We are called to Panic not Peace! Prayer is no longer accepted. Fear is to be yielded to, Christ has abandoned us. We are doomed!
We can live as though the above is true, or be wise and heed the Truth of His unchanging, transforming, ETERNAL Word, and therefore continue about our Father’s business to love Him and love others {Matt 22:37-38}..and seek to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to those who are without hope and God in this world, and stand in the gap and pray for … others! And also to seek to practically love those around us who have a need and whom He has placed us in position to help!-( 1 John 3:16-18)
God is still on His Throne, He is not a figurehead, who has a position but no power, indeed He is Sovereign God in control of all things. {Read Psalm 135:6}
He imparts and calls us to Peace, not Panic.
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”- { John 14:27}
He gives us Wisdom, not Fear…
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”- {James 1:5;} “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.}-{1 Cor 14:33}
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” -{2 Timothy 1:7}
He Gives us Opportunities to advance His Gospel in the circumstances we all find ourselves in –
“…Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. “-{ Phil 1:12}
God has not lost control.
- We are called to peace, not panic!
- Prayer is accepted!
- Fear is not our master or from Him.
- Christ is eternally present with us by His Spirit, and will not abandon us.
- We are not doomed we are eternally secure In Christ… (1 Peter 1:5)
- and we can use our circumstances to love God… love others
- and advance the Saving Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ in the circumstances we find ourselves in…
- BE ABOUT YOUR FATHER’S BUSINESS-( Phil 1:12)
ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU;
You can Pray for others…Pray for opportunities…
In all the conversations… seek to turn the conversation to…. CHRIST and ETERNITY! Comfort the Believers with TRUTH OF CHRIST… lovingly evangelize the lost with the TRUTH OF …CHRIST.
The Thing you are preoccupied with will be manifest in your pursuits and speech.
The Thing that Pre-occupies your THINKING will occupy your TALKING!
Don’t fear the circumstances… but remember to Follow Him who is LORD over the circumstances
CONTINUE, BEING ABOUT YOUR FATHER’S BUSINESS!-
God Bless,
Aidan.
