Listen "God Has a Wonderful Plan for your life"
Episode Synopsis
**1. What is God’s wonderful plan?**Joel Osteen’s best life now--- quote“God didn’t make you to be average. God created you to excel. Therefore, if you will start acting like it, talking like it, seeing yourself as more than a conqueror, you will live a prosperous and victorious life.”Benny Hinn, “God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness.”Fred Price--- said welfare is result of lack of faith. **Heb 11:35-38**35 Women received back their dead by resurrection;and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might **obtain a better resurrection;**36 and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they **were sawn in two**, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated 38 (men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.Hebrews 11:37b-38—"they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated 38 (men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.” **2 Cor 11:24-29**24 Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.26 I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; 27 I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.28 Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. 29 **Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?** 1 Peter 4:12-1412 Beloved, **do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you**, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; 13 but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. 14 If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.**Hebrews 11:35**“and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they **might obtain a better resurrection;”****Heb 11:39-40**39 And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,40 **because God had provided something better for us**, so that **apart from us they would not be made perfect.****2 Cor 4:17-18**17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.**Isa 42:8**8 "I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.**Dan 3:17-18**17 "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.18 "But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."**Hab 3:17-19**17 Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls,18 Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.19 The Lord God is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds' feet, And makes me walk on my high places. For the choir director, on my stringed instruments.
