Two Realities

Did you know that there are two realities?  Yes, there are.  One is the one in which we live currently; that is the one which we see before our eyes day in and day out.  It's the one that sometimes we dread waking up to each morning.  It is the one that we often see filled with hurts and pains that we would rather avoid.

The other reality is the one that we see through the eyes of faith.  It is most easily seen when viewed through God's eyes.  It is one where all of our God-given hopes and dreams are being made reality, not by our hands but by the hand of God.  This other reality is the one where God designed you and destined you to live.

And did you know that you have the option as to which one you will live in?  Yes, you do.  You can choose to live in the hurt and pain of the one or the life and hope of the other.  It's your choice.  You decide which one you will live in based upon what words you speak.  If you speak death, destruction, and hopelessness you will live there.  If you speak life, wholeness, restoration, and peace you will live there.

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue:

and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.OK...this is the cool part.  Or the scariest part....depends on how you look at it.  You may be living in the reality of a failed marriage or a messed up life.  You desire to have fullness of the God-designed reality to made manifest.  The cool part is that you can be living in one and speaking the other one into existence.  The one that you speak about the most is the one that will begin to take over.  If you speak restoration and peace in the face of hopelessness, you will have restoration and peace.  Sooner or later the one that you believe and speak about will take over.

It doesn't matter what you are experiencing; what you speak is more powerful than what you see.  God made it that way.  That is how He operates.
