Lately, I have been seized by a deep concern for those who “keep learning, but are never coming to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7).
How do we come to know the truth? By divorcing our belief in mere facts. Your true spouse is the truth.
Just as Adam knew Eve and gave birth, we too must “KNOW” the truth and give birth to liberty or freedom.
You are an adulterous woman if you marry your heart to facts, for facts are unfaithful and unstable like a prostitute.
Do you know that you have been given a promised land? Yes, yet this land is in consciousness; it’s a state. Once you possess it with spiritual understanding or "feet," it becomes real and yours in the physical world.
With your feet or spiritual understanding, you can possess that land, for such understanding is spiritual vision.
But what is the spiritual vision or understanding you hold about yourself when you see your promised land?
“We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them” (Numbers 13:33).
This is what is hurting my heart. How many children of God come to their promised land, see themselves as grasshoppers in their own eyes, and then project that self-humiliating vision into the eyes of those they see as better than them?
As Paul says, “I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him” (2 Corinthians 11:2).
Neville said, “The man who is conscious of being dumb has declared himself to be dumb” (At Your Command).
To be conscious of something is to hold a certain spiritual understanding or vision of it.
How do you see yourself compared to wealth, opportunities, dreams, and certain associations in this world?
When will you pass the test of the bridegroom to finally espouse the truth that does not change?
Many people are brought to the doorstep of their promised land in business, only to sabotage it because they see what's asked of them as a giant and themselves as grasshoppers.
Some are invited to network in spaces where the caliber of people reflects their greater and future selves, yet they get intimidated and run away.
Years pass, and they keep doing the same thing over and over again—stepping onto their promised land, then running back to Egypt, in slavery to the Pharaoh or the ego in their mind.
They say, “Yes, we are suffering, but at least we are eating.” What a disgraceful and selfish way of living, for while they live this way, a whole generation, starting with their children, falls under the same curse.
Yes, this may be challenging for some to handle, but it’s intentional that I write this way.
I dare you to stop looking at yourself as a grasshopper and using your past as a reason to keep making excuses.
Where do we start, Alain? I'll tell you where. When I started this journey and heard about the truth, I decided to speak like a king.
Scripture says, “The king's word is law. No one can ask him, ‘Why are you doing this?’” (Ecclesiastes 8:4).
I remember having no money in the bank and going to places where thousands of dollars were required to be invested. I would say, “Next week by Friday, I will pay you the full amount.”
This is how you start.
Listen carefully, my people, and listen well. You can’t keep bowing down to the statue of Nebuchadnezzar (facts) and worship it, expecting to see the fourth man appear in the furnace of your challenge at the same time.
All three parts of you—your mind (thoughts), your heart (feelings), and your body (actions and words)—must firmly declare, “But even if He does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up” (Daniel 3:18).
When I learned this truth, I considered all dictates of facts rubbish because “I want to know Christ (truth) and the power of his resurrection” (Philippians 3:10).
Speak the truth.
What is the truth? The truth is what you want; it’s in your heart.
Why would you sacrifice the truth on the altar of facts?
The truth is what you want. It’s in your heart, always.
What’s in your heart? I want a nice and beautiful home.
What’s in your heart? I want a wonderful marriage and a peaceful family.
What’s in your heart? I want to heal and be happy.
What’s in your heart? I want a job with good pay.
When facts come to see how long you will hold onto the truth, what do you do?
You see yourself as a grasshopper, and all prices, requirements, and demands appear like giants.
You run away, quit, stop, shrink, and buy into another lie from the victim self: “I don’t want to bother anyone. I don’t want to take advantage of people.”
These are all lies because no one is telling you any of that except your own mind.
The question is, when will this stop? Whenever you decide.
If you think there will ever be a time when those challenges, those prices to pay, and those tests of your faith will just stop, you are lying to yourself.
You must know that the Red Sea and the walls of Jericho are there to see how much you want what you say you want.
Mary was a virgin when she was told she would conceive and give birth. “Let it be done according to your will” was her answer.
But be aware: When you begin to decree and speak your truth, your Sarah-Ego will laugh.
But quietly and calmly learn to declare, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son” (Genesis 18:10).
If you are not going to at least start being irrational in the eyes of facts, then stop learning this truth about the law of assumption.
Today I command you to stop shaking in your boots before this uncircumcised Goliath of facts and speak like the king that was hidden inside the young shepherd David.
David told Goliath: “You are coming to fight against me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin. But I'm coming against you in the name of the LORD who rules over all. He is the God of the armies of Israel.
He's the one you have dared to fight against” (1 Samuel 17:45).
Goliath saw a young boy in David; David saw himself as God and believed this is WHO
Goliath was about to deal with. It’s all about your identity shifting.
Wake up!
