FRIDAY NUGGETS
ALREADY DONE OR PENDING
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to Friday Nuggets. This week I am discussing whether the days of our lives are done or still in the making. Please take a moment before we proceed to share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you for sharing. You have a vital role in helping this ministry spread the gospel, you are fulfilling a vital role in the Kingdom of God. Now let’s proceed into today’s teaching.
There are those that believe all things from God’s perspective are contemporaneous (coexistent, simultaneous). Many say that God already knows the future, not just His overarching agenda, Prophetic Agenda, but all of the decisions of our individual lives that we have not yet made. Is that true? Does the Bible teach this? Is the future knowable in detail even to God? Is the God of all hope (Romans 15:13) also the God of no hope? Does He continue to offer hope (salvation) to those He knows are destined for Hell as a way of being just and leaving them with no excuse? Let’s look at two scriptures that may lead to that thinking, that conclusion.
Isaiah 46:10 (KJV)
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
What end has God declared from the beginning? Is He declaring the end of this creation or is He talking about the details and end of each of our individual lives? The Bible clearing spells out the course and end of this creation but what about our individual lives. Are the details and end of our individual lives already determined with the majority of people already determined for Hell? What about the following verse?
Psalm 139:16 (TLB)
16 You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!
Who chooses if we will walk in the day God has prepared for us, Him or each of us individually? Is He controlling all things in our lives? What about His delegated authority to us, the giving of the Blessing, and our freewill?
Psalm 69:28 (KJV)
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
It seems that the very possibility of being blotted out means one was in the book to start but by their choices not His they were blotted out.
Revelation 3:5 (KJV)
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Who determines if you or I overcome? Here again we see it is possible to have our names in the book of life and have it blotted out. Whose choice? Seems the evidence is overwhelming it is our choice. God has a wonderful plan for each and every person, however, it is totally up to each of us as to how much of it we taste.
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Not here and nowhere else does the Scripture say that the plan of God for us is imposed upon us giving us no choice. We, and we alone, choose. We are indeed freewill creations. True love (agape) is not possible without choice. Just like you and me, God wants people, children, who choose to love Him and partake with Him in a life of abundance of all things beyond our current imaginations. Consider the following two verses.
Deuteronomy 30:15 (KJV)
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Does He say I have already chosen for you or is it left in our court?
Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
The choice is ours, each and every one of us chose our present and future. Our future is yet to be written; we chose. God has a wonderful plan which we can walk in or rebel against going our own way. God certainly knows all of the possibilities and probabilities of our lives and uses many things to help us choose life, to choose the blessing, however, in the end we choose. God is not choosing who walks in the curse and who goes to Hell, each of us make that decision with full knowledge. Listen to the Master. Who is making the choice to believe on Jesus?
John 3:17-18 (KJV)
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Romans 1:20 (KJV)
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
This is good news dear ones, everyone of us can change our lives coming to a higher plain in Him today!
Lord willing, I will return next Friday with revelations nuggets from the very Throne of God.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Receive the blessing in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
25 GOD smile on you and gift you,
26 GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
