WHO is THIS GOD


Our "new birth" --------- Making it clear here -- JESUS CHRIST is ALL of this

This "transformation" , this "new life" , this "knowing God" , this "regeneration" , these "words" convey some dramatic event , this life altering development that has "thrust" upon us and in us is nothing less that The God of the Universe, The Invisible God making Himself Visible to us in such a way that there is No denying that such an event ever took place

We may not always have "lived" the grace filled life , failed much at times but never can a person say that God did not do a work in them when a person has been "saved"

Luke 22:10 Holy Writ declares that "a man shall meet U carrying a pitcher of water - follow him and in verse 11 , HE says to ask of the good man of the house where shall we set up for the Passover -

Who were these "people" these were real people (or angels perhaps - matters not) but what is says here that GOD , our GOD is in control -- HE has everything prepared --- there are NO surprises ----------- This alone should assure us - that ------- we need not fret , pray , YES - but to be overly anxious -- NO ---------

Years ago , we were living by "faith" , no job , a family of 5 at that time , were into 3 months , never making anyone "aware" that we were "without" and yet the Lord kept us in peace , supplied our every bill money -- was a walk of "faith" clearly being led of the Lord , I kept busy doing sunday school work , visiting nursing homes - witnessing -- etc. ------

Well, one friday , we were needing 50 dollars , absolutely necessary to have this money for a bill due --- praying by the bed that morning I asked the Lord , am I to continue this walk of "faith" should I now seek a job -- and plus Lord, we NEED this 50 dollars - its a must we pay this bill today -- then I laid a fleece out so I would KNOW how the Lord was leading me --

I said, Lord if U want me to continue this faith walk , depending soly on U --, then "bring" this money , this 50 dollars today by the hand of the "last person" on earth I would think that it would come by ---

I no sooner prayed that prayer -- a "knock" on the door came -- I went to the door and it was my sister, she looked puzzled for she said -- her husband Denis said to her the night before , I want U to give Bob this 50 dollars -- she was shocked for this "Denis" was very frugal and money was important to him -- and believe me , I never would have dreamed that this would come by Denis ---------

So ------------ Who is this God --------------

HE IS THE ONE IN CONTROL of our lives , of every moment , and HIS LOVE has ripped thru Time and Eternity to let us know , WE ARE LOVED --------

Have a Great Day pilgrims ---------- Bob

  1. oh passing-thru,
    this is such an amazing true story!
    oh boy..from the most unlikely person too.
    yes it surely was god!
    i have seen this so often in mom and dad golden's lives.
    with nine children to feed, they surely needed miracles given their way.
    i remember when we lived in my beloved manitoba that we were really hungry one evening and the knock that came to OUR door was in the shape of a huge pot of spaghetti with real meatballs and CHEESE...
    never will i forget that delicious meal that god had sent to a mother and dad and their nine children!
    it does us good to remember these things passing-thru.
    have a good day..god bless...love terry

  5. It's important to realise that it all depends on God. "No one can come to me except the father who has sent me draw him", John 6 v 44.

  7. Dear Passing-thru,
    Maybe then, it's true what my father used to say;"If I wasn't always sick, I wouldn't need God that much either, I might get ppproud and drifted away from the Lord."
    I must say though, we don't get to choose the way he's holding us tight to his bosom. My prayer for my daughter is, "Keep her with you, Lord, but please do it gently."
