Believe It

God can’t lie. It’s just fact:

“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” Titus 1: 2

“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie…” Hebrews 6: 18

“God is not a man, that He should lie…” Numbers 23: 19

“The Strength of Israel will not lie…” I Samuel 15: 29

What He has been pressing upon me recently is that God cannot lie. It is literally impossible for Him to lie. He simply can’t do it. So, what does this imply, as a result?

The promises He has made in His Word? Yeah, He is legally obligated to fulfill them.

*Victory (Romans 6-8)

*Comfort (II Corinthians 7: 6)

*His Faithfulness (Isaiah 54: 10)

*Forgiveness (Jeremiah 33: 8)

*Grace (II Corinthians 12: 9)

*Guidance (Isaiah 30: 21)

*Healing (Psalm 103: 3)

*Joy (John 15: 11)

*Life (I John 2: 25)

*Mercy (Deuteronomy 4: 31)

*Peace (John 14: 27)

*Provision (Psalm 37: 25)

*Redemption (Job 19: 25)

*Strength (Ephesians 3: 16)

*Wisdom (I Corinthians 1: 30)

*(and so many more…)

Do you realize that we, as Christians, can claim every single one of these promises in Christ Jesus? Not on our own merit or based off of anything that we have done but based solely upon what He has done. Our confidence in approaching the Throne of God is not that we are righteous or have anything good in and of ourselves, but that we are IN Him Who is perfect and has all the authority in the world to approach this throne (Hebrews 10:19).

Therefore, if God has promised and cannot lie, what are we saying when we disbelieve His promises or allow anything that is opposite of them into our lives?

What are we saying when we allow anxiety into our lives?

-He’s a liar. He cannot or has not given us complete peace in Jesus Christ.

What are we saying when we allow ourselves to be controlled by sin?

-He’s a liar. He cannot or has not given us complete victory in Jesus Christ.

What are we saying when we allow depression into our lives?

-He’s a liar. He cannot or has not given us complete joy in Jesus Christ.

You see, in the lives of believing Christians, there should be no such thing as any of those things. We have the promises of God, and He cannot lie. So, let us claim them as true and let Him make them true in our lives!

Because He’s promised. And He cannot lie.

“To walk in the Spirit is to assume by faith the victory with which He credits you, and God will vindicate your assumption and make it real in your experience.”

“We’re waiting to feel like it. Are you willing to reckon it?” Eric Ludy

“Learn, O pleading saint, to hold up the promise and the oath of God before Him. The Lord cannot deny His own declarations. Hold up the rod of promise, and have what you will.” Spurgeon

“If you have a divine promise, you need not plead it with an ‘If.’ You may urge it with certainty. The Lord meant to fulfill the promise, or He would not have given it. God does not give His words merely to quiet us, and to keep us hopeful for a while with the intention of putting us off at last, but when He speaks, it is because He means to do as He has said.” Spurgeon

“Covenant blessings are not meant to be looked at only but to be appropriated…There is nothing Christ dislikes more than for His people to make a show thing of Him, and not to use Him. He loves to be employed by us. The more burdens we put on His shoulders, the more precious He will be to us.” Spurgeon
