“Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
‘Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.” (Psalm 46:8-11 NASB1995)


God is In Control!

Our God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – is fully sovereign over all he created. There is nothing that any human can do to thwart God’s will and his purposes. But, yes, God allowed Lucifer (Satan, the devil) to exist, fully knowing that he would tempt Eve to sin against God, and that Adam would follow suit. And God knew that he would then ban Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, and that all humankind, from that moment forward, would be born with sin natures, in the image of Adam, except for Jesus.

Jesus Christ was the only exception, because he was not conceived of man, but of the Spirit of God. And since he is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – when he lived on the earth he was fully God, yet fully human (God incarnate). So he was not born into sin like we are, and when he lived on the earth he never sinned against God the Father.

But no human can do anything beyond what God allows. For God sets limits on what he will allow and on what he will not allow. And he can, in his power, stop anyone or anything whenever he chooses that it is the right time to do so. But he allows evil to exist for a time, and he allows evil people to do evil things, even to those who belong to the Lord. And Jesus promised us that if we follow and obey him with our lives that we will be hated and persecuted as he was for our walks of faith, and for our testimonies for his gospel.

But we don’t have to fear other humans and what they might do to us, because God is in control. We don’t have to fear difficult circumstances, trials, and tribulations, which God also promised would take place. And if we die, we will be with our Lord, provided that our faith in him is biblical faith which results in us denying self, dying to sin, and walking in obedience to our Lord’s commands, in practice, by the Spirit, in the power of God. For he promised that difficult days are yet ahead of us.

An Observation

Now I am going to make an observation as to the present state of my nation, the USA. What I am seeing and hearing sounds just like what the US government and military have done in nation after nation for as long as I can recall. First they create a situation in another nation, or in our nation which then opens the door for them to go into other nations, and then they come in as the “saviors” to rectify the situation with a pre-planned solution to their “problem.” And then they form “transitional” governments, basically under the New World Order. And non-compliance is made an example of.

And, again, this is a personal observation, and not a declaration, but it fits the modus operandi they have been using to take over other nations for many years. And now, in the USA, we are having riots, and our president has called in the National Guard, I believe, and now people are planning statewide protests on June 14th, from what I have read, which are protests against our sitting president who appears to have made himself “King”, perhaps king of the world, by some people’s perspectives.

And this fits with the M.O. that the US government and military have used repeatedly to take over the control of other nations and to bring them under the rule of the New World Order. Personally, I believe the USA is already under the control of the New World Order, and I believe our present president’s presidency has been moving us even more in that direction. And soon we might be seeing even more evidence that this is what is taking place in the USA and that we are no longer an independent nation.

But if not now, it is what is inevitable, because the Bible tells us that what is coming is this rule of the beast. And I believe we are seeing some moves that direction in decisions which are being made for the people of this nation. And I don’t believe that our government is working on behalf of the people of this nation but on behalf of the rich and powerful of the world who are the ones truly running the world and “calling all the shots,” i.e. making all the decisions as to what happens to whom and when and where.

BUT.. God is absolutely sovereign over all nations and peoples, and nothing can happen but what he allows it, and he allows it for a purpose. And I believe his main purpose is to revive his idolatrous and adulterous church and to bring the wanderers back to the Lord to surrender their lives now fully to him, to doing his will and purpose for their lives, in dying to sin and to walking in obedience to his commands, by the Spirit, in the power of God, as we all cooperate fully with God’s will and purpose for our lives.

Seek the Lord

Based off Isaiah 55


“Come to Me all you who thirst; come to waters.
Listen to Me, and eat what’s good today,
And your soul will delight in richest of fare.
Give ear to Me, and you will live.
I have made an eternal covenant with you.
Wash in the blood of the Lamb.”

Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him.
Let the wicked forsake his way, in truth.
Let him turn to the Lord, and he will receive mercy.
Freely, God pardons him.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,”
declares the Lord, our God.

“My word that goes out of My mouth is truthful.
It will not return to Me unfulfilled.
My word will accomplish all that I desire,
And achieve the goal I intend.
You will go in joy and be led forth in peace.
The mountains will burst into song… before you,
And all of the trees clap their hands.”
