The world will not go on as it always has forever. Jesus will intervene!

God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods. Psalm 82 NKJV
 
God has not gone away. He judges the powerful when they abuse the authority He gives them. His justice will prevail.
 
How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah
Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked. Vs 2-4
 
The Psalmist accuses judges of corruption and injustice. He exhorts them to rule in righteousness. He confronts them with their true calling, to meet the needs of God’s people.
 
They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable. Vs 5
 
The blind led the blind in antiquity. Their ears were stopped up by arrogance. Their eyes blinded by pride. The desire for more power made the world unstable and unsafe.
 
I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes. Vs 6-7
 
Royalty were often considered gods in antiquity. They were not. The Psalmist reminds them they were created by God. They will die as all people do!
 
God has not gone away. He rules over heaven and earth. He judges the elite when they abuse their power. He sees evil deeds done in secret.
 
Our leaders corrupt justice. Even those with clean hands and hearts put politics and ideology over the needs of people. God wants them to turn back to their true calling. Representing Him on the earth. Meeting the needs of people. Confronting evil and fighting for righteousness!
 
Wisdom comes from the Word of God. Most power brokers do not believe in the God of the bible. Their wisdom is found in whatever produces a harvest of profit and power.
 
Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations. Vs 8
 
The world will not go on as it always has. God will intervene. Old things will pass away. All things will be made new. Righteousness will illuminate the shadows. Peace and justice will replace sorrow and sadness!
 
Jesus wants you to turn back to your true calling. Represent Him on the earth. Meet the needs of His people. Confront evil in prayer. Fight for righteousness through obedience to the Word of God. Worship Jesus in the congregation of the redeemed!

    ​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!
