THE MARVELS OF GRACE (Featured Writer)
SEASON IV (Episode 7)

BELIEVE DETERMINES ACTIONS

What you believe is very important. If you base your life on the belief of negative and false information, then it will affect who you are and what you do. Your life is the sum total of what you have believed up until this point. Too many people have based their life upon the negative information fed to them by parents, siblings, teachers, friends and even preachers. This bad information has led to a life of sorrow and shame.

The first step to a new life is to delete all the old negative thought and injurious actions and begin to upload into your spirit new information based upon the truth of God’s Word. God’s truth about who you are and what your destiny is will set you free from emotional blindness, a spirit of poverty, negative speech and rejection.

This new information will empower you to become a winner and not a quitter. It will give you a new set of eyes for the future and the destiny that awaits you. You will begin to understand that life is not based upon a welfare system. It is not based upon what others can give you but what you can create for yourself as you are willing to embrace the process that will guide you to success.


John Locke said that it is one thing to show a man that he is in an error and another to put him in possession of truth. It is easy to point out people’s faults. They are always so obvious. But this will never change the person. Better to put the truth in their hands. By the power of truth a life will change.

In order to be empowered by the truth you have to understand the difference between facts and truth. Truth is the sum total of the facts. The fact is that you have failed in life. The truth, however, is that you are not a failure. As poet Maya Angelou once wrote, “There’s a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth,”

Far too many Christians allow the facts to obscure the truth. They think that the fact that they are in the midst of a trial means that they have failed. They don’t understand the truth that the road that leads to blessing sometimes – often – goes through valleys and dark places. They don’t understand the truth that right now is your time.

The enemy has a plan to eliminate you and to confuse you with a pile of irrelevant facts. One of the many reasons why he could not kill you is because you had not yet received your promise. Once you have matriculated this “School of Hard Knocks and Spiritual Development,” the truth is the promise given so long will become a reality.

Bishop Noel Jones in his book:”Understanding God’s Timing for Your Life”

Beloved, the fact says that you have failed before, but the truth is you are never a failure. The fact says that what you are going through right now is very hard, but the truth is you need this period to get to and be sustained in the place of glory God has prepared for your destiny. If I were you I’d rather choose to believe the truth of God’s word about my life and ignore the present facts.

Have a liberating weekend!
