John 11:4, “But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not meant for death, but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”

Was it not prophesied by God’s sure prophets that Trump’s presidency was not meant for death but for the glory of God for four more years? And did we not see a death? Does it not seem in the natural that just like Lazarus’s death for four days that the presidency died to President Trump? We are now entering the fourth month. Listen carefully . . .

Lazarus was sick; and Jesus said that “it was not meant for death“, but we have always interpreted it as Jesus saying Lazarus would not die, but he lay in the tomb as a dead man soon after for four days. Because Jesus knew the truth and referred to Lazarus really sleeping, knowing his death wasn’t meant for ultimate death, He tried to encourage Lazarus’s sisters. But, that God could be GREATLY GLORIFIED . . . HE allowed the death to take place; for it needed to be even though He knew it was temporary. It needed to happen, because to raise someone from the dead after four days (he stunk on top it all) was a great unprecedented miracle! Christ lingered on purpose!!!!!

What is so significant here is that Jesus said Lazarus wouldn’t “end in death” which means a whole lot different that he would not die. Even though he died Mary & Martha did not say He was a false prophet. He wants us then and wants us today to believe that He is Who He says He is!! It scared the religious leaders to bits! But wait! There’s more!

Verse 11,“This He said, and after this He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may awaken him from sleep.” You wait and see ~~~ that a great awakening is on the tipping point of being revealed for God’s glory, and His glory alone! For He alone does wondrous things!! God will awaken all to see the truth He has planned all along to reveal. His promise is not dead, but only sleeps! His promise WILL LIVE AND GLORIFY GOD!

Verse 15, “I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let’s go to him.” I’m glad He lingered also! Yes, it is uncomfortable when He does, but His ways are not our ways, and I’m so grateful! Faith is what pulls us through! This reminds me of God testing His people various times in the Word of God that He might know our hearts (and it helps us to know our own hearts as well)! Just like today, it seems God isn’t in this transition and preparation of President Trump coming back into his oval office! Read the following:

Deuteronomy 8:2, “And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, in order to humble you, putting you to the test, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.”

God tested Abraham, Genesis 22 when he was told to put to death his promise, his son Isaac. He obeyed God and believed with all that was in him that God would raise him from the dead (Hebrews 19). God changes not, so He keeps testing us one on one, and now the entire country of the USA and places throughout the world where believers who at first believed the prophets yet find themselves wavering as to whether those prophets spoke from God or not.

God is still the God of the Bible! We read it as though it was just a story of yester-year. But God’s Word is living and is alive every day because He lives and is the same for all of us, and those after us, as well as those long before us.

Yes, God still reigns ~ yes, God still is the same ~ Yes, God is testing our hearts, for the prophets CLEARLY heard God and God eagerly stands by to show us all that HE IS GOD of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Jesus did not lie then and He isn’t lying now.

Be encouraged people of God! Let God revive you! Be fearful those who are not the people of God and doubt the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Do not think for a moment that the God of the whole creation on earth and in the heavenlies that He is a figment of our imagination. Truly, HE IS GOD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER. ~~~ Jonathan & Stephanie.

Jonathan saw the verses and shared them with me and what God showed him. Hallelujah!
