Power Of Truth Versus Fact

Key Scripture:  “Prepare for war! Wake up you mighty men!”

Power Point:

     When our country was formed, the facts were that we were a very small force compared to the British Empire.  We were not even the united states. We were simply a fringe element of society who believed that being taxed without a voice in that process was wrong. It was a colony of believers who believed that God, not the present king of England should control their destinies. They knew the king did not have their best interests at heart.

     King George was a powerful ruler. Our “troops” were mismatched, untrained farmers and countrymen who simply had a passion to see God in charge of their lives. The colonists were small in number, just like the children of Israel. BUT they shared a big God. They stood still and watched the salvation of the Lord and out they came; out of Egypt, out of the wilderness, and into the land filled with God's promises.

     Things are not so dissimilar today are they? We’re still outnumbered and we’re still fighting to see our God honored and in charge of our destinies. 

     Those are the facts. The truth is that God will be God if you let Him.  The truth is that He will strongly support those whose hearts belong to Him. The truth is that He promises to answer when you call and turn things around. He simply asks that we ask, in faith believing, and  that we do not waiver. Faith in His goodness is required.

     There may be some facts that seem to be “set in stone” in your life right now. You may have had a bad health report, or a bad financial report, or a bad relationship report. You may be in the throes of addiction or some other kind of captivity.  Could I offer a word of advice?  Don’t look at the facts, look at what God has written down for you in His word. Look Him in the eye and repeat His promises back to Him until the Truth becomes a matter of fact for you. That’s how you bring heaven to earth. That’s how a heavenly army marches forward.

     If you trust Him, He will take a big eraser and erase the facts in favor of His Truth; that’s how it keeps marching on.

Power Thought:

Gideon ended up fighting with pitchers and trumpets. In our weakness we can see God’s strength. It doesn't matter how you fight as long as you fight for the Truth to be told.
