Jeremiah 32:26-29 (ESV)
"26 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
27 "Behold, I am the LORD, "THE GOD OF ALL FLESH". Is anything too hard for ME?
28 Therefore, thus says the LORD: Behold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (modern day Iraq), and he shall capture it.
29 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, to provoke me to anger."
Nebuchadnezzar was the leader of a nation controlled by the enemy, satan himself. Today we know these people as Iraqis. ALMIGHTY GOD, the CREATOR and sustainer of LIFE, creates ALL life, even King Nebuchadnezzar. All people are created by GOD ALMIGHTY, even those who choose to believe in the great deceiver. GOD is calling many people who have been blinded by the enemy into HIS marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9), even the followers of the faith the same people who Nebuchadnezzar served!
There are those who choose to serve YAHWEH, the great I AM, as HE is the ONE WHO created LIFE, no matter which Spirit they choose to follow in life. GOD ALMIGHTY is all powerful and isn't limited by humans to perform any tasks for HIS might to be displayed. However, HE has chosen to use us to spread the good news of JESUS CHRIST to a lost and dying world, whose only hope of seeing the TRUTH is to have HIS TRUTH shared as the WORD. We may not be great orators with great communication skills, but we are HIS CHOSEN and we are called to be tools in HIS service for a reason. We need to make sure we are fulfilling our calling to the MASTER!
Since GOD is in control of everything, even the followers who are "an individual of a people that do not acknowledge the GOD of the Bible", or heathens! Remember Pharaoh of Egypt, his anger with the children of Israel in Exodus 14:4 drove him into the depths of the Red Sea, all because he was being led by the spirit of the enemy. The followers of Pharaoh weren't created by the enemy, but by GOD ALMIGHTY, and they chose to follow the enemy who has no alternative but to bring death and destruction wherever he goes. His nature can bring nothing else!
All GOD's children are capable of serving YAHWEH or serving the enemy as HE is "THE GOD OF ALL FLESH". If we choose to follow HIM, we find LIFE. If we choose to follow the enemy, we find death! Just as Joshua chose to follow YAHWEH, we too can choose to follow HIM. The "GOD OF ALL FLESH" is calling all of HIS Creation to the TRUTH (John 14:6), but we must SEE the TRUTH first!
FATHER IN HEAVEN, my prayer is that YOU will allow the scales be removed from the eyes of those who have been blinded by the enemy and they can SEE YOUR glorious light and that YOUR NAME be glorified forever!!!
