GOD is in control Pig and that is better than OK

Good morning

We started reading this morning and amazed at all the stories and scripture

passages that show us that through it all,

GOD WAS IN CONTROL.

Not a part of it but ALL OF IT.

Through it all is also a song.

Through it all BY Andrae' Crouch

I began to Trust in JESUS

I BEGAN TO TRUST IN GOD.

The actual words were;

through it all

i've learned to trust in JESUS

I've learned to trust in GOD

LET ME TELL YOU THAT

THROUGH IT ALL

THROUGH IT ALL

I'VE LEARNED TO TRUST IN HIS WORD.

Look it up on GOOGLE.

There are so many songs about Trust.

The only thing I know

When looking for a husband or wife or friend the amount of trust

that can be trusted?

Is the amount of JESUS IS IN YOU AND IN ME.

The rest we just TRUST IN GOD

JESUS MY SAVIOR AND YOURS.

The rest is tolerance and goodwill.

Forgiveness and a hope for a loving nature and friendship.

When you accepted JESUS AS SAVIOR.

YOU HAVE GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE YOU,

That begins a good start in a succesful relationship.

But know Pig you have FREEWILL.

YOU CAN LOOK AWAY AND GO YOUR OWN WAY.

BUT IN REPENTANCE

YOU COME BACK TO GOD.

Just like the son that left his Dads home and spent all his inheritance and ended up feeding and eating the Pigs food.

He was taught about GOD and raised in the way of GOD.

Yet he chose a life not of GOD.

Eating Pigs food was not his plan.

And

It wasn't Pancakes Pig, it was awful things to eat and I will not say.

Pig GOD knew it ALL.

HE KNEW the Son would come to his senses because GOD KNOWS IT ALL and helped him come back to his DADDY.

To His FATHER as the Son thought to himself.

In my Fathers house the servants eat so much better then this and I will not ask him to ask him to be his SON I WILL BE HIS SERVANT.

This was the story prodigal Son.

The difference between conviction and condemnation.

CONVICTION- THE ARE SPEAKING OF OUR REALIZATIONTHAT WE ARE GUILTY OF SIN

GUILT AND SHAME

PROMPTING THEM TO REPENT AND CHANGE THIER WAYS.

CONDEMNATION- THE ACTION OF COMDEMING SOMEONE TO A PUNISHMENT; SENTENCING DECLARING.

THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH AND THE NEED FOR DIVINE JUSTICE.

BOTH OFFER: ESCAPE BY JESUS AND HIS SACRAFICE ON THE CROSS FOR THEM.

In this story the Father Prayed for his Son every day to come back home.

LULE 15-11-32

This is the case for all Parents BOTH THE MOTHERS AND THE DADDYS Pig, that their DESIRE for their children come home and begin again.

THAT IS GODS PLAN TOO.

TO RESTORE THEM.

TO HEAL THEM

TO FORGIVE THEM AND FOR EACH OTHER.

Then THE FATHER pulled up his garment and tied it so he could RUN TO HIM.

as he met him with tears.

THE Son began to speak telling him how sorry he was and was no longer worthy to call him his Son as he was still speaking and then THE FATHER SPOKE.

As his fellow sevants had ran along with him too.

He, THE FATHER PROCLAIMED to his servants as he placed his ring on his finger and new sandals on his feet and covered him with THE BEST ROBE AND PUT IT ON HIM.

THE FATHER SAID to his servants

QUICK, KILL THE FATTED CALF. (BBQ)

LET US FEAST AND CELEBRATE.

FOR THIS SON OF MINE WAS DEAD AND NOW ALIVE AGAIN.

HE WAS LOST AND IS NOW FOUND.

SO THEY BEGAN TO CELEBRATE.

Now the other SON who was faithful and never left was upset that his brother had been restored.

The Father had never thrown him a party or noticed his obediance and he was angry.

Why honor the Son who made such a wrong decision in his life instead of honor to the obediate one.

His FATHER EXPLAINED and came to his Son comforting him.

MY SON, THE FATHER SAID,"YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME AND

EVERTHING I HAVE IS YOURS.

BUT

WE HAD TO CELEBRATE AND BE GLAD, BECAUSE THE BROTHER OF YOURS WAS DEAD AND IS ALIVE AGAIN; HE WAS LOST AND IS FOUND."

The love of a Parent.

The LOVE OF GOD.

READY TO FORGIVE

READY TO PLACE BACK INTO RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD AND MAN.

How? Pig asked.

By saying you are SORRY.

TRUE REPENTANCE.

IN HEART AND MIND AND SOUL.

GOD FORGIVES INSTANTLY.

BUT

MAN OR WOMAN IN HUMAN THINKING

IT SEEMS IT TAKES LONGER TO PROCESS THE HURTS.

BUT

WHEN THEY DO RELEASE THE FORGIVENESS TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

RESTORATION FLOODS IN WITH

JOY

HEALING

FORGIVENESS TO EVEN INTO THE BONES AND INNER WORKINGS OF THE BODY THEY SEEM TO BE RENEWED.

RELATIONSHIPS MENDED AND THEN MADE NEW.

HAPPINESS FOLLOWS WITH NEW MEMORIES TO REPLACE THE OLD ONES.

A TRUE CELEBRATION

WITH A NEW HEART AND MIND AND SOUL AND SPIRIT.

ONLY PRAYER Pig.

ONLY GOD AND HIS MERCY CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

THE AMAZING STORY OF IT ALL Pig.

What is it? Pig asked.

HE IS WAITING FOR THE PRAYERS TO BE PRAYED.

THE MIRACLE OF FORGIVENESS TO COME TO BE RELEASED.

THE CELEBRATIONS TO BE EXPERIENCED.

THE JOY UNSPEAKABLE TO BE EXPERIENCED AND TO KNOW THE FULL OF THE GLORY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

That is the unmerrited FAVOR of GOD WAITING FOR ALL WHO ASK.

FORGIVENESS

SALVATION

HEALING

RESTORATION

GUIDANCE AND WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT AND LOVE AND GOODNESS WILL BE GIVEN YOU.

WE SERVE A MIRACULOUS GOD.

CREATOR GOD AND THAT WHO GAVE HIS SON JESUS TO US

FOR OUR SAVIOR AND LORD

TO FORGIVE ALL SINS FOREVER BY THE SHEDDING OF HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS FOR THE FOREVER IN TIME

AND TO THE WHOSOVER THAT ASK.

JOHN 3:16

WOW Pig said.

A PRAYER TO SAY AND YOU GET ALL THAT?

YES,I said.

When you PRAY with the attitude of sincere repentance in your heart.

GOD WORKS MIRACLES IN YOUR LIFE.

Pig said, That is a great story.

I love GOD.

I LOVE JESUS.

When I PRAY I tell HIM SO.

JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO

(ANNA BARTLETT WARNER 1859)

LITTLE ONES TO HIM BELONG

THEY ARE WEAK BUT HE IS STRONG

YES JESUS LOVES ME

YES JESUS LOVES ME

YES JESUS LOVES ME

HEAVENS GATE TO OPEN WIDE.

HE WILL WASH AWAY MY SIN

LET HIS LITTLE CHILDREN IN.

JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW

AS HE LOVED THEM LONG AGO

TAKING CHILDREN ON HIS KNEE,

SAYING LET THEM COME UNTO ME.

Pig said

when we grow up are we still his children?

Yes Pig,

HE loves us and sees us all AT ANY AGE

that has said Yes, to JESUS as HIS CHILDREN.

THANK YOU LORD

AMEN
