Fountain of Wisdom Ministries: Participating in Gods Purpose for the Nations

Anything that is seen can change. I am saying that now because more than ever before I want to see the way Christianity is practiced in this country change. I am talking about the United Kingdom. Any other thing seems to have a greater significance than the things of God. Sports, politics, fashion, entertainment, and just name it, you will get a ready audience to discuss these things but mention God and the whole atmosphere can change so drastically. One major point of conflict is the accurate understanding of the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of Man. The religious spirits have simply got in between these two issues and there is a war going on to ensure that those who want to know God are not too sure of what God will do or not do. So He is not a constant. This means they cannot really reckon with Him. Will He answer when we pray? Will He heal? Will He bless? The answer to these questions can be YES!

God is sovereign and can do whatever He wants to do. No one can stop Him or query why He does what He does. When this is taken far enough then everything that happens can be attributed to God directly. That is obviously not true, there things that we do ourselves and we cannot say God did them. Of course there are things that Satan does and we cannot say God did them. The question is how do we know which is which?

The other side of the debate is the responsibility side. Where man is held responsible for so many things. The law of cause and effect being taken far enough implies that God can do nothing except somebody or something here is the cause. That can also stretch things pretty far and man may end up full of condemnation for failing God so woefully. There is a middle course to take. Actually the middle course is always the place of balance. The fact is that to walk the middle course of any subject in the Bible is such that you will need to know the two sides of the road, see what each side carries as truth and then by the help of the Holy Spirit, stay in the comfort of the scripture and the balance of the Spirit which is a function of a vital heart relationship with God without allowing religious Spirits take advantage of us.

The following major understandings will help us in our quest for accuracy in the things of God:

This earth has been committed to mankind. Man has a right on this earth. Who ever he yields to will control this planet considerably.

God does nothing except by the instrumentation of his Word. Bible account of creation shows the place of God's Word in the scheme of things. The parable of the sower in Matthew 13 bears this out. Satan's attack on the Word also reveals the place the Word has in the Spiritual operations that take place. In all the types of the soils we see the target of the enemy is to steal the Word, cause persecution for the Word's sake or use deceitfulness of riches and cares for other things to choke the Word. Have you ever thought of this, that if God were to move on every need without being asked then all Satan needs to control God will be to keep causing needs everywhere and God will keep moving around. No, we are the ones to deal with the enemy with and in the power of God but the responsibility is ours. We have to exercise our responsibility and the authority that goes with that will be released.

Satan has flooded the earth with all kinds of philosophies that blind humanity from the true knowledge of God. Every one needs to pray through the mindset and stronghold that you're past and upbringing or culture has imposed on your mind. Accurate knowledge of your natural self and the influences you have yielded to in the past will play a major role in your victorious life.

The word of God has the solution. If you seek God he will show you the way out and the way forward. In Romans 4, from verse 16, we read about Abraham, the father of multitudes, who had no child to start with. God calls things that be not as though they were, because He lives in the timeless zone called eternity. He sees the end from the beginning. His word paints a picture inside your heart. That picture is your future, a product of His promises. That is what hope is, an inner image in the heart. When the natural hope failed, Abraham allowed God's Word to give him a new hope. That hope was so powerful it changed him from the inside out. Meditation lets you get that Word established in your heart. You can see it, you will act on it and speak it and get the results. That is how we were designed to function. What is on your heart? Your past failures? Then you are planning to live in them again. Replace your failures and fears with God's Word through meditation and confession. That is where the work is.

Getting the inner image to be in harmony with the covenant Word of God is hard work. Too many fear-borne prayers go unanswered and God gets the blame for it. In addition to this process, waiting in God for His wisdom to know the accurate timing and needed skill necessary to carry out the things involved becomes necessary. Is it any surprise that Faith is the assurance of things hoped for? The steps described so far are the steps of faith. It is time to speak to mountains after we are established in our hearts that we are mountain movers. In fact the continuous process of speaking and feeding on the word of God is part of the process of getting established in the Word. It is time to change all the things that can be changed by the power of the Word of God.
