Jesus is not sleeping, He will prosper you in ways you cannot imagine today!

If you would earnestly seek God and make your supplication to the Almighty, If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awaken for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place. Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly. Job 8:5-7 NKJV
 
Job’s friend Bildad urges him to repent. Like Eliphaz he speaks of God’s justice. Like Job and Eliphaz he believes God always blesses the righteous and punishes the wicked.
 
We should all repent or turn from wickedness and embrace righteousness. God is just in all His dealings with us. The Lord does bless the righteous and punish wickedness. God’s ways are very different than ours!
 
The days before Jesus returns will be wicked. Depravity will be unbridled. People will commit all manner of evil and call it good. The devil will tighten his grip upon the world. Satan will lash out at God’s people. Evil will be in full bloom for a short period of time.
 
People who love Jesus and trust Him will be blessed. If we call on God He will answer. The answers may not come right away. Then suddenly as if the Lord was roused from a slumber Jesus will answer with blessing and prosperity of spirit!
 
The place where we prosper will not be built by human hands. Jesus is preparing it for us. As if roused from a deep sleep He will appear suddenly and come riding on the clouds to take us home.
 
We were born in sin and iniquity. Our lives are spent in a land that is not our home. We are surrounded by evil and injustice. In our Heavenly Father’s house we will be surrounded by true love. We will spend eternity in perfection and the beauty of holiness!
 
It is wrong to believe only evil people suffer. Godly people are not always blessed the way we expect.
 
There are many evil people who appear to prosper. God is allowing them the freedom to choose how they live and where they spend eternity. There are many Godly people suffering. God has not abandoned them. Goodly people will spend eternity with Jesus!
 
Israel has suffered more than any nation or people ever have. God has protected them and blessed them more than any other people. They are His. God loves them.
 
All people who call on the Name of the Lord are the people of God. He loves us. He is calling us to trust Him more than ever before. The days are growing darker by the hour. When Jesus returns will He find faith upon the earth? Yes, He will. We will be here!
 
Do not judge God by your circumstances. If the Lord could take us out of this fallen world and still carry out His perfect plan for creation He would. Seek Jesus and you will find Him. Follow Jesus and He will teach you His ways!
 
Jesus will prosper you in ways you cannot comprehend. Wait in faith. Jesus is faithful!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
