in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Outlander is our favorite television series which is based on a woman traveling back in time from 1945 to 1743. Times had changed between those two periods of time but some of the older things remain even today. One thing is believing in a lie.
In one episode a woman with a sickly child believed her child had been kidnapped by the fairies. Rather than believe that her child might be dying, she took it to “fairy hill” and laid the child in the “fairy tree” in the hopes the fairies would exchange the fairy child for her own healthy child. We know better, that is just superstition.
These superstitions are still being played out by people today. They take on many forms and they all play out because people would rather live in a fantasy world than face reality. This is not to say that everyone who believes in lies are insane or stupid, perhaps not even gullible, but have no hope that is based on truth.
God has changed me and He is changing me and He will change me again. My hope for that future is not based on a lie, God has kept His promises to me up until now and His promises are where my hope is founded.
O Lord, you will ordain peace for us, for you have indeed done for us all our works.
I know this to be true because I have witnessed it in my life. I have a hope for a future that is promised because God has changed me from what I was into the man I am today. I am a changeling. Not one born of superstition but by the Spirit of God.
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
I am born again and I see the Kingdom.
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
I have entered the Kingdom. Jesus is my King and I am His subject. Do you believe my witness or do you believe I am living a lie?
