“DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE” BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!!
“DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE,” “Six of the most spine chilling words ever spoken. Torment him, disappoint him, afflict him, devastate him, and break him. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE” Lie on him, dishonor him, persecute him, and handicap him. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE.” Embarrass him, ridicule him, expose him and shame him. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE. Sour his relationship, compromise his finances, ruin his reputation, and destroy his health. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE.” In Case you did not get it, God is giving Satan His permission to do to us as he pleases in his diabolical quest to make us dishonor our God and accuse him falsely” (Fred Pullins) It is good to be able to quote from a good friend for once, thank you Fred.
As I continue I will try and make some sense out of God’s way of thinking because if He would allow such tragedy to befall his servant Job, as He BAITS Satan in Job 1:8 (NIV) “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth”
What chance do we have over 2000 years later. But “Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. Ecc. 8:17 (KJV)
Friends, That text tells me trying to look at it from God’s point of view is futile. So I will ask myself the question how strong must a Child of God be in the 21st century for God to have the confidence in them to say to Satan “DO WITH HIM OR HER AS YOU PLEASE.”
As I focus on the reality of it ever happening. It would be an honor for God to have such faith in me, I just don’t know if I’m there yet. But friends we must begin with genuine passion as we seek God’s presence to prepare us as we tell God.
PLEASE, LORD, what must I do to be saved, PLEASE don’t hold back because I know the alternative in not being prepared is perdition. So God whatever it takes PLEASE prepare me to be “Safe to Save.”
I’m also told it all starts with the power of your Spirit as we take up your cross. SO GOD PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR CROSS TO BEAR. If I am not ready PLEASE prepare me, a CHOSEN vessel, a faithful servant who you can tell the god of this world “DO WITH HIM OR HER AS YOU PLEASE” because there faith is built on My Word And I know it “will not be shaken.”
But God I’m terrified at the thought, but I know THERE IS NO OTHER WAY no matter how I try to justify or excuse getting out of it by saying, I’m not ready, I have school to finish, I just started my career, my kids are still at home, what will my husband or wife or girlfriend or boyfriend think or I just bought a house and the list goes on.
But we must realize it all comes down to what God wants and how can we praise him in our sufferings as we carry his cross, because as a chosen vessel who has received a mandate directly from God that states “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses…..to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NKJV) There is no other way.
So close your eyes and decide now to give it all to the Master as we build a level of faith through His word that will be stretched to the limit as God prepares us “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS Because we know there IS NO OTHER WAY.
In addition we also know you loved us so much that you even allowed Satan to “DO WITH YOUR ONLY BEGOTTEN SON AS HE PLEASED.” So that your adopted “SONS and DAUGHTERS may be saved. “So here I am Lord my life is in your hands, NOW “PREPARE ME TO BE YOUR INSTRUMENT,” “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.”
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
