greater reality

The past and circumstances around us should not define our identities but only the Word of God and the Cross should define us alone. His thinking must replace our thoughts and ideas. God wants to invade our consciousness. He wants a people who will believe His Word and His nature more than their own ideas and opinions when they go out into the streets. His reality must overshadow and destroy ours. His Kingdom must collide with our kingdoms and destroy them! The strongholds of our minds must be pulled down so His realities will be manifested in our lives, cities, nations and campuses! Any thought that is not according to His is a lie and a sin!

Poverty, injustice, prostitution, sickness, ill health, inequality, crime, fear and torment do not exist in heaven. It is our choice to believe what reality is greater - ours or His. God is not a man that He should lie. When He says something, He'll be the one to accomplish what He has spoken. Psalm 138:8 says

8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
Matthew 10:8 - Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a]drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

True church life is called to be like a city that is set on a hill, brightly lit so that it captures the attention of all. It is called to be the great society that is a representation of the kingdom of God on the earth. It is also called to be a beacon of hope for good, truth, healing, redemption, and restoration. It is called to be an irresistible force for righteousness and justice.

Rick Joyner, The Army of God Mobilizes, Part 16
