PURPOSE

May 8 PURPOSE . . . For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. — 1 JOHN 3:8 During the Korean Conflict, I read an article by a well-known newspaper columnist. He said, “I don’t claim to be a Christian, but I’m not an atheist or an agnostic either. The atheist says there is no God. The agnostic says there may be a God; he doesn’t know. I believe there is a God. I don’t believe everything just happened into being. What hinders me from being a Christian is what I hear preachers say. They say that God is running everything. Well, if He is, He’s sure got things in a mess.” Then the columnist alluded to the wars, children being killed, poverty, disease, and so forth, that plague the world. He said, “I believe there is a Supreme Being somewhere, and that everything He made was beautiful and good. I can’t believe these other things are the works of God.” No, these things came with the fall, when Satan became the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4)....

THE GOOD

May 4 THE GOOD If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. — ISAIAH 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, it is God’s will that you have the best. (Of course, you can’t walk in disobedience and enjoy the good things of God.) God is not a miser or a tightwad. And He didn’t put everything here in this world for the devil and his crowd to enjoy. Some people have the idea that if you’re a Christian, you should never have anything, financially or materially. They believe that you should go through life poor and beaten down. But Jesus said, “If ye then, being evil [natural], know how to give good gifts unto your children, HOW MUCH MORE shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matt. 7:11). Oh, God wants to give us good gifts! He wants us to have the best! He wants us to prosper and have the good things of this life! But we must cooperate with Him. Confession: I am willing to love and serve God my Father. I am obedient to walk in the l...

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid...

LIMITING GOD

April 25 LIMITING GOD Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. — PSALM 78:41 Can you limit God? The Bible says Israel did. And we have limited Him. We have limited God with our prayer life. John Wesley, founder of Methodism, said, “It seems God is limited by our prayer life. He can do nothing for humanity unless someone asks Him to do it.” Why is that? God made the world and the fullness thereof. Then God made man and gave him dominion over all the works of His hands. Adam was made the God of this world. However, Adam committed high treason and sold out to Satan. Then Satan became the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4). God didn’t just move in and destroy Satan. If He had, Satan could have accused God of doing the same thing he had done. But God devised a plan of salvation. And He sent His Son, whom Satan could not and did not touch, to consummate that plan. Through Jesus, God redeemed mankind! Now authority has been restored to us through Jesus Christ— an...

FOUNDATION

April 23 FOUNDATION Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. — 2 TIMOTHY 2:15 Someone who reads about how I took my authority over the spirits binding my brother might say, “I believe I’ll try that.” It won’t work if you try it. I didn’t just try it — I did it! Just because someone sees a traffic policeman exercising his authority doesn’t mean they can run out in front of the cars and say, “I believe I’ll try that.” No one would obey them. Now, if they would put on a policeman’s uniform and put a whistle in their mouth, people would stop. They would recognize the authority behind the policeman. Believers sometimes hear how someone else used their authority, and they think, I’ll try that because I heard him say it. It worked for him, so it will work for me. Satan knows they are not convinced of their authority, and when they try to act on God’s Word without really having the Word built into their spirits, and ...

WHAT YE WILL

April 18 WHAT YE WILL If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. — JOHN 15:7 The Lord has said to me as I prayed about the impending death of loved ones, “Whatever you say about it, that’s what I’ll do.” In one particular case, as I pled my rights in prayer concerning a situation, the Lord came to me in a vision and said, “All right, I’m going to give them _______ more years. And I’m going to do it just because you asked Me to. No earthly father ever desired to do more for his children than I do for Mine, if they would only let Me.” Why doesn’t God just do it? Because we must cooperate with God in faith! The idea that God is a tyrant who rules over people, knocks heads together, and does what He wants to, whether man cooperates or not, is pure ignorance. We have a part to play! And, thank God, we can take our rightful place. The Lord Jesus Christ — Head over all things to His Body — is hindered in His mighty plans and working...
