Trusting the God of Abraham - 5

Again, we want to thank you our family for all of your kindness and your friendship and your love and your acceptance and your different words. It's funny you think I don't mean you, but I think I don't have an accent and I talked normal and I compare everything else by how I taught but we all, I guess. Have a little different twang and we have a little different way of saying things that's neat and that's really super, but thank you so much for your kindness. I thought tonight. There were two options with all the rain. Everybody might stay home or there's nothing else to do so you Meisel come out and do. Looks like a few people came out. Please take your Bible again and turn to Hebrews chapter 6 and just bring us into our text. I'll begin to read up verse 11 and down to the end of verse 18 and again as I've mentioned a few times I reading from the ES and we can verse 11 desire. Each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises for when God made a promise to Abraham since he had no one greater by whom this rare. He swore by himself saying, surely I will bless you and multiply you, and thus Abraham having patiently waited, obtained the promise for people swear by something greater than themselves and in all their disputes and notes is the final for confirmation so when God desired to shorter show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the whole set before us. One of the great tragedies, sad tragedies of an apostate is that they have no one to blame but themselves for falling away. They don't think that and if we're not careful, we will not think that as well. A person who at one time professes Jesus Christ and then subsequently renounces and rejects that fashion really believes they have good reasons for not continuing in the faith and persevering some of them are blaming the church there very disappointed with the church either the church in general are there particular church very frustrated.

I continue you know if the church wasn't so irrelevant, so formal. If it wasn't so hypocritical.

If it wasn't so out of date.

If it wasn't this in the wasn't that. And it wasn't the other thing some people who have plasticized blame it on particular Christians. Well my parents were Christians of that's being a Christian who needs it. While we had a pastor in our church each proved to be a real hypocrite.

Well Sunday school teacher, whatever it might, but ultimately every apostate blames God.

You know the problem is that this gospel that God has announced is too strict in finding the Christian life is just too hard. God is unfair is unjust. God is this in God is that in God is the other thing and I have good reasons to pack it in.

Now, as we've been working through chapter 6 of Chris Weeden pulling and other parts of Hebrews and we need to remember that the preacher, not me.

The preacher, but the preacher of this great sermon in the book of Hebrews has two Kes test case their examples of apostasy. One is the individual, the twin brother of Jacob and his name is Esau. The other is that adult generation of the children of Israel in the wilderness, and if you remember, even reading through all that in the Old Testament, or even reading through chapters 3 and four and so on, and Hebrews you know that that's exactly what those apostates did. They grumbled against the leaders, Moses and Aaron Joshua Caleb. They certainly grumbled against God. Not only could you not provide a good menu in a variety of but he actually brought the boat in the wilderness to kill them they actually thought they had better when they were unsafe when they were back in Egypt and you see, the tendency is always to be looking for excuses for our unbelief and our disobedience and maybe even for apostasy itself that we live in a time when every time there is a failure in the church we almost have to call in candidate we would call this a Royal commission. We got a look into this. So what what was wrong with that church that this occurred, what was wrong with that ministry that that man did what did what was wrong and when you come to the Bible you notice that the 11 apostles not didn't get together afterwards and saying, what did we do wrong that Judas would apostate size. Paul didn't have a holy huddle to find out what he and the other brothers and sisters did wrong that Dimas would leave them because of the allurements of this present age and we have a tendency to think that if we do this right now where to seek to do it is right as we can, but were not not to think that if we do it right. There won't be any falling away any experience faith any shallow conversions. Any superficial responses to Jesus Christ.

It was all through the Old Testament and it was all through the New Testament God pastor to couple churches. But I've never been in a church close to the church at Corinth and when you walk in the foyer of the church of client there's there's photographs of the founding pastor's first there's Paul.

