Hid In Christ

PLEASE read listed verses.

Prov.22:3. By the Word of God, and often by material example, we can foresee the evil. We are counted prudent if we take the steps needed to avoid it. E.g., Luke 13:3; Acts 17:31; Eph.5:5-6. God's Word often warns of the results of sin and wickedness.

As believers we are "hid" in Christ, from the evil. Col.3:3. Christ is THE prudent, wise Man. In Him, God has set before us blessings and promises of His goodness. Through faith, we can foresee the GOOD and enter into it. E.g., Rev.22: 14. Then can you foresee the good through Mt.6:33? And 2 Pet.2:24; Mt. 7:7-9; Mark 11:23-24? Ad infinitum.

Now we can enter into the good, (for example 2 Cor. 9:6-11). But we must beware that we do not "hide" ourselves from the good, through unbelief or neglect.

By doing the Word of God, through faith, we can rise up enough to "see" over the horizons of circumstances and foresee what's going to occur in our future!

Born again believers should read and believe Jude 20 and Titus 2:11.

15. Then we can foresee one of the greatest moments of God's power and glory. It will be the greatest glory possible before eternity! 1 Cor. 15:57. THIS is the "blessed hope": THIS is the "glorious appearing".

We can foresee other good things in God's Word. Such as His grace, love, power, and peace.

We should beware that worry and unbelief doesn't make us foresee only evil. If we do that, we may be unable to foresee the good that God has spoken, as in Phil. 4:19. Foreseeing the good that God has promised strengthens us. It helps us and gives us courage. Note Psalms 34:4-6. That's the good that we should foresee.

Thus, the wisdom of God instructs us, so that Mt. 6:33 may work for us. God calls us heirs (Rom.8:17), sons (1 John 3:1-2), and beloved, Phil. 2:12. Shall He renege on His promises? NO!

Therefore, we have peace, assurance and provisions with God's blessings. Prov. 10:22; John 8:12. Are you encouraged to follow Jesus and do His Word? Will you affirm that to Him; praying His mercy and grace to help you? Will you so live as to LET His comforts delight your soul? Take a look at Psa.94:18-19.

You see, if we will come to Jesus, and commit to follow Him, then Hebrews 7:25 applies to us. Glory to God!

FACT VERSES.

"Fact Verses" are facts which are stated in the Bible. They aren't always promises. They're conditions that God and Christ have caused and established, without human contribution. Jesus stated this premise in Acts 1:7.

The FACT is that Jesus is our peace. Eph.2:14.

The FACT is that His blood can purge our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Heb. 9 :14.

The FACT is that whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.

The FACT is that He is going to appear the second time without sin. Heb. 9:28.

The FACT is that Jesus shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel. 1 The. 4:16.

The FACT is that God gives us the victory over death and the grave. 1 Cor. 15:57.

God wants us, His children on the earth, to pray for governmental authorities and for all that are responsible for social quietness. 1 Tim.2:1-4.

I am sure that the above Scripture applies to individuals. I especially believe that it applies to church groups. The reason is Mt.18:19.

The Scripture shows that there are evil spirits and powers that affect life on planet earth. They ever strive to make governments do their will. They succeed too much of the time, in too many ways.

It is possible for believers to affect their efforts, because Jesus gave us His Name and authority to do it. Luke 10:17-19.

Let me ask YOU: "DO you pray in the way that the above Scripture states"?

Our nation NEEDS all the advantages which our prayers CAN give. PRAY!

I love you.
