Yes. God declares it and it comes to pass. God is our Maker. He is the Creator. He feeds the birds of the air. He clothes the grass of the field. Not one sparrow will fall to the ground without our Father's will.
Right Mark, got ya. If God declares it....... It will come to pass. I will be patience though for now if you have ears to hear.
First do this......................... (
I Mark am a word of God persons only. I never misquote scripture, I never take any scripture out of context. God's word is the most important thing to me, and I will compare line upon line and I am teachable.)
Mat 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your (concern) Father.
God is not commissioning the death of birds. In fact Jesus said he feeds them, so killing them off would be counter productive.
God has mercy on those he has to judge........ Your Quoting Paul concerning Pharaoh and you need to read the whole thing....... God had much long suffering toward Pharaoh before making him an example. Not God's best plan for Pharaoh, but that is what Pharaoh choose.
I want you to understand two things about your Father in Heaven.
1) Not everything that happens is the Will of God.
2) Not everything God has to do is His will.
Eze_33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD,
I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
God takes no pleasure in the death of the Wicked. It is the Wicked that don't turn from their way, don't take the chance given that brings judgment. God has to judge, or more important what God use to protect, he has to let the enemy in.
Judgment brings entrance to Satan.......... That is how it works, you can almost say that Satan does have a purpose outside of being a butt head. It's more of an advanced topic, but Satan gave Paul fits, and crashed Paul's ship, sent a snake to bite Paul and did his best to take Paul out. Satan even stopped Paul from going to Asia though it was the will of God. Paul then turns around and turns over people to Satan for the destruction of the flesh because of Judgment. Not God's best, but if people don't listen and obey God, then Satan can gain access.
I want you to get this straight........... Your Father in Heaven, does not even plan, or enjoy the death of the wicked. That is scripture.
Lam 3:32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
Lam 3:33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
We have a case of Judgment here again. Not God's will, not his plan, not his best, God does not allow the enemy to destroy anyone willingly. Not Judas, not Pharaoh, nobody. It's not his will. Because of his Word, and man being stupid, God has to allow the enemy get a place because God will never break his word and is right in His judgments.
Jesus prayed thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven................ You don't pray that if that was already happening. How God runs Heaven is his same will for us here on Earth. God does not have two different wills for two different places.
Why?
Psa 115:16 The heaven, even
the heavens, are the LORD'S: but
the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Here is the problem........... He Gave the Earth to us, and hence why Jesus prayed thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. We mess things up.
There are two different kinds of Words.................. Pay attention.
2Pe 1:18 And
this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Isa_46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying,
My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
The first Word is what Peter heard with his own ears. He heard God, but Peter said we have a more sure word of prophecy, the Written Word of God from start to finish.
We can get a personal Word from the Lord, and we have the Written Word that declares the end from the Begging. Nothing will change or cause the written Word to be ineffective.
A personal Word from God is also sure, but conditional. It's not the Written Word, but still God laying out His will and plan for someone. Nothing can change that, nothing can stop that and why Paul talked a lot about running his race. God has his plan, his race for everyone. We are the only thing that can get in the way of that.
He told Israel I am taking you to the Promise Land................. Israel said that God brought us out here to get us killed.
God made Saul King............. but Saul would not be fully obedient and hence the Lord repented for Making Saul King...... The Hebrew word for repent in this case means a long sigh of things not working as intended.
God told Eli that his family would be the royal priest forever........... However, Eli was not faithful and God said......
1Sa_2:30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith,
I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever:
but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
the but now was the changed condition on Eli's part. Not God's original plan, but God had enough of Eli.
I can give more examples, but I hope you understand more how God operates and does things.
Blessings.
Mike.
