I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another
law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into
captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 0 wretched man that I
am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 | thank God—through
Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of
God, but with the flesh the law of sin."

The above scripture describes accurately the "real" world we are born into. It is a
world ruled by satan himself.

In Isaiah 14:12 we read...
"How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down
to the ground, you who weakened the nations!"

Cancer, aids and abortion are real!! Anyone who denies these facts is lying. The
divorce rate in the body of Christ is as high as it is in the "world." That is a reality!
Homosexuals preach the Holy Word of God from our pulpits on Sunday mornings.

That is a reality. Adultery is not uncommon among our brothers and sisters! That is
a reality. Many serve God on Sunday and the gods of this world (money, position,
fame) the rest of the week. These are realities.

My question to you is this... the above is REAL, but is it God's TRUTH?

Know this, we are not natural being leading a supernatural existence, but
supernatural beings leading a natural existence.

Revelation 21:3 substantiates this truth as it describes whose kingdom we are a part
of...

"And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be
with them and be their God"

John 16:33 further states...
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you
will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

Jesus Himself speaks these words in John 10:10
