Growth What Does The Creator of all things Do?

Why do we look to man’s hands and his limited and unbelieving knowledge to:
Heal our lands and bring peace?
Or to tell us what the weather will be, as if we sit helpless?
Or to do something to get more or less water to our crops, such as in drought or flooding?
Or to just help shovel the snows and bare with the cold weather from freezing our crops, fruit trees?
Or any other thing that we need for a prosperous and peaceful life?
Where is OUR faith in God?
Is it not our God who controls the weather? Is it not God who has told us how to bring peace to the world through His Son?
Is it not God who manages the storehouse of the hail, rain, snow that He can dump on us in time of punishment , IN His mercy, to get us to look up and repent from our forgetting Him, to maybe save some?
Isn’t He the One who brings showers for our plant life to grow, and for us to drink, for the animals to drink and wash, flowers, trees, rivers, lakes, oceans?
How simple and without cost is it to seek God instead of ungodly men who only want money and can not fix anything when it comes to these things
Isn’t if our Creator who makes the deserts into oasis’ and oasis’ nto deserts at the Breath of His Word?
Why do we continue to look to man‘s hand, who is limited in their ability to change anything when it comes to true help in our life, and let us turn to the Living God who all things are possible and who controls these things?
Where is our faith? Faith without works is dead faith. If we keep seeking man to help us, we shall never see the great Mercy of God for all the things that are now coming on the earth,. Because few are looking up recognizing our God and asking Him for relief from them.
They still continue on, trying to come up with schemes to get around Him and His mighty works when all they need to do is repent, ask Him to give or take away, to trust in God who is able, not man who is helpless.
When in droubt Pray! When in times of flooding Pray! In times of mounds of snow, pray!
When disaster and plagues come, repent and Pray! For this is how our Creator lets us know we are walking contrary to Him. He does not come down and sit at a booth for us to come and give our complaints or hand out judgments. He is Spirit and His works come in the form of things in the earth and the heavens for His signals and signs to us He uses His stars and sun and moon, and He sent us His Word in the Son, to show us example and also giving us a more sure Word from Him.

We must not forget that God is not a man like us, but He works through His whole creation. The Bible is full of showing us His mighty works, the plaques, the earthquakes, flood, withholding the rain, insects, animals etc… Even His man to bring wrath or blessing. But never do we go to ungodly man for our needs or help for ungodly man has strings attached for repayment in ungodly ways sometimes., We go to God and He will send the man to you in some way. Surely we should see and understand whom we must look to in time of need and who is in Control of His earth and all Creation? Satan may control willing hearted men, but the Earth is the LORD’S and the fullness there of…What He says and does, goes in His household! To fear the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

KJV
 
James 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
KJV
 
4afaithfulone,
Hello Sis,
I agree with you here more then I could possibly say.
If Christian Believers would get back to basics ( the written word of God ) and be united together in one accord we could make drastic and ever lasting changes in this day and age. That is all it is going to take to move God for He is always watching over His word and when His children speak and pray His word He is authorised and able to act on behalf of it.

This stuff of just saying what ever you want and bad mouthing everything and giving first place to the tv man has got to stop now. God and His word should be the First place in a believer and the Last place in a believers life and confession and beliefs or Faith. These religious beliefs that have been passed down generation after generation with in the body of Christ has crippled and limited the church.

Why can't we get back to what He has already given us to use and use it. Such as the following.....
2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT
Then if MY people who are called by MY name will HUMBLE them selves and pray and seek MY Face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land
.

This is a promise from God which is as VALID TODAY as it was when it was written.
If we as His children would grow up and stop all this foolish denomination and doctrine fights and get back to basics...One God, One Savior, One Comforter which means ONE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD. We could actually be doing what His word says and not fighting over who is right and who is best.

I could simply keep going on and on with this for it is where my heart is. Scripture says where a mans heart is, there he is also.
Thank You again for all your time and effort
Have a very Blessed and Peaceful God Moving 2015
Your Brother in Christ

Good morning to you my faithful brother in Christ,
We, you and I, are definitely in agreement, being united in his One body, in One Word, of One Spirit having been given good understanding.
The only reason that the church is powerless to see the power of God in our lives and our earthly nations in which our carnal man was born, is called Unbelief because we trust man's ability, whom they can see and hear, more than God whom they can not see and refuse to hear as the truth to Live by. Lacking in the knowledge that God's and His Word are true and every man(carnal nature) is a liar!
We can not grow past what we see and hear man say in the natural which are temporary, to renew our minds to what God says to us spiritually as more true and eternal.
2 Cor 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. KJV
The heart of the king is in the hand of God and He can turn it anyway He chooses.
Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
KJV

We must pray for our leaders that God has allowed to rule over His earth so that we may live peaceable lives. For to vote on paper, which is the only choice unbelieving man has to get his voice and vote across is limited and untrustworthy, for we do not know the heart of a man to make a wise choice. But to go to God in prayer and to seek HIS approved man be put in offi to rule over those who wants righteousness of God taught in their country, schools, homes. For HIM to supernaturally put a godly king over us. This Pleases God and That! is going to get results. Paper votes can be lost, torn up, not counted, But God hearing our righteous request will never be lost in the shuffle!
I do not pledge my allegiance to anyone or thing or place other than God and His Christ/Word. For my God is my King as should be all born again from above children of God. Heavenly Jerusalem is my motherland and God rules over me, not man.Yet I do respect all authority, with the exception that it is contrary to God's Word, for all government is ordained by God to keep order and peace in the earth since sin rules in most men.
Ps 72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
KJV
Ps 75:7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
KJV

But while we are in this world, we are not of this world. All authorities, kings or princes, presidents etc... in the earth are to have God as their guide, being the head over them to rule their nation to keep them good and prosperous, protected.

For God's Word (Jesus) is:
Rev 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.
KJV

And the Almighty Father God is:

Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
KJV

And in the end every knee shall bow!

You have a peaceful day Jim~
