By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.
Although we live in this world, we can decide not to live by it’s beliefs and limitations. We have substantial evidence in God’s word that we can alter what seems to be the normal world order by our words, calling forth things as though they were, light out of darkness, life from death and possibilities out of impossibilities.
As believers, we are to live consistently in the reality of God’s word. The word is our life, we are what it says we are, we have what it says we have, we can do what it says we can.
Let’s see a few things the World says and what the Word says:
