to know about it.

A New Creation

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A very simple yet so profound truth that we must not forget: we are new creations in Christ. We are not the person that we were before we came to know Christ. We are a new person, a new creature in Christ. This is very foundational and very, very important. Many Christians tend to dwell on the Cross. They stay there and never want to be removed from there because the Cross meant the forgiveness of sins. And that is true. But the very purpose of the Cross was not the forgiveness of sins, but rather, to condemn sin. A Christian is not a sinner saved by grace as some denominations teach. And that phrase, sinner saved by grace, is never really found in the Bible. A Christian is not a sinner. We were sinners before we became Christians, but when we became Christians, we put on the new man. Religion would tell you that you are not worthy, how that you are ...

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

God Is

And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.  (1Co 2:3-5) There is so much theology going around in these last days. Maybe you can find thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of different, sometimes clashing schools of thought even within the Christian faith. But the truth is not in any of them. Most people believe that because they have a Ph.D in theology, they already know the truth, and they have assumed office as authorities in the faith toward God.  The believer in Christ must be well able to discern which one is of God and which one is not. If you are confident in your faith because it is backed up by volumes and volumes of technical writings, then that faith is not founded on Christ. Maybe you've come to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but belief and fait...