Then there's Peter. And then there's a Paulus you think while and then you read first Corinthians, and you really go while with those guys starting this thing and following up Scott at work must work and if you go to the churches in Galatia, you would see that in the cornerstone founding pastor Paul in there that close to denying the truth we been slowly but hopefully Shirley working through this chapter, I given the little kind of illustration just to help us. We've we've driven up to the curb on 6 Hebrew Ln. and we've looked at this house and frankly from where we where in the car. There's not a lot of appeal. Is there it's one of those chapters. You kinda okay well II know you should read all the words of the Bible. Let's get through this so we can get to chapter 7 and find out about Melchizedek. There's a lot of great chapters in the Bible. I'm not sure I really want. Check out chapter 6, but we have the preachers convinced us that we should at least go to the front door go up to the porch not the door and an at least poker hits in each room and kinda see what's going on in the first room was a caution that were never ever ever to pit one part of the Bible against another part of Bible so that we will get the Bible to say what we wanted to say we are to see that both this warnings of the Bible and the promises of the Bible come from God and are designed to elicit saving, persevering, faith to the children of God. We went to the second room and it was a realm of warning and we saw that to walk away from Jesus Christ is not a light thing the most precious thing to God is his beloved son. He allowed him once to come to this planet to be treated terribly.

He was mocked to spit on.

He was falsely tried in a kangaroo court after kangaroo court is condemned to die, but never again and any person who professes Jesus Christ and then walks away. They are ratifying the decision that was made that Easter in 30 A.D. they are saying that Jesus is not really my time in my life and my effort my sweat, my toil I got better things to live for. He's a phony. He's a fraud. We need to visit that room because that warning is spoken to us. But last night we went to room three and it was encouraging wasn't it, to hear that God loves his people, and God recognizes and observes the marks of grace, the things that evidence true saving grace in his people, and then at the end we were encouraged in terms of some counsel from the preacher, the preacher of Hebrews that we are to stop being spiritually lazy if we don't want to apostate size and where to find in verse 12 people to imitate people to imitate and who would you pick the phonies in the frauds in the church. No, we are to imitate people who through faith and patience and inherit the promises.

You see, the moment you meet a true genuine believer, the jig is up to you. You and I and we have no excuse for not pressing on persevering because every time you meet a true believer. You are being confronted the miracle a supernatural because nobody is naturally a believer. Nobody asks naturally perseveres and presses on in spite of absolutely everything, even at times, the losing of their own lives. Unless God has done this and I can look through the church and find all kinds of phonies. And if I'm looking for an excuse not to believe there's lots of them. And God doesn't make any attempt to hide that dosing, but that's what I'm not to look for. I'm to look for those who are pressing on persevering in the faith to the end and mine them mimicked them imitate them.

And as we talked last night not only a great biblical people persevered. For example, in Hebrews chapter 11, but were defined godly people in our own church were to hang around the word about them and where to be in their faces were to find what makes you tick. Why do you keep going with all that you face while you pressing on why you persevering why are you hanging in there when the providence of God seems to be contradicting the promises of God in your life and you want to hang with those people you want to understand and listen to them and observe them in watch them because the most important thing in your Christian life is to finish is to cross the line to persevere and hope until the end. Now, in case we don't know who to imitate the preacher of the book of Hebrews gives us a glorious example in Hebrews chapter 13 to verse our chapter 6 verses 13 to 18, he picks Abraham now else I hope will see he does it for more than one reason. But Abraham is the prototype of true saving persevering faith. Paul picks this guy I said reverently in Romans chapter 4 James picks Abraham and James chapter 2, the preacher of Hebrews will pick Abraham and Sarah.

Quite a bit in Chapter 11. He is the prototype of what it means to press on and persevere to the end and to be brutally honest if anybody should have packed it in. It should've been Abraham. Now what we want to do this evening. And since it's raining and there's nowhere to go.

I could have eight or 12 or 14 points, but I will have. I could have five points but I think I'll have three. First of all we want to look at the argument. Secondly, the analogy and then thirdly, the application, the argument in verses 13 to 15 for when God made a promise to Abraham we have finally got there we were concerned about warnings and how that fits into promises, but you know warnings lead to promises warnings enable us to really grasp and see and pursue promises of God, not just want to say couple things about the promises of God. I'm getting both old and the cold last couple years and can't remember exactly when it doesn't matter to you, but I will say about a year ago in the late spring young fellow who was in his late 20s came to see me.

We had to distance on my back porch. The rules in Canada at the time and that that was fine. It was a beautiful spring day and he had just finished Bible college the end of April and for about the last month he was locked up in his room depressed seldom came out except for the basics of life and someone suggested will one to go and see Don and he came to see me and he obviously looked very distressed very discouraged and very down and he told me that for the last 4 to 6 weeks. He hardly left his room and I civil what's the problem. He said I've had a number of relationships with girls. Good girls good relationships, but none of them have ended in marriage, and I think he was 28. I want to get married. He said I told the Lord this year at Bible college that the next girl I dated.

