PROPHETIC LOGIC

A friend asked does God know the future and if He does, why should we even try to make a difference in life. Here's my response.


Yes God is all knowing. The last chapter of Revelations says that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Genesis and the 1st chapter of John (the gospel) says that there is nothing created that He didn't create. There are many more scriptures that speak of His all knowing nature. God knows what's going to happen, but our relationship with Him is established in our day to day decisions to come into alignment with His will or not. Our decisions accumulatively form us into the image of Christ or not. That's the purpose of our involvement in life decisions. A little over simplified, I must admit, but that's the basic idea.

I think prophetic mindset is sort of like a computer. It functions on logic. If A is true and B is true then A + B will equal C. Example: If humans are selfish(A) and love of riches is destructive(B), then (A)selfish humans + (B)love of riches equals (C)war, murder, disharmony with nature and the consequences that go with that, etc.  It is written: "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."(James 4:1-3). Since the human experience without the born again factor is predictable and constant, not only can God know the end from the beginning, but you and I, if we're honest with ourselves, can predict many outcomes. The details of how the end will manifest are irrelevant to the bottom line.

God offers mankind alternative endings through Jesus Christ. If, through the born again experience, (A) is a selfless human and (B )is the unconditional love of God and mankind, then (A) + (B) will equal the kingdom of God in the Earth realm. It is written: "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." (John 15:7-8) Godly logic.

 If you are born again into the family of God, then the Father will make known to you the future through His word and spiritual insight. It is written: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15)

People are very predictable. History is proof of that. The same stuff recycled. That's why satan is able to play us so easily. He's been studying us for thousands of years. People who are not born again are walking through life as if walking through a mine field. It is by God's grace that we are not all consumed. Prophecy is not "fortune telling" it is supernatural logic. Selah
