Jesus and the Spirit of Prophecy
Before I begin, I must repent before the Lord for not believing in His purpose for my life when I am in troubled times. God proves to be the Promise Maker and Keeper. God did this for Jesus our forerunner and High Priest. Jesus said to us, “as the Father has sent me, so I send you.” John 20:21
Jesus’ life was based on prophesy,
“Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,” Psalm 40:7
Almost every aspect of Jesus’ life found in the Old Testament form the details of His birth to His burial. While reading scripture in memory of Him during Passover, Holy Spirit opened my eyes to see how the least of man’s dealing, the trial of Jesus, synchronized with scripture as the divine plan unfolded. From how many times Peter would deny Jesus, to lots being cast for His clothes (Psalm 22:8).
As an onlooker unaware of scripture, events would seem normal, but God’s Sovereignty reveals itself in all things.
Where was Satan in all this?
Accomplishing evil while God works it out for His good. Satan would have to work contrary to His nature to defeat God. Killing Jesus provided Salvation for the whole world. Keeping Him alive would disannul the promise in Genesis 3:15 of “crushing the serpents head.” Jesus descended to hell to take “the keys of hell and death” from Satan. Rev.1: 18 Hallelujah!!!
God our Father has a purpose in all things and a purpose for all His creations. Scripture encourages us to “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” Philippians 2:12.
There comes a moment of advancement in a child of God’s life when we need to know which decision to make. Not only that God the Holy Spirit has promised many of his children gifts and callings. The word tells us, “for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Romans 11: 29. This means God doesn’t change His mind when it comes to giving gifts to his children.
We have the opportunity to read about the call to greatness of Joseph, Joshua, and even David. And I’m using Jesus as the ultimate example. There are so many struggles and trials in life that the question pops up, “Will God’s prophesies over our lives as His children come through?” Yes. God is the Promise Maker and Keeper.
I repented because being an unbeliever almost killed me, but God’s promise kept me alive. I will see the promise. The obstacles we see are our inadequacies. Gideon and Moses saw their inadequacies, however, they moved forward in faith, because God is the Boss. Wow, I fear, because I’ve listened to messages about trusting a big God.
I’m not quite done. “God works in us to do His good pleasure” Philippians 2:13 There is a work God is doing in all His children. Why will God stop working in you and me? Faith comes from the word. Paul says all things work together for good. If Paul had known we would be reading his letters as scripture who knew what he would do differently. He would probably say “lock me up some more don’t let me out of prison I have another lesson to write for centuries to come.”
Paul wrote us words he lived. As he looks from heaven, he’ll be wowed and think, ‘that’s why I was locked up so much, so the gentiles across the world will read my letters and I thought I was only writing to Corinth.”
Therefore the prophecies over our lives are AMEN. There are many teachings on dreams dying and unfulfilled words. That is not for you as God’s child. Because I’m here to encourage you to place your eyes on God. You will complete the prophecy with your eyes on Him alone.
Jesus’ last words were to His Father, who He could see no more as He died for our sins. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me.” His eyes were on him till He saw Him no more.
