NOT GUILTY

Post date: Jul 10, 2012 9:26:16 AM

There are several things that God will allow in the life of a person that will always be contrary to expectations, like turning a guilty verdict of a person around for good or out rightly declaring the person not guilty after the judgment and condemnation of men. Considering the fact that Jacob deceived his father Isaac to take the blessing he intended for Esau, in the court of human being, Jacob is guilty of misrepresentation. Isaac felt that way and told Esau, but reacted differently in trying to reverse the blessing. But despite the feelings and thoughts of men against you, God will do what He intends as He did that of Jacob. The judgment of God is quite deferent from ours and His mercies are intended to draw us closer to Him. We read how Isaac became very protective of Jacob thereafter, and how Esau went off to do what actually angered Isaac most.

God, who knows our future, sets us up intentionally for His purpose. After the pronouncement of the blessing, the life of Jacob changed, he became more careful, reverence, and worship God at every given opportunity. His perception of God changed and his ways became more organized and directed by the words of God to him at all time, while Esau went the other way, doing things that were more offensive. God knows who to bless and who not to bless.

God intentionally allowed Jacob to receive the blessing while Isaac unintentionally blessed him. In every contest with God concerning His words and His purpose for His children, He will win, and the powers of darkness and all evil intentions of men will fail. God will not mistakenly bless anyone, He does that intentionally, using whatever He chooses. In this case He used Isaac, God is bringing you into some intentional opportunities and blessings, which in your eyes and in the judgment of men you do not merit and should not be given to you. God is opening the doors wide enough such that no opposition will be strong enough to stop it from happening. It is your turn to go through the eyes of the needle after going around for many years for the blessings.

Is there anything too hard for God to do? While we do that which our strength and knowledge allows us to do each day, God will surely do the impossible for us. He is never against our prosperity, success, comfort or riches in any ways, “And Jesus said to His disciples, truly I say to you, it will be difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of heaven. When the disciples heard this, they were utterly puzzled (astonished, bewildered), saying, who then can be saved from eternal death? Matthew 19:23-25

He purposely did that of Jacob and had promise to also do that of the descendants of Jacob; you and I, “Then I will draw near to you for judgment; I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against the false swearers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and who turn aside the temporary resident from his right and fear not Me, says the Lord of hosts. For I am the Lord, I do not change; that is why you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My ordinances and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, how shall we return? Malachi 3:5-7

To fulfill His plans, He promised to be swift against all forms of oppositions, if we will return to Him in worship, in praise, in focus, in desires and in reverence as Jacob did thereafter. He will never fail to implement all of His covenants concerning you; He is forever a covenant keeping and merciful God. Whatever are the intentions of men against you, God will intentionally turn them for your good. God will overturn evil sentences and plans that are against you, restore your hope and joy, and set you forth to glorify His name on earth. You are not guilty. Amen
