My God is great ...!!!
I have some people recently noticed that they are frustrated. Frustrated because God apparently does so little. Because we see so little. Because they are disappointed.
I count myself sometimes somehow to do so.
On Tuesday I got the newsletter read by Nari and he's happy just thrilled to anyone who finds his way to Jesus and anyone with whom he can talk only about him. - And I ...? My thought was actually: 2 .. only 2 .... and so many who do not listen ... do not understand it .... not accept it ....
I catch myself thinking that make me really scared:
"What sense does all this have here, what are we doing here?"
"What will it be if it bears so little fruit?"
"Why have just us on this path go and others do it comfortably, without even a shred of bad conscience? "
And yet quite different in shitty thoughts ....
We have not only not one of us, is Jesus, but unfortunately one that is on it ill against us. The case, tried everything to get us.
in self JESUS he is against not shrunk.
He `s tried directly, when he was in the desert and wanted to put him the world at your feet (Matthew 4:8) , or man, as Jesus hung on the cross and the people who passed by derided him, have and urged him to rise from the cross. (Matthew 27.42)
It would have been so much easier and more convenient. And so easy for him. Like a Fingerschnipsen. Not anymore. And everything would have been over. No more pain. No more sarcasm. Not far away from the father.
But what would have been the price?
No one would have been saved ....
But it would be so much easier been ...
These thoughts pull me down. Up in the deepest cellars of the emotions.
And in this sense can swamp mer wallow be pretty nice. How s little pig in the mud. Schööön wallow in it. * Oink * * oink oink * * *
version is coming as net so easily.
The devil throws us happy with the dirt, because he knows he has succeeded.
Fuck! And how successful has it!
Here comes me high the bile, when I see what the havoc it!
And the goal which he has so that is pretty clear: He
discourage us wants. Stun. Destroy. Prevent
to do, what to do.
to experience that know what we should do. Will we prevent
are tools that we are genuine, we pray that we act.
Because the thwarted his plans.
And because he hates it.
He hates us. And much more the One who created us because He created us. Because God loves us and we as children of God even over the angels. He is jealous, as the sow. And he laughs can be broken if we fail, God and he rub his nose.
why he goes in the first place. to diss God. To destroy what He loves.
say we are collateral damage in his attempt to defeat God in the face.
And he will do everything to defeat, how to avoid the case of Job. Also
s very ingenious book of the Bible. Indigestible food, but it damn well. I'd only read's net first. Could be indigestion.
belch and fart excluded net.
Lucky is dat not a constant state.
In a perhaps less and others more.
know but everyone's doing.
But why such a shit happens ...!?!?
This much is clear:
The devil attacks the first of which comes across him. The more seriously I do with Jesus, the more I am exposed to the attacks of the devil.
As an infantry soldier. The closer I get to the front, and the more severe the impacts are all around me.
But only here can I fight. Here I'm useful.
And in war are the most desirable destinations, where the most damage can be done.
enemy Satan is God. And its most valuable we are his children. And cause the most damage he can, by shooting at those who are dangerous to him because they can be used by God, for whatever He wills.
But why these attacks succeed so often? Why
fall victim to temptation and let us down like this course? Why do we fall
purely on these and other lies of the devil?
Why do we doubt? Why
fail when it comes to tell others about Jesus? But
There's certainly more declarations 3,000,000 - and a point - which I now will not necessarily out - is not that we put on his armor.
In Ephesians 6.10 to 20 Paul describes the armor of God. - If at any time and browse through to make s few thoughts. Worthwhile.
has made before last Wednesday in the Bible Stammtisch Thommy as a theme.
was really good. I knew the place, but I've thought before that net as real as made drum. - Perhaps the pack of Thommy yes ma ne für'n Saturday in short sermon:)
But as I said, the armor is not my topic today.
I do it again NEN little trip into the Old Testament. Then I came across a passage that describes it very well. The Prophet Daniel prophesied
often in two hours. Once on a time that lies in our past and once at the end time.
Daniel prophesy only about various kings who come and go and make each other wet. And then:
In its place will rise a despised, which the royal dignity was not supposed, but he will come suddenly and seize the kingdom by flatteries.
Daniel 11.21
In the past, he refers to a king who ermogelt something cunning power added. Antiochius IV Epiphanes. Probably one of, if not the cruel king of that period (215-164 BC). Looking into the future, the whole is more often employed on the Antichrist. I
les net present everything before, because I will not hold end-time preaching. Dat I leave to others.
In the other verses he writes about various Dirty, and such, that he gives power and God tries to piss on the cart. Prophesied about the desecration of the Temple in Jerusalem and similar shit, he mortised. But
mer knows it all anyway.
The devil does exactly the same. He pulls power for himself, which is not to him, God tries to piss on the cart and so on.
What once was, it will be again, and once that is done, this will happen again. And there is nothing new under the sun.
preacher 1.9
And it is those who do wrong against the federal government, misled by flattery to the waste;
Daniel 11.32 a
looks familiar, right? Is it a popular scam by the devil, a zuzusülzen and everything to make them palatable, which is not in God's mind.
