8. A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
18. Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
26. A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
28. Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. Proverbs 20.
I don't know why but God gave me these scriptures this morning.
I know our country is in unstable times. Many are concerned about the coming days and what it will bring. Especially those with families in the armed services.
I only know what God has shown me. The "kings" heart ( President Bush) is in His hand.(Gods)
The Bible tells us the prophet who proclaims "Peace, peace" when there is no peace.is a false prophet, and to mark that person.
In Jeremiahs day, there were many Prophets, going around saying Israel would not go into bondage but defeat their enemies for they were Gods chosen people. Surely God would not allow them to be defeated by "heathen " nations.?
But not Jeremiah. Although he paid severely for his faithfulness to stand for what GOD spoke to his heart in spite of popular opinion, and going against the majority of the people and the priests.
I am going to tell you what GOD has shown me. Nothing more-- nothing less.
President Bush IS Gods servant. His heart is seeking Gods direction on the things he does. And on his judgements.
That is VERY good for us. God would move for the people when he had a "righteous King" ruling over the people.
But that is not enough.
The people need to repent and turn to God, or the nation will still be judged.
But--regardless of what anyone else does.
If YOUR heart is pure before God, no matter what happens around you--GOD will sustain YOU.
God WILL protect YOU.
Just as HE did Jeremiah .!!!
For thus saith the Lord :
Fear not for the things that are about to come upon the face of the earth.
For these things must come to pass, in the last days, I have forewarned you these things would happen.
Look not at the things others have, or others do.
But look only onto me, for I am the alpha and omega, the first and last, the everlasting God in whom the foundations of the earth were laid,
Think not of what ye will do tomorrow , or how you will survive, or what you will eat or drink or wear.
for I am your tomorrow. I am all you need. I am your source of supply, I am your deliverer, and I am your guidance, your provider, your protection in every situation.
Fear not, for the enemy has already been defeated. I have seen him boast of the power in his hand,
yea, I say seek me and my deliverance and not that of your own source and I will go before thee and I will deliver thee in every direction.
The battle is mine not yours saith the Lord.
Seek MY guidance , my deliverance and I WILL fight the battle before it even begins.
For I delight in the Praises of my people , and it is MY pleasure to give unto them all good things, when they walk in my statues, and do those things that are right in my sight.
For I am looking for a people who will serve me with their whole heart.
And from them I will not withhold any good thing.
For I am with thee and I will give counsel to those that seek me early.
For I am the lord thy God that loveth thee.
