How To Overcome The Drama In Your Life

See, one of the great things about God is that He hasn’t kept the end of the story a secret.

He isn’t like one of those Hollywood screenwriters who keep the whole thing secret until it’s time to show the movie. No He wants us to see the big picture. He wants us to know that He wins, and so do we, if you’re in Christ.

So we need to remember don’t take Christ out of your drama...

There are many passages in the Bible that tell us this. Not in those exact words but the meaning is the same,,,say yes ,,,yes

And I don’t have time to go over them all today, but I do want to touch on a few of them.

There are three things we need to realize here. First of all, Satan had to ask. That tells us that God is in control. He is sovereign, all mighty, all-powerful, and He is still on the throne...

And there is nothing that happens without Him knowing about it and allowing it...

Now,,, Now let me explain this really quickly. God has a perfect will ,,, and a permissive will..... God’s perfect will was for man to never have sinned,,, and for the fellowship between man and God to remain intact...

Yes,,, God’s perfect will is for all men to be saved. However God’s permissive will is where God doesn’t necessarily approve of something and yet He allows it to happen any way....

My point is that God is in control, and Satan has to ask permission before he does anything...

And what Satan intends for evil, God can work it out for our good.

The second thing we need to realize is that Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith. Notice what He said to Peter, ,,,

When you have returned, not if you return. I once witnessed to a person who told me that they couldn’t be saved because they had sold their soul to the devil...(My God ,,,My God) And I told that person that his soul wasn’t his to sell... He looked at me kind of funny,,, so I went on to explain to him that as a Christian we have been bought with a price.... The blood of Jesus has redeemed our souls from hell.... I then told him that if he wasn’t a Christian then his soul already belonged to the devil... You see,,, there’s no middle ground.,,,

As Christians we have been redeemed, bought back. We are not our own, Jesus bought us away from our old master.. And then Jesus placed his seal of ownership on us, called the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:30 tells us that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit for the day of redemption.... And when you become a Christian Jesus becomes ,,, the author,,, and finisher ,,,of your faith.

The Bible also tells us in Romans 8:34 that Jesus is at this very moment ,,, is making intercession for us at the right hand of the Father. Just like He did for Simon Peter, Jesus is praying for us. And that’s the third point we need to understand. If God be for us, who can be against us? Did you know that Jesus never prayed a prayer that wasn’t answered? And not only is Jesus praying for us, but Romans 8:26 tells us that the Holy Spirit also makes intercession for us. Now just think about this for a second.. We have two members of the Godhead, two members of the Holy Trinity praying and interceding for us. If that doesn’t make you happy then I don’t know what will...
