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)

4 Lessons From The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES Here’s four things that hit me after Charlie Kirk was assassinated yesterday. ONE: Jesus said if you follow him you will be hated and some will be killed because of fidelity to Him and His word. “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” John 15:18 “If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as...

Are "Youth Groups" Biblical? 4 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES I’ve got a big problem with Christian youth groups. Here are four reasons why I don't like them. It could go up to fifty by the end of this chapter, but for now … we’ll keep it at four. Number one. In my experience, youth groups are lame. When I first got saved, I was twenty-one and a college student. So I was advised to go to “the College Group” that our church had. So I did, and it was weird. Most of the guys and girls that were there...

Thou Shalt Not Kill, but Thou Shalt Hunt 4 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES I wish I had a new gun for every time I’ve had an anti-hunter who (more often than not) is also an agnostic or an atheist, quote to me the sixth commandment, namely “Thou shalt not kill” as a proof text against my God-blessed pursuit of hunting. If I had a new gun, per misquote, from the desperate bunny lovers, then my battery would make Ted Nugent’s arsenal look like Ed Bagley, Jr’s, because, OMG, do they toss that verse around...
