Walking in the Truth About God

Witness the Chains as They Fall Away
Pages 253-256

We have already looked at many of Satan's lies and the corresponding Truth that counters each lie. In this final chapter, we're going to highlight several of those Truths that are particularly crucial for women in our day to believe and embrace.

These are key Truths that we must go back to over and over again. They form a solid foundation and a protective fortress for the mind, will, and emotions. This is the Truth that sets you and me free.

1. God is good.

Psalm 119:68, "You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes."

The Truth is, regardless of the circumstances, regardless of what we feel, regardless of what we think, God is good, and everything He does is good.

2. God loves me and wants me to have His best.

Romans 8:32, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"

God doesn't love us because we're lovable or worthy, but because He is love. There is absolutely nothing we can do to earn or deserve His love. We cannot comprehend such unconditional love; but if we believe it and receive it, His love will transform our lives.

3. I am complete and accepted in Christ.

There is not one thing we can do to make ourselves acceptable to a holy God. Yet we can stand before Him clean and unashamed, acceptable in His sight because of Jesus Christ. Jesus is acceptable to Him, and we stand in Him.

4. God is enough.

Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."

The Truth is, if we have Him we have everything we need for our present peace and happiness.

5. God can be trusted.

Isaiah 28:16 (The Amplified), "Therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tested Stone, a precious Cornerstone of sure foundation; he who believes (trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone) will not be ashamed or give way or hasten away [in sudden panic]."

Hebrews 13:5, "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'"

6. God doesn't make any mistakes.

Isaiah 46:10, "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.'"

Other people may make serious mistakes that affect our lives. But God is always fulfilling His eternal purposes, and they cannot be thwarted by any human failure.

If we are in Christ, our lives are in His hand, and nothing can touch our lives that has not first been "filtered through His fingers of love."

Take A Minute to Pray

Lord, thank You for Your Word that tells me the truth about who You are, what You have done for me, and how much You love me. Right now, I claim that truth, and I surrender to it. Amen.
