The Power of the Gospel!

“Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost”
‘He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth’ (Psalm 135:7) Truly God does ‘whatever pleases Him’ (Psalm 135:6) This was demonstrated with Elijah’s powerful confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18)
God sent the drought to draw the people into the arena of decision. Then, He sent the fire to convince them of their sin. Finally, He sent the rain to remind them of His Blessing.
He is able to do ‘whatever please Him’ at whatever time it pleases Him. Peter had to spend time trying to convince the Jerusalem eldership that God was the Author of the Cornelius visitation (Acts 11:4) When God was ready to visit the Gentiles, He did whatever pleased Him.
He is a mighty God, and His power can flow in whatever direction His love desires. Get out of the way and let God move! The result will be as it was in Acts 11:21: ‘A great number of people believed and turned to the Lord’