Especially when mer eh grad weak in faith, or is somehow fell flat on his face and always vulnerable.
but the people who know their God will remain firm and act. Daniel
11.32 b
This is the point. God know.
How many lies and how much crap can pump the old bastard Luzi in our lives because we are God, because we really do not know Jesus?
clear. En few of us go quite a long time with Jesus and know him much better than others.
But some of us know it yet net as long, or ham JESUS, as I pushed, a good time on long's siding. And as for NEM looks
good friend, the net long mer, mer alienated himself.
But the users of the bag!
How much easier it is for, to tell you lies about someone you know net so well?
How much easier it because to get up to something to do, which you know or net net sure what your boyfriend / girlfriend / husband / wife, whoever thinks about it?
And how much easier it is to discourage you if you do not know if your friend will help you?
Or you do not know what he can do at all?
Or if he wants to help at all?
This is the same with Jesus.
when I do not know how to distinguish what is true because then lied about it or is it?
How am I to distinguish what he finds good and what is not?
How should I then leave me to it if I do not know what IT can do?
or whether he wants to do so because ...?
And how shall I then act?
How should I know if I run just after Jesus, or nerve lie?
It is so important to know HIM .....
In Matthew 22 en wanted some Sadducees Jesus left. The Sadducees were among the rich and superiors in Jerusalem and had more power in the temple, like the Pharisees, but so much about the Torah, from the Old Testament had the net really. The ham net believed in the resurrection, net because that there are angels or demons. And the ham from the Old Testament only the 5th accepted books of Moses and believed that God has pulled back the time and net more particularly cares about dat, wat we do here and also net more engaging.
treasures ma, the ham made the temple service only because of the prestige and power. Is indeed nowadays net got so completely out of fashion.
Whatever. The ham is absorbed, remarry marry because, and resurrection, and who has kricht because nu the woman in the sky when her husband died is and se remarried
But Jesus answered and said unto them, "You are mistaken, because it neither the Scriptures nor the power of God knows.
Matthew 22.29
And then he said that is how it's really nu.
said of his statement and I think Jesus more than just dat the wrong thing in one lay. The boys had no plan of God. And dat was net only in one way of tea.
They knew nothing of God,
nothing of what his will is,
net to what He is all in a position
and what he wants.
The full swing against the wall.
And because it's where God went to net, but of power, prestige, and so - and because everything dat was based on the Temple and the net on God, it was over it, as under Nero, Titus, a little more than 30 years later destroy the Temple in Jerusalem did. Her faith was only religion - and religion has not saved anyone.
This can only be Jesus.
religion is not even a tepid imitation of what God is ...
It's not about accumulating as much knowledge, which I splurge can. Knowledge on which I can rely on, or something.
No.
It's about a relationship.
A relationship between you and God
God created us for love.
He loves us so incredible that I can not even begin to comprehend can.
He has given us the love of our free will so that we come to Him willingly.
We return his love.
for its own sake. The only way love works. And the only reason he takes it all .... in purchase
But to love someone, I must get to know him. If I see
s sweet girl, I'll probably fall in love. But I can really love who I know. And if someone loves
mer, mer wants to get to know him more and more.
Will know more about the other. Who loves
will do what is good for the other. What the other is pleased and happy - which is but only if I know the others.
how painful it is when mer overhears the man loves the chamber, believes the lies he told about getting one?
... so God feels when we go into the trap of the devil ...
and how painful, how destructive it is when someone else tells lies about the loves mer? - But that's what makes the devil. He tells us lies about GOD. And the better we know him, the easier it is for us to see through the lies. And to tell the devil that he can even kiss us, find it tastes bitter, because we know our PAPA indicated.
The devil wants to prevent with all the power that we know God better. Because the better we know God, the less power and space attack he has.
The better we know Him, the stronger our love for Him and the more we understand what is really going on here in this world.
How many people God is considered a tyrant, because they know him only as a judge and not God as a loving father? Jesus as a true friend?
not understand that God punishes us net, if we do not a failure, but we very carefully will again on its feet?
How many people have no idea how big, how powerful God is holy, because they see Jesus only as a good friend?
How many people limit God's action to "time", and do not realize that he is still just like "back then"?
How many lies he told you, me and others told you and we ate them because we do not know HIM?
how much damage he has already done so ....?
How much suffering caused?
God knows each of us breath. Everything good and everything bad.
And He loves us despite our mistakes.
But what about you? How well do you know
HIM?
How big is God to you?
I've even thought alts times since made drum, but it was so real net with the heart.
But this year the stock was GOD freak much of the opinion that there would be time to change something.
My image of God was reasonably stable, but rather vague. But I had been satisfied. How
in ner relationship that gets stuck. It is just somehow, but it is net so the bomb. And this will change only when one breaks out of this rut.
Well. But he had to see to that:)
ER gave me this year on freakstock shown so starkly how little I know him ....
With many small things.
Mer goes at night to embark on de Hecke, and looks the way back into the sky and see the stars. Much better than usual, because there's hardly ne artificial light.
think a little .... "PAPA .... net mean you had a bit excessive ...?" And
mer got the extra little impression of its size.
small Ganz.
