        God Knows

        When Time

        Is Running

             Out!

    Have you ever asked yourself when you’re facing an unknown outcome, “Where does this end?”  You wonder what the ending will be.  Where’s it going?  How will it end up?  As a human we can’t always see that.  In fact, it seems most of the time, we don’t know the answer to those questions.  Thank goodness we serve a God who DOES.

    He tells us in His Word in Isaiah 46 that He knows the end from the beginning.  He knows the result or the outcome from the very beginning of when anything started.  So when He speaks a word to you, He is speaking from a position of knowledge and authority.

    That’s why in Isaiah 46 He says, For I am God—I only—and there is no other like Me who can tell you what is going to happen.  All I say will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.  (Ref. Isaiah 46:9, 10 TLB.)  No one else, not another person or being can tell you what’s going to happen as God can.  He knows the end from the beginning.

    Before anything ever gets started, He already knows where it’s going and where it will end.  Because of that you can trust Him when He gives you direction of the way to take.  You can trust Him in His guidance of you each day.  You can trust His Word and what He’s doing in your life.

    So when you are wondering where something is going to end, know that God knows.  And because He knows, He is the safest One to whom you can go.  You can rely on Him when you need something to happen.  God knows when time is running out.

    When you need to have direction or help or something to change, and there isn’t much time remaining.  You’re not sure where this is going to end.  But you can rest assured because you know that God knows what to do when time is running out and He knows how this is going to end.  Rest assured He will make something happen before it’s too late.  You don’t have to wring your hands or walk the floor or stay awake at night thinking about it.  Hey!  God knows where this is going to end and you can trust Him to help you even when it seems you’re in the final moments of needing a miracle.

 

Don’t have to sweat it.

    I think of a couple who are Partners with us and they had requested that we pray for her brother.  He was facing the inability to make his house payment and so he had gotten behind on it.  Now he was running out of time.  He wasn’t sure where this was going to end.  Would he lose his home and everything he held dear or what?

    So we prayed and interceded because we knew when time is running out God knows it.  And He will intervene.  So I just received a note from them that says, “We have some praise reports.  God was right on time to help my brother with paying his house payment, which was several months behind.”  The funds came in before time ran out, he was able to make the house payment!   Then they went on to say that also since we had been praying for their finances, they have increased!

    We don’t have to sweat it.  We don’t have to sweat not knowing the ending.  That man was behind on his house payment and he couldn’t see where it would all end.  His sister and her husband couldn’t see how their finances could increase.  But God knew!  And He knew time was running out.  So as prayer and intercession went up to Him, He didn’t say, “Yeah, I know where this is going.  I know how bad it can get.  Wish I could help you.”

    We need to see God the way He is, not the way Satan tries to make Him out to be.  Satan would have us think that God is unknowing, and even if He did know what was going on He doesn’t have time for us, and He just doesn’t do those things.  Just doesn’t do those things!  I don’t think so.  God’s Word says something different.

    He does tremendous and wonderful and amazing miracles for us.  He takes care of us and watches over us.  We have a special place in His heart and He wants to have a special place in our heart.  He wants a one-on-one relationship where we realize He knows absolutely everything about us, and He knows where every circumstance and desire will end.

    So when it seems time is running out in order to see something happen, God knows it.  And we can go to Him and get a positive response.  We can get some action!

 

Will God do something about it?

    This is what the man in the Bible David found out when he was running out of time.  Would God see his dilemma?  Would He know what was happening?  And would He do something about it?  Same questions we have today.  Does God see what I’m facing?  Will He know what’s happening to me?  Most important, will He do something about it?

    This would be put to the test when David was facing a difficult place.  He was just minding his business trying to fulfill God’s will for him when he came under attack.  We’ve all been there.  In fact, there isn’t anything Satan hates worse than to see us fulfilling God’s will.  That’s when he comes to disrupt it.

    For David, God’s will was for him to become the next king of Israel.  But the current King, Saul, was against him and so he saw just one way to stop this from happening.  He would take him out.  Destroy David and make sure he couldn’t ever assume the position.

    But when you are meant to assume a position, Satan cannot take you out.  I’m talking about any kind of position.  Just as that man was in his home and Satan tried to take him out of it because he couldn’t make the payment.  Maybe he has tried to take you out of the position of health or in your job, a place you know you’re supposed to be, take you out of the position of a good marriage or good family life, take you out of a position of success in what you’re endeavoring.  And he puts you up against a hard place so it appears time is running out and you must give up God’s will for you.

    He did a great job of this with David.  It happened when David and the men who were following him, knowing he would be king one day, were in desert hideouts and in the hills.  Day after day, Saul was searching for him.  But here’s an interesting part of that scripture.  It says even though Saul was doing that, God never turned David over to him.  (Ref. I Samuel 23:14 TLB.)   God did not give him into his hands.

    My friend, God will never turn you over to the plans of the enemy.  He won’t give you into the hands of that what the devil is trying.  Because he knows where Satan is going with his plans, he puts a stop to them.

    That’s what He did for David.  Some townspeople, who had seen David, reported to Saul where he was hiding.  They went so far as to promise the king that they would hand him over to him if he came down there to get him.  But David heard that Saul was on his way.  You see, Satan may have his spies, but God knows more than his spies know.  He knows where everything is going and what we must do to avoid a bad outcome.

