Any unknown is in the control of God. Nothing gets past Him. We are also in that control, it's called Faith. We are all gifted with that portion in which we need to have peace of the unknown. God's providence.
As prayer warriors we are also gifted with Wisdom and Knowledge to know just what we are to pray, without worrying if we are doing enough or if we are praying the right things. This is how our relationship with the Father grows In trust and peace.

LOOKING AT GOD'S PERSPECTIVE?
IS IT GOD'S PERSPECTIVE, OR IS IT OURS?
IT'S ALL ABOUT FREE WILL.
FREE WILL IS WHAT GOD GIVES US, THEREFOR HE MUST FORGIVE US IF WE ASK HIM TO, RIGHT?
BUT FIRST THAT REQUIRES SALVATION.
THAT REQUIRES FAITH.
FAITH IN WHAT?
FAITH IN THAT WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE.
FAITH IS THE PROCESS THAT GETS US IN KNOWING THE TRUTH.
IN KNOWING HIM. KNOWING HIS FORGIVENESS.
KNOWING THAT IT COMES ONLY THROUIGH HIS SON JESUS.
ARE YOU STILL WITH ME? HOPE SO.
SO, WE MAKE OUR CHOICES BASED ON WHAT WE PRAY ABOUT, GOD'S WORD, HOW WE FEEL, CIRCUMSTANCE, WHAT OTHERS ADVISE US ON.
EVEN SOMETIMES THROUGH THE VOICE OF THE ENEMY OF OUR SOUL.
WHEN A DECISION IS MADE, WE MUST LIVE WITH THAT CHOICE.
WAS IT A GOOD CHOICE?
A BAD CHOICE?
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
DO WE STILL WANT THE BEST FROM GOD?
HERE IS WHEN FAITH COMES IN.
Any unknown is in the control of God. Nothing gets past Him. We are also in that control, it's called faith. We are all gifted with that portion in which we need to have peace of the unknown. God's Providence.
If we are prayer warriors we are also gifted with wisdom and knowledge to know just what we are to pray, without worrying if we are doing enough or if we are praying the right things. This is how our relationship with the Father grows In trust and peace.
Where do we go from here?
To be totally honest about it, and this is speaking from my heart, I want to answer this from my past experiences. You know, the school of hard knocks or what I might call the school of hard knockdowns.
For so much of my life I truly believed I was basing all my choices through God's word because I would find scriptures to back them up.
I would also ask for advice from other Christians hoping they would agree or bare witness to my decision. I was very pleased and happy when that happened and acted on what I believed was answered prayer. I had Faith that my decision was right.
Now here is where things will change.
I REALIZED THAT MANY CHRISTIANS RELY ON THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THEIR METER AS TO WHO GOD REALLY IS. IT COULD BE SAID THERE IS VERY LITTLE FAITH IN THEIR LIVES.
I FOUND THAT WHEN YOU GIVE OUT SCRIPTURE IT IS READ BUT NOT BURNED INTO THE HEART.
THAT POWER IS THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE IN JESUS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, AND THAT COMES THROUGH READING AND BELIEVING HIS WORD.
So I do not want to get to spiritual here because this is where most people start to lose their audience.
All these things I was praying about, well guess what?
(NEXT PAGE)
They all did not work out the way I Hoped or Thought.
I screwed up. Now What do I do?
God doesn't like me, I guess I'll go home and eat some worms.
I remember when I was real young and lived in the house that George Romero's (another writer/film maker) owned. We called it the Big House. His ex wife baked some cookies for me and two of my roomies. Well as it goes, I made one of those decisions that did not work out so well, and I felt so bad about it I ended up eating All of those chocolate chip cookies myself. When my roomies found out, well then I realized I made yet another wrong decision, when they by no uncertain terms let me, and every other friend of ours know this. Now as silly as this sounds, the point is, don't let bad decisions that you make cause you to make more. when you made a wrong decision, realize this. We all do, even the best of us. So what do we do, what happened to Faith? If it is the Truth we are looking for He will direct and Guide us to that Truth. This is where Faith starts to develop.
Now for this illustration there are two ways to Realize Faith.
Hoping that God is indeed leading us, and as we Trust in God, Faith becomes reality even when we don't quite understand.
I hear Christians say do your best, and then trust that God will work it all out. And I encourage that, but our heart and our attitude must be in receiving His best and giving Him GLORY and honor when these prayers are answered. One example is the healing of America. God does have a precise plan and He is giving His people the chance to call on Him to heal our land, not through just a man, or our best efforts, but to listen to his spirit as to how to fight the enemy. Not to sit on our duffs and only have hope. We have to have truth, wisdom, faith, power in prayer and power in the blood of Jesus. We are not just to wait it out either, fight it through.
Did Jesus just let man kill Him with no plan, or was it the sweat and blood PRAYERS to the Father the night before He died, did He not doubt, then say never the less Father not my will but your will be done. He became man to show the Father that He still needed to submit to His will, He could've said forget it, I will not do this. I will not save the world.
Now if you want to talk about what makes sense, the kind that says no matter how wrong it looks to man I choose to trust God's way because it is His will not mine. I can never truly understand God's way unless He reveals it to me. Too many of us are still thinking with our emotions and a mindset that I guarantee is from what other people think and we end up thinking that way. These are not our own thoughts, but the spirit speaks to the spirit. Remember God can use our experiences of both good and bad. It is a shame that we do not pick up on that, which is why I say God will use your past to give you wisdom for the present.
