Nothing is impossible with God. —-Luke 1:37

We are at war. The prize is my heart. Jesus kept His promise. He healed my heart.

Of course your heart would be the object of a great and fierce battle. It is your most precious possession. Without your heart you cannot have God. Without your heart you cannot have love. Without your heart you cannot have faith. Without your heart you cannot find the work you were meant to do. In other words, without your heart you cannot have life. The question is, Did Jesus keep his promise? What has he done for our hearts? ~~John Eldredge

I have a decision to make. I get to make it every day. Is it a bad thing to worship God? I can worship something else.  I can worship someone else. Now would be the time to choose.

I also get to choose for my family as well.

I choose to worship God. Me and my family.

“If you decide that it’s a bad thing to worship God, then choose a god you’d rather serve—and do it today. Choose one of the gods your ancestors worshiped from the country beyond The River, or one of the gods of the Amorites, on whose land you’re now living. As for me and my family, we’ll worship God.” ~~Joshua 24:15

Here is some great truth from Bill Johnson. It truly is a war over truth. You can find more at www.bjm.org. Check it out.

Most of us are acutely aware that we live in a world at war. But the war is not over power, land or money, or even good and evil. It is over something even more basic. The war is over truth, and the battlefield is the mind of every person. This war began in heaven, when Satan was cast down, but we were implicated in it by Adam and Eve–not merely when they ate the forbidden fruit, but when they decided to trust in a lie over God’s truth. Eating the fruit was merely evidence that they had believed the enemy’s lie. When you believe a lie, you empower the liar – agreeing with the devil empowers him. This becomes his license to kill, steal, and destroy. When Adam and Eve did so they denied God’s truth, which amounted to cutting off the branch on which there were sitting. Adam and Eve literally fell, but it happened when they decided to abandon God’s perspective for a distortion.

Romans 1:18-21 describes the fall of man explicitly as a fall from the truth:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Paul says that the reality of God’s eternal power and nature are “clearly seen” in the visible realm. That phrase literally means “seen from above.” When Adam and Eve fell, they fell from God’s perspective on reality. Before they “suppressed the truth”, they had unbroken access to the truth of God’s nature and His intentions for history. Paul also says that “what may be known of God [was] manifest in them.” This implies that, because they were made in the image of God, they could look at each other and see what God was like. But when they suppressed the truth of who God was, their own image was distorted, separating them from their identity and purpose. From this point on, the human race inherited a distorted perspective on reality and history.

Now that the breach of sin has been healed by the Cross, we as believers must allow the testimonies of God to teach us the truth that was lost to Adam and Eve–both His plan for history, and our identity and role in His-story. God’s plan for mankind has never changed, because He has not changed.
