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.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
May I remind you that we need not worry or be anxious ABOUT ANYTHING!
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Why should we worry, be anxious or fret about the little stuff. God has this under His control. If it is over our head, it is under His feet! If you pray you don't have to fret or worry. If you don’t pray and trust God you better worry. As you praise God you will open the doors to the heart of God.
Don't let your eyes, your heart or your emotions misled you. EVIL WILL NEVER PREVAIL. Faith and trust always win. You all lacking in faith if you think someone is going to make God look like a fool. If a person sows worry, fear and distrust of God’s plan he will harvest bad stuff. The person that ignores God’s plan will reap discouragement, fear, trouble and heartaches.
Troubles and trials will grow more doubt, fear and discouragement if you don’t correct your attitude. The person who trusts God’s plan and praises His Holy name will release God's Spirit to do a faith work in our daily walk. Sow fear? Why?
Doubt, fear, listening to the negative spies will release a spiritual weakness and we will walk in daily fatigue and you will have a quitting spirit. God says: NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER QUIT. If we TRUST God’s plan we can never give up or quit.
It is high time we let God arise….
Psalm 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered:.
CONCLUSION: Are we yielding to fear, worry and anxiety? We must never allow the satanic plan to deceive and lie to our spirit person. Do not be deceived, EVIL CAN NEVER PREVAIL. We must guard our hearts, we cannot lose heart in doing good. We must never listen to the negative I CAN’T. Fear will always cause us to GROW WEARY.
WE LIVE IN A DAY OF EYE SIGHT, EMOTIONS that will cause us to accept the lies of this world. Your eyes can bring a distorted view that the enemy is in control… I have heard people say this week that EVIL HAS PREVAILED… that is a lie and a distortion of the truth. Nothing is hidden from God. God keeps good records. Judgment will absolutely come.
GOD SPARED NOT THE ANGELS, GOD NEVER SPARED THE ANCIENT WORLD, GOD NEVER SPARED SODOM AND GOMORRAH --- GOD KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE AND JUDGE THE WICKED.
God has torn down the sports gods and left empty stadiums. God has torn down the god of finances and Wall Stree., God is tearing down the political systems that we leaned on too much. God is shaking the foundation of the music industry. God has shown His power to the entertainment business by closing the theaters. And there is a shaking of false prophets and religious institutions. COME TO THE FEET OF JESUS IS THE INVITATION.
I TRUST THE PLAN OF GOD AND FIND GREAT COMFORT IN 2 PETER 2: 9…
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:

WE NEED TO EVALUATE: IS THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING?
