Word for Today, Wed, 09 Nov 2005: ALL Things...
Posted by: masinick <masinick@...>
Dear friends,
Do you believe that God is able to work all things according to His
purpose, and that His purpose is altogether good? If so, and you are
100% certain that you have a home reserved for you in heaven, then
every single circumstance you go through is ordained by God, allowed
by God, and is all part of God's plan to redeem His people who are
called His Own and prepare them for eternity with Him.
If you are not 100% certain that you have a home reserved for you in
heaven, you can become certain. Read the messages from earlier this
week. Contact me if you want them again, have questions, or you just
are not sure.
Yours in Christ,
Brian

THE UNDETECTED SACREDNESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES
All things work together for good to them that love God.
Romans 8:28
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ro+8:28&sr=1
The circumstances of a saint's life are ordained of God. In the life
of a saint there is no such thing as chance. God by His providence
brings you into circumstances that you cannot understand at all, but
the Spirit of God understands. God is bringing you into places and
among people and into conditions in order that the intercession of
the Spirit in you may take a particular line. Never put your hand in
front of the circumstances and say - I am going to be my own
providence here, I must watch this, and guard that. All your
circumstances are in the hand of God, therefore never think it
strange concerning the circumstances you are in. Your part in
intercessory prayer is not to enter into the agony of intercession,
but to utilize the common-sense circumstances God puts you in, and
the common-sense people He puts you amongst by His providence, to
bring them before God's throne and give the Spirit in you a chance to
intercede for them. In this way God is going to sweep the whole world
with His saints.
Am I making the Holy Spirit's work difficult by being indefinite, or
by trying to do His work for Him? I must do the human side of
intercession, and the human side is the circumstances I am in and the
people I am in contact with. I have to keep my conscious life as a
shrine of the Holy Ghost, then as I bring the different ones before
God, the Holy Spirit makes intercession for them.
Your intercessions can never be mine, and my intercessions can never
be yours, but the Holy Ghost makes intercession in our particular
lives, without which intercession someone will be impoverished.
