I love God’s sovereignty! All the trolling and stalking by my hater fan base (as well as my lovely readership’s support) has increased this blog’s exposure and visibility to help us reach a new audience worldwide. They’ve helped in my mission….to spread the word about The Word!! Thanks guys. You know who you are! 🙂
In all seriousness though, just think about that for a moment – really think about the fact that no matter who or what is against you, if God is truly for you – if what you are pursuing, standing for, preaching about is truly His Will…then all the forces of hell combined with all the odds of the world could conspire to stand against you…and not only will it come to nothing, God will actually TURN them around and use them to bless you…oh yes he will!! As He is the sovereign King. All things are under his power and control. All things, good, bad and indifferent are available to Him. And he has a knack for flipping things upside down, for grabbing a curse mid air that was being hurled against you and transforming it into a blessing, so that you and everyone around you can see the goodness, mercy and glory of our God!
“Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it.” 1 Peter 3:9
“If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans 8:18-39
