All About GOD

GOD'S HIDDEN WILL
Greetings all Theology Group brethren,
Let me present what the Holy Spirit pointed out to me.....that maybe you can pass along during this momentous season.
Luke 19:41:(paraphrased) On what we call Palm Sunday, Jesus is looking over Jerusalem....weeping and lamenting that they just didn't get His message....and missed out on true peace. In addition to that, in the coming future the Roman army would levy total destruction and a heavy loss of life in the city.
Compare Acts 1:8,"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth".
Now, compare in Acts 8:8, "..........And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles".
Resulting in........Jesus' words in Acts 1:8 being fulfilled....as church planting and a missionary movement was begun........
And......the church folks were removed from Jerusalem about 30 years before 600,000 men, women, and children were killed in the wiping out of the city.
While the Christians were being scattered......do you think they were praising and thanking God?.......might there have been some moaning and groaning?.....maybe blaming Satan for this forced exodus?.......doubts?.....faith issues???
Our lesson from all this.......Next time we hear some of the brethren murmuring about church, or questioning God.........we can relate this Scriptural example of how our Heavenly Father accomplishes His will, which doesn't always fit with ours..........
What do you think? Let's hear from you...........

Richard,
I think along the line of your comments...frequently. Our government as it stands today is way off base.
Most probably it started with the last century, the greed that went into the war in Vietnam, a war that the USA lost.
Then roe vs Wade.
Then declaring that we couldn't discipline our children.
Taking discipline away from teachers as they have our children for a third (or more) of their waking hours.
Dismissal of God from our country.
Belief that we can stand without God.
Allowing all kinds of people into our nation to live and work without having documentation that they have a right here.
Welfare for people who don't deserve it. People wanting a free ride from the government and we pick up the tab.
Vote buying.
Lies at the polls.
And let's not forget the electoral college where a president is chosen who might not be the popular candidate. Using our saving for purposes that it wasn't intended for (Social Security).
Latest being that 9/11 is to be left out of history books as though it didn't happen.
Children being able and encouraged to turn in parents if they are disciplined, lying if necessary.
Serving Ritalin to our children as though it were candy. There is nothing that I have mentioned here that isn't addressed in the Word of God. However, we have allowed people to burn up God's Word.
The list is even longer than this where we have gotten off track because we are throwing God out of the country that we love so much.
Is this God's will for us and yet many Christians don't even bother to vote. because they want God Will to reign. That isn't going to happen the way we are doing it.
Our president stopping Nation Day of Prayer at the White House...a place that the citizens of the USA own.
I could keep going but my daughter needs the computer.
Blessings...

Lena J,
Hi Sis, thank you for your words of support.
So many folks think they "have it all together".............sad.
Yes, II Chronicles 7:14.....God's prescription for the USA.........God's effective medicine for so many nations down through the ages. So interesting in the Old Testament - whenever the leaders feared (held in awe and deep respect) God, and the people followed suit, the nations prospered and were blessed.
And then, the opposite is also true...............
Lena J, I just want to say how much I appreciate your prayers in the Prayer Room. I know they are effective, because the Holy Spirit helps you post them.
Thank you.
Grace and Peace to you from the God of II Chronicles 7:14 and His Son.
