Called By Christ To Be ONE: TRUSTING IN THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

TRUSTING IN THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD

Pastor and church leader, are you trusting in the providence of God in your life and ministry?

Providence is God’s guidance and protection in our lives and ministries.

Pastors and church leaders teach about God’s providence to their people regularly. With a deep belief and conviction, we even counsel people about God’s guidance and protection throughout life. Yet, when it comes to our own lives and ministries, do we believe it with the same level of conviction and operate our lives and ministries accordingly? Do we make our decisions about the future God has for us based upon His providence? I promise you: God will guide and protect you in your life and ministry.

I Have Struggled with God’s Providence. Have You?

There have been seasons in life where I struggled with understanding God’s work in my own life and ministry. I have even wondered why certain doors have closed when I thought they would be open. Providence is the friend that always reminds you that God is always working.

Conversely, I have often been overwhelmed with God’s gracious blessing, opening doors for me that I know I do not deserve. Here is what I know: God always knows what is best for me. Therefore, He protects me from things I may think are best, but in reality, God knows they are not best for me. He releases me to do things I would have never dreamed I would do in my life and ministry. Again, God is always at work in our lives. Thank you, Lord, for loving me and protecting me when I do not know how to protect myself.

Are You Trusting in God’s Sovereign Will?

In addition, God desires to work through us. People, places, provisions, and experiences are all under His guidance and care. When He desires to intersect them into your life, you will see His sovereign will fulfilled.

By faith we trust in God’s sovereign will! We join Him in all He is doing.

As He invites us to join Him, trust Him. He is worthy to be trusted.

How Do We Trust in the Providence of God in Ministry?

1. Trust in God’s providence even when things are not going well.

There is nothing easy about ministry. It is not an easy calling in life. Most pastors I know are continually under scrutiny. Pastors and church leaders are weary from constant criticism and cutting cynicism. Many have questions about their future, and at times, sense their ministry is in jeopardy. They are hoping and praying for revival in the church or deliverance from the church.

Pastor and church leader, God has not forgotten you. He is with you. He wants to teach you. I will never forget one of the most challenging times I ever faced in ministry. Through that experience, God showed me that He had me in that particular place in life to teach me. God had me there for me–more than for the church! This overwhelmed me with conviction from the Spirit of God. I learned through that experience, and many times since, that He guides, protects, and provides even when things are not going well. Trust in God’s sovereign will for your life and ministry.

2. Trust in God’s providence even when you may not want to.

Oftentimes, we want to take our life and ministry into our own hands. We want to manipulate the circumstances or spin our own reality. If we are honest with one another, there are times when we struggle with anger about what we are experiencing and even with where we may be serving. How does God bless a friend’s life and ministry when my own seems to be barren? Be cautious. In ministry, jealousy and comparisons can even override our judgment.

Yet, we must trust in God’s sovereign will. At times, trusting Him and His will may be far more difficult than trying to take matters into our own hands. Trusting God in ministry involves surrendering our entire life and future to Him. We have to take our hands off of our future, leaving it all in His hands.

3. Trust in God’s providence for your future.

Trust in God’s providence for your future in life and ministry. He knows what is best for you even when you do not. He is more involved with you personally than you may even realize. He is moving in the world of today in order to prepare you for the world of tomorrow.

Pastor and church leader, I believe God has big plans for your life and future. You may not see it right now, but He is preparing you. He sees the end from the beginning. At the right time, He will raise you up and entrust you with your future. Trust God’s providential guidance and care for your life and ministry. He cares more for you than you can even imagine.
