FINDING YOUR WAY HOME IS VICTORY (PART IV)

FINDING YOUR WAY HOME IS VICTORY

(PART IV)

We are still back in time before Mary was born - still in the Garden when Adam and Eve fell, which God knew they would sin. Back to Genesis 3:15 - God said to the serpent "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shalt bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel." God knew every seed of conception that would ever be born before they were born. God knew every person that would ever be born upon the face of this earth before they would be born. God knew about every good thing, and every evil thing that would happen on earth. God also knew about every defeat, and every victory that man would go through. But, no matter what kind of victory, or how many victories man would go through God knew it wasn't eternal victory.

GOD'S FLAWLESS PLAN

God had a plan - His plan was flawless, and yes - that plan was Jesus. But, I want to talk some more about Mary too! The reason I want to talk about Mary is because she was just like you, and me. Although, she was special - and highly favored in God's eyes. Of course she was - she was going to be the mother of His only begotten Son Jesus! Now, get this - Mary didn't know this! She didn't know she was going to be the Mother of the Son of God, the Saviour of the world! The Hebrew people knew that there would be a virgin child that would conceive, and give birth to the Son of God. But, they didn't know who that virgin girl would be, or how God was going to accomplish this conception. But, God did! God knew everything about Mary. He knew about every sad moment that would ever in her life, and every happy moment that would ever happen to Mary before she was even born. God also knew Mary loved Him.

GOD'S ANTICIPATION

God's anticipation was stirred for generations, and fulfilled the day that His angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, because she was about to be visited by an angel, and was about to conceive by the Holy Spirit His only begotten Son Jesus. So, can you imagine the excitement God, and all the angels must have felt? WOW! - Including the excitement Mary must have felt too! But - that excitement was short lived for awhile. God knew the horror that was going to happen to His precious Son Jesus - God knew the anguish that Mary was going to experience as the mother of His son Jesus. He was going to feel the same anguish that Mary was going to feel. This was His Son, and this was Mary's Son too! - God knew the anguish and painful torture that Jesus would have to suffer, because of Satan's sadistic seed. God also knew Mary would pass every trial as a parent while raising His Son Jesus. God knew Mary would be the perfect mother for Jesus.

AT THAT MOMENT AND TIME

At that moment - and time, God knew everything about who Mary would be. But, most of all He knew who He made Mary to be, and what her greatest mission in life would be, and that included the anguish she would experience while God, and Jesus were experiencing the same thing at the same time she was. All to fulfill God's purpose - SALVATION FOR MANKIND! It was at that one place, and time that it all became possible. That place was before man, and was created in this realm. But, in God's realm it was a reality. It was salvation. IT WAS VICTORY OVER SATAN.

A GOAL THAT WAS WON

God's ultimate goal was to get man - you, and me back to where we were before Adam and Eve sinned. To the place without Satan in our lives. Life was perfect except man needed a permanent Savior - Jesus. Man needed permanent victory. Man needed to find his way home to have victory. Man needed to get back to that same place, and time where God is - that same realm where God sees HISTORY and the future were in the same place, and time. DESTINY - Man needed to see himself as who God created him to be - VICTORIOUS - not who Satan wanted him to be - powerless, and a slave to his own addictions. God's FLAWLESS - PERFECT plan - through Jesus is eternal victory over our addictions. Isn't that what you want? Permanent victory over your addictions? Read the conclusion next week of - "FINDING YOUR WAY HOME IS VICTORY!" I will explain how God showed me how to have this permanent victory over drugs, alcohol, and depression. You name it. Isn't that what you want? Permanent victory!? Stay tuned for (Part V) of "FINDING YOUR WAY HOME IS VICTORY"