I want to marry her and if it isn't the Lord's will. Don't let me date the girl and don't let a relationship. Start well. He dated the girl relationships started and before the year was out. Lots of guys of her discipline. She said you know it's not you it's me, but I I don't think this is going to work. Let's just send everything and you go your way. Your great guy. I appreciate this year of friendship, but it just isn't going to work and so he said I became very depressed, icily mad at the girl he's is no automatic God and I said why and he said well God told me that if I dated this girl. It would end in marriage and I said you didn't tell me that what you actually told me is what you told God he should be doing and he said well well he he let the relationship goal so he must've agreed with what I said. He made a promise to me and I said the only promises God makes of the word God, and you never tell God what his promises are going God came to Abraham to tell him the promise that God was going to make now.

The second thing we need to understand about promises that all the promises of God are divine, they are supernatural. What that means is that there is no natural means filling the promise in bringing it to realization the divine promise needs a divine fulfillment in one of our problems in the Christian life and will see it in a minute with Abraham is that we look for human ways of fulfilling divine promise. God sees go to save a multitude of people that we could get a multitude in here if the ushers where the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders what you think exactly, but does the church ever do something like that and see their motive is right, but the methodology is wrong.

We think when God gives a promise that he's really saying to be not done figure out how to fulfill it.

But he's not a saint done. There's no way you can fulfill that promise is a promise. It's a miraculous, supernatural, promise you don't get anybody converted by pretty cheerleaders from Dallas, or by having clouds that use group or by giving free candy to kids if they raise their hands to come to Jesus. You see the problem with the promises of God is that they come to us and we cannot fulfill. That's why a lot of people pack it in and say who needs the grief God is asking me to fulfill his promises. First of all, I can't if I could I would need his promises. God is coming to me and to you and to us as a church and saying something that is humanly impossible. It's frankly unbelievable. For example, when God comes to Abraham. He makes a promise in verse 14 he says I'm going to bless you and really bless you, and I'm going to multiply you.

I don't know if you know with the use words come from there. From Genesis chapter 1 the part of the original creation mandate an announcement but the problem is God comes to an old guy who 75 years old and his wife, although she still dropdead gorgeous is 65 and unable to have children and and his name used to be able ran opera a means father Ron means exalted one highly respected in his community constantly says, well, gotta do something about that name that promotes you I would give you name that promotes me because I'm Abraham, which means the father and time Abraham met somebody has to return my name is the father of many, your immediate responses.

How many none that's like a bald guy going out and saying hi my names Gary, this is amazing God supernaturally graciously calls this man and his wife paganism. The idolatry of all the world really is in the world.

All is Babylon and Johnson has to leave his people in his homeland.

Not only was he there for 75 years, but he obviously was somebody and he packs the whole thing up and some you calls and and doesn't even know where is where is going. God's is on tell you when you get there is wife says Abraham will you stop and get directions. And he says no, God will tell us God would tell us he comes to a land called Canaan and he comes to a people that are no people they don't even exist yet others Canaanites parasites and all kinds of bites but there are no people in God comes to him and he says I'm going to make you a fulfiller of the original divine mandate and creation to fill their promise. Now the text says in verse 15, and thus Abraham patiently waited, don't you love the Bible getting patiently wait thousand five I I get an idea they do this in America will get a surrogate mother Abraham. You can have this promised child to a surrogate mother. So they get handmade named Hagar she conceives, and they have a son and everybody lives happily ever after they now from 75 years of age 200 this man patiently waited because God said something that was humanly impossible to do. Only God could do it and then he not only waited patiently, but verse 15 says he obtained the promise and the promise was the joy of their life. In fact, they named him laughter. Isaac well's not exactly a multitude but start with one but there one and done Abraham's an old man. His body is no longer able to produce seed to impregnate a woman, and of course Sarah long gone terms of ovulating producing in a miraculously they have this child and then we don't know for sure how old he is probably in his mid teens can't come stay premises. Now you take that kid to go up that mountain and you sacrifice him, but God is that I couldn't believe in a God like that could you took his son. The son he loved his only son. 90.

