Chapter 2 seeing God move
I know some days we feel like we cannot see the hand of God in our current circumstances. Seeing promises being fulfilled is something every believer puts their hope in. The number one question is “how do we get God to move.” Most modern day Christians believe that fasting and praying is one way to get God to move. Other Christians believe in the sowing and reaping cycle. While these are very much true. Faith in God is really how you will see The hand of the almighty God. Putting your faith in the one who created you and everything that your heart could ever desire:is the real reason why faith, praise and worship is the real currency in the kingdom of heaven. I mean really if God needed your money would he ask you? If God Was hungry would he tell you? Yes, giving is good and God loves the sweet sacrifices that you have made:but obedience is far greater than sacrifice. God wants us to trust him even
when it doesn’t look like things are changing.
We know that according to
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God , to them who are called according to his purpose.
I
was spending s
ome time in the book of Psalms and reading over the many promises that have been and are currently being fulfilled in psalms 91. We know that 2020 was hard for a lot of people. Some lost loved ones , many lost there jobs and most nearly lost their peace of mind. I know people were wondering “where is God in all of this chaos?” “Or how can God let this go on for so long?” I know I heard some say “this is God’s judgement on the World!” Trust me, what happened in 2020 is equivalent to a water bottle in the ocean when it comes to God’s judgement. God loves us, so if you have made it this far in the book then give him a praise. You have officially seen the hand of God in your life.
Psalms 91:7 says “A thousand shall fall by thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand ;but it shall not come near thee.”
Promise fulfilled , I know that’s really hard to think about when you know and have see so many people crossover: this is another promised out have seen come to pass. If you continue reading,
Psalms 91:8 says “only with thine eyes shall thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.”
I know, I know, not the type of reward you would look forward too. Yet the hand of God again fulfilling his promises. Believe it or not God doesn’t want to see anyone parish. I know you are wondering what makes a person wicked and why was grace and mercy extended to me. At least that’s what you should be wondering:because God has no respect of persons according to
Romans 2:11 “for there is no respect of persons with God”
. So why did God save me, our faith In him , it all leads back to our faith in God. Works is nothing compared to faith. I’m sure you know the scripture
James 2:26 “even so as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.”
Now let’s go in depth to this scripture because I in fact told you fasting and sowing, indeed are works. Sad to say it isn’t how you see the hand of God. Have you ever heard the phase “labor until you enter into rest” this means behold the word of God . Meditate on it day and night , Confess praying over it keeping it hidden in your heart until your resting in the peace of God . Like Jesus
said
before
Matthew 4:4 “ it is written man shall not
live by bread alone ,but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Jesus also said Luke 17:6 “if ye had faith as a grain of a mustard seed, ye might say to this sycamine tree, be thou plucked up by the root , and be thou planted in the sea; and thou shall obey you.”
That kind of work plus your faith is how you see the hand of God.
