    We secretly believe that God has made many mistakes

    And that is . . . a lie!

    There is a lie out in the universe,
        and in your heart,
        and mine.
                A lie . . . about God.

    It is an enormous lie, an on-going lie.
        And this lie is the basis of sin -
            this lie about God.

    Healing comes when we refuse the Lie and accept the life God has given us. Only then will we truly discover the life God has given us.

    God is not a man that He should lie.   Numbers 23:19

    In this teaching, Martha explores how the enemy works through life’s events to cause us to draw conclusions about God:  that He lies, that He is not good, and that He withholds what we need.

      Introduction

      I want to ask you to have a special attentiveness and hearing to this passage . . .
      like you have never heard it before.

      Romans 1:18-21 New International Version
      “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all
      godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their
      wickedness . . . (and this is what I want you to hear) since what may be known
      about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

      For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities -
      His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen,
      being understood by what has been made,
      so that men are without excuse.

      For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God
      nor gave thanks . . . but their thinking became futile
      and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

      God has made clear who He is.

      From His perspective who He is, is obvious . . .
                    if you just look at what He has made.

      We have a thousand excuses, but God says we are without excuse
      for not knowing who He is - both His power and His divine nature.

      Romans 9:20-21 Amplified Bible
      But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict
      and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it,
      "Why have you made me thus?" Has the potter no right over the clay,
      to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty
      and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial,
      ignoble and dishonorable use?

      Isaiah 29:16b
      Shall the thing that is made say of its maker,
      "He did not make me"?
      Or the thing that is formed say of him who formed it,
      "He has no understanding"?

      Your life is an expression of your idea of God.
      Notice I didn’t say, “Your idea is an expression of God.”
      I said, “Your life is an expression - of your idea - of God.”

      You are living out,
      and living by,
      and expressing,
      and manifesting,
      and creating . . . your concept of God.

      You are like who you think He is.
      You are just exactly like who you think He is.
      So it is crucial that who you think He is, be the right perception.

      We have romantic illusions about God. We take away the dark side.
      I heard someone do it today. He said, “God doesn’t judge.”

      God has a mysterious dark side, and if we have a romantic illusion
      about God, we can take out . . . what we don’t like. 
                   And then some of us have unworthy ideas of God.

      A. W. Tozer said:  “Idolatry is having ideas about God
                                   that are not worthy of Him.”

      Oswald Chambers said: 
           “After the amazing delight and liberty of realizing what Jesus Christ does,
                    comes the impenetrable darkness of realizing who He is.”

      After realizing what He does . . . 
          comes the impenetrable darkness of finding out who He is.

      Review from T.H.

      Newnan, GA USA

      The Great Lie is foundational! Not just to me, but to what God is doing in the body of Christ at this moment, I sense.

      Review from S.C.

      Fayetteville, GA USA

      Without this booklet I would have never seen how much I have bought into the GREAT LIE; I bought into it hook, line and sinker, as the saying goes. Martha’s great anointing of truth and God’s perspective have given me courage and hope that this great repentance of not accepting my life will bring me into my life with the great burning desire to seek His will.

      Review from M.S.

      Fayetteville, GA USA

      I can’t say enough about this booklet and teaching. It has transformed my life and I have true God-given joy in my life for what seems to be the first time in my life. This booklet is so foundational and is missing in Christianity and in the lives of those who so desperately need it to be free. I pray that this booklet will spread like wildfire.

      Review from J.A.R.

      Dodge City, KS USA

      It ministered to me. It brought much needed insight. I repented as I read. If I could sum up how The Great Lie has impacted me . . . what I felt in the depths of my being was utter relief. I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

      Review from L.S.

      Kingman, AZ USA

      First and foremost, EVERYTHING Martha teaches takes me deeper with the Lord. [So] yes, Martha’s booklet, The Great Lie, has impacted my life. It has caused me to look closer at my life and to ask the Lord if I believe “the Lie.”

      Review from D.L.

      Hampton, GA USA

      Wow! It is such a treasure – so much truth, so much wisdom in a little package, a sword that cuts through and through and really so practical. It’s like reading my life story. It is also such a joy to give this booklet to someone else, someone who might not read a book but would take the time to read this small but powerful booklet.

      Review from L.T.

      Royal Oaks, MI USA

      God has been moving in me through this unassuming looking little booklet. The sword of the Lord came from that vessel. It came with two edges bringing repentance and acceptance. No, actually acceptance came before the repentance. Acceptance that I believed the lie, acceptance of the fact that my rebellion has been so complete and so deep, acceptance of God as God, acceptance of my life and circumstances as His choice. Repentance has come alongside the revelation. Relief at knowing the truth, refreshing, washing, healing, restoration have also come. I am humbled again as I recall how I have so often kicked against the Goads. Forgive my poor attempts at trying to explain - these seem like such general and trite terms but the light and Life that has come has been real. He is so good and I know He's not done with this yet as I've been keeping the booklet in my purse and going back to it when I can. Each time it seems like I see something new.

      Review from K.K.

      Carlisle, PA USA

      A couple of years ago I purchased the Knowing God CD series and would have to say out of all of Martha's wonderful teachings that it impacted me the most. I think when we come to this revelation in our minds it brings such peace and understanding. I am so thankful that this is now in booklet format and I can share it with others. Thank you so much for allowing God to work in and through all of you at Shulamite Ministries.
