The War is About What You Believe In, Part 1

What Are Absolutes?

Our everyday lives find structure in the thousands of things we accept as truths, from the numbers we use to the names of colors and textures. There are absolutes in the Bible, and they are constants in the spiritual realm, just as "2+2" is a constant in the physical realm.

Absolutes of God is about the Word of God and its building blocks of truth -- "the first principles of the oracles of God" (Hebrews 5:12) -- which have been forgotten or misplaced.

In our society, we have insisted that diversity is good. In reality, what we have are divisions created by an ignorance of God's definition of truth. The one Authority who can settle all arguments in the controversies that divide us is the Holy Ghost, and we have ignored Him!

God's desire is that the words He spoke become alive in His people so that He is seen in His church. God wants to be visible, not only to His church, but also to the whole world. He wants to see truth believed and lived out in front of the entire world.

Seven Absolutes of God

1. God's will for man is that he be perfect in Christ Jesus.

2. The knowledge of good and evil does not produce godly believers or healthy Christians.

3. The natural man does not receive the things of God.

4. Every believer must know the voice of God.

5. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher sent from God to indwell every believer.

6. Once we repent of our sins, we become His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

7. The Bible was written both historically and spiritually.

The War is About What You Believe In, Part 1

We behave according to what we believe. The devil knows this. He lies to God’s people about God and His Word because he wants us to believe lies. God said the truth will set us free. He also said that He is going to have a bride without spot or wrinkle, a perfected church. The battle line for Christianity in these last days is between truth and lies. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Psalms 2

Acts 4

5	And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6	And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

8	Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9	If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10	Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11	This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

17	But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

Acts 4

19	But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20	For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21	So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

23	And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24	And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25	Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26	The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27	For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28	For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29	And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30	By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31	And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
