How To Explain…?

Prayer – Lord - I recognize that You are more powerful than I can imagine. Your strength is sufficient. How can I explain to others Your power, strength, knowledge, creativity, and most of all…Your love? Please give me guidance, wisdom, and knowledge to honor You. 

Pray--as a sign posted in Jerusalem
Is peace for Israel part of God's plan?

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God's mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Ephesians 6:18-19

 

Meditate. Consider God’s plan.

 

Have you ever wondered how to explain God’s plan? Do you confidently know what God’s plan is for us all? He has hidden a plan within the Bible that in order to fully understand Him, we must search and seek His wisdom and His word. How can we understand God’s mystery unless He explains it to us? I think that is why it is important to study His word—to dig as deeply into the Bible as possible.

Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother's womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things. Ecclesiastes 11:5

Paul wrote to the church at Corith about God’s mystery.

No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets. No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. 1 Corinthians 2:7-12

The mystery is the Gospel—the Good News—that Jesus Christ was the sacrificed for the sin of all mankind. This sacrifice by Jesus allows us not only to be reconciled with God, but to become part of His holy and eternal family. What an awesome privilege to be allowed to be part of God’s family. Pray in the spirit about that. The day is coming when God’s plan will come to fruition. The Book of Revelation give more details about the implementation of God’s plan. I’m sure there are plenty of things that will happen that we won’t understand until the time comes. Just know that God loves us and has an intentional purpose for our lives. 

When the seventh angel blows his trumpet, God's mysterious plan will be fulfilled. It will happen just as he announced it to his servants the prophets." Revelation 10:7

The crucial point is within each person that God has created. Will he or she accept what God has prepared for them? Are they willing to repent and turn from their selfish ways? He does require that. I’ve taken that step and have been spiritual awakened. I’m ready to hear that trumpet call and head home to Heaven whenever God is ready for me! How about you?

 

Verse of Salvation ~ As for us, we can't help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation--a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
