To topple the "stronghold of our experiences" we must "let God be found true, though every man be found a liar" (Romans 3:4, NASB). The only One who has a right to shape our lives is Jesus Christ. We must determine to allow nothing and no one to shape us, not even our personal experiences, unless they are consistent with the promises of God. In truth, who is ruling our lives, God or our experiences?
Francis Frangipane, The Three Battlefields
