When a Man’s hand does the will of the Father that Man’s name is written in the Book of Life”- The Spirit of God – (September 14th 2018)
- The Holy Spirit is our teacher.
- All revelation concerning Gods written word is found in the scripture.
- All questions for the sake of salvation are welcome.
To some the thought of this question might seem elementary at first glance, because the answer to them is quite easy. What does it mean to be in God’s hands? Well, it means you’re protected, provided for, and taken care off when it comes to your health, wealth, and salvation. This statement is true however these are some of the outcomes the derives because of anyone that belong to God that are in His hands.
Today we are not looking at the outcome or the effects of being in God’s hands. The Question is simple “What does it mean to be in God’s hands?
Proverbs 20:5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
How could anyone want God to provide protection, health, wealth, and salvation which are some of God’s given effects because of being in his hand. How could we desire these things without ever understanding what does it mean to be in God’s hand?
To be given into God’s hands is different from falling into God’s hands. The purpose of the first is for salvation and latter is for judgment.
Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Jesus makes it perfectly clear what is means to fall into the hands of the living God
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Psalms 76:7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
However, being place in God’s hands is quite different. The purpose of this bible study is to understand what it means to be placed in God’s Hand.
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
In fact, many would argue that Jesus was only speaking about his eleven disciples not being lost and one which was Judas the son of perdition was lost. When in fact John 17:12 reflects everyone that being placed in God hands shares this reality.
John 10:14-16 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Jesus said in verse 16 “other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one-fold,” he is referring to both the children of Israel and all those who hear his voice and believe even us the sheep which is not of the fold Israel but are chosen by God. Jesus goes on to say in
John 10:27-28 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
In John 10:18 Jesus says, “neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” If you have a study bible you will notice that the word man is in italics. This means this word man was inserted by bible scholars to complete the sentence. This is how that verse would read without the word man
John 10:27-28 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.
Jesus said neither shall any pluck them out of my hands. The word any means anything or anyone. No devil, no bad dream, no witchcraft, no black magic, no angel, no independent thought, no wicked or unreasonable man, no female, nothing operating outside of God’s will. Jesus clearly said “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand” we must understand This is a guaranteed entrance into the kingdom of Heaven.
Let us not be ignorant, those that God has kept in his hand all knows that the problem is choice. Therefore, they operate not by their will but by the will of Jesus Christ. << See teaching on The Will of God>>
However, Being in God’s hands has it cost, Jesus teaching this in
Luke 14:25-33 25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Jesus is about to let the multitudes know that there is a cost that comes with putting God’s will first, putting God’s purpose, plan, voice and all understanding first above everything and everyone we know
Therefore, Jesus said if any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, even sister and his own life also, cannot be my disciple. When we are made to be a disciple of Christ and understand the cost of becoming one. Then and only then we will find ourselves in the hands of God. Where no one can pluck you out.
The teaching Jesus taught was a warning he said when you put him first your father, mother, wife, children, friends, even your sister that do not know Christ will hate you and would not understand you. They will even view you as if you hate them also. Why? because you refuse to follow their will, their ideas about life, their religion instead you are brainwashed by a so-called pastor. You see being in christ may disturb some of our family and friends comfort zone. Let us see what more Jesus has said as we continue
Luke14:28-33 – 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Today as we all look round the world soon enough you will notice that being is the hand of God my seem to be not a popular thing. Pretty soon churches will be divided into Vaccines compliant churches and non-Vaccine compliant churches. Fostering the idea that we should hate one another. Eventually they will seek to make laws against conversion its laws to ban the spreading of the gospel suggesting That we ought to respect other religions these things is not new. The day would come when they would imprison those who dear to preach Jesus Christ to convert those that are lost or sick. They will Turn church members against their Pastors and Pastors against noncompliant members. Why? Because call they are the called ones. The ones called by God. Citing Romans 13 “ God has given you rulers and government to rule over you” therefore u must accept us.
Let us understand that the cost of being in Christ has it’s benefits eternal life
John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Those who will be God’s disciples, to bear their cross must take account beforehand, lest with shame they revolt from the will of God unconsciously being transformed in to wolf. *the wolf in the bible are sinners those who reject God*
Glory to God!!
