<h1>The Scope of God's Sovereignty </h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Steve-0.aspx'>Steve-0</a></strong><br /><p>1) Sometimes God decrees (determines). "And truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined." Luke 22:22 2) Sometimes God conceals. "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God." Deuteronomy 29:29 3) Sometimes God recommends. "Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication." 1 Thessalonians 4:1-3 4) Sometimes God desires. "O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!" Deuteronomy 5:29 5) Sometimes God permits. "And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do." Numbers 22:12, 20 6) Sometimes God considers. "At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them." Jeremiah 18:7-8 Many people today are looking for real answers. God who is the father of all spirits; He's a single spirit, has an answer of peace to all and for all that call upon Him in truth and sincerity. This great God can perform things by means which nobody can explain except Him. But He requires faith to receive His grace. No matter what happens know that He rules the world. Though Satan is defeated, he is by no means knocked out. He is a bad landlord over God's property. The good news is that one day soon Jesus will return to evict him and restore all things. If we place His name upon ourselves we become His. If we suffer with him then we will reign with Him. If we endure unto the end then we will be saved. May God give a vision of His love and goodness to help us get to the Promised land. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />King James Bible, wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica<p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_The-Scope-of-Gods-Sovereignty_77474.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_The Scope of God's Sovereignty _77474.aspx</a></p>
