@SpireJim He referred to some as brood of vipers, His resurrection is made obvious by hindsight but wasn’t in His day and Is still debated. He cursed the fig tree. Genuine seeking finds proof not necessarily sealioning.
@SpireJim Hey Prof, some fact checks. He performed a miracle to an unknown woman with the issue of blood. It wasn’t obvious in fact there was a messianic secrecy to His ministry so it wasn’t so obvious. When He called forth Lazarus it was in a loud voice. He referred to Herod as a fox.
All moves of God are preceded by great darkness
The brightness of that manifestation is made greater by the prevailing darkness (groaning and travail).
The greater the challenges the greater the opportunity for those who provide solutions. All things are working for our good.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
The suffering we may experience and see around us is waiting for us to encounter and know our God that we manifest as sons of God (deliverers).
Honoring God and excellence end human suffering.
“The LORD respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’? Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 12:22-28
If He can quicken the word / vision to the rebellious.
The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary…..His understanding is unsearchable.”
Thus says the LORD:
“Refrain your voice from weeping,
And your eyes from tears;
For your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD,
“Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: “My way (faithfulness) is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God (He doesnt care what happens to me)”? Have you not known? Have you not heard?
