A SECRET TOOL

Exodus 14:8

The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.
--------------------------------------------
      Many times we pray that God takes away our enemies. We want to live a free life without disturbances. We want to have peace with all people.
The bitter fact is that you cannot have peace with all people . Even though you try your hardest to make peace, there will be people who try in a certain way to bring in a thick atmosphere. They want to see some conflicts and misunderstanding. They want to see rivals.

Even when Jesus was a good man, he still had enemies too. He had people that rejected his message. He still had people that spoke bad against him. He still had people that planned to kill him. Even his closest had one who planned bad things against him.
But we never see anywhere in the bible where he prayed that his enemies should be banished and separated from his presence. He even instead taught us to pray for our enemies.

There is a tool that God used to shape his chosen ones. God used their enemies. The Israelites were no stranger to this phenomenon. They had enemies from their start till now. But we see that in that above scripture, God had a hand in what the enemy was like. God hardened the heart of the enemy so that he could still fight them. But why would God harden the heart of the enemy? I thought He should make all the exodus an easy way. I thought He could clear all obstacles to aid the Israelites to speedily get to the promised land.

That is not how God wants to work. His objective is an end result that supports both you and Him sufficiently. God may harden the hearts of your enemies just to show you a better way to approach situations of crisis. God may let enemies flood into your life just to teach you humility. He wants to teach you patience. He wants to teach you perseverance. He wants you to be better at the end.
It is a tool. God is not fighting against you. He only wants you to learn a wholesome lesson. He is not driving peace from you, He wants your enemies to live longer to see His glory in your life. He wants your enemies to be the true witnesses of your testimony. Quit worrying about your enemies. Pray for them. God is trying you, to see if you can intercede when you have been hurt. Let your enemies flourish and live to see the goodness of the Lord in your life.
    
                    GOD BLESS YOU

POWER THROUGH PATIENCE.

  POWER THROUGH PATIENCE.     _Isaiah 40:29-31_ He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. --------------------------------------------    He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. You think which "weak" are they talking about "any weak"...NO. Not any weak. To those who wait patiently and walk with the Lord.  You cannot get the fullness of God's power if you are not a waiter. You need to be patient.  Patience proves a strong personality in you. It proves that you not just mere man but are a person with an element of "god". You cannot be called true child of God if you don't embrace patience. If you pray, be will to be patient through your prayer life. If you love, be w...

IN-TOUCH

IN-TOUCH   Ephesians 6:18  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. -------------------------------------------- If you had a friend of yours, and it comes to your attention that you have spent 5 years without seeing them nor hearing from them, yet you know where they stay; would you still be friends? Christ rightly said it; "the things of the earth are a reflection of the things of the spirit". The same way you will lose the friendship just by the detouch, is the same way you could lose the relationship you have with your heavenly father if you are not in-touch.  One very important element that links us to the spiritual bodies in higher realms is prayer. Prayer is a way we communicate to God. It is a way through which we reveal ourselves to Jehovah. The true self that you are is best revealed through speaking to the unseen. As I was walking my own...

GLORIES TO COME.

GLORIES TO COME. Revelations 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. -------------------------------------------- In this world, we are like a passing breeze. We are here today, yet we are not tomorrow. There is a world that we a supposed to live in. This world is a testing moment. It is like a test tube. The mighty one is testing each of us to see which world we will earn . Christ in His return to heaven left several promises. And one of them is that He has gone to prepare a house and houses for those that believe. He has gone to prepare the glories of heaven. We are as His children have a night here on earth; the night in which we are the light, but later we will flip over to the lights of the mighty heaven. God in His making has made the earth and heaven a little far different. What is in heaven is incomparable to what is on earth. And what is happening on earth is very different from...
