Truth vs Facts

A key distinction in Way of Fire theology: Truth always trumps facts.

Two Kinds of Knowledge​

Sense Knowledge (Facts)​

What your five senses tell you:

  • "The bank account is empty."
  • "The X-ray shows a tumor."
  • "My body hurts."
  • "The doctor says I'm terminal."

This is real. It exists. But it's temporary and subject to change.

Revelation Knowledge (Truth)​

What God's Word says is true:

  • "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory" (Philippians 4:19)
  • "By His stripes ye were healed" (1 Peter 2:24)
  • "No weapon formed against thee shall prosper" (Isaiah 54:17)
  • "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD" (Psalm 118:17)

This is also real—and MORE real because it's eternal.

Truth Is Higher Than Facts​

When you declare "I am healed" while still feeling pain, you're not lying or denying reality. You're:

  • Prioritizing revelation knowledge over sense knowledge
  • Speaking the legal spiritual truth to supersede the temporary physical fact
  • Calling things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17)

This is exactly how God operates. He called Abraham "Father of Many Nations" before he had a single child.

Apostle Delmar's Mother​

When Apostle Delmar's mother had a double brain stroke—both sides bleeding—the doctor said: "No one survives this condition. Prepare yourself."

Apostle Delmar paused. He needed his first words to be right. Then he spoke:

"My mother will not die. She will live and not die and declare the goodness of the Lord!"

The doctor pointed to the scans. "Sir, look at this. Look at the bleed. Both sides of the brain."

Apostle responded: "Yeah, and I'm speaking truth. And truth always trumps facts."

His mother lived another 12 years.

How This Works Practically​

  1. Acknowledge the fact exists — You're not pretending symptoms don't exist
  2. Deny its right to remain — The fact is temporary; truth is eternal
  3. Speak the truth — Declare what God's Word says
  4. Don't waver — Keep confessing truth until it manifests

Common Mistakes​

Mistake 1: Denying Facts Exist​

You're not supposed to pretend you don't feel pain or that the diagnosis doesn't exist. You acknowledge the fact while speaking a higher truth.

Mistake 2: Agreeing with Facts Over Truth​

When you say "I guess I'm just always going to be sick" or "The doctors said I'll never recover," you're agreeing with facts and giving them authority over God's truth.

Mistake 3: Giving Up When Facts Don't Immediately Change​

There may be a gap between declaring truth and seeing it manifest. Daniel declared for 21 days before breakthrough came. Persistence is required.

The Heart-to-Mouth Connection​

This principle works through faith declarations:

"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." — Romans 10:10

What you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth shapes reality. Speak truth, not facts.
