There’s a nationwide revival going on where young adults are standing up for righteousness. God Almighty is the focus of unashamed Christians that are sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ—Biblical truths to doubters and scoffers of the Bible. There is a supernatural pouring out of answers to unsettled questions to those having doubts whether the Bible is fiction or reality.
One example is regarding the
miracles that took place and the power that was given to Jesus’ disciples to
perform them—true or false? The natural
mind does not receive the things of God because they are spiritually discerned,
thus they are foolishness to those having finite minds that lack spiritual
insight.
There is also a mired of
unexplainable happenings that confound intellectual mindsets that are in
question. The shroud of unbelief,
through the power of witnessing, is being lifted as blinded eyes are opening to
the truth of God’s word.
These ambassadors of vision
who are telling others about the grace of God are truly God’s voice and hands
extended. Their efforts are blessed and anointed
by the Holy Spirit. They are unveiling
God’s amazing plan to those looking for answers and reasons to believe what the
Bible says.
“Is the Bible fiction or
reality?” This unsettled question is
being answered with boldness and compassion, while giving deeper insight that
encourages positive decisions to be made.
Talk about fiction or reality;
I’ve had a soft spot for science fiction movies since early childhood. I watched weekly ‘cliffhanger’ serials on
television that would stoke my imagination and challenge my quest for deeper
insight of things that may happen one day.
Although I knew these series
were fiction, they allowed my mind to soar to higher heights into the
possibilities of the plausible. These
fictional adventures have now become reality, because of mankind’s unstoppable
probing into vast arenas of the unknown and unwavering determination to succeed
where others may have failed.
Today’s astronauts remind me
of my superhero, Flash Gordon, and the crewed flights he took in fictional
rocket ships that traveled into the vacuum of outer space to the moon and
beyond. Sci-fi would have been my ‘cup
of tea’ had I sipped tea at that young age.
These fictional episodes
originated in the minds of hyper-visual writers with imaginations that exceeded
normal thinking. It was like they were
seeing into the future beyond the realm of their own limitations.
Going to the moon was fiction,
a dream and nothing more than a dream, yet fiction became reality on July 20, 1969,
when Neil Armstrong stepped on the surface of the moon, though some people
doubted that it happened.
Plans are now in the making
for a trip to the planet Mars where I believe humans will conquer the barriers
of the unknown and set foot on the red planet for the first time since
creation. This is amazing to me!
No longer are there questions
pertaining to ‘fiction or reality’ in space exploration. Dreams have become reality. The word ‘fiction’ is becoming a meaningless
word as the minds of men and women around the world have conquered and continue
to conquer the vast, once limited bounds that early dreamers and explorers were
reaching for.
These dreamers had to reach
deeply into their science fiction imagination to grasp ongoing visions as they
put on paper what their minds were seeing.
No longer are unbelieving doubters exclaiming, “It cannot be done!”
Ongoing advances in science
and the ingenuity of scientists working together with curious researchers are
uncovering and bringing forth amazing discoveries. These futuristic visionaries are people with ideas. And let us not forget the new horizons of
Artificial Intelligence. Who knows what
the future holds for mankind with AI coming to the forefront?
I have heard my whole life
that the return of Jesus was nigh at hand, but what I understand from Bible
scholars, all prophecies had not yet been fulfilled in my younger years. Through Devine revelation, God revealed to John
the Revelator, on the island of Patmos, future happenings leading up to the end
times that were going to happen. These
visions were chronicled by John in the Book of Revelation.
As time has advanced, these prophecies,
supposed fiction by those who doubted, are now here. They have become reality and not fiction. All prophecies have been fulfilled because of
the advancements in science and oversight of Gods providence, except one prophecy,
the second coming of Jesus, which is positively nigh at hand.
The following is another
question posed to those young adults that are on fire in the Lord by people
seeking truth. “Is heaven and hell
fiction or reality?” Some scoffers would
say the story of heaven and hell was fabricated to keep people from doing wrong
for fear of going to hell, and that heaven was the reward for doing good.
It is important to follow the
laws of the land and live in societies of peace and harmony, if only this were
reality. Look at Cane, the son of Adam
and Eve. Because of jealousy he killed
his brother Abel… (Genesis 4:1-13).
Humanity has been corrupted
because of sin and unbelief that began in the Garden of Eden. The ‘me me’ syndrome that possessed Cane to
do what he did is an ongoing curse because of Adam and Eve’s sin of disobeying
God. Most importantly are the 10
Commandments and keeping the statutes of God, but there again, ‘self’ gets in
the way of doing what’s right before the Lord.
There are those that believe
Jesus was a good man, but not God in human flesh. They ask, “Fiction or reality? Is God the Creator of all things and was Jesus
really God in flesh with blood running through his veins like you and me?”
The bottom line is whether a
person believes it or not. If not, that
person will not worry their mind about heaven and hell because they have been
deceived by Satan to believe a lie and not truth. But what if; what if it is all reality? Then what?
I wonder what they are going to do with this truth.
Many people throughout the
world do not allow their minds to think about heaven or hell. They refuse to entertain thoughts of dying
and the hereafter. They close their
minds to the ‘what if’s’ factor. It’s
like they are sticking their heads in the sand of denial.
Think about it, if there is no
heaven to gain and hell to shun, then Jesus was just a man that died on a cross
for no purpose at all. He meant well,
but gave his life in vain. How far from
the truth is this!? Satan would love for us
to believe it.
Here’s my thought. If people in the world truly believe and have
faith that Jesus is the only way to approach God’s throne, then would they not
live accordingly? I think many are
living in fantasy, fiction and not reality.
They are hoping that their own self-righteousness, good works, and doing
right unto others will someway get them there, if in fact there is a there to
get to… again, doubt.
(Isaiah 64:6), “But we are
all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are like filthy rags; we
all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away, and
there is no one who calls on Your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of
You; for You have hidden Your face from us, and have consumed us because of our
iniquities.”
I believe, through faith,
there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun.
I also believe that God came to earth and took on the form of man, took
upon Himself human flesh, and walked among humanity. He told those that would listen about the
love of God and that He, Himself was the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I do not live in the ‘what if’s’
saga of unbelief. Unbelief will send a
person to hell. This is the fact regarding
fiction and reality. It is unwise to
live in the narrative of fiction, which can be on the same level as death.
Christians, everywhere, are
sharing the reality of Truth, while God is blessing their efforts. The Holy Spirit is drawing doubters and
scoffers to Jesus through the reality of God’s word being taught.
The lost are exclaiming, “I
want Jesus in my life!” They are
surrendering all to the Lord and asking God to forgive their sins. Jesus is now their Savior as they give their
hearts to Him. Thank God for the reality
of the Bible and those who share it.
(Matthew 5:9), “Blessed are
the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
