You Don't Always See How God is Working Part 2
July 23, 2024
When something bad happens in our lives, we so often fixate on the circumstances and how we feel about it. But we so often fail to recognize how God uses what we go through to accomplish a greater plan and purpose. He did this for Joseph as you’ll hear today on Abounding Grace. Pastor Ed Taylor visits Genesis chapter 45 and helps us to see what God is up to, even through that difficulty you may be facing right now!

For quite a few weeks we’ve been looking at the manifestations of the Spirit. Think of these as spiritual power tools, or helps that come alongside your spiritual giftings for a specific time and reason. On occasion the Lord may give you the ability to speak into a person’s life. It may be a comforting word, or something along the lines of exhortation or edification. That’s really what the manifestation of prophecy is all about. Learn all about it today.

Today we're in Genesis chapter 44. God has His ways of getting us to the place He wants us to be. Often that involves the trying of our faith! We see that in the story of Joseph and his brothers.

We may look at all the evil and injustice in the world and start to wonder, “Are they getting away with it!” The truth of the matter is, as we’ll discover today, your sin will find you out. Sin and its consequences will not stay hidden forever. So it’s best to deal with it as God would have us, and come clean before the Lord.

For the last couple of months we’ve been enjoying a study in First Corinthians, and right now considering the various manifestations of the Spirit. There are nine of them, and beginning today pastor Ed Taylor will have a look into Prophecy. Like many of these manifestations there’s a great deal of confusion surrounding it. Some are even weirded out by it, or want nothing to do with it. But when you come to understand that this is just the workings of the Spirit, and Him being made visible on the earth, that certainly should put our minds at ease.
