Guard The Secrets of God!

GUARD GOD'S SECRETS: Joseph told God's secret, and it almost got him killed. (Genesis 37:5-18). I do not believe it was God's will for Joseph to go through all the suffering he did to become the ruler in Egypt. Joseph told God's secret and let it out to the devil. Then the devil tried to kill him to stop it from coming to pass. Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried (tested) him (Psalms 105:19). He had God's revelation. The word had tried (tested) him to see whether he was going to believe God's Word of Revelation or believe the circumstances. But no matter where they put Joseph, he was Successful in everything that was done. He always came out on top. Put milk in a separator and shake it up. The cream will always come to the top. The same is true of people. Joseph had God's Word. Like Abraham, he (Joseph) decided to believe in God's Word, even though he had trouble for many years, starting as a young man. It looked as though he had missed it, but he decided to believe God. When he was taken into Egypt, he was put in prison for something he did not do; but he still believed God and kept the right attitude. He would not let that dream depart from him. God reveals some things to us that He doesn't want us telling everyone. For one thing, God doesn't want the devil to know about it. He would reveal much more to us about the future if we wouldn't tell it to everyone. If you tell God's secrets, the devil will eventually get hold of it and try to stop it. Did you know the devil doesn't know everything? Only God our Father is all knowing! Sometimes we tell God's secrets, even when we are praying. There are some things you shouldn't pray about in English. You should only pray about them in the spirit. Then they will come to pass before the devil finds out about them. This will answer some questions about things God revealed to you that didn't happen. After you revealed it, you told it everywhere. Then the devil brought people across your path who said it wouldn't work and that it wasn't God. They talked you out of it. We must be sensitive to the Spirit concerning the things God reveals. BELIEVING IN HOPE: Now let's go to (Romans 4:17) where Paul talks about Abraham's faith. In verse 17 we find that God called things that were not as though they were, and He taught Abraham to do the same. and we are supposed to be imitators of God our Father as Well as the Lord Jesus Christ. Then in verse 18 He tells what to do when there is no hope. "Who against hope believe in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be." (Romans 4:18). This says that Abraham, when there was no hope, made a decision to believe in hope. You might ask, "What do you mean, he believed in hope when there was none? He went back to God's Word and found the hope he needed. There was no hope naturally, but there were hope supernatural. What are you going to do when there is no hope concerning your financial situation? Or your health situation? Maybe you are in these situations, with no hope naturally concerning your finances or health. You should go to the Word of God and get yourself some Supernatural hope. Check to see what God said about your finances, or your health are anything else that is going on in your life. God believes in miracles. You will too if you keep His Word in your mouth. That's the key: confessing what God said is true concerning your finances and health as well as everything else. "Who (Abraham) against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be (Romans 4:18). It didn't look that way to him; and maybe it doesn't look that way to you; but he decided to believe God's Word, so my question to you when are you going to decide to believe God's Word? So shall thy seed be, just as God said they would. "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadliness of Sarah's womb. (Romans 4:19) notice, Abraham refused to consider his own body, now dead. Naturally Speaking, 100-year-old men don't father children. But Abraham would not consider the fact that his body was dead, he was not just ignoring it: he was doing something about it. Sometimes people just ignore a situation, thinking it will go away. But things won't go away just because you ignored them. Abraham decided or chose to do something about it. He believed what God said. And he started saying the same thing. Abraham may have said something like this: "It sure doesn't look like it's going to come to pass. I sure don't feel like it. But I choose to believe God that I might become the father of many nations." (Romans 4:21). If you will call on the name of the Lord, you shall be saved; call upon God with God's Word in your mouth. I personally challenge you! (Revelation 19:13) "And He Was Clothed with a Vesture Dipped in Blood; And His Name Is Called the Word of God." In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God and without him was not anything made that is made." No, I'm not telling you to pray to Jesus, you pray to the Father in Jesus name telling him what he promised and surely if you do not lose hope it will come to pass. Remember, if you have no hope, you have nothing for faith to give substance to! (Hebrews 11: 1) The Lord Jesus, said that we are supposed to talk to the storm, or mountain even fig trees in our lives (Mark 11: 23). So, what are you going to say? You supposed to say what is written; Jesus shows us this in (Matthew 4: 4 through 11) some of you decide or choose God's method. I must warn you also, you have to fight the good fight of faith: once you have declared what God has said, hold fast to the confession of your faith.