He told his wife leaving the servants are going up to the mountain to worship and we and the servants will be back what they get all the way to the mountain. Isaac looks around them done this a thousand times. He says I see the word see the fire. I see everything that we need to sacrifice in our worship.

Where's where's the animal to sacrifice and is Abraham's tying his only begotten son the white son of his love onto the altar uses God will provide. What an amazing amazing God of the promises of God.

The problem with the promises of God are unbelievable. Nobody has that kind of faith to believe that kind of stuff and so what God does in our weakness is what he did to Abraham.

He not only made a promise but then he puts his hand on the Bible.

If I can talk in that language because he couldn't swear by any other because nothing else is greater than him.

He says I God. So help me God will fulfill these promises and so he not only had a promise for the pledge.

He not only had this word from the Lord, but had this solemn oath file that God's promise what's the point of all that. The point is that if you want white walk away from Christ, you have no excuse.

The problem is God.

Isn't it amazing how people who want to put God on trial again is not on trial, but I'm looking for any reason I can to get out of this because it demands mental sweat and energy and fervent prayer and self-discipline and it demands all the things that are not naturally a part of me.

They are no more naturally a part of me than Abraham naturally could produce kid. This has to be supernatural. You read through, not right now… It's getting boring you read through chapter 11, and you see what these people went through some of them stop liens and quench fires somewhere. Cut to some were wandering around in animal skins living in K.

I remember the first time I started to read the book of Fox's book of martyrs. I couldn't read it. The things that the people of God have suffered just because God has made promises and they believe them, and God knows how hard it is and so he not only gives us his promise, which should by any stretch of the imagination be enough but he gives us a note in the pledge as well. And Abraham waited patiently and obtained now, but he didn't wait patiently it's it's it's the same in Romans 48. He didn't struggle with the fact of, although he was impotent, child seated, but you know new Testaments about this about the gospel. There is no record in the New Testament that Abraham or Sarah ever sent not amazing. The God is able to blot out their sin as they struggled and believing with the promise and is it said earlier last night. He does not overlook works of love and joy and effort to serve the people of God and be faithful if you check my father in heaven you'll see in you can pick any age 2 is never terrible to never crazy teenager never senile old man.

I have credited to me the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ what the gospel who would ever thought a sinner like me could be forgiven and there would be no record that all of my sins have been separated me as far as the east is from the Wesley been put in the deepest see this you forget what God is going to put on display is the faithful patient waiting, of his people. That's the problem is to know why people pack it in the get tired of waiting and you know what, waiting is waiting is being willing to take all the time that God is willing to take two answers promises you see I'm not looking at my watch and hope you're not looking at yours and sing God. You better hurry up. I am to be patiently waiting. Waiting patiently and patiently doesn't mean I'm drumming my fingers on no like I sometimes do if my wife isn't quite ready when were supposed to leave, honking the horn I supposed to preach at a church and tell them how patient and loving God is, but I'm just saying you know it's his promise and he will supernaturally accomplish it when he wants.

That's why when you come to the Bible and the gospel. You see the gods very time oriented when were you chose before time began when did Jesus come in the fullness of time when we are drawn to the Savior on at the right time, when will you die will he says there's a divine appointment for every one of us doesn't let me in on it yet. When my time is but everything is on schedule. I have very good friend. He's now with the Lord, and he was going through very struggling time and he said to me one day he said I wouldn't run a train station like the Lord runs the church said all the churches in the train station.

God's ways are way beyond us and he is not asking from for mammals to be set up to head office with that there is there is no box said, saying, we appreciate your comments, insights and no no I saved almost 56 years. He's never once mellowed out and said thanks Don.

I never thought of that.

He usually says what he always says I don't need your input. You just wait patiently now the argument is this, that if Abraham had no excuse for disbelieving the promise.

Neither do you. And I then the analogy he says in verse 16 for people he he's going to argue from the lesser to the greater in the Bible often does that. For example, Jesus in the sermon on the Mount says if you can get to sparrows for order will gotta look after his people worth way more than a couple birds. If God closes the Lily of the Valley looks after his creation looks after his people you not to be anxious as he is arguing from the lesser to the greater, and that's what he's arguing here.

