God has a plan

Posted on 11/06/2020 10:08:11 AM PST by BuckeyeGOP

I have to admit, for the first time through this debacle my anger has turned to profound sadness. Sadness for this country I love so much. For my children and grandchildren on the way. My sadness may soon revert back to anger but for the time being the only thing that gives me comfort is my absolute belief that God has a plan.

"I keep trying to believe this..."

Same here. It's very hard to keep the faith when anger takes over your thinking. We've seen so many hateful, criminal acts against this man, and nothing being done about it despite hard facts that have proved criminal behavior. That's enough to make anyone stop believing. This election has made it even harder to keep praying. I'm angry at everything, and everyone. I want to believe that God has a reason for all of this, that the people who have been attacking President Trump, and trying to destroy our country, will finally be destroyed, but with all that has gone before, and no one being punished, why should I believe that this will turn out any different?

Amen. Faith tells us we don’t need to ask “why”. It’s enough for us that we KNOW that God knows “why”. That is what I am resting on.

The most difficult lesson for most of us to learn is that God is sovereign. We agree mentally, but when the rubber meets the road in practice, we begin to doubt Him. God is not our servant, we are his. So just because he didn't answer our prayer in accordance with our liking, isn't reason for abandoning our trust in him. Too many don't know the difference between faith and trust. A good homework assignment is contrasting/comparing the two according to His word. Trust brings peace even when things don't turn out the way you hoped it would. Trust brings peace because you KNOW he can be trusted to do what's right. He can see it even if we can't. God's sovereignty is the main thing that's been tossed out on a national level. Is it really any wonder if he exerts it in order to bring us back to that very necessary place for good solid relationship with him? What are the first two commandments? Those with doubts really need to turn to his word and see what he says about himself, and what his actions teach us about him. Those with doubts need to get to know him better. Were the modetn dayprophets wrong in thinking God wants Trump for a second term? Or is God showing us the evil in this country? They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...they shall mount up on wings as eagles!🎶

God has a plan and in that plan things end terribly on earth.”

You must not agree with the Bible.

After a few short years of tribulation, the “Heaven on Earth” will be upon us.

What we are dealing with now are the weeds Jesus described in Matthew 13. The weeds know what is coming and are creating the turmoil so they can hide songs us.

I’ve been doing exorcisms and spirit releasement work for over 30 years. I’ve encountered and interviewed a few weeds.

The weeds are behind the Deep State and have been for many years.

God is in control and everything is unfolding according to His Plan.

The Bible is very accurate.

Here’s what i keep asking in my prayers- Donald Trump always put Jesus first when he spoke in public. He was not ashamed to talk about God and faith in God.

Now- i can’t say that was the case in his private because i don’t know. But after all the anti-Godliness we heard from politicians in America, we finally have a man unashamed to speak about the Glory of God, all He’s done for our nation and our indebtedness to Him...its just very discouraging to say the least...

Great story.

Reminds me of Joseph helping his family in Egypt.

Christians have always known when God judges America we will be included in that judgment until death or the rapture. Prayers now for four more years are sincere and maybe God will answer with a positive answer.

The fact is four more years get us not far from where we are now as a nation. We need to realize barging into Gods presence with a 911 call isn’t how the Bible teaches our relationship with Him should be.
We must confess our sin and draw closer to Him through Bible Study and prayer for His will be done.

Prayer has the affect of changing our will to His will, not to change His. If we are living close to the tribulation things will become more like Noah’s day and probably worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. How many really want Jesus return and what must come with it? Could we really be near His soon appearing?

The story of Joseph and his family is a great one to remember at a time like this. God bless President Trump, and God bless the USA!!
