John 8:32 - "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
It may be a fact that someone is sick. The doctors can say that he / she is sick. The X-ray film shows that he / she is sick. But God’s Word says that by Jesus’ wounds he / she is healed! (Isaiah 53:5; 1Pet 2:24). That is the truth about the fact or situation. What is the difference between fact and truth? Facts change, but truth—God’s Word—remains!
Consider the cold, hard facts some people face. When such situations hit us and we allow the “facts” to 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 to the truths that we believe. He is the Spirit of truth. (John 16:13). He is not the Spirit of facts and does not bear witness to facts.
When God’s people choose to defy the facts and walk instead in His truths regarding their situations, the Holy Spirit in them will bear witness to the truths that they believe and the facts will change.
The next time you are hit by disturbing facts, let God’s Word settle the truth about your situation. And as the Holy Spirit bears witness to the truths that you believe, the facts will change and you will receive your miracle!
Thought for the day!
Believe and confess what God tells you about a situation and see the facts change and line up with the truth. Facts will change when you rely on the truth and the truth—God’s Word—remains unchanged always!