And yet by many other things before and after, he has shown me that I know him far too little.
And I have far too little desire for it.
This has been a thing I went on for some time en laces.
example, I had to almost force myself to read the Bible or pray.
I must hurry, because I know - we talk this evening, Lord, yes?
pray? Och net present PAPA ..... more We talk tomorrow.
And louder things like that.
I'm here come on their own net on. Net came out.
And after a workshop "hear God's voice," I finally have time to pray for me. So I finally get out of this quagmire. That was
schonma the first step, noted only a lot I have at the beginning net .....
But God has moved on.
Whether in sermons or in Nightpraise when I spoke there, or even after em freakstock with people who have prayed, or wherever.
He has given me more and more small comment on its size and I've realized more and more how little I know him.
How little I know of its size, how little I know of his power.
Until I eventually could only stand open-mouthed in front of him and actually say nothing anymore.
So small .... with hat but recovered from him.
How little I know of His love and His presence can be as blatant, the
me sometime just blown away just yet.
With so many little things, like the Nightpraise muckeln just in PAPA's hand and can just enjoy. As Simon and Alina have concluded their peace mitenand how Marina did her thing with God clear. As the Vineyard - boys ham said: God acts, now. Pray for each other, for healing, (and has cured ER! Marc's foot, Tobi's stomach .....!) and so much more ...
So small .... with hat but recovered from him.
how little I know of his pain ....
being lost on each of the pain goes.
about people who are my close and do not understand what is going on.
over the whole shit that's happening in the world .....
And I and my little problems are still important to him. The one man for whom I pray now, not one is from the statistics, but the ER is crying in pain and this man, many thousand times more love and want to see how I saved ever could.
How little I know about the weapons and tools that He has for us.
If I am almost half-naked on the battlefield. - Left and right hails's strikes and my biggest concern is that a man could see my pills. And God
net thinks, "You idiot!" But keeps his hand over me.
When I try to save someone vor'm crashes, but forget the rope and the hook. And He does not think again, "idiot" but just my hand and stops, I crash.
How little I know of HIS wisdom and always try to go their own way and it must be slowed again by him before I fall flat on its face.
He has shown me just a little bit more of themselves. So much so that I get hungry for more.
But still there is only a thought that is left over: "My God is great"
And not only is it important for us that we know God, but also for others. Because
do we tell other than by someone on, we do not know? Dat
are then so the story has it seen the dude en cousin of my great-aunt of nem in Dortmund-Scharnhorst. Maybe it
net für'n and laugh, but does not really interest's.
But when I talk about things that I have seen, it looks often very different. Mer
If people tell of what has mer personally experienced with God, keep the stupid one for either total, or be curious.
It is so important and so awesome to get to know God more and more.
We are not the lies of the devil on your line.
We understand what a powerful and Satan on the other hand we PAPA real abstinkt.
We understand the ER is always there for us. Even if it's perhaps not as grad feels. He has promised us
's - feelings can deceive. God does not. We
from the safe comfort Boot off and learn to trust Him.
And so much more ..... of reasons
He does it in so many different ways:
Through the Bible, if you
when I spend time with Him - in prayer, in worship, when we live our normal life with Him.
through small and flashy things that you can do ER.
by other people who know him.
When you get to know God more and more, you will be surprised again and again, from Him. By His love, His power, His wisdom, His grace, how much you and he acted.
We should never forget. Even if the devil we finish the always beautiful wants. Luzi Forget it! - My dad is much larger and more blatantly as you like!
There is nothing and no one would even approach only because it.
"My God is great"
And I can do it put to my heart to anyone who does not have this hunger to know God more and more to learn: ask him! He wants to help you anyway. He loves thee!
".... because it is God who works in you both to will and the accomplishment of his good pleasure. "Philippians 2:13
And do not do that at some point, but present.
Ask him a question that you get to know him better, that you want to do with Him. Or that you ever erstma Bock as get it.
our Dad has been doing this.
"My God is great!"

Towards the end en little soul food:)
King David was one that even a lot Mist has built, but he was one who knew God really well and knew how good God knows it .. And he s brilliant talent had to put into words:
Psalm 139
searchest one Lord, you love me and know me. 2 I'm sitting or standing on, you know it, you understand my thoughts from afar. 3 I'm lying down, and you're around and see all my ways. 4 For behold, it is not Word on my tongue, but thou, O LORD do not know. 5 From all sides you surround me and keep your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me too high, and I understand they can not. 7 Where shall I go go from your Spirit, and where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there. I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9, I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost sea, 10 so I would but there your hand and hold your right me. 11 If I say, let darkness cover me! the night must be light about me. 12 For even darkness is not dark to thee, the night is as clear as day; Darkness is like light. 13 For you have formed my inward parts, and me in the womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are thy works, and that my soul good. 15 There you was not hid from my bones, I was made in secret, because I was formed in the earth below. 16 Your eyes saw me when I was still unprepared, and all my members were written in your book that should be, since none was as the same.
"My God is great!"
