1. God did
it. John 1:1-3 "1In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The
same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without
him was not anything made that was made." Not only did Jesus make
everything He also finished the work of salvation on our behalf. John 19:30
"When
Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed
his head, and gave up the ghost."
2.
With
God nothing is impossible. Luke 1: 7,13, 24-27, 31 "And they had
no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well
stricken in years. But the angel said unto him, Fear not,
Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a
son, and thou shalt call his name John. 24And after those days his wife
Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 25Thus hath the Lord
dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach
among men. 26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a
city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 31And, behold,
thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name
JESUS."
3.
God brings good from evil intent,
for those who are faithful to Him. Acts 9:1-6, 15"1And Saul, yet
breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord,
went unto the high priest, 2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the
synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women,
he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3And as he journeyed, he came near
Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4And
he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me? 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am
Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6And
he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the
Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what
thou must do.
15But
the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear
my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:"
4. We can't move forward unless we all go together as one. Acts 2:1-4 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:44 "And all that believed were together, and had all things common;"
5. God
leads His people, giving them everything that they need. Matthew 6:31-33 " 31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the
Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you." Matthew10:9
"Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,10 Nor scrip
for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the
workman is worthy of his meat." Acts
3:6 "Then Peter
said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
6.
God's promises are his enablings John 6:37-40 " 37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I
will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which
hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that
sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 14:1-3 "1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.2 In my
Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go
to prepare a place for you.3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."Acts
2:
21"And
it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall
be saved." Revelation 3: 20 "Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I
will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
7. God
builds up and takes down kings and kingdoms
and even queens. Revelation
17:
14"These
shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord
of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen,
and faithful."Revelation 18: 2,9"And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and
a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 9And the kings
of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her,
shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her
burning,"
8.
God's Word never fails. Revelation
21:1-7" 1And I saw a new heaven and a new
earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was
no more sea.2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God
out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.3And I heard a great
voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he
will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be
with them, and be their God.4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.5And he that sat
upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me,
Write: for these words are true and faithful.6And he said unto me, It is done.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.7He that overcometh shall
inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."
9.
But people do Acts 5:1-10 "1But a certain man
named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2And kept back part
of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and
laid it at the apostles' feet. 3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled
thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the
land? 4Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it
not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou
hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5And Ananias hearing these words fell
down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these
things. 6And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried
him. 7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not
knowing what was done, came in. 8And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether
ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9Then Peter said
unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the
Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door,
and shall carry thee out. 10Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and
yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and,
carrying her forth, buried her by her husband."
10.
Frequently, in doing God's work, our
lives will be endangered, but God will see us through it. Acts 4: 21"So when they
had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might
punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which
was done." Acts 7: 54"When
they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him
with their teeth.55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly
into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of
God, 56And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing
on the right hand of God. 57Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped
their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58And cast him out of the city,
and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's
feet, whose name was Saul. 59And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and
saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60And he kneeled down, and cried with a
loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this,
he fell asleep."Acts 12: 1"Now
about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the
church.2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.3And because he
saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were
the days of unleavened bread.) 4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in
prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him; intending
after Passover to bring him forth to the people. 5Peter therefore was kept in
prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. 6And
when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping
between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door
kept the prison. 7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light
shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up,
saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 8And the
angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And
he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 9And he went
out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the
angel; but thought he saw a vision. 10When they were past the first and the
second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which
opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one
street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. 11And when Peter was come to
himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel,
and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of
the people of the Jews."Acts 14: 19"And
there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the
people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had
been dead. 20Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and
came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe." Revelation 12 17"And the
dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her
seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ."
In
conclusion God did it. With God nothing is
impossible. God's brings good from evil intent,
for those who are faithful to Him.
We can't move forward unless we
all go together as one. God leads His people, giving them everything that
they need. God's
promises are His enablings. God builds up and takes down kings and kingdoms, and even
queens
God's Word never fails, but people do. Frequently in doing God's work our lives
will be endangered, but God will see us through it. The
God who made everything, is capable of anything and faithful in all of His
promises even when we are not and He is able to see us through whatever lies
ahead.
