Book 2 - Chap 7 - What Is God Doing In Heaven Now?       grp102
God Is Still Guiding The People of All Nations.
Ice-breaker: What did your parents and older brothers and sistersdo to protect and guide you.

Isaiah 45: 18The LORD alone is God! He createdthe heavens and made a world where people can live, instead of creatingan empty desert. The LORD alone is God; there are no others. 19The LORD did not speak in a dark secret place or command Jacob's descendantsto search for him in vain. (CEV)

Isaiah 48: 16Come closer and listen!  I have never kept secret the things I have said, and I was here before timebegan.

Jeremiah 23: The LORD said:  16Don't listen tothe lies of these false prophets, you people of Judah! The message theypreach is something they imagined; it did not come from me, the LORD All-Powerful. 17Theseprophets go to people who refuse to respect me and who are stubborn anddo whatever they want. The prophets tell them, "The LORD has promised everythingwill be fine." ...... 18But I, the LORD, tell you that theseprophets have never attended a meeting of my council in heaven or heardme speak. 19They are evil! So in my anger I will strikethem like a violent storm. 20I won't calm down, until I havefinished what I have decided to do. Someday you will understand exactly what I mean. Be sure to read all of Jeremiah 23: (CEV)

Acts 3: 24Samuel and all the other prophets who came later also spoke about what is now happening.  25Youare really the ones God told his prophets to speak to. And you weregiven the promise that God made to your ancestors. He said to Abraham,"Allnations on earth will be blessed because of someone from your family." (CEV)

Acts 13: 46...you rejected the message! This provesthat you don't deserve eternal life. Now we are going to the Gentiles.47 TheLORD has given us this command, "I have placed you here as a light forthe Gentiles. You are to take the saving power of God to people everywhere on earth." (CEV)

Acts 14: 15Turn to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them. 16In times past,God let each nation go its own way. 17But he showed that hewas there by the good things he did. God sends rain from heaven and makesyour crops grow. He gives food to you and makes your hearts glad. (CEV)

Acts 17: 25He doesn't need help from anyone. He gives life, breath, and everything else to all people. 26From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided whenand where every nation would be. 27God has done all this, sothat we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn't far fromany of us, 28and he gives us the power to live, to move, andto be who we are. "We are his children," just as some of your poetshave said. (CEV)

2 Thessalonians 3: 2Pray that we may be kept safefrom worthless and evil people. After all, not everyone has faith. 3ButtheLORD can be trusted to make you strong and protect you from harm. (CEV)

Matthew 11: 25At that moment Jesus said: My Father,LORD of heaven and earth, I am grateful that you hid all this from wiseand educated people and showed it to ordinary people. ....  28 Ifyou are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. 29Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest. 30 Thisyoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light. (CEV)
