WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: NEW THING

Many atheists will say that the word of God cannot be true because it contradicts itself. What is a contradiction is in the understanding not in the word itself. Today I want to discuss two concepts that seem to be in conflict with one another but once we understand the meaning is very clear.

Is 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

It is exciting to think about God doing a new thing. But then there is the verse that says there is nothing new.

Eccl 1:9-10 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

These seem to contradict one another. The nothing new under the sun I have come to realize that we are fighting against the same spirits that they fought in bible times. Just because the prophets of Baal were killed after God sent fire down from heaven, doesn’t mean that Baal worship was wiped out completely.

Until recently I was ignorant about idols. I thought they were just statues that people created and said, this is my God. I will do this as a ritual, and I will burn incense to it.  But in all reality, these statues have evil spirits attached to them.

Baal worship exists today. (There is nothing new under the sun). The false god Moloch and Chinu, found in Amos chapter five, are behind the abortion movement around the world today. People are still sacrificing babies to these gods. Some religions of the world that people think are good are controlled by evil spirits. (nothing new under the sun)

Our God answered with fire on Mt Carmel for Elijah. He parted the Red Sea to save his people from the evil that was Egypt. Today we are fighting the same evil. But God has a plan to draw his people back to him once again. The new thing he will do is to work things out for our good in this time. The new thing is instead of literal fire on a mountain top, he will pour out his Holy Ghost fire to prove he is God.

He will not part the Red Sea to allow us to cross because we are not physically leaving a place of slavery, but will bring about supernatural deliverance in other ways, from the bondage we have been under in our society. Something new. God used what the children of Israel went thru to not only show them that he was their God. But he used the plagues to show the Egyptians that he was a God that was above all their gods.

Make no mistake, we are about to see the wrath and the mercy of God. What you experience on a personal level will depend on if you are openly evil or if  you are a follower of Christ.

In summary, God has shown up in supernatural ways in the past. When he shows up in supernatural ways today it is not new to him, but is new to our generation. I for one am excited to see what God is going to do to set us free.

Continue to pray for our country and the nations around the world. Pray for the children that are being abused at the hands of traffickers. May they all soon be set free.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