He says even an ordinary life you trust people once they sign on the dotted line for people swear by something greater than themselves in another disputes notice of final confirmation. You know I went in one day we'd live for until I was 50 in the parsonage at 50 we bought a house. I went into the bank. The guy didn't know me from Adam. He gave me $150,000. All I had to do is sign the paper and then he told me you have to give me whatever it was, I forget now, but 500 bucks a month, until this is paid off. I signed the paper, shook his hand and said thank I've never seen him since the house is paid for. We trust people don't we could trust people. Can we not trust God. You see, the fourth room that were in tonight's promise three times verse 13, 15, 17's promise. The promises of God.

You see why we need the warning so you see why they work together because if I don't get rid of the junk that's going to keep me from trusting. I we get converted you come out with your hands up and God comes and begins the patch down in the first few know what is looking for if you're trusting in anything other than Jesus.

Any of your righteousness, your goodness, whatever it might be you diversified your portfolio just in case this Jesus thing doesn't work in the Bible says it's all or nothing you right from the beginning. Give yourself by persevering faith in Jesus Christ for time and eternity and you can trust.

If if if you can trust another human being in a business deal that you can trust God.

By the way, and in the book of Genesis, God himself cut a deal with Abraham to cut a covenant member. They got those animals put them down side of the lane. They were to walk through. That's how you cut deals back and God puts Abraham to sleep and he goes through for both of them Savior and he spits out out keep all of God's side of the deal will keep all of that Abraham cited what the gospel like why would you walk away from this.

Why would you look anywhere else.

Everyone day some Jehovah's Witness came to the door and they wanted to talk to me and I said sure come on in and I said but here's the deal. I said I'm going to give you my testimony and if you have something better than that.

I want to hear. I told them I was a sinner and Jesus save me died on the cross pharmacy not pardoned all my sin. You know what they did. They walked away will what are they going to say what what is it what's the counter offer what you know if you not in so many doors and if you do this. Who knows you might be one of the probably the hundred 44,000 are filled up. You know hopefully things will work out in your thinking. III have a pardon from the King of the universe for time and eternity. I wouldn't trade that in for what couple of box tops from cereal boxes and the tragedy is they believe that in the tragedy is that most of those people who believe that used to go to a Bible believing church that were not to be yourselves. The Bible says that's part of life in this world, but I want to look for people like Abraham, who are persevering to be in okay so we've seen the argument promises come from God and promises can only be fulfilled by God and God promises to keep his promises. All I have to do is patiently wait and in his time. I will obtain some things I got right away. The moment I believed in the fall of 1966 I got a pardon from the king for all of my sin.

The Holy Spirit moved in and took over residence. All of a sudden the Bible made sense at least a little more sense than it did before all of a sudden I love going to church on being with the people of God is just the beginning.

It's been tremendous. The last thing is there's so much more yet to get like one of those game shows you think with the prizes ever stop and the answer of course is no their eternal because they been purchased by the eternal son of God, shedding his blood for his people. You can take that to the bank and we saw the analogy we trust people all the time. Why can't we trust God and then thirdly, the application is a two-sided application. The first side is God okay verse 817.

So when God desired to shore show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with the no and then so that in verse 18 bike two unchangeable things. The two things are the promise and deal sometimes. I promise things to my grandchildren and they don't remember a lot, but they do remember when I promise something can they have an amazing way of kind of turning the promise.

You said you take us to the zoo and I said we each are vegetables all I can remember hearing that. But if I wrote a note inside it with my name and gave it to Bethany. She's got me and God loves to be got the good sense of that word. He loves me to come to him and plead and pray and argue his promises back to him.

You see the deer guy that came to visit me.

He thought that his promises. Weight is under no obligation to keep those problem promises, but he keeps his promises. And you know what accident the problem was good with good old grandpa is I can promise something but I maybe can't keep. Not because I'm trying to deceive kids. Maybe I can afford it.

Maybe I'm getting a little more walking really can walk around the zoo for a day and 1/2.

Whatever it might be, but notice what it says here, God isn't capable of lying and possibles.

The very same word that we saw on Roman and not Hebrew six verse four. God is capable of flying you know that God couldn't lie even if he wanted to. I member when I was a young Christian, they would ask is is is her things that God can't do. For example, can God create a math problem.

