There is a fierce battle over defining reality in your life. The devil says, “Get real. This is the way it is.” Jesus says, “He’s a liar. Let Me show you ultimate reality which trumps him.” See previous post.
Truth = reality. The New Testament word truth is aletheia: truth, reality, the unveiled reality lying at the basis of and agreeing with the manifested (Spiros Zodhiates, The Complete Word Study Dictionary, New Testament).
What about you? How is the battle going? Who or what is going to define reality for you? Humans? Circumstances? Environment? Personal history? Fear?
ULTIMATE TRUTH-REALITY is found in the heart and mind of the Creator. God was envisioning you and thinking thoughts about you before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1.4, Ps. 139.13-18)! Now, a lot has happened since the world was created. But Christ has come to restore everything. In Christ, you are re-connected to the heart and mind of God in eternity past. Christ links you to TRUTH-REALITY.
It’s a process that begins now through the born-again experience and unfolds as we walk with Christ. It will carry through and continue unfolding in the new heavens and new earth.
For His glory and purpose, call upon the heart and mind of God for you to be progressively manifested. Everything else that presents itself to you as “reality” is to be refused. Lock it out of your mind and heart. Open up exclusively to the heart and mind of God.
