Every Little Detail of Your Life
PSALM 37:23-24
23 The steps of a good man are ordered (ordered = to be set up - to be firmly established) by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
We spoke a little about this scripture the other week, of how that your steps are the details of the pathway of your life.
The fact is that every little decision in your life can potentially change the entire outcome of your life – like how the butterfly effect works, and so this is why God has to order and firmly establish your steps in life in order to bring your life out right at the end.
*We often think that the events of our life are random and by chance – but that is the furthest thing from the truth. The fact is that every little detail of your life is ultimately under the control of the power and providence of God.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Even when you fall, it is not the end, because it is then that the Lord upholdeth you with His hand.
ROMANS 2:1-4
1 ¶ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. (Paul is speaking about people who pass moral judgment on others and yet they are just as human with the same inherent sinful nature)
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
PSALM 67:1-2
1 ¶ To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song. God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
Every Little Detail of Your Life
We have been speaking on the subject of the Observer and the Observed – and we saw how that each needed the other in order to give and complete the purpose of expression to the other.
The observer needed something to observe, and the thing that was being displayed and expressed needed someone to observed it in order to be truly expressed.
And this is why that God cannot truly express Himself of His attributes of Healer and Saviour and Comforter and of all of the great things that He was and is, if there was no one who was able to receive and comprehend that expression by needing healing and saving and comforting.
**And so from this we realise that God has to design your life on earth in order for you to be capable of being an “observer” of Him in the capacity that you are able to comprehend the expression of these attributes of God.
**And when you can truly comprehend those things, only then is God truly expressed, and then the mystery of God is finished because God has finally been understood.
*And so this is where the purpose of God lays – in God being able to fully express Himself to human beings.
*And this is what we talk about how that the mighty God has been fully unveiled to us in this hour – in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, the mystery of God (the full expression of His unveiling) would be finished – fully observed.
*When we look back at the biographies of the lives of great people, there is often a lot of complexity that we don’t understand about why certain things happened in their lives, and yet on the other hand there are also a lot things that do happen to people that we can clearly see by hindsight of how that those certain things shaped peoples lives for the purpose that they would achieve later on in their lives.
**And so as people go along in their lives, to the natural thinking man, life would seem just like a series of random events – and yet we know that there is actually no such a thing as a random event, and especially to the believer, because the bible tells us that every little step we take in life is by and under the control of God.
ISAIAH 46:9-10
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_ S.PINES.NC THURSDAY_ 62-0607
E-25 …But you see, God being infinite, therefore He knows the end from the beginning. And before it ever happens, He knows how, when, and where.
(Notice here – nothing can happen in your life unless God allows it, and He doesn’t allow anything unless there is a reason and a purpose for it – and so our past, present, and future is all known by God, every little detail of it, and so because of that we can know for certain that, God is in every detail little of your life) So we can rest assure that as long as we're in Him everything's going just fine. No need of being scared about anything. There isn't anything can bother us. So we're just resting peacefully like little children, and nothing can harm us.
ISAIAH 41:13
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
There is a song written by Joseph H. Gilmore in 1862 during the American Civil War –
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, by His own hand He leadeth me. His faithful follower I would be, for by his hand he leadeth me.
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom,
by waters calm, o'er troubled sea,
still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.
*Through all the up’s and downs and griefs and joys and sorrows of life – God hand is leading us, and guiding us, and upholding us in all of life’s details.
**When we think about how that every soul of every person that has ever lived upon the earth has come into the world at their designated time in history and are born to the parents that God chose for them in order to shape them in a certain way for a work and a purpose that He has for their lives while they are on the earth – it becomes so complex to the human mind that it goes beyond our ability to almost believe it, but yet we know that every single person’s life of where and when they would come into the world and then exit the world has all been preordained by God.
LIFE.STORY_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 51-0415A
E-39 On down through life, many times I... You seen in my little book there how the Angel of the Lord appeared back in those days when I set right on a keg, when I was only about eight years old, or nine, watching the whiskey still run all night long, and get right up and started down packing water back to this still.
And it was right down my road back from the pump where the Angel of the Lord spoke to me, said, "Don't you never drink, or smoke, or defile your body in any way; for there'll be a work for you to do when you get older."
There was a man by the name of Soren Kierkegaard (Danish) 1813 - 1855 – He was a devout Christian thinker that was trained in theology at the University of Copenhagen.
Quote:
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.”
If you get a chance to read about this man Soren Kierkegaard you will find the things of his life and what surrounded his life and of his family circumstances very interested and enlightening.
There is another quote by Frederick William Faber:
“Mercy (kindness) has converted more souls than zeal or eloquence or learning, or all of them together.”
*As mortal humans, when we look at other people’s lives, we tend to judge other people from the viewpoint and benchmark of the standards of our own self-righteous moral level that we have derived out of our own ideas and life experiences.
