It's A Fact

It's A Fact by Keith Cook

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3

The Fact is this, Jesus Is Real - Heaven Is Real - The Devil Is Real - Hell Is Real.

No matter what you have heard, read, or seen on television, God is not dead, Jesus was more than a prophet, and eternity will be waiting for everyone when they die.

The cultural elite want to program God out of our culture.

They want everyone to be free to live a hedonistic life, with no rules, no guilt, no authority figures, no responsibility for decisions.

They see the Church, the Bible, and Christians as being old fashioned, outdated, narrow minded, and lacking intelligence.

Yet, nothing has changed since the foundation of the world.

The devil came to Eve, in the garden, and basically tried the same thing:

The devil tried to get Eve to question God's word.
The devil wanted Eve to try to analyze God's commands.
The devil took Eve down the destructive path of trying to critique the value of following God through obedience to the will and commands.

Eve fell for it and so did Adam. Mankind has been falling for it ever since.

Today you need to live by the Facts as presented by God in His Word.

Instead of questioning God's Word you must study God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate your heart and mind to all the riches and treasures found within its pages and precepts.

Flee from the temptation of analyzing God's commands and just do what He says do. His ways are not our ways. His wisdom is from the beginning and the end. He knows everything, sees everything, can do anything. We know little, see through clouded eyes, and can not do most things. By just doing what God instructs us to do eliminates the limitations of man being in charge and opens up the potential of an almighty, all powerful, all knowing God being in control.

Instead of critiquing the value in following Christ rely on Christ. Eagerly look to Him for direction, comfort, and provision. Living life on His highest plane will bring a wealth of reward and security.

Today God is calling you to live your life in the facts as presented to you in His Word. It's a fact you can rely on. It's a fact you can depend on. You can stake your life and future on it too!

Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that God will allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate your heart and mind to the riches and treasures in God’s Word!

On The Go Prayer Focus: Keith and the Nigeria Team as they minister through November 6, 2011 in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
