re:discovering God

God is sovereign. that is indisputable. there is no changing that fact. if He begins something, He will complete it and woe to the hand that attempts to stay His plan. the time is coming when we will see the church return to its former stature. a time when grieving the Holy Spirit will be met with sicknesses and even death. a time when we will have a holy fear of the Lord who is awesome in His might because we will be able to see Him for Who He is. Who is a Terror to those who dare to oppose Him. no, we are not to be His force; we are to be His hands of peace. we need to follow the pattern we see in moses. we are to be leaders. we are to remind Him of His promises. james and john wanted to call fire from heaven to consume the jews. God wanted to do that too. moses reminded the Father of His purposes. not that He needed to be reminded. if He had destroyed them, He would have done no wrong. He is sovereign (remember?). He can do no wrong. He can do nothing that is against His very nature. it is scary to think of the consequences that we could face and could be facing right now if He were to remove His hands of grace and mercy from our lives.

there is, therefore, no more time to live as we once did. we must discover who we truly are in Christ and once that discovery is made, we can never again return to our former ways. once we have crossed the plains of peace, we can never again return to the valleys of war, at least not the way we once approached it. who are we to think that we can deter what He is doing?

for the world-wide renown of His sovereign glory...
