Agreement
I don't need a person to come along to save me from God's plan. I need to discern the unusual nature of God's plan to cleanse the earth of rebellion by giving everyone what they want, and then respond accordingly ...To start changing what it is that I want to agree with God.
Isaiah 28:21For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—
That He may do His work, His awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.
22Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be made strong;
For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts,
A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
There are hundreds of ways to miss this, but only one way to find it:
Matthew 6:24“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27“Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29“and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30“Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32“For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
You can't marry the world to God, and God isn't going to partner with the people of the earth. God is sifting...calling...Taking a people from a people. Right now, he's sifting the church. hard. If you don't know that, it's because you are being sifted out.
God is searching the earth for loyalty.
God doesn't "use" the people of the earth....He isn't like that. He gives everyone what they want in the measure and timing that gives them the best shot at eventually wanting Him. This plan...This brilliant plan of billions of simultaneous calculations... judges wrong desire and rewards right desire. In the end, the desire for death will die and the desire for life will live.
A very basic principle emerges from this right theology: GOD WILL NOT partner with darkness... he won't wink at arrogance, or lust, or greed, or self promotion. He isn't using the arrogant to get what he wants. He is letting the arrogant get what they want and all this works for the good of those who LOVE God and are called according to His purpose. Many in the church in this hour are declaring that God uses people. This is not the characteristic of a good Father. Many leaders in the church are willing to use a man, not caring if he actually gets saved or not...Not actually caring about the eternal state of his soul. God isnt like them. God loves all the people he made. He doesn't "use" any of them. God isn't like those who claim this. At all. Don't believe everything the profits say. There are many false prophets. We need to contend for truth and righteousness. Otherwise, the events of the hour will judge our winking at unrighteousness.
2 Cor 6:14Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
15And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
16And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18“I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.”
