Good morning,
I hope it is okay with you that I post twice this week. This has been a message so beautiful to me and so heavy on my heart to share, that I believe it honors God to share this with you today.
The Bible talks about the appointed time of life – and now is the appointed time to receive all God has for us to know and believe about who God is; and about all He is doing in this earth for His glory to be seen by all – angels in heaven, fallen angels on earth and people, both saved and unsaved, God is doing something we need to understand began before God made man!
Yes, you have a purpose! You are made by God to show up the devil. Too much too soon? Surely, we can know God if we seek Him. This is what God is revealing to me and I have waited 20 years to share some of this; and about 7 years to share the rest. I know a couple of people walked away from trusting me on social media, but that was all a part of God’s plan too. Everything is in God’s appointed time to both know and come to understand.
Years ago I shared this question, to honor who God is. It’s not God who is doing the bad things in this world, and now I know why God is allowing sin to continue a little while longer.
I might not get this out right, but if we each just go to the Lord and ask Him for understanding, we will each get what the Lord knows we can handle in our understanding. I just hope this encourages you in your purpose of why God wants you here on this earth for such a time as this.
I truly believe Jesus will come quickly, as soon after all God’s will is done on this earth as it is in Heaven. And I truly believe this is good news for all who will trust in Jesus! There is more and greater things coming for those of us who will place our hope and trust in Jesus.
And there is one more thing God is showing me.
In summary, I have often wondered the process of this creation – and why God put the devil down here with us. I had it backwards! God didn’t put the devil down here with us – God sentenced the devil here for a time after God evicted him out of heaven. The earth was dark and no life in it when God sentenced Satan to a time on earth.
God wanted to demonstrate His power to all! God is not prideful, God in His great mercy, is allowing us; and the angels in heaven to see how Great our God is!
Show time! God said, let there be light & God made all sorts of life to live on this earth as God made everything beautiful right in the presence of His enemies and the angels in heaven saw it too! T H E N, God made man!!!
Check this out! Satan was listening and heard God G I V E man the dominion over the earth and everything in it!!!! What a slap in the enemy’s face – God made man a little lower than the angels and gave man the power over it all!
Okay, you know this part, Satan wanted the power, so he tricked Eve and Adam and Eve gave that authority to the enemy. Okay, hold on; so why didn’t God just take it back right then? See? Because God is God and he cannot take back what he gave, God is a God of His word. And, the very thing that gave that power away was what God would not participate in – negotiating with a created being.
The fall was pride and self-reliance. See? has God made us so nice? has God blessed us so much that we don’t need God anymore? the thought that they could make it on their own … So, it was the knowledge to be like God – the desire to be their own god that caused man to walk away from needing God to be over their life.
Did I say that just right? The idea of we are self-sufficient, and morally independent is very old; and very dangerous. To think we are who we are and where we are because of our self is the thinking of the devil.
God has no opposite
We can’t compare created beings to God
So God will not worship a created being and compete for power. God is the source of all things – and before I forget, God is so kind, and patient and merciful and good, that he makes HIS sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and … well let’s go to the word:
‘that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?
do not even the publicans the same? ‘
Matthew 5:45-46
God created man to be the opposition to evil – God’s mercy; he is not willing any man should perish – Our purpose is to go above and beyond what people like to do in this world.
To Love your enemy – we must depend on God to do this effectively that it’s a light for the glory of the Lord.
To see the Fruit of the Spirit of God in this world, it is helpful to know that we are in a spiritual fight that begun before God made man. And God made man to show His glory.
I am struggling to get this all out, only because I want to pour it all out in a moment, say to all, get it, lap it up and experience the glory of the Lord!
But I know God enough that all things come in His Time. Everything belongs to God.
I am just grateful to be a part of life with God! That is to God’s Glory!
I will leave you with what I had written earlier, and we can read it together. It will be for God’s purposes as we receive any portion today that God wants us to know.
Thanks for hanging in there with me!
We all need Jesus – The man God made for man to reclaim what man gave away.
Man’s relationship with God.
This is what Satan lost too.
The power of man WITH God verses man without God is somthing to consider ….
Peace keeps our minds and our hearts near to God.
To know Peace that transcends all understanding … The Bible says, Wisdom is the principal thing to seek and receive from Heaven above, and in our getting, get understanding.
