TROUBLE

CALLING UPON GOD WHILE IN TROUBLE THE VICTORY AFTER CALLING UPON GOD

From the very beginning, God wanted to fill the earth with His influence.

GOD MENTIONS HIS IMAGE AND THEN "MULTIPLY."
The picture of the woman being the means to multiply God's images in the world and being attacked by the enemy to no longer do so, is throughout the Bible.
We read the continuation of the story of the woman to bear a child with murderers around her ready to kill it in Rev. 12.

Pharoah came to kill the Hebrews for the very same reason that Satan tried to stop the seed of the woman. Because he had to stop the multiplying of this SEED.

Israel was MULTIPLYING.

This woman is ISRAEL.

While the woman was in the old testament she was pregnant with a child to be born. JESUS CHRIST.

You will get tired and you will have to stop and give up, as the devil runs up to you, until you learn how to live by walk.

Moses told Israel that they must stand still and see the glory of the Lord WHEN THE ENEMY WAS CHASING THEM.

And after God opened the Red Sea, as He delivered the people as Moses promised He would , God spoke and described it very notably like this:

He referred to their experience of standing still and waiting for God to rescue them from the pursuing enemy as being borne up on eagle's wings.

God told Abraham that His seed would multiply and be as innumerable as the stars of the heavens and the sands of the seashores.

The very thing Satan used to annihilate the multiplying of Jesus Christ so that there would be many images of God and therefore many vessels of God, was the thing that actually brought about the multiplication.

You would have thought the devil would have caught on and stopped the execution of Jesus!

Even the night before the very crucifixion, we read...

Jesus showed them that He would multiply.

The whole picture of Eden came again. And when the devil used Judas to take the Lord to the cross, Judas KISSED the Lord.

It was like the serpent telling Eve she would be as gods.

Satan was sly, but he was soon to find out that his very means of stopping the multiplying would actually bring it about. THE TEMPLE MULTIPLIED.

What happened to things that died and were buried?

Jesus said the temple would be raised up.

They destroyed the temple. After only one person was known to be the temple of God, after Jesus resurrected we then read...

Where there was only one who was the temple, now we read that every single christian was called the temple.

Read about the multiplying that occurred...

All 120 were filled with God's Spirit.

The persecution that the devil sent to stop the multiplying actually enhanced the multiplying and the people preached everywhere they fled to.

Satan sends hardships your way.

REJOICE NOT AGAINST ME, ENEMY.