ROMANS 2:1-4 Opening scripture
1 ¶ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. (Basic human nature is mostly not all that different from one person to another. Sure, there are really bad people in the world, but it is so easy for us to sit in the seat of the scornful and become a judge of others when we have never even walked one step in their moccasins nor understood anything about the background of their lives. And so this is what Paul is speaking about here)
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. (God knows all the background of the truth of their lives but we don’t, and this is why that we simply cannot judge correctly)
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
MATTHEW 10:29-31 (Last week We read this scripture)
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. (Nothing happens in nature or in our lives without God knowing and allowing it)
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
**Our lives are not just an accumulated bunch of random events that happen to us during our life time, but if His eye is on the sparrow, and not one sparrow can fall without God knowing or allowing it, then we can be sure that it is God that has planned our lives from the foundation of the world, and that it is He that has matched the prophecies of the scriptures that He has spoken about us concerning this hour of an end time bride of Christ that was to appear on the earth in these last days – and that we are those people that the details of the word have matched our lives and has been identified in us in this hour.
JEREMIAH 1:5
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
***If you are a believer in this age, then that is because God exactly planned for you to be born into this age, and into a certain location, and by certain parents, and with a certain nature, and with certain traits good and bad, and in the exact image of how you would look so that even your natural looks would match your spoken world theophany body that was already waiting for you on the other side.
***And so then as you would go down throughout the journey of your life – God had already planned every single event of your life so that it would shape you and colour you in certain ways in order to form you into the exact vessel that He had had in his great eternal mind for you to be.
*** God has designed all of our experiences in life for the purpose of moulding our character for that great eternal life of what He had thought of us to be before the foundation of the world – and that is why that nothing happens in your life by chance.

145 …Nothing happens by chance; everything is ordained of God. No matter what happens, all things are going to work together for good.
In the message “Birth Pains” we know that there was this unique event that took place during that message of when Brother Branham was trying to find his scripture verse – in that two pages of the new bible that his wife had just given him for Christmas had stuck perfectly together, and while he was fumbling around trying to work out what was wrong, this Catholic Priest comes up to him with all of his robes on and told him to “hold steady”, and that “God was fixing to move”, and then he hands him his own bible to read out of.
And we can look back and see how that God was in every little detail of what looked like just a random event taking place.
THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.IS.FULFILLED_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-5 MONDAY_ 65-0125
37 And I thought, "God, why did You do that? Why would there be such a thing now?" That's me feeling, you know, to see what it was all about, 'cause I think nothing happens by chance. And I was thinking about the comfort of this brother here, coming, telling me, "'Hold steady,' him being a priest, 'hold steady, maybe God is going to do something,'" or something in that manner. And I thought, "How could that be?"
38 And then, sitting there, like a thunderbolt out of Heaven it came to me. Now, this might not make sense to you, but it does to me, see.
39 I remember, in Luke the 4th chapter, that Jesus entered the synagogue at Nazareth, where He was brought up at, as His custom was to go into the church on the... synagogue, on the Sabbath. And when He did, we notice there that the priest gave Him the Bible, the Scroll. Jesus, looking through the Scroll, found the certain place, Isaiah 61, and He read the Scripture. Then He handed the Bible back to the minister. And then as He turned to the audience, all eyes was upon Him. And He said:
... This day this Scripture is fulfilled...
**And so we see here how that he was able to take that current experience of his life and interpreted it by the word of what had been written in the bible.
In other words, the details of that event in his life had already been written and interpreted by the word, but before he could understand what had just happened, he had to be directed by God to the place in the word of where it was written. In other words, all those details of this life in that event, God was in it and was the composer of it and had already written of it in the word.
We want to change gear a little here…
**Some people in the past have tried to make the message of the hour all about a lot of enthusiasm that takes place within the four walls of a building, and yet when you meet them outside after service and you talk with some of them, their revelation of the message of this hour is very shallow, and yet they want to claim that all of that enthusiasm inside the four walls of a church building is the last and final revival of what we were told by a vindicated prophet that it would be a word revival, a revival of which there would be a people who would be able to see themselves of the details of their lives written in the word.
THE.THIRD.SEAL_ JEFF.IN WEDNESDAY_ 63-0320
253-2 {182} Now, that's what's the reason today that the--the revivals that we're supposed to have... We have denominational revivals; we haven't had a real stirring. No, no, no, no. No, sir. Don't think we got revivals. We haven't. Oh, they've got millions and millions and millions of church members, but not a revival nowhere. No, no.
The--the Bride hasn't had a revival yet. See? There's been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We're looking for it. It will take those seven unknown thunders back there to wake her up again. He will send it. He promised it.
The seven thunders show you who you really are in the mind of God – of your position in the kingdom. The seven thunders were not sent to us so that we could try to work up a big manifestation of emotion and excitement, because the world can manufacture that every day.
To be continued - the Lord willing...
