Guest Biblicist Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Was what happened Tuesday God's will? I am quite confident it was not. That's where he lost me. Nothing happens outside the scope of God's Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite confident it was not. That's where he lost me. Nothing happens outside the scope of God's Will. The will of the people is what we got. The will of God is what we ignored. God's will is for us to accept and follow Him Son, yet most chose not to. God promises rewards for obedience and punishments for disobedience. All unrepentant sinners are outside of God's will. Christians who ignore the will of God are outside His will. But, you know this, Biblicist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite confident it was not. That's where he lost me. Nothing happens outside the scope of God's Will. I believe the reference was to God's "perfect will" versus His "permissive will" . . . God gives the people the leaders they deserve. Shiloh, I know we often do not see on the same level, but I have tremendous respect and admiration for your love of God and His word and His people. I wholeheartedly offer my "Amen" to your OP and am jealous for you as a brother/warrior of the Kingdom. May God continue to use you beyond the scope of your own awareness.

I have a book by Dutch Sheets on Intercession and is a good read as well. I have been wondering when the Church would start to stand up and be counted. Here's one for the first volley. Like Mel Gibson in Braveheart, I believe this man has just decided to go and pick a fight. May he be blessed for standing up to Goliath. Don't go home just yet because the fight has just gotten started. Peace, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite confident it was not. That's where he lost me. Nothing happens outside the scope of God's Will. Many things happen outside of God's will. We have sovereignty over our own wills and He will not violate that in us. The church has missed out on making her voice heard. That is diue to our will, and not God's. God's influence has to be INVITED. He only workd through people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Alan Keys ran I would have voted for him in a New York minute. In my heart I knew McCain would loose, the love of many is growing cooler by the hour. I see this election as a turning point for our nation and I too am saddened. However I firmly believe that all the duckies are being lined up for a greater purpose. I'm not saying someone is the anti Christ but I am saying I'm watching the fig tree...the season is changing. With that shift in place I'm excited and hopeful as HIS daughter. We are living in some amazing times and will see many changes yet to come, all to fulfill the will of G-d. I hope many will join me in continued prayer for our new President.

Guest Biblicist Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 There were believers who prayed for McCain to win. There were believers who prayed for Obama to win. There were believers who prayed for God's Will to be done [i was one of those]. I wonder if God sits up there and rolls dice...."Hmmm, who's prayers should I answer this time?"

Now, what are you going to do? Will you chose to obey me or will you chose what you think is good for yourself?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
