OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

[Margaret Wright]

	OUR GOD IS AWESOME We are going to see how important it is to work with God. First, let us   take a glimpse of our awesome God! The following words from a book I was glancing through inspired me and I   saw how awesome our God is! Let me reproduce the reply given by Dr. Eli   Mordechai to Jon Bennet in the Book THE LAST DAYS as written by Joel   Rosenburg - “No, no. Not just God. A God Who is at war with evil. A God Who has a plan   and a purpose. A God Who has the awesome, fearsome power to achieve that plan   and accomplish that purpose.” He went on to say, “Jonathan, I have spent my whole life lurking in the   shadows, cultivating sources, paying off informants, desperately hoping I   would find my enemies before they found me. Why? Because, I wanted someone to   put a bullet in my head? No. Because, knowledge is power, because what you   don’t know can kill you. Because the more you know about your enemy, the more   likely you are to outlive him.” From reading this, I became aware that the Church of Jesus Christ has   forgotten who her God is…and so she is weak in her confidence in Him! She is   presently in the dark and not aware of the inroads that the enemy has been   making to deceive and side-track many, many precious believers from knowing   their AWESOME GOD. In these closing days of time before our Lord Jesus Christ   returns, let us know our Awesome God and be bold to do His bidding -the Bible   says, “My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4: 6) Every born-again Christian has been deliberately chosen by the only true   and living God at a high price – the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ and given   the privilege to wage a war against evil and rescue as many unbelievers as   possible from the kingdom of darkness and bring them into the knowledge of   salvation through the ministry of reconciliation. However, the born-again believers do not know this or they are complacent   about this high and holy calling in God and the enemy has been making inroads   into the time given to them to accomplish the God given task by this AWESOME   GOD Who is at war against evil continually. Many Christians are saved and happy for they hope to get to heaven and so   they live careless lives and find no time to know the will of God for them   and to wait upon God in prayer and to hear from God and obey Him. Many of   them compromise with the ways of the world when the Lord has said, “Love not   the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the   world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world,   the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is   not of the Father, but of the world.” 1 John 2: 15, 16 As born-again Christians we have allowed the devil’s false doctrines and   half truths and compromise to become a snare to us. As believers many are   ignorant of the enemy’s plans and schemes to deceive them and keep them in   fear and in bondage. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded believers to be doers of the Word and   not hearers only. He said search the Scriptures and know the will of the   Father in heaven. This is the reason why Jesus said in His sermon on the Mount in Mathew 7:   21-23, “Not every one that say unto Me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the   kingdom of heaven: but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven.   Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy   Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? And in Thy Name done many   wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart   from Me, you that work iniquity.”  Believers, we are living in the last hours of the last days and   there is a great need for the truth and the light of the gospel among the   unbelievers around us. Are you aware of the time in which you are living and   the high calling of God in your life to do the Father’s will? Are you playing   Church or are you about the Father’s business? There is a war going on for the souls of men day and night and it is time   to awake out of indifference and slackness and find out who we are. We need   to find our part in the out working of God’s plan to rescue the perishing in   our day before it is too late for them or too late for you when you are   unable to do for whatever reason.  Remember Queen Esther? Chosen by Almighty God and placed by Him in a   strategic position to rescue the Jews who were threatened to be wiped out by   the evil plan of Hamman? When she was hesitant to play her part because of   her comforts and her enjoyment of being the beloved Queen of the great King   and not willing to help, she was given a timely warning – “For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall   deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s   house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the   kingdom for such a time as this? (Esther 4: 14)  This awesome and fearsome God is our God and He has a plan and a   purpose for you in His networking and it is time to heed His warnings for the   time is at hand and there is much to be done. Every believer is chosen with a   plan and a purpose to accomplish the will of God but He needs your   co-operation. He has placed you where you are and if you are ready to be   totally sold out to His will then His awesome power will accomplish His   purposes through you against evil.  What is your reaction? Are you hesitant, like Queen Esther? The hour   is late and the time of His coming is at hand! Are you afraid to speak the   truth that sets captives free? Have you forgotten His Grace and Mercy that   reached out to you through the Gospel and brought you into His Family? Some one cared for your soul and prayed for you and reached out with the   Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of God unto salvation, and you are   saved. It is now your turn to pray for souls and reach out with the same Gospel   to others around you – your world – and bring them out of darkness and into   His marvelous light. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. You are the light of the world (your world) and your light must first   shine in your home, among your loved ones and relatives, your neighbors, your   suburb or your City and then reach out further. His command is preach the   gospel to every creature around you – the ones you work with, where you shop,   etc. etc. Though many of us think that unless we go overseas we are not fulfilling   His command. If He has told you to go – then go by all means! Do the will of   the Father!  I thank God for the Internet and the many souls that can be reached   in different places through this provision. I do thank God for Evangelist   Mona Rolid and all of you that have web sites and using them to spread the   Word of God!    Let us, each in   our corner believe His Word and take our place as sons/daughters of God and   do what He wants us to do as we are accountable to Him. He has blessed you   with all spiritual blessings in Christ and given you the power of the Holy   Ghost and equipped you to do His will in such a time as this!!  Our God is an awesome God and is against   evil. The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is at hand so let us be about our Father’s business! Margaret Wright
