Greetings Friends,
I want to put forth some light on a particular scripture that gets stripped and thrown around like it's a freebie to use anywhere you want.
Now under God's direction this can be used in other situations but that is always going to need His leading.
It's Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
This is not a stand alone scripture especially when one strips the following and uses it anywhere they wish.
And we know that all things work together for good
First of all there are TWO key parts missing
1. Must Love God
2. Must be called according to His Purpose.
Second
There is a lot of evil out there that is NOT working good for anyone, there fore it renders this casual use of this scripture void and null.
Third
Yes God can work good in any situation HOWEVER a believer must line up with God's Requirements.
1. Must be walking, living and doing what is written in His Most Holy Word.
2. ANY unwillingness TO Do So Disqualifies you and He is Not able to turn it around.
.....such things as unforgiveness and holding and aught or doing things your way or demanding restitution and not walking in Love are just some of the things that keep God from working good in a situation.
.....Another is the mouth and the words you are speaking. Words either allow God and stop the enemy or they allow the enemy and stop God.
Now then back to Roman 8:26-28
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
26-28 are together as one thought.
NOTE......The Hebrew Root Word in V28 for the word THINGS...is Actually WORD.
so we have word things or just words.
Read it in context as
And we know that all WORDS work together for good of them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.
So we see between v26 and V28
The subject is both understood words
Spirit words and groanings.
To sum it all up
All Words and Growning of the Holy Spirit and Our Words work together FOR the Good of those who love God and are called according to His Purpose.
Another example.....
Jesus told the storm peace be still and it was.
Paul had to endure the storm but through prayer God agreed to spare All the Men along side paul. Paul was not going to perish for God had already said.....you will stand before kings.
Why could Paul not just use this scripture saying peace be still?
Disobedience. ....
God said if you sail you will lose the ship and cargo. They sailed anyway.
Friends there is always consequences for disobedience.
The ship would be lost no matter what because God said so.
We can not simply take bits of scripture and use it in anyway we wish and expect to get the desired results.
Obedience unto His ways including our words is always going to be a must right up their with unwavering Faith.
One does greatly error when one takes a bit of scripture and takes it at face value under human understanding.
God's truth is hidden from the world.
