Thank God for His goodness

09/19/2026

“The Lord isn’t really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed but wants everyone to repent.” 2 Peter 3:9

When a person of faith sees the troubles in the world and how many rulers and authorities fail to bring justice to the billions who are weak and disadvantaged, it can make you wonder, where is the Lord of all power? There are nations today with ongoing wars for generations, and nations with vast resources but citizens living in fear, while monsters like shadow governments rule capitals. It's easy not to see the world’s dangers when your life is consumed with survival, or when you're living in prosperity, but the world is hurting, groaning for the sons of God to arise. "Repent" means to show remorse for one’s sin and change one's ways.

Scripture:
“How long, LORD, shall the wicked— How long shall the wicked triumph? They pour out words, they speak arrogantly; All who do injustice boast.” Psalm 94:3-4

The events happening today may seem out of your control as a believer. Because of the spirit of delay and distraction, you may be trying to pay your bills and keep a roof over your head, but the world will change when you become mature. You are the person whose prayers are answered without hindrance because your heart is to please the Lord. You are the joint heir with Christ the Messiah.

Scripture:
“For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.’” Romans 8:19

The heart of God's mature children is to do His will. The corrupt governments will continue to become more and more corrupt until the anointed children of God see the need for righteousness and pursue it for the nation. “A kingdom divided against itself will not stand”, (the world cannot change itself). Daniel's action in praying to God when he knew his life was in danger, was not just for himself, but to preserve his people and bring many to the truth. When the God of Abraham is known in power, humility comes to the wicked, and judgment for the evil doers follows.

Scripture: Daniel 6:21-24
“Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! 22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.” 23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. 24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.”

You are not being radical when you're standing in faithfulness, you are just being obedient. You were called to be the light and the salt of the earth. Salt preserves and the light put out the darkness. When the man with sight is waiting for the blind man to lead him, he is in error. Jesus Christ is the Way.

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.” Matthew 12:43-45

(I will name this home invasion)
I have heard the above scripture preached a few times and have often thought about believers who have done something wrong; back then, cleaning the house meant a believer's life being cleansed. However, let us look at this a little differently.

A Story
A man with an unclean or demonic spirit was delivered from it by a minister. The minister walked with the authority of God and cast out the evil spirit, but the man, although he was delivered, went back to his old life, but stopped doing somethings that led to his bo***ge. However, the man did not accept Jesus Christ as Lord of his life. The man did not get into the scriptures to develop an understanding of the truth but changed many things about his life. He used to smoke and no longer smoked; he used to fornicate but got married. He used to have problems with bills but got a nice paying job and everything was looking up. However, one day all hell broke loose in his life, and what seemed like something coming together was all gone, which led him to drink and smoke again. This time however his smoked with less resistance and a greater craving for more, he also wanted more out of his marriage, so he started going outside of his marriage for pleasure.

Words in the scriptures:
1 The unclean spirit could not find any place to rest, and that means that man was a resting place for that spirit.
2 The unclean spirit said, let me return to (my house), that shows ownership.
3 The unclean spirit got reinforcement (go and take seven other spirits), that means the attacks for territory will be intensified.

Some spirits are not at rest and are looking for a house, but the real words I saw in the text that say ownership are the words (my house). The house is clean and the spirit now is colluding with other spirits to take full control so that deliverance will seem impossible. Some will say in spiritual warfare of demonic attacks that it is an open door, but a thief does not need an open door he just needs to overpower the homeowner.

If you are from some island in the Caribbean, you understand that a door with locks is not enough to keep out a criminal, that is why they have burglar bars. A thief that has some dominion in an area does not respect a door lock, but will eventually respect ownership, because a strong owner does not give up his property to a thief (in context, an evil spirit). That is why the blood of Jesus Christ is powerful in warfare because, it proves ownership.

Scripture:
“For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value.
It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.”
God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake.”
1 Peter 1:18-20

Consider living in a gated community; it’s protected but intruders can find ways to trouble the residents, though not for long. Stand firm when Satan tries to trick you, declare the blood of Jesus Christ against every evil spirit claiming territory, and learn more about the government of His Kingdom, because His Kingdom reveals His glorious power.

Stay always in faith because, things may look dark and the clouds may seem to say bad weather but, God loves you. His love is why you can have confidence for a better tomorrow and an assurance that you won’t be disappointed. “You will see God goodness in the land of the living”.

The Word of God

“And from the time John the Baptist began preaching until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people are attacking it.” Matthew 11:12 (NLT)

A kingdom does not advance into its enemy's domain without opposition. The fact that we who believe have been translated into the Kingdom of God’s Son is reason enough for attacks from the opposing spirit world and the world we live in, to begin with; it’s to stop the Kingdom agenda.

Let us clear up what we do in a spiritual battle. In warfare there are different strategies that the Lord will give you to defeat the adversaries. The kingdom against you wants dominion and they are not going to let up if they see the possibility of winning. The win for the adversary is stopping the person with a physical body from doing God’s will.

That negative thought came from somewhere. That consistent attack on your finances came from somewhere, and if you are kingdom-minded there will be battles and sometimes they are relentless. But you must stand for what you believe and fight on.

Know that the adversary cannot win when you stay in faith, that is, keep trusting in God. Know that if God has put into your heart a vision for His Kingdom advancement, it's already established in heaven. What you received from the Holy Spirit has already been agreed to in heaven.

Scripture:
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.” John 16:13

Start from young

“How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.” Proverbs 16:16

A story
There was a man who always attended church. He prayed for a job and got the job he always wanted, but it made him busy, and he stopped going to church as often. The man thought he was doing well; that was his desire, and for many years he kept pressing forward in his career and became financially successful, but he was not diligent in growing in the wisdom of the Lord.

After many years of success, the man was offered a position that would increase his wealth significantly, but upon taking the offer he realized that the compromises for riches were seeming so easy and what he would stand against many years ago was now being looked at as an option. The man’s attitude towards many things has changed, he is now willing to do things he would not have thought of doing many years before. The man had become totally dependent on a system that was rigged in order to trap the righteous.

Perspective:
Sometimes we don't see a good opportunity as a way that can lead us away from the Lord, but it can. Many have become successful in business, but at a very mature age are unskilled in the Word. Hence, when challenges come, sickness, loss of business etc., they begin seeking the Lord, but their minds have already accepted the carnal way as the truth.

Scripture:
“So, remember your Creator while you are still young, before those dismal days and years come when you will say, “I don't enjoy life.” 2 That is when the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars will grow dim for you, and the rain clouds will never pass away. 3 Then your arms, that have protected you, will tremble, and your legs, now strong, will grow weak. Your teeth will be too few to chew your food, and your eyes too dim to see clearly.” Ecclesiastes 12:1-3

When one have lived by the flesh, using their own strengths most of their youth, it's going to be very challenging to live trusting the things of the Spirit when illness, financial loss, marital problems, and so on, come to rob them of what they have achieved in their older years. Some will come to a place where they don't like living and life seems useless and unfair. But the man or woman who is trusting the Lord and growing in His truth, knows their God, and they will prosper even in old age and delight in many days.

Scripture:
“If they hear and serve Him, they will end their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness and joy.” Job 36:11