Jesus is the man, who come in the flesh as a human, just like us. He succeeded!!! Jesus Christ, Savior and LORD, who is the Christ, and Jesus is the LORD over life & death!! I choose to surrender to God with this authority and walk with God & trust and depend on God and never give place to the enemy in my life – as far as it depends on me; and by the Lord Jesus helping me by the Holy Spirit of God….
Remember John 16: 13.
‘Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. ‘
John 16:13
God, I humble myself this day to say, I need you Jesus and thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is my Lord over my life.
Who is over your life?
over is a powerful word … what are some of your thoughts?
Where is it written, the meek shall inherit the earth?
The devil really doesn’t like that!
‘He saith unto them,
But whom say ye that I am? ‘
Matthew 16:15
Every moment Jesus is delayed from returning is a moment someone comes to faith in Him – Luke 13:6-9
Why does God allow sin and evil still to exist for a little while longer?
Why do bad things happen to good people?
God is doing something bigger than we see & was already begun since before God made man!!!
God made angels too!
When the devil fell, he did not fall alone. Scripture tells us that he took one-third of the angels (Revelation 12:4).
God evicted them & sentenced them to earth with no life!
Then God, said Let there be light, instilled birds and animals & fish into this earth & made it an original place for the angels to see the glory of the LORD!
Have you ever wondered how an angel could make a decision to follow another angel & walk out on God? I have! But the Lord is showing me that, apparently the angels in Heaven still need to see the glory of God!
According to the King James Version of the Bible, the closest passage to this concept is found in 1 Peter 1:12, which states that “which things the angels desire to look into,” essentially conveying that even angels are eager to understand the mysteries of God’s plan unfolding on Earth, particularly regarding the Gospel message.
What is the verse of today?
What is man?????
God made man a little lower than the angles and gave man authority over this planet. Satan wanted the power! So you know the story, Satan tricked Adam and Eve (“Did God really say…?) & man gave the authority God gave man to Satan.
not back to satan – man gave the authority that God gave to man to Satan.
But wait! God has NO opposite! God made another man (JESUS)to take that authority back!
God
has
NO
opposite!
– just an unworthy OPPONIENT
- FOR a little while longer.
God made another man (JESUS)to take that authority God orignially gave to man back!
See? God has no opposite! God sentenced fallen angels to watch man rule over him! God made a lesser power (man, with no angelic power) to rule over all the earth, including spiritual fallen beings! Yes, there are angels among us, both fallen & elect; and there are people among us, both saved and unsaved & that is why we are here.
God is a God of His Word! And God could not take the authority back from Satan after man gave it away, because that would mean God would have to go back on His word, which God cannot take back His Word: but He made a 2nd man, JESUS, who finished this once for all. Trust in HIM- not self-reliance & walk in your God given authority today!
The point is, God is demonstrating to everyone watching the game, God’s glory!.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God who said on the cross, “It is finished”
When you receive this, you will never be the same!
NOW, let’s throw some TD passes and run through the line in the presence of our enemy, because GRACE is life in action demonstrating to the world, Greater is HE who is in us THAN he that is in the world, and God is doing it on the enemy’s home field!
‘Thou preparest a table
before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. ‘
Psalm 23:5
Jesus is coming soon … after, God says now is the appointed time.
Let’s be ready and have our lamp filled with the Holy Ghost power!
I hope this is a blessing as it has been to me.
Forgive any edits from human error, I just pray you receive a morsel more than you already have in the living Lord!
JESUS WINS!
Don’t deny him before you know him.
I believe being fully known is the essence of true and perfect love.
You can start today: You have purpose; and we are here as a part of God’s greater purpose – His Kingdom plan! You can have a personal relationship with God. Invite Jesus Christ into your life. Experience God’s transformational power and discover direction and purpose as you uncover His divine plan for your journey.
If that’s what you are looking for, say this prayer with me, but just mean it for yourself.
Heavenly Father, I come before you now, recognizing that I am a sinner in need of your grace and forgiveness. I believe Jeus Christ is Your Son, that he died on a cross for my sins, and rose again. I invite Jesus into my life today, and I ask Him to come and be my savior and Lord. I surrender my life to You and ask that you take control. Help me follow Your teachings and live according to Your will …In Jesus’ Name, I pray, amen.
Once again, I commit this to God. I place this into God’s Hand, and I won’t take it out of His Hand. Lord use this for your glory, I pray.
Love in Christ,
Karen
