Bible Question (short): Who is God using? |
Question (full): This week in New York -- despite the warning received ten months ago on September 11, 2001 -- the United States came into one accord with the United Nations, the European Union and Russia in setting the stage for Israel to concede covenant land which was promised to her by God. Not only did Secretary of State Colin Powell effectively REVERSE President Bush's implied withdraw from endorsing a Palestinian State "until a change of Palestinian leadership" takes place, but on July 19 President Bush sealed the matter by reconfirming his commitment to establishing a Palestinian State WITHIN THREE YEARS. The spiritual covering over the United States was significantly weakened during the peace process in New York. America has now chosen her path, and this path will ultimately require a response from God. Unless America changes her present course, one can easily foresee severe natural disasters in the coming months... economic tensions, unprecedented earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other judgments as God lifts his hand of angelic covering from the United States of America. And what takes up the time of the Christians? Foolish debates on who God will use in these last hours. Just look at the volume of postings on such foolishness as does God put women into ministry... will God use a women? None of these lead to the saving of souls but are merely the puffed up minds filled with opinions. What witness is all of this to the JW’s that you have been debating? If God wants to use another dumb donkey to same my lost loved ones, I say so be it! Yes even a women would be fine with me if He so ordains her. The Pharisees would debate deep sayings but could not discern the signs of the times. Lets let God be God! If HE saves souls through a women, even if the PHARISEES say HE shouldn’t, who knows, that soul may be one of the two witnesses of the end times. No man comes to the Father except that the Spirit Draw, so if a women preaches and God saves, HALLELUJAH! It is God that gives the increase, and He is the judge of the work! A women is still the better choice than having to wait till the Rocks cry out. I have many lost loved ones that I really care less who God uses to save them. I really doubt that if any of those on this forum against women preacher, had a child drowning, you would not stop a women from throwing out the life line. Is not the soul worth more than the body? Time is running out, let your righteous energies be used for the Kingdom of God to the saving of souls which is His heartbeat. He will take care of the women who get out of their place. Sad to say though, God may very well be calling women to pick up the slack for too many men that have ran from the call for many years. Who is the Blessed of God... the one called or the one that obeys the call? It seems to me that Christians are too busy rearranging the pictures on the wall while the house is burning down. |
