Before the soul can really rejoice in the plenty it first must taste the flavor of lack.
Before there was the Amazing Universe there was the void and the emptiness.
Before there was the great light there was the thickest darkness.
Before God thundered "Let there be light" there was the silence of darkness.
Before there was the saved there was the lost.
Before he rejoiced in sight, the blind man could not see.
Before Abraham was connected to the truth and to God, he was connected to the liar and his idols.
Before Moses was is the Arms of the Almighty calling down fire and hail from heaven and splitting Seas with God who was his constant glory, he was in the basket floating to the discovery of His Grace and His High Calling. Gods greatest servants mostly have the most humble beginnings, but such God filled endings.
Before Moses was walking on the Mountain of God his feet were first treading upon the desert of despair.
Before Moses cried his first "Thus saith the Lord," he said I cannot speak Lord.
Before Moses was used by God, he was first used by Pharaoh & Egypt.
Before Moses and God came together to set the captive free, the children of Israel were first taken captive by the Pharaoh of Satan.
Before Jesus cast out all those demons out of the mad man living in the grave yards, those devils fought back saying LEAVE US ALONE JESUS. They resisted but the still lost the battle. Jesus Won. We are to remember that. No matter the resistance, the demons are subject to us just as they were that day to Jesus in His Name.
Before David experienced the true love and mercy of God and wrote all those love songs of Gods mercy in the Psalms, David first sinned terribly.
Before Solomon learned to say that the most important duty to all men is to love God and to keep His Commandments, Solomon committed almost every sin in the book, even to the abomination of bowing his knee to idols and building those idols temples of worship even as he built Gods Great Temple. What happened to Solomon? Loose gentile women the bible says, turned Solomons heart away from God. God was furious with Solomon whom He gave all that wisdom and understanding to. In this we learn that incredible Wisdom and Understanding in themselves do not change whats really in the heart of man which is sin, nor does it change the pull that women have on the heart and flesh of men. Only the power that comes from the Cross of Jesus Christ and staying in constant prayer and true fellowship with Jesus can take away and overcome sin in the heart and in the record books. Solomon strayed from fellowship with the Lord. For years he preferred women above faithfulness to God. Wisdom and great education did not save him from this global problem and sin. Neither does is save this present generation from the constant repeating of this same sin. The world has gone wild in sexual sins, more that ever before just as scriptures fore told it would.
No one can no forgiveness unless they first know sin.
No one can really know what freedom is unless they first taste the bitterness of slavery.
What good is a solution without a challenge?
How can I know and rejoice in the sweet unless I have first tasted the bitter?
How can I experience a real answer from God if I do not first Ask Him directly in Prayer?
Israel would have never seen or known God to part Seas for salvation had they not first been backed in a corner.
How would we know that God meets all our needs if we never had a need, or if our cups are all full and overflowing. Even the rich and the wealthy Christians still have needs and still have day to day challenges. God does not let any of us that BELONG TO JESUS to stop using our faith even if our cups are all overflowing. For without faith no one can please God. He will have you giving by faith and believing for even greater things.
The way of the smooth and it's difference to what is rough is learned by the sole of the feet living life in this world, even by faith.
How can we know and experience the power of faith at work without a mountain in its target sight?
No man can really know the difference between what is good and what is evil in this blind world without the Spirit of the Lord and His divine intervention on earth. For to man its all the same and of the same and both are natural with one having the same right as the other. For this very reason evil marches today in America and the world for its rights and expression saying I AM NOT WRONG, NOR AM I ABNORMAL.
Before we were translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ and light, we were first DELIEVERED from Satan and the power of darkness.
Your present now is for a greater tomorrow filled with grace. BELIEVE, JESUS SAID TO MARY AT THE TOMB OF HER DEAD BROTHER, BELIEVE AND YOU SHALL SEE THE GLORY OF GOD. SHE BELIEVED AND SHE SAW THE GLORY OF GOD TURNED HER TEARS INTO INCREDIBLE JOY AND REJOICING. You may be sowing in tears right now due to lack or things that seem hopeless and dead, but the bible says to believers that those who plant seeds in tears will sprout up crops of joy by faith in God. Let us together believe and we shall see the glory of God turn things around bringing something out of what seems nothing, plenty where there was lack, health where there was sickness, life where there was death, freedom where there was slavery and bondage, love where there was hate, unity where there was division, sweet where there was bitter, calms where there was storms, wet where there was dry, oasis where there was desert, light where there was darkness, faith where there was unbelief, truth where there was lies, assurance where there was before doubt, and Jesus where there used to be Satan in the hearts of people......deno....share freely.
