God Goes Into Action When This Happens


God Goes Into Action When This Happens

3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES

“When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action.”
- Matthew 18:19 (MSG)

That’s a powerful little proclamation, right there my brothers. It’s kinda stupefying to me that The Son of The Living God, who sports all power and all authority in heaven and on earth, said if two of us chuckleheads get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, God the Father will go into action. Good Lawd! What a promise, eh? I’m sure some unsanctified goober’s thinking right now, “Well, if that’s true man, I want God to give me Shaniqua, my favorite stripper down at Tootsie’s, to be my forever ever ever love.” Uh, earth to Dilbert, I don’t think that’s what is entailed in that scripture. Matter of fact, I’m pretty certain it is not what the Son of God had in mind. Check out how the Amplified Bible frames that magnificent promise...“Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” Did you catch the distinction within that carte blanche via The Amplified translation? If you missed it, let me help you. It says whatsoever you ask has to be “within the will of God” before He, God, kicks into gear to get it for you. I doubt Shaniqua The Stripper falls into that parameter. That said, there’s a whole glut of holy goodies that our Heavenly Father would love to drop on our lap. For instance...

1. If you’re a 10th-degree horndog enslaved to lust, He’d love to set you free from your crotchal command center and be liberated to follow that which has eternal, noble worth (Jn 8:36).

2. If you’re a terrified quail, He’d love to turn you into a righteous bold lion (Prov 28:1).

3. If you’re someone who regularly spews lies, hype, and spin, He’d love to morph you into a sober truth-teller devoid of political correctness (Acts 5:29).

4. If you’re more confused with your existence than a termite in a yo-yo, He’d love to communicate to you your peculiar purpose while you schlep this blue pinball (Eph 1:18).

God is a righteous request-answering God. Take Jesus at His word, like a simple child, grab a buddy and do the following and see what happens...“When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action.” - Matthew 18:19 (MSG)

Jesus Was No Joel Osteen 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES I would be willing to give up my left testicle just to have had the opportunity to have heard Jesus preach while He was kickin’ up dust on the mean streets of the Middle East two-thousand years ago. Can you imagine actually beholding the Incarnate Word actually preaching the Word? I don’t know about you, but I hope they have videos of Him preaching that I can watch once I get to heaven because I guarantee that was some epic ... holy ... stuff....

Biblical Masculinity Scares Evil Leaders 2 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES Before Jesus formally stepped into his earthly ministry, when He was a wee little baby, merely cooing and pooping in his swaddling clothes and breastfeeding off the Virgin Mary’s mammaries, He had King Herod try to kill Him. Herod was an insecure, toady, little leader who was extremely paranoid that someone was going to take his authority from him. Herod killed anyone, including friends, family, and foes, whom he deemed a threat...

Keep Your Head on a Swivel 2 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES "The joy of the Lord will arm us against the assaults of our spiritual enemies and put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks." - Matthew Henry Paul closes with this: “Be on the alert…” (Eph. 6:18b) That’s not casual language. That’s urgent. Because you can have everything— and still lose— if you’re not paying attention. Most people don’t fall— because of one big moment. They drift. Slow. Subtle....
