“What Difference Does it Make”

What Difference Does it Make

Establishing on a firm foundation of love and grace, the Biblical principles that will strengthen and encourage those who hear. The same principles that move us beyond these walls, and with great authority, impact our community.

You might say this is the mission statement that I have used to form the words I share each week. Hoping and praying that purpose will take our thoughts and dreams forward in the plan of God.

I want to share some thoughts titled, “What Difference Does it Make?”

Balak, king of Moab. Feared Israel.

Numbers 23:19-21 KJV

19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

19 God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?

20 You see, I have received His command to bless Israel. He has blessed, and I cannot reverse or qualify it.

21 [God] has not beheld iniquity in Jacob [for he is forgiven], neither has He seen mischief or perverseness in Israel [for the same reason]. The Lord their God is with Israel, and the shout of praise to their King is among the people.

David wrote in Psalms 138:7, KJV. “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.”

(The enemy can not touch the blessed of God.)

Psalm 102 does not have a confirmed author but some Believe it was written by David after his trouble with Absalom. The header says this. “Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion. A Prayer of the Afflicted when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord.”

Psalms 102:24-28 KJV

24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee. We Are Blessed

Hebrews 1:10-12 KJV

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

(God is eternally the same!)

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Hebrews 13:20-21 KJV

20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James 1:16-17

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

James 1:17 AMP

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].

He never changes. He never moves from His purpose. Revival, awakening, a move of God is not about where we are. If God moves in, Dallas, Pensacola, Canada, Kentucky, California, The Colonies.

Azusa Street, and on and on. “What Difference Does it Make?” (If God did it anywhere, He will do it here.)

(The enemy can not touch the blessed of God.)

1 John 4:4 AMP

Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].

What difference does it make where we are at. God is the same. He simply needs us, needs you to say yes.

Yes to His love and grace. Yes to the call in your heart. Yes to the dream you have. Yes to His kingdom authority. Yes to the blood He shed for you.
