Facts Change But God’s Word Remains
27MAR/12 - Joseph Prince
John 8:32 - And u shall know the truth, and the truth shall make u free.”
Consider the cold, hard facts that these 3 people faced: The aunt of a lady in our church saw her X-ray which showed that one of her two kidneys was cancerous. A couple in our church read their medical reports which said that they would never be able 2 produce a child. A lady in our church who acted as a guarantor ended up being asked by the finance company 2 pay its $34 million.
When such situations hit us and we allow the facts 2 settle in our hearts, we end up feeling greatly troubled. But when we let the truths of God’s Word settle them all, we will sense the Holy Spirit bearing witness 2 the truths that we are believing. He is the Spirit of truth. (John 16:13) He is not the Spirit of facts and does not bear witness 2 facts.
It may be a fact that u are sick. The doctors say that u are sick. The X-ray film shows that u are sick. But God’s Word says that by Jesus’ stripes u are healed! (Isaiah 53:5) That is the truth about your situation. What is the difference between fact and truth? Facts change, but truth — God’s Word — remains!
When God’s people choose 2 defy the facts and walk instead in His truths regarding their situations, the Holy Spirit in them will bear witness 2 the truths that they are believing.
The lady w/the cancerous kidney underwent an operation 2 remove the organ. But praise God, she received supernatural restoration as later X-rays showed 2 healthy kidneys instead of one! God had formed a new kidney 4 her!
The childless couple received their miracle bundle of joy after seven years. Today, they are proud parents of not one, but four children!
The church member w/the $34 million debt told the finance company that it was not being fair 2 her and that God would protect her. The company’s management miraculously decided 2 cancel her debt!
The next time u are hit by disturbing facts, let God’s Word settle the truth about your situation. And as the Holy Spirit bears witness 2 the truths that u are believing, the facts will change and u will receive your miracle!
