How God uses people

Before I get too far down the road, I should mention that this thinking process began after reading Waking the Dead by John Eckeard. I want to give credit where credit is due, but I don’t I am going to be able to clearly delineate where idea ends and another begins. So, if you want to give John credit for this whole mess, feel free.

God is trying to captivate people who have no allegiance to Him by drawing them with those who do. He creates interest by:

  • Blessing them. That is, He does good in their lives. This could include miracles, healing, provision and guidance.
  • Renewing them. That is, changing their hearts so they live closer to the original way God intended.

This renewal is by healing and recreating their hearts. God puts renewed life in their hearts, and them by the law of inside-out, man acts in a renewed way.

So, the enemy’s main threat is God’s family, living in renewed ways within themselves, with others in the family, and with people outside of the family.
