Pliable In The Master’s HandsGod has stated that it is His desire to save all nations from the evil seed of sin. Even though it is through His chosen people, Israel (the Jews) it is not only them who are the objects of His affection. Listen in as we receive more light on this vital topic as we examine the love God wants all people to receive in a message from our Pastor Landis Fisher in a message from Romans 9, he has titled: “Pliable In The Master’s Hands”
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Exodus 20:1 – 7 (KJV)
Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
New Testament Scripture Reading: Romans 9:18 – 26 (KJV)
Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Rom 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Rom 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Rom 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Rom 9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Rom 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) Learn to accept the hand you have been dealt, knowing that God has promised to be with you even in difficult
circumstances, and has chosen to bless those whom He has called, justified and glorified, with the intention
to make you a vessel of honor capable of doing all things required through His Son, Christ Jesus; the PERFECT MODEL!
2) God is keeping His original promises regardless of what ANYONE ELSE may be saying; we MUST TRUST what GOD HAS SAID, supremely and learn to fix our lives, minds, and bodies on the things the Word of God teaches as they are revealed by God the Holy Spirit.
3) It is God’s desire to have you to be His right now, just as you are, so that He can help you make sense out of all you have been through and to teach you the BEST way to use it all for His GLORY; you must be pliable In the Master’s Hands as He molds and shapes us as He chooses!