He can't solve or can God make a rock so big that he can't lift lift. In the course the answer to those things is no that's piece a cake with him. But when you get to his character. That's a different thing. His DNA. I don't think he has DNA but his DNA is wired to always tell the truth and to accomplish what he said he would. That's why Hebrews 11 says without faith it is impossible to please God and by faith we believe that God created the world out of nothing. You know, God doesn't need anything to fulfill his promises. You know he came to an elderly lady old man and he can see and bore a son, and if you think that something 2000 years later he'll come to a teenage virgin who has never known a man and show conceive and have a son you know that he was able and Mount Moriah to come and just at the right moment. Abraham stop and they heard the bleeding of the animal in the bushes may substitute. And you know 2000 years later when God's only begotten beloved son was on the cross. There was no way to stop he died yet three days later he was raised from the dead and 40 days later, he was received back into heaven, and there is someone doddering guy up there was 2000 years old. Not even sure where he is in no all the son of God micromanages universe for the glory of his father and for the good. You know he doesn't get anybody mixed up who they are, what they done what they should do you know that every day. Every event down to the rising and falling of the son is for the sake of Jesus Christ. Everything every drop of rain will be no more rain than what is pleasure, the Lord Jesus Christ. What a Savior. God is kept his promises. And the neat thing is that there's a bunch more to be This bunch more to be My birthdays in April and my parents would give me presence of April but birthday was never like Christmas by.

That's when the stuff really came you know the stuff in the good sense of that word is coming. We just have to cross the river don't we.

Until then we wait patiently so from God side.

All he has to do is keep his word.

Will he do it as he never not kept his word. No, he never will. It is impossible for him to not like us that he couldn't lie. If he wanted to and the second application is on our side we in verse 18 who fled for refuge so that we might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us know the encouragement is it in me, and I'm really ripped and got lots of muscles that I can hold tight encouragement is what God is doing what he's done what he's promised to do what he is doing as he fulfills his promise and you know before this is over there to be people from every people group in the church of Jesus Christ. And that's one thing to save millions and millions of sinners. And what's more astounding. There's a day coming when he'll present all of us faultless before the father and he would do it with great joy in one sense were going to be his bride. In another sense were going to be his children here mind the children you've given me. Do you know there's a day coming when I will never doubt I will need faith.

I will see him face to face time with Jesus Christ forever and ever and ever and ever. What a gospel is just saying.weight. I know there's pain.

I know there's heartache.

I know there's something which you know the good thing about the gospel.

Everything that used to be a curse.

Even has been turned into a blessing and on the Disney programs doesn't look good. There is is pretty girl who looks kinda haggard and she is in no cleaning up the senders or whatever it might be and I doesn't look promising ugly stepsisters.

The publicans of these mixed up. But God is but you know the good fairy takes the pumpkin and turns it into a chair in a couple of white rats and beautiful horses and of course the real kicker.

Some warty looking frog turned into a handsome prince, and of course they live happily ever after.

Don't think sleeping beauty. I don't know how long she slept wakes up doesn't have bad breath kisses the prince and it's amazing. But God doesn't work like that and that's what we would like him to know that God keeps the pumpkin pumpkin in the rats. Rats, frogs, frogs, and he blesses us. He takes everything that once was a curse and now I uses it as a blessing to sanctifies people when you grown the most everyone is a Jew believer knows I grew much more in the trials than quote the blessings when you pray best. I say prayers all the time. You know what I pray best when it's tough when Providence seems to be contradicting the promises of God. And when I'm tempted to read the promises in light of the Providence.

God always comes back to me by his word and says no.that the spectacles are the promises you interpret your confidence by the promises and were always trying to think that while the warnings contradict the promises in the Providence of God contradicts no no not even close in all he wants me to do is hold on fast hold on fast and I'm to hold on fast in the light of the whole that is set before me before us. This is a great houses and 6 Hebrews Ln. I come here often. There's times I need a kick in the pants and the warnings do that know there's many times you just need to be encouraged and need to say all press on Don what you're seeing is not the truth. What you're reading is and you not to look at this, but the feeble eye of sight, but also by the ever-increasing eye of faith in you. Remember you remember you remember that God uses nothing naturally in this he doesn't need a certain president to be sitting in the White House.

He doesn't need this or that or the other.

He raises up Nebuchadnezzar Osiris whoever it might his servants and they don't even know if he is fulfilling his purposes that are unchangeable, immutable, they cannot change.
