PASSIONATE PURSUIT...AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART

​ECCLESIASTES 8:4-10
WHERE THE WORD OF A KING IS, THERE IS POWER: AND WHO MAY SAY UNTO HIM, WHAT DOEST THOU?
WHOSO KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT SHALL FEEL NO EVIL THING: AND A WISE MAN’S HEART DISCERNETH BOTH TIME AND JUDGMENT.
BECAUSE TO EVERY PURPOSE IS TIME AND JUDGEMNT, THEREFORE THE MISERY OF MAN IS GREAT UPON HIM.
FOR HE KNOWETH NOT THAT WHICH SHALL BE: FOR WHO CAN TELL HIM WHEN IT SHALL BE?
THERE IS NO MAN THAT POWER OVER THE SPIRIT TO RETAIN THE SPIRIT; NEITHER HATH THE POWER IN THE DAY OF DEATH: AND THERE IS NO DISCHARGE IN THAT WAR; NEITHER SHALL WICKEDNESS DELIVER THOSE THAT ARE GIVEN TO IT.
ALL THIS HAVE I SEEN, AND APPLIED MY HEART UNTO EVERY GOOD WORK THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN, THERE IS A TIME WHEREIN ONE MAN RULETH OVER ANOTHER TO HIS OWN HURT.
AND SO I SAW THE WICKED BURIED, WHO HAD COME AND GONE FORMT HE PLACES OF THE HOLY, AND THEY WERE FORGOTTEN IN THE CITY WHERE THEY HAD SO DONE; THIS IS ALSO VANITY.
Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and his word is accompanied by the power of the Holy Ghost. He has given power to believe it with signs following. The Lord is the potter and we are the clay and although we are humbled and reverence him enough not to question what the potter is doing the word says that the Lord called us friends and because we are his chosen, He shares his will. He shared with the preacher Solomon that if we keep the Lord’s commands, He will shield us from evil. The Lord is the good sheppard. Those he as blessed with the spirit of wisdom shall understand time and judgement. The Lord has revealed that the time is not long. We are living in the end times. The time is appointed to surrender and to seek for the Spirit of God. The time is a time to repent and turn from your wicked way. These times are a time to forgive our brethren and bring your gift to the alter. The time is to pray like you’ve never prayed before. The time is to praise past the pain, disappointment and to breakthrough the warfare. The time is appointed for just judgment to come forth. It’s a time to love the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart and believe able to do all things but fail.  There is a time and judgment for every purpose. Our laboring is not in vain. It can be miserable for a man who is patiently waiting for just judgment, but thanks be to the most high who has freely given his spirit to know the mind of Christ and his timing for things; that spirit convicts and we don’t have to wonder what shall be, The Lord orders our steps and guides us in the paths of all truths.
It can seem sometimes when we are in warfare that the war again your spirit man will never come to an end and enemies will attempt confuse with beliefs that you have no control to retain your spirit. However, the Lord’s spirit is Holy and the adversary cannot control the Holy Ghost. His spirit is not temporary. The heavens cannot contain or retain Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Remember, these are the days where there are great amount falling away. The adversary has no power unless we surrender it by feeding into the seducing spirits and winds of false doctrine. We must allow his Holy Spirit to reign completely so that we stay within the hedge of protection. Remember, the Lord allows the tests to refine us that we come out pure as gold. So continue to trust in the Lord and do good. The preacher says he saw the wicked buried who had gone from the holy place. Many have gone from us but yet were not of us, even they have an appointment with death. The Lord will handle those who trouble us. Know that judgment is coming and is set in the heavenlies. Stay the course, finish the race and know that the Lord is with you no matter the circumstance or situation. #trust #faith
