The word of God is real. (Reality) I'm not crazy or out of sync with life by believing that I can choose to be happy despite my circumstances. I read the word of God and make a LOGICAL decision to follow it's advice.
It works great. I've seen it work. I have power in me to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, and I've seen it work. Satan has no authority over me and I can have joy through my Lord.
This is opposed to the world's viewpoints on "only human". I am more than a conqueror and I shall not be moved. God loves me without reservation and He shows me that every day. My reality is that I have a loving Father who is perfect in every way and knows how to show it.
My senses don't dictate my reality. They can be manipulated. Your feelings can be wrong and you don't even know it. If you found out your mother died and the feelings of shock, despair, fear, and anger settled in you would probably have a bad day. But what if at the end of the day your mom called you and said it was a joke. That she hadn't died? You'd then be angry, but aside from that, the feelings you had were based off of incorrect knowledge so you made incorrect judgments.
Philippians 1:9 says that love abounds through knowledge and judgment. I pray your knowledge comes from the word of God and not other sources. Then your love will abound more and more and more. Because without love motivating your life, it is all vain. ALL vain. Read 1 Cor. 13 and find out how important love is and then relate it to how God loves you.
His love for you is not vain. Coincidentally, He did give His body for you so you may be restored, healed, perfect, of a sound mind. Trust in Jesus as Lord and your REAL life can begin.
