GOD IS IN EVERY EQUATION

Greetings -
 Be encouraged that GOD is in every aspect of what happens on this great planet earth that He created.  Nobody can trump GOD.  He is untrumpable.  Almighty GOD works to accomplish His plans and He gets things done in most high ways.

The “know” factor with GOD is a place that is unequalled in power.  When we know to the core of our souls that GOD is far above everything, nothing can uproot our solid stance in our Father, the Most High.  The GOD we serve is totally about holy business, and He spends no time in sin.  Certainly we sin, and need to humble ourselves before our Lord in sincere repentance when we do.  Without GOD, we are mere mortals – with Him – we are more than conquerors.  He eternally works to get holy missions accomplished.  He uses willing servants to work with Him for the fruition of Master plans.

For every occurrence, there is evidence of the works of GOD because His word says in Isaiah 45:7 that He makes peace, and creates evil.  1 Samuel 16:14 says, “But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.”  1 Samuel 16:15 says, “And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.”  (Notice, please, in verse 14 that the word “Spirit” is capitalized in one instance and not in the other instance.  And in verse 15, Saul’s servants expressed that the evil spirit was from the Lord.)

When we continually love, obey, and trust GOD, He invests more and more into us because He trusts us increasingly based on our adherence to His perfect will.  Our faith grows exceedingly, and our charity toward each other abounds.  GOD is eternally faithful to His covenant relationship with His holy people.  In such, His covenant is irrevocable.  We are heirs with GOD and joint heirs with JESUS, the Christ.  There is absolute spiritual safety in the everlasting arms of our GOD.  There is nothing that He cannot work for good to those who love Him and to those who are called according to His purposes.

The “know “factor equips us to stand against the wiles of the devil and to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  When Satan assails us with his viciousness, we are armed with the readiness of what the Word of GOD so superbly affirms.  Cruel words and actions are launched against us.  The Word declares that the witness of GOD is greater.  And that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

We possess the greatest words, the greatest power, and the greatest truth - for it abides in us.  GOD’s words live, work, and abide forever and shall never pass away – they are forever settled in heaven.  The words of the devil pale in comparison to the Words that our GOD speaks.  The Words of GOD are Spirit and they are life!

We are more than conquerors, people, through the power of GOD that works within us.  When the enemy shall come in…the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.  Truly GOD works for His predestined purposes.  All that He does is for His sovereign glory. 

We are not orphans, people.  We have a Divine Father who is our Shepherd.  His Word states that His sheep know His voice and a stranger they will not follow.  We are of a royal priesthood, an holy nation – so why do so many Christians (not babes in Christ) operate as a people adrift with forlorn dispositions, weak communications, and lives that contradict what is holy truth?  What does GOD’s Word say?  Is His Word what we habitually say, and do? 

We are not spiritual hobos bowing to the dictates of the heathen persuasion.  We do not belong to Baal so we should continually conduct ourselves as the victorious servants of GOD that we are.  We are to work the Word of GOD – the Holy Bible.  The way to work the Word is to work with GOD as He works to fulfill His agenda.  Say the Word, do the Word, and inhale and exhale the awesome Word of GOD.  Thank our Lord that He equips us to represent as His vessels of honor. 

Why do people hate us? - they hate the GOD that works in us.  If GOD were their father, they would love us (John 8).  Why does Satan oppose us?  That is his job.  He does what he has been destined to do.  He is our enemy and his wicked deeds align with that truth.  Those that disobey GOD and oppose us are appointed to do such (1 Peter 2:8).  As for GOD’s people, His Word states in 1 Thessalonians 3:3, “That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.”  And remember that the Lord informs us to think it not strange when Satan works against us.  GOD steadfastly works effectively to prove that though evil forces fight against vessels of honor, the vessels of dishonor shall NOT prevail!

Why does GOD allow us to be persecuted?  The main reason is because He is GOD and does whatsoever He pleases.  Another crucial reason is for our profit that we may be partakers of His holiness (Hebrews 12:10).  Also, it is about GOD getting honor and glory so that it will be known that He alone is GOD.  Exodus 14:18 states, “And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh,..” 

Satan is increasing his attacks. The more we draw nigh to GOD, the more Satan will oppose us.  He is not going to cease and desist.  He is not going to pity us.  He is not going to stop advancing against the forces of good.  That is why we must have the mind of Christ to be about spiritual revolution.  Satan will not cease until GOD destroys him.  A revival mindset is not enough in this spiritual climate in which we now reside.  Revivals have their place.  Radical holiness needs to be the order of this dispensation.  Revolution is essential to combat the vehement forces of evil that display boldly in this present world.  We are not of this world.  We are kingdom of GOD activated to aid our Lord in the transformation of souls.

GOD chose us to be bold in our witness for Him.  We are to love and pray fervently for unbelievers and live lives that undeniably identify us as true worshippers of GOD.  We must love those who hate us but that does not mean that we are to tolerate their foolishness beyond what GOD instructs.  We are strangers and pilgrims here as we seek a better place with our Father. GOD’s Word instructs us to occupy until He comes.  We are not to occupy in a mode that shrinks from the onslaughts of Satan.  GOD has not given us a spirit of fear.  His Word says that through Him, we shall do valiantly.  The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent taketh by force.  The whole armor of GOD is not negotiable for those who are serious about fighting the good fight of faith.  The Devil can devour anyone that does not keep on the whole armor of GOD.  GOD commands that we keep it on – if we disobey, the Devil has permission to devour.  It is up to us to obey.  GOD is no respecter of persons - He respects holiness.  He is always faithful to His Word whether or not we cooperate because He cannot deny Himself.  GOD and His Word are one!

Does anyone remember the words, “The revolution will not be televised?”  The Lord’s revolution will not be televised in the natural manner of things.  It will be broadcast on levels that will astound the doubters, and thrill GOD’s people.  The forthcoming revolution against the Devil shall result in evil hearts melting in the presence of our awesome GOD.  Knees will tremble upon the move of Almighty GOD in venues and areas that will witness and receive His messages with signs following!  The power and presence of GOD will resound with His Majesty.  In deeds, His holiness will explode in ways that will blaze with His brilliance and sovereignty!  Truly, He will prove that He is the Majesty on High!  Souls will be saved.  People will be sanctified, delivered and made whole in GOD.  Some will persist in their rebellion against GOD.  Woe to them…

The revolution approaches…whose fire cannot be quenched!  GOD FOREVER REIGNS…REJOICE IN HIS HIGHNESS (ISAIAH 13:3). 

Sovereign GOD works wonders - and beyond!
