According to God\u2019s mighty grace, we have been given the opportunity to feed our hearts daily with the living Word of God. God is light and in Him there is no darkness! Light of the Word of God illuminates and makes us smarter.\r\n\r\nAll this time, we have been talking about the fact that many voices are trying to rule over our lives \u2013 the voice of our common sense, the voices of feelings, public opinion, and experts, etc. But we found that only God\u2019s Word and His voice brings us to the true life in abundance, and takes us into God\u2019s plans and will. But the Bible says that God\u2019s will and plans for us are good.\r\n
\u201cDo not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what\u00a0God\u2019s will is \u2014 His good, pleasing and perfect will<\/u>.\u201d\u00a0(Romans 12:2)<\/h6>\r\nBut the question is still topical \u2013 what we say and what we believe.\r\n\r\nOften while reading the Bible, we hear ourselves better than we hear God. This is because there are words that we say, and there is Word that He says.\u00a0It is essential what we believe more \u2013 what we say or what God says. Let us look at some expressions that we often use, ad let us see what God says about the same things in His Word.\r\n\r\n*YOU SAY, \u201cIt is not possible!\u201d\r\n\r\n*GOD SAYS, \u201cAll things are possible for God!\u201d\r\n\r\n*Bible verse: Luke 18:27\r\n

\u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and\u00a0you will find rest for your souls<\/u>. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\n*<\/strong>\u00a0YOU SAY, \u201cNo one really loves me.\u201d\r\n\r\n* GOD SAYS, \u201cI love you!\u201d\r\n\r\n* Bible verses: John 3:16, John 3:34.\r\n
\u201cFor God so\u00a0loved<\/u>\u00a0the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n
\u201cFor the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n*\u00a0YOU SAY,\u00a0\u201cI cannot any more.\u201d\r\n\r\n*\u00a0GOD SAYS,\u00a0\u201cMy grace is sufficient for you.\u201d\r\n\r\n*\u00a0Bible verses: 2 Corinthians 12:9; Psalms 92:13-14\r\n
\u201cBut he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you<\/u>, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ\u2019s power may rest on me.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n
\u201cPlanted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.\u00a0They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n*\u00a0YOU SAY,\u00a0\u201cI do not understand what is going on.\u201d\r\n\r\n*\u00a0GOD SAYS,\u00a0\u201cI will guide your steps.\u201d\r\n\r\n*\u00a0Bible verse: Proverbs 3:5-6\r\n
\u201cTrust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and\u00a0He will make your paths straight<\/u>.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n*<\/strong>\u00a0YOU SAY, \u201cI cannot.\u201d\r\n\r\n* GOD SAYS, \u201cYou can do all things in Jesus Christ Who strengthens you!\u201d\r\n\r\n* Bible verse: Philippians 4:13\r\n

\u201cIf we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n

\u201cFor God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\n*<\/strong>\u00a0YOU SAY, \u201cI am always worried and confused.\u201d\r\n\r\n* GOD SAYS, \u201cCast all your anxiety on Me.\u201d\r\n\r\n* Bible verse: 1.P\u0113tera 5:7\r\n
