About

I am who He says I am, I can do what He says I can do.  I don’t mind being called a fanatic when it comes to believing the Word.  It is the absolute truth, no matter what I see or feel.  The Word is God speaking to me and it has all the answers pertaining to life and Godliness.


Why call it “Let God Be True”?


I believe it is important to have at least one absolute truth that you believe about God that is a constant to fall back on when it feels like everything is falling apart.  For me the phrase “Let God be true” is that constant.  It comes from this scripture that is not commonly quoted:


Rom 3:3-4 (KJV) - 3 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? 4 Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar.


We should measure our lives against the Bible as the only truth.  If God said it, then that settles it.  If the Bible says, “by His stripes you were healed” and you have a physical situation that doesn't agree with the Bible, then it should be settled that the Bible is true, and the symptoms are lying.  We should seek the Lord to find out what we are missing in the area of healing rather than to just assume that it isn't His will, or that He just did not heal us. It might be a fact that I have a situation in my body, but the truth according to the Word of God, is that I am already healed.  Let God be true, even though the symptoms seem to be lying. 

If you listen to a teaching from the Bible and the interpretation of scripture seems to be like nothing you have ever heard, rather than to say the Word is not true, consider that perhaps the person preaching might be misinterpreting the scriptures.  So, in this case again, let God be true and let us find out if the preacher has deviated from the truth in the Word.  One sure way to see if something that is being preached is true, is to find at least 2 or maybe 3 witnesses from the Bible to confirm (2 Cor 13:1).  The Bible is able to interpret itself through different scriptures as the Bible books were written by different authors who have witnessed the same situations.


What God says in His Word is truth, no matter the contradiction.  Let me rather find out where I am missing it so I can better understand how to appropriate what Jesus paid for me to have. 


Why write a blog?


I am writing this blog as a way of making notes of truths that I am learning - a type of journal if you may.  They portray my journey through the Word of God and keep me accountable to do what I am learning.


I don’t mind sharing these truths.

God Loves Faith!

One of my all-time favourite subjects is faith and I have wanted to write about it for a long time now.  Every time I want to start, I see something more about faith that I want to add and so I never get to a place where I think I am ready to write.  But, I guess I am going to learn about faith and the things of God until I leave this earth.  So, it won’t be a waste of time to start putting some of it down on paper. I love to read about faith and the faith exploits of others.  I also enjoy listening to teachings by those who have been living and walking by faith for many years.  Living by faith is not boring as some might think, and opens the doors from a mundane life, to an exciting one where all things become possible because we are not limited by our own human abilities.   In my own life I can sense the difference if I ask the Holy Spirit to open the Word for me before I read.  If I then read it by faith, I am amazed at the wonderful revelation I get.  Also when listening to or atte

Absolute Truth

A lot of people are waiting on God, trusting that He will heal them, deliver them, free them.  The reality, however, is that "you cannot leave up to God what He left up to you".  To understand what that means, you not only have to get into the Word of God and get your mind renewed, but you have to believe that the Bible is the absolute truth and believe it enough to act upon it.  You need to get to a point where you see it as the unfailing Word of God that can be trusted - NO MATTER WHAT! I was listening to an interview with a well-known Evangelist the other day.  He said he was preaching at a conference and was referring to basic Bible principles.  While he was talking, he heard a comment coming from the audience that they didn't believe what he was saying to be true.  He was shocked and asked what they meant, to which they replied that there is a lot in the Bible they don’t believe.  I think that might be indicative of many Christians today.  They say they believe the B

Always Yes and Amen!

I am writing this so I can have notes of what I am learning and so I can be accountable to do what I am seeing in the scriptures.  I am not sharing this to convince anyone, but to show in the scriptures what was written so you can make up your own mind.   What Is Prayer? I am very aware of the fact that anything we do out of habit, can very quickly become a formula.  God is the giver of all good things and it can be so easy to look to the things He gives, rather than to Him and who He is.  Prayer should never be reduced to a shopping list of requests - of things we need or want.   I just recently heard someone say that he asked the Lord to teach him about prayer.  That night he had a dream where he saw himself and the Lord sitting at a table at a street cafe.  They each had a cup of steaming coffee.  There was no conversation, they were just enjoying each other’s company.  Prayer is relationship with God, it is a constant conversation connecting with Him, being close and still enough s
