SATAN AS PERMITTED BY GOD

SATAN AS PERMITTED BY GOD

Some trials come directly from Satan, with God’s permissive will. For some reason we are left liable to his attacks. He attacked Job, destroyed his children, his possessions, and his health. God could shut him clear way from the world, just as he has shut him away from heaven, if he chose. But for some purpose he sees fit to let us be exposed to his attacks here. Many persons feel like a little boy who once said: “Mother, I wish God would kill the devil. Why doesn’t he do it? I would if I were big enough.” But Satan is limited in his work against us, and God is ever on our part, so that he can never go beyond God’s will for us, so long as we leave ourselves in God’s hands and rely upon him for the needed help. God does see fit sometimes to let him try us severely, but there never need be any cause for despair. God will not suffer us to be tempted more than we are able to bear. If Satan makes the temptation, God makes the way out. Sometimes he does not let us see the way out, even when he has prepared it, and we have to resist and endure the temptation until he sees that it has gone far enough. Then he shows us the way out. Sometimes he will take us and lift us clear out of it by his own hand. At other times he will put our adversary to flight. Our part is to endure and trust; God’s part is to make the way of escape. We must endure patiently until our deliverance comes.

THE SPIRIT OF JESUS IN THE CHURCH

Image
THE SPIRIT OF JESUS IN THE CHURCH JESUS is that self-same Holy Spirit; as He has attested in  John 14:18 , saying, “ I will not leave you comfortless, “I“  (Personal Pronoun)  WILL COME TO YOU .” “ I will be with you, even IN YOU until the end of the world. ”  Galatians 4:6  states this, too, “A nd because ye are sons, God has sent forth the SPIRIT of His SON into your hearts, crying Abba, Father .”  FOREVERMORE!”  Who was that? That was the same God Who also said, “  I have power to lay my life down, and raise it up again ” ( John 10:18 ). Jesus’ own Spirit is now “God IN Us”, the “Hope of Glory”  ( Colossians 1:27 ) . It is the SELF-SAME GOD all the time, never changing His power, just changed His form from the heavenly to the earthly, and then back again as the Great Spirit, after having fulfilled His great redemptive story. He was “GOD ABOVE US” in His Fatherhood dispensation; “GOD WITH US” in His Sonship dispensation; and now...

THE GOD OF THIS EVIL AGE

Image
Spirit, in the beginning before there was a beginning, He was God. And did you know you were in Him then? If you are a Christian now, you was in Him then. And then if that be so, the whole Godhead bodily shaped up in the person of Jesus Christ. And then when Jesus died at the cross, I died with Him, for I was in Him then; for He was the fullness of the Word manifested, knowing that we would be manifested later. And we was at Calvary with Him. We went in the grave with Him, and we raised with Him in His resurrection, and now we've ascended by His Spirit to the throne of grace, sitting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, always. For as the germ of natural life is brought down, germitized from father to father, to father, to father, so is the life of Christ germitized. That's the reason God uses Elijah's spirit five different times. What is it? It's a handing down. Just as your natural life and traits is handed down from the natural breeding of your fa...

THREE DISPENSATION OF THE ONE GOD

Image
THREE DISPENSATION OF THE ONE GOD “God ABOVE Us”  - that’s how God was known in the Old Testament, in the Fatherhood dispensation. God dwelling in the heavenlies, where no man could ever touch Him. When the the time for the Sonship dispensation came, fulfilling the prophesy of  Isaiah 9:6  which says, “ For to us a child is born, for to us a SON is given: the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty GOD, and everlasting FATHER, Prince of Peace ”, these all pertain to the FLESH of God JESUS, being God Himself becoming Emmanuel, which being interpreted “ God WITH us ” God Who can now be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. It was God also fulfilling  Isaiah 53:5 , “ But He (God) was WOUNDED for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him: and by His stripes we are healed ” - all fulfilled and completed at the Cross of Calvary. In these last da...