 

God moves in and makes the enemy move out.

    So when David heard that Saul was on his way, he and his men went further into the wilderness of the desert.  There, they found a mountain and he hid on one side of it.  But Saul and his men got nearer and nearer.  They got to the point that they were just on the opposite side of the mountain.  They became aggressive and started to move in on David and his group.  That’s when you feel time is running out.  And in the natural it is.

    The bad report says you don’t have much time.  The job says you don’t have much more time to work there.  The bank, the company, something or someone says you’re running out of time.  The marriage advisor, the attorney, the doctor.  But when you’re given that news, that isn’t the first time God heard it.  He knows when time is running out.  He knows the end from the beginning.  So trust it into His hands.

    When Saul began to move in on David, he tried his best to escape but it seemed there wasn’t any way out.  Oh that horrible feeling.  When it doesn’t seem there is any way out.  Time is running out and you have nowhere to go.  Now you know how David felt.  But just before the hands of Satan could shut in on David and God’s purpose for him, God moved in.

    You see, when the devil moves in, God moves in.  Oh hallelujah!  He knows his every move.  He knows when the time has run down and Satan is moving in for the final capture of something in your life.  And that’s when He moves in and makes the devil move out.

    So what was God going to make happen?  How could He get David and his men out of such a tight spot.  How can He get YOU out of that tight spot.  I mean it’s tight.  Meaning there isn’t much more time, there isn’t any other avenue that you can see to take, you don’t have the resources or the help or support.  Or maybe you just don’t have the energy or hope anymore.  You’re in a tight spot.  So what will God do?

    He’ll do the same thing for you He did for David.  The Philistines who were the enemies of Israel began to raid their towns.  If Saul and his troops stayed there to get David, they would forfeit much of his kingdom to the enemy.  So they had to GO!  Oh, it feels so good when the devil has to go!  When he has to relinquish his hands from interfering in your life.  He has to beat a track out of there because God has moved in.  You see, the devil makes it seem as if time is running out on you, but in reality, time is running out on him.  God is stepping in to make sure he can go no more.

    So Saul had to beat a track out of there and return to fight the Philistines.  He quit the chase.  You see when God moves in and does His work, Satan has to quit the chase.  He has to stop going after that thing in your life.  And that’s when you’re good to go.  Time did not run out.  God made sure the ending was good.

    Because He did this for David, he named that place where they were, “The Rock of Escape.”  Another version of the Bible updates the name to what we would call it today.  It’s called, “Narrow Escape.”  (Ref. I Samuel 23:29 MSG.)

    You may feel you’re up against something tough.  But God knows the time.  Even if it appears to be a narrow escape, you WILL make it.  Go to the One who knows the end from the beginning and rely on Him.  Rely on Him to step in and move in.  Don’t you like the sound of that!  God is stepping in and moving in to take care of you.

    God can make sure the ending is good!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU.

   Oh God, how great You are.  You know everything about my friend and what they’re facing right now.  You know about the tight spot they’re in.  So right now, this very moment, we’re coming to You with trust in our hearts.  We know You will not allow time to run out.  You will show them the good You have planned.

    For truly the enemy has an ending planned that is bad.  But he will not get the right to fulfill it.  YOUR will will be fulfilled.  They’re going to see a good ending.  Thank You, God, they have a good ending coming.  You are moving in and moving out the efforts of the enemy.

     In fact, You’re showing me that You’re moving in miracle goodness.  Mercy and grace.  Such spiritual energy is going into their conditions at this moment, it’s amazing.  They will see the AMAZING done.  Much will be accomplished for them because the enemy will have to turn and go.  He’ll have to beat a track out of their life.  He can do no more.  Instead of time running out on them, time has run out on the devil.  No more.  So we thank You for the great victory they’re seeing in the end.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.

 

Peace and trust in your heart!

     God spoke such powerful and good words to you in that prayer.  So allow them to give you peace and trust in your heart.  He’s also called us here to continue praying over you and be in agreement against what the enemy is doing.

     So it’s important right away that you contact us.  Tell us what you’re facing.  We will believe for God to show you the good ending by His power.  We’re also going to write to you and share words from His Spirit to help you.  So get in touch soon by clicking here and what you share will come directly to us.  Jeanne and John           

 

SPECIAL NOTE: Get the blessings started!

      One of the most important ways we can follow God is in our giving.  God is a giving God, and He wants us to be His giving people.  Ones who will take the funds that He has put in our lives and give a portion to Him.

      Why is this so important to Him?  Because He knows two big results that will come because of our giving.  First, we will cause His work to be done in the lives of people by our gifts.  We make a big impact on the spiritual realm when we give.

     Second, He desires us to give because He wants to give back to us.  So His Word is filled with promises of all the great blessings and help we’ll receive when we give to Him.  We encourage you to follow His ways today and join John and me as we give into Alcott Ministries. Then we’ll send you a letter that will talk about all that God has for your life and what’s happening in the ministry.  So let us hear from you.  Get these blessing from God started!  (Ref. I Corinthians 9.)
