Bargain: Deceived Or Rescued, Has Evil Prevailed.

BARGAIN: DECEIVED OR RESCUED?… HAS EVIL PREVAILED?

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHAT IS COMING ON THIS WORLD? COME ON LET’S MAKE A DEAL? I PICK CURTAIN 3 --- THE GIFT BEHIND CURTAIN 3 IS CHAOS, CRISIS, PANIC, COMMOTION, WARS, RUMORS OF WARS, EARTHQUAKES, FAMINES, PESTILENCE, FEAR, WORRY, DEEP ANXIETY OVER WHAT IS HAPPENING IN FRONT OF OUR EYES… THIS WILL KILL OUR JOY, STRENGTH, FAITH, CONFIDENCE AND TRUST… WHAT KIND OF BARGAIN WILL WE SETTLE TO RECEIVE?

Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

GOD OPEN OUR EYES TO ETERNITY… I BRING HEALING AND HOPE… GOD HAS NEVER BEEN CAUGHT OFF GUARD…

2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

*JEHOVAH-JIREH --- GOD THE PROVIDER!

*JEHOVAH-RAPHE --- GOD THAT HEALS!

*JEHOVAH-SHALOM --- THE GOD OF GREAT PEACE AND TRUST,

LOOKING FOR A BARGAIN?THE WORLD SAYS YOUR GOD AND YOUR FAITH CAN NEVER HELP YOU… COME TO ME YOU LOSER, I HAVE A BARGAIN TO OFFER YOU… HAS EVIL REALLY PREVAILED? LET’S MAKE A DEAL? I WILL BET YOU ARE A LOSER! HAS EVIL PREVAILED? HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE WORD OF MOUTH?

Many have made the claim that: EVIL HAS PREVAILED. Christians have lost the battle and lost the war? The world mocks us… The KING OF ASSYRIA mocks the Preacher.

Isaiah 36:8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

EVIL WILL PREVAIL? … Be reasonable. We have defeated everyone in the way. Face the facts: My master the king of Assyria will give you two thousand horses if you can put riders on them. EVIL WILL PREVAIL?

DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT OLD FASHIONED, CRAZY PREACHER… HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES OF WAR.

Isaiah 36:16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye everyone the waters of his own cistern;

SEEMS EVERYONE CAN PERCEIVE EVIL WILL PREVAIL… WE DON’T HAVE A CHANCE… IS A LIE.

Isaiah 37:3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

IT MAY SEEM THAT EVIL WILL PREVAIL --- BUT NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF TRUSTING GOD AND PRAYING…

HEZEKIAH DOES NOT HAVE TO SCREAM AND HOLLER FOR GOD TO HEAR HIM… ALL HEZEKIAH HAS TO DO IS BELIEVE THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL AND GOD CAN…

Isaiah 37:17 Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God. 18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, 19 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

IT MAY SEEM TO THE EYES, FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS THAT FEAR AND ANXIETY MAY PREVAIL, BUT TRUSTING GOD RELEASES PRAYER AND FAITH AND GOD SHOWS HIMSELF STRONG…

Isaiah 37:36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

WHILE ANXIETY, FEAR AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES SEEM TO DEFINE EVIL HAS PREVAILED… HEZEKIAH DID NOT NEED 2,000 HORSES… FEAR AND WORRY ALWAYS LOSE WHEN FAITH LAUNCHES INTO TRUSTING GOD…

Isaiah 37:38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED… FEAR, WORRY AND ANXIETY WILL KILL THE SPIRITUAL TRUST IN THE WORD OF GOD…

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
