Mighty God

King Nebuchadnezzar,
To those of every people, nation, and language, who live in all the earth:
May your prosperity increase. I am pleased to tell you about the miracles and wonders the Most High God has done for me.
How great are His miracles, and how mighty His wonders! His Kingdom is an eternal Kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation. Daniel 4:1-3

This was written by Nebuchadnezzar after God had dealt with him. He became proud and God gave him a dream which Daniel interpreted. It was a warning to Nebuchadnezzar to repent of his pride or God would cause him to lose his mind and be cast out into the fields with wild animals for 7 years. He did repent, for one year and then became proud again, claiming all the glory instead of giving it to God. He was then cast out, just as the dream predicted.

At the end of seven years his Kingdom was restored and Nebuchadnezzar lived two more years. He wrote:
But at the end of those days, I, Nebuchadnezzar looked up to heaven, and with my sanity returned to me. Then I praised the Most High and honoured And glorified Him who lives forever.
For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His Kingdom is from generation to generation.
All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does what He wants with the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth.
There is no one who can hold back His hand or say to Him, "What have you done?"

If God is able to do this to Nebuchadnezzar  can I not trust Him to be Lord over all? Is He not able to change the hearts of rulers? He is GOD and I can trust Him. Amen!

Last night I was talking to some women about the situation in Iraq and they said how powerless they felt. I said: " that is a lie. Prayer is mighty and our God is greater than all the wicked and evil that men can do."

Our God is mighty and He answers prayers. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
