Making a New Reality

Wednesday, February 24, 2021

People say, "It's fine to have faith and dreams, but ultimately, you have to be a realist." Well, you don't have to be a realist. In fact, you shouldn't be a realist. We're supposed to be like God, and God isn't a realist. God doesn't just accept things as they are. God doesn't limit Himself by the reality of the world. He made the world. If He were a realist, He would've just looked at the situation and said, "Well there's no light and we just have to accept that fact." Instead He said, "Let there be light!" And there was light. God never just accepts things as they are. He doesn't care how things are. In the same way, if you call yourself a child of God, then you also can't be a realist. You can't be bound by what is real. You're not called to accept the world, you're called to change the world. Whenever you're faced by a situation of darkness, fear, gloom, anger or sin - don't accept it. Say, "Let there be light!" For God is your Father and your Father is no realist.
