Lies Vs Truth

Last few days, I've been attacked by my own anxious mind (as always). Lies tried to linger in my mind. This lie kept popping up whenever I'm appreciating the goodness of God in my life. But few days ago, that lie has been so strong I cannot longer fight it with truth. It wants me to doubt, and I am slowly losing my confidence with the truth I have.

It says to me, "What if your God is not the real God? What if it's not God who kept saving you? What if you're not talking to the real God? What if He's not the One who kept sending your rescue? Because you don't deserve it all. Why would God bless and keep on saving someone who always fall short of His expectation?" 

But you know what, even in those silent battles, God hears. God sees. And here, right now, God gave me Isaiah 43:10 as an answer...

"10 You [are] My witnesses, says the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I [am] He. Before Me no God was formed, nor shall there be after Me." (Isaiah 43:10).

What is a holy place?

A holy place is somewhere God's presence is acknowledge. God is omnipresent, but in order for a place to be considered holy, God's presence must be acknowledged.

God wants me to remember..

Read Matthew chapter 8 for reference.

There are three things that I realized again in this chapter, or maybe it's much appropriate to say that I was reminded again through reading this chapter.

And here are these three things that God wants me to remember:

1. God is a healer of all kinds of disease but faith plays a vital part in this. Without faith, you cannot experience full blast of blessing and healing. Don't ask me why yet, because as of now, I've been asking the same question. Don't get me wrong here, I believe that God is a healer and that He is a Mighty God who loves us so much that's why it made me wonder why he requires faith in order for us to be healed, given the fact that He is a God who does not depend on what men can do, but with His willingness to do so.

All I can say now is that I have faith in Him, not because He requires me to have but because it becomes so natural as I walk my path with Him; with His greatness; and with His love. And maybe that's the answer: faith is a product of your relationship with God and without a relationship with God surely you wont come to Him and ask for a healing. Therefore, God wants us to know Him and experience how great He is.

2. When we know that God is the God who is in control, then there's nothing to worry about, no matter what you are facing right now.

3. Pigs aren't really good to eat. Therefore, I should avoid eating it. :)

Thank You God! :D
