God always does more than we ask or think. Therefore, you who have been dedicated to listening to the preaching of the Word, you can be sure that He has something special for you. No matter if your problems are many, if your enemies are strong, acting God, who will stop Him? Our God is powerful, and it makes no difference to Him to help the great or the small, the rich or the poor, who have a lot of strength or who have no strength at all. For God, no problem is too difficult, and there is nothing He does not know or cannot do. His need may be small, or it may be great... you may have a problem or a million... the Lord our God is not a limited God, and He doesn't need time to resolve your situation. He can solve all your problems at once... it all depends on his faith, and his attitude towards him. Today we are going to study about Jehoshaphat, son of King Asa, who took the throne in place of his father; and that he was a smart guy. When he found himself surrounded by enemies, he took a wise course. He called upon the Lord, and said a prayer that touched God's heart.
I want to draw your attention in today's video to the immense stupidity committed by a king of
Sometimes things happen to us that we wouldn't want to happen; and we sometimes even get angry, and ask: Why did God allow this to happen? And the person is questioning, and does not conform many times... But know one thing: If something bad happened, it is because the person is not right with God. Because when we are right with God, when we are living in communion, we are always reading the Bible, meditating on the Word, walking as the Lord would like us to walk, only good things happen to us. Because according to the Holy Scriptures, (Romans 8:28), all things work together for good to those who love God. However, what happens is that many do not love God. They just say lip service. Because whoever doesn't respect what the Bible says and doesn't live according to the Holy Word teaches, he doesn't really believe, and doesn't love God. He who is idolatrous, immoral, who lives doing wickedness, and who does not respect his fellowman, this person does not love God.
Pay attention to what the Bible says in (2 Samuel 22:31): "The way of God is perfect, and the word of the Lord refined; and it is the shield of all who trust in Him." — My dears, God is our shield. He is the shield of all who trust Him. Come what comes, plan what they plan, try what they want to try, it won't hit us. It won't catch us, it won't make us fall, because we trust in God, and He is our shield!
I have something important to teach you, and it would be good if you stopped everything you're doing and made an effort to pay attention to what I'm going to talk about today, because sometimes we are threatened by a pain, a sadness, an annoyance, and we often don't even realize that this is all an affront the enemy is doing to us. We don't pay attention to the fact that these things that happen to us are diabolical plots, things planned in hell to destabilize us. We remain silent, and often accept it as if it were natural things, but it is not. We have a spiritual enemy who doesn't want to see us well at all. He tries, in every way, to make the Lord God sad with us. For this reason he attacks us with the most diverse types of problems, all with a single objective: to make us sin, to have a way to accuse us before God. Our enemy knows that the
When King Asa let pride and the vain illusion of prosperity take hold of his heart, he feared that one day someone might want to take over his kingdom. He then, afraid that this might happen, decided to build walls and towers, put doors and locks in cities. Besides, he armed himself, and prepared an army to protect him. With that, he diverted the protection of the Lord from himself and his people. He let himself be dominated by the spirit of fear, and considered that he himself must protect himself against an enemy that did not yet exist. — He said to himself, "Let's do this while the earth is still at peace." — What a fool he was. Wasn't the God who had given her peace all those years more efficient in keeping her peace? Such foolishness caused the devil to bring against him an enemy much stronger than he was to defeat him. If King Asa did not repent at the right time, and cry out to the Lord, he would have been slaughtered by his enemies.
