From Arthur Blessitt:
“I want to ask a
profound question. Who is controlling and regulating the world today: God, the
Devil or human beings?

God must either rule or

Should you believe
anything else other than that God is in control then you have no security or
certainty in this life.

To do full justice to
this question and subject would take a book or many books to discuss. I will
not go there. My columns are a discussion of my personal beliefs and concepts
for the Word of God to my life in this world today. It is my journey of
following Jesus and sharing what He has and is teaching me about Himself.

following Jesus and sharing what He has and is teaching me about Himself.
One of the most
fundamental beliefs of my life is that “God is in control'. That is what sets
me free to go anywhere He leads and live in freedom and joy in a world gone
mad. I do not trust in the wisdom of people but in the Truths of God revealed
in His Word'¦ the Holy Bible.

mad. I do not trust in the wisdom of people but in the Truths of God revealed
in His Word'¦ the Holy Bible.
In this word of almost
total insecurity there is a message almost lost among many people. The concept
that somehow we as humans are in control and making a mess of things is common.
Many have reduced God to some sideline coach or co-pilot. We feel that the
entire world of problems from our health to world wars rests on our own
shoulders. The Kingdoms of God is viewed as something to come and not as a
Kingdom already here and operating.

All I know is that as I
study the Bible I see clearly that nothing is a surprise to God. God knows all
things and rules over all people and kingdoms and nations and the heavenly
hosts. He rises up people and nations and casts them down. Hundreds of times in
the Old Testament of the Bible God is referred to as “The Lord of Hosts'! Host
means multitude and it means that God is Lord or Ruler over all the earth and
the heavens! Lord over all beings on earth or in the heavens, over humans and
angels and any other beings He created.

Just consider the many

I want you to relax and
worship God and follow Jesus and live in the power of the Holy Spirit. Go into
the world in the sure knowledge that Jesus “Is' with you. Fear not! Not one
bird falls to the ground without the knowledge of God. Trust the Lord in all things.
Even in the things you do not understand. Praise God He understands all and
knows the reasons 'why'.
