Today, feeling really down....no friends; at least, that is what the enemy is trying to get me to believe...I get an email from a friend who says...the site I recommended really blessed her. She really needed to hear that particular message. Now, I don't know what message but I can guess. It's the same one I needed to hear. Again, active faith, not stagnant, dead, lifeless.
I could not listen to the live service last night as I wanted to because the time just does not work out for three hour time differences. Their on the East Coast. We're on the West Coast. For now, I am considering them my 'home church' http://www.2timothy22.org/. Take that one however you will...Anyhow, they had a guest speaker by the name of Dr. Larry Hutton (not sure of the spelling, but the author of Long Life). He was speaking on - what is the topic of the moment, FAITH. His Biblical reference was based on the story of Caleb and Joshua...Remember the spies in the land. Two saw God's promise, the others were looking at 'reality'. The nugget of truth I received from this sermon was 'truth and reality are two different things.' Spiritually speaking, truth is what God says in His Word. Reality is our circumstances which we can change by speaking God's Word in our life. I really liked his comment "No, we're not denying reality, We're CHANGING IT!" I pray that I can catch hold of this nugget along with my household. If ever I needed to hear these nuggets of truth it is now!
