Often, Christians can use "all things are possible with God" as a holy trump card to cover things they want to be true, or doctrines they want to support but cannot prove from Scripture. I am getting a sense that the church is a little uncomfortable right now because of the Democratic control of the Federal government. To that, I am thankful that God, through His Providence, has made the church uncomfortable, since comfort inevitably leads to complacency. It should be different, but the Fall pretty much clinched that discomfort would be the norm in this life.
But, part of this uneasiness translates to unbelief that abortion could be made illegal again in this nation. It seems like we have become indifferent (myself included until 1/22/09) to the reality that this was known as murder for most of our nation's history, and that it is possible to reverse this decision, even in our lifetime. We must believe that, or else we are not following the God of Israel, who seemingly all of a sudden hears the cries of HIS people.
It makes me think of the Israelites when the Pharaohs no longer knew who Joseph was, and made God's people slaves. Generations passed with this situation, until one day, God comes to Moses and says "I have heard the cries of my people" and He sent Moses as the means to deliver His people from bondage.
So, it is possible that God could be hearing the cries of HIS people, who want to see the injustice done to millions upon millions over all these years end, now. It would certainly be consistent with God's character to do that now, when it seems so improbable that many consider it impossible, so that we know it was Him, not us, and that He alone gets the glory, because we know it was not possible apart from the power of God.
Walls fall down, the enemy is put into confusion and falls to 300 men Israelite armies, seas part. That is what God has called us to here at Joshua's Voice, to have the supernatural courage to enter the battle and be a part of His-tory, that all the world may know that He is God and there is no other like Him.
