REMEMBER THIS, THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS TRY, BUT GOD'S ULTIMATE PURPOSE IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL !

11/28/2020

Do you wonder at times if God is in Control ? I always assumed that He moved in control of everything. I’m sure that you have heard people say that “God is in Control” ! Then, ….why do bad things happen to good people ? Why does it feel like things are out of control and headed into difficult and perhaps “Scary” times. Where are you God ? Well, the truth is that God has given mankind free will, and judging by some of the decisions that mankind has made throughout history, God definitely surrendered control in the short run. Imagine God giving Moses the Ten Commandments, and instruction on exactly how He wanted the Israelites to worship Him, and there they were, having Aaron the high priest form a golden calf that they thought represented “Their God" !” (Exodus 31-32). God had just given Moses the instruction for worship, in fact had invited the people to come and hear His voice, but they sent Moses….because they were fearful ? Didn’t want the responsibility to actually do what God commanded ? Or, couldn’t move past their need for self control and iniquity.

IN THEIR HEARTS HUMANS PLAN THEIR COURSE, BUT THE LORD ESTABLISHES THEIR STEPS. Proverbs 16:9

SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND, CALL ON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR. LET THE WICKED FORSAKE THEIR WAYS AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS THEIR THOUGHTS. LET THEM TURN TO THE LORD, AND HE WILL HAVE MERCY UPON THEM, AND TO OUR GOD, FOR HE WILL FREELY PARDON. Isaiah 55: 6-7

Does it seem amazing to you that the Israelites would fall away from God just after He had brought them out of Egypt and parted the Red Sea, delivering them into “Freedom” from slavery and pharaoh ? Were they ungrateful ? Were they ignorant and selfish ? Were they so focused on their own circumstances and needs that they failed to trust God with their future and their lives ? Ponder it, and take a moment to reflect on your life and where you are. Now, take a look at our world today. I have, and honestly, I do not like what I see. I see a world which has spent a lot of time trying to embrace a Utopian plan that powerful men and women think is such a good thing for the world, but they do not have an understanding of “God’s Instructions”, nor do they care about His Will”. Here my brothers and sisters is the TRUTH ! GOD HAS BUILT A FOUNDATION OF TRUTH, AND HIS PURPOSE WILL ALWAYS OVERCOME THE WORLD ! Our God is a powerful and loving God who will always have the patience to bring as many to His Kingdom as possible. But HIs patience will end, and surely His final plan will be made clear and His Wrath and Righteous Judgement will be made manifest.

MANY ARE THE PLANS IN THE MIND OF A MAN, BUT IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LORD THAT WILL STAND. Proverbs 19:21

IN HIM WE HAVE OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, HAVING BEEN PREDESTINED ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE OF HIM WHO WORKS ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE COUNSEL OF HIS WILL. Ephesians 1:11

BUT FOR THIS PURPOSE I HAVE RAISED YOU UP, TO SHOW YOU MY POWER, SO THAT MY NAME MAY BE PROCLAIMED IN ALL THE EARTH. Exodus 9:16

Cover 19, Political elections, Persecution, Wars, Hate, Lies…. God has seen it all and watched it for a long time. Throughout history, mankind has exerted will and iniquity to shamelessly harass and enslave and hurt each other. I am not living in fear. I am not without hope. Our God has a master plan, Read His Word, and prepare yourself for all He has purposed for you ! Give your life to Jesus, Repent from your sins and weakness, and become alive in the promise of Rebirth and Resurrection. Find it, seek it, and Live It ! His promise is to be OUR KING AND SAVIOR AND LORD. In your heart find out His purpose for you, and spend every moment securing it in a personal relationship that allows you to obey Him and surrender your life to the God who created you and loves you. How ? Ask Him from the depth of your heart :) He is waiting ! Have faith, step out, and believe Him. Be All In/JAA

SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOES OUT FROM MY MOUTH; IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME EMPTY, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PURPOSE, AND SHALL SUCEED IN THE THING FOR WHICH I SENT IT. Isaiah 55:11

“I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE THINGS , SO THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE. BUT TAKE HEART ! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD”. John 16:33

Praise and Thanks Be to God !
