God’s Tearing Down the Lies

Yesterday as I was finishing my workout at the gym, my eyes got locked onto a defibrillator on the wall. You know, that medical device with paddles to jump-start your heart in an emergency.

The devil is so full of lies. I mean, that’s all he does! He has no power to destroy God, so he lies about His identity. And he does the same with us. He’ll make us think all the wrong things about ourselves and other people. The truth is, God’s moving us into a place of immeasurable truth. There are lies people have believed about us. And there are lies we’ve believed about them. And His desire is to set things straight.

Did you now that the condition of our heart greatly affects our actions, has the power to destroy relationship, and even affects our health? I’m reading a book about the spiritual roots of diseases and 80% of the sickness people experience would disappear if their hearts were freed of things like bitterness and fear. It’s amazing. It all comes down to what we believe in our heart.

So that’s why I’m excited about God’s deFIBrillator. If a FIB is a lie, then a defibrillator in God’s hands is, well, a heavenly device that removes the lies of the heart … so we can live again.
