I know there is a perfect will of God and Jesus walked in it, even though he suffered & was tempted as we are.

If you look @ the history of the OT, we can surely see there must have been a permissive will !

 Sarah & Abraham told a half truth in Genesis to prevent Abraham's murder. A great nation and our salvation came through his loins.

Lot's daughters committed incest with their father, yet God made 2  great nations from this.

David, a man after God's own heart, well loved by the Lord, yet he committed adultery and had her true husband killed. He is Israel's most renowned king, to this day !

I do not think it is favourable to walk in this mind-set for the consequences of sin must be paid & the continuance of is death.

I know that Jesus paid the ultimate punishment for OUR SINS in perfection. He took our consequences & they were nailed to his cross.

We are to seek God's will and strive to hold fast to our profession of faith.

Every day we are tempted, tried & pulled by our flesh to act against the truth; sometimes we FAIL!

If God allows us a period of Grace to repent, is this not God's permissive will?

I read multiple other Christian forums to get topics for study. This one caught my eye.

I don't know how anyone can read the Bible and not see the conflict of wills between God and those who oppose Him.

I've just today composed the first stanza of a longer poetic devotional I'm working on.

Here goes:

SOWN AND GROWN

The Word of Truth is scattered far and wide,

Like seeds designed to grow and thrive.

It falls in part upon the hardened hearts of passers-by,

Who traffic in doubt and disbelief,

The easy marks of an evil thief,

‘Pon whom distractions of this world do prey,

Like devil-birds cursed to snatch away,

The untethered Word of Truth to devour,

The unenlightened traveler to destroy.

Without God's "permissive" will we would have no free will.

God allows us to sin.

Thank you.

I see what you are saying. Yet there are others that would & have strongly disagreed with this premise.

It is not " off with their heads" as some like to think.

Grace is unmerited favour, for he is tender & merciful and wants none to perish.

Sin that lies unconfessed & unrepentant after conviction by the Spirit,  will fester and make a heart grow cold. This causes one to leave their first love of God.

Just as our beloved parents allowed us leeway of growth, so too does our heavenly Father.

By this permissive act we learn how to get up when / if we fall, make choices that lead us into maturity and press on  into this journey.

As a basic principle of theology all things work together for good for those who love God and are the called ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

What constitutes love of God if not a willingness to fulfill His purpose?

Amen.

I pray everyday to be found in God's will, allowing his Spirit to fulfill the works of Christ in me !

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
