Whatever the LORD pleases He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places.

Psalm 135:6

In a way, we can look at The Lord as Someone who is just like us; considering that He has wishes, desires and plans. Yet, there is a remarkable difference between us in the sense that whatever He wishes will always be done even though His enemy is opposing to that; He is sovereign over everything. That is why you can trust in Him with all your heart since there is nothing too intricate for The Most High (Matthew 19: 26 b; Mark 10: 27 b), and His will is done as He had planned.

As He created man to His image and likeness, The Lord had a plan that, for a while, was stalled due to interference of sin. Nevertheless, with the death of His Son Jesus, on the Calvary, God could continue what He had begun in the first place. Once you are part of the divine work these days, you can see how much He loves you. God has always in His mind His promises for us; so, provided we do our duty He will fulfil all of His promises. The Almighty never fails and He never loses any battle at all.

When nothing existed, our Creator began putting into practice with all His heart those plans He had in His mind, bringing into light all that. Therefore, nothing was created defectively or calling for improvement. The whole world functioned perfectly well until, one day, being tempted, man who had been created by God to dominate over all of His creation, betrayed Him by believing in the enemy and being obedient to him.

However, although they fell into sin, humans complied with the order of The Most High to grow up and to multiply (Genesis 1: 28), and thus, we have come a long way and this is our generation. Therefore, there is nobody who does not take part in the plans of God. Even those who serve other gods, those who have adopted other religions or those who have turned themselves into criminals are in the heart of The Lord. He does not want anybody to get lost, but He wants all of them to repent (John 6: 39).

Even today we have the same opportunity to make the same choices like those in the past, considering that with Jesus’ death our sins are forgiven. Now, we can resume using the divine power in the spiritual world, likewise we do so in the material world. The Lord has delivered us from the eternal condemnation and He withdrew the devil’s authority over us. That is why there is no reason whatsoever to remain living under the hellish yoke of slavery. Today we are more than winners in all things (Romans 8: 37).

We know that nothing misses the eyes of The Lord. That means that if there is any evil thing in your life He knows exactly in which areas it is hidden, its destructive capacity and how it will be exterminated. Thus, however smart the devil seems to be, he will not prevail before the imperious will of God. Therefore, if you decide to get rid of everything that is clearly useless by itself in you; you can trust in God because He will surely deliver you.

Find in The Word those precious things The Most High speaks about you and then, as you believe, you must determine that they will come true. We have The Name of Jesus to do whatever He pleases.

In Christ, with love,
