God Is The Original Power.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” Romans 13:1
When one thinks about power and its source, that thought must start with the source of all power and that is Jehovah God. Some folks believe that this world and the universe circles on their own, but they are wrong, everything works as God chooses. Mankind is one of the most ignorant and uniformed of all God’s creatures. Mankind has the ability to see and to learn that God created everything in creation itself. Man looks into the universe and sees all that God created and somehow believes that it just appeared. That somehow a seed dropped from another world and landed here on earth and from it man evolved. Mankind with all the intelligence he has, totally misses God, and His connection to creation. Man talks about what he can do, and never credits God with anything. If one is going to think about God, he must begin with God controls everything. God is Sovereign and sovereign of any other source. He needs no one, or anything. God is not dependent on His creation, but His creation is dependent on Him. God created everything for a purpose. He created the devil and evil for His own glory. Proverbs 16:4 “The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.” God created Satan and Satan has done as God has ordained. Everything operates by God’s power and will. Man does not love God, man does not think about God, and man does not have proper knowledge about God. Romans 1:28 “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” Please understand, God controls everything. God leaves nothing to chance, God has before the foundation of the world predestinated everything that is going to happen. God knew when you would be born, what your life would be, and when you will die. God knew all this before the foundation of the world. God said “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers…” The powers of the world will be what they are, God has given them powers. God is the one who sits world leaders up and He takes them down. God never said these world leaders where His children, but they are His tools inserted into place to accomplish His will. God went on to say in Romans 13:3 “…For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil…” These people are not good people, they are not Christians, they hate God, but God still uses them to accomplish His will. God has a plan and the plan is unfolding before our eye every day. God can use anyone He chooses at any time He chooses for any reason He chooses. People get this thought that God works by our will, our thinking, or our accomplishments, but He does not. The President of America is set in office by God, and he or she will accomplish Gods will for America and the world whether good or bad, but always to God’s glory. They will realize one day as they hated God and Christians, that God used them and they accomplished His will. God does not do things to our glory but to His own glory, but to us who know Jesus Christ, it is glory whether we recognize it or not. God said in Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” He did not promise everything in life would be to our good, but that it would all work to our good. One of these days we will see it all put together, we will see it worked out, and we will see no matter what happened God got the glory. He did in the fall of Adam, through Pharaoh, in the death of Jesus Christ, and in the fall of the world will get glory. He promised we would suffer, loose, and fall down, but in the end it is for God’s glory, and because He gets glory so will we.
