THE BATTLE AXE: GOD Enjoys Judgment? (12/19/2013)— (6.) Divine judgment is always blessing, for judgment is the resolution of conflict and the settlement of every dispute through the righteous application of the same sacred law that generates and maintains the eternal universe. However, as with duty, judgment is often required where not invited and welcomed; and divine blessing is not always amusement, gratification, or pleasure. Authority and power for judgment are delegated to the Son of the Highest as a further aspect of divine revelation: For created beings and living creatures, judgment is the single divine operation that most clearly and directly displays the righteousness of divinity. Christ Incarnate (we also say, Messiah) is not a counterfeit of, or substitute for GOD; and the Resurrected One presides over all the tribunals of final judgment. He is the agency whereby the full GODhead appears proclaiming sovereign will. See 2nd Kings 1-15, Psalms 9: 1-20 and Acts 17: 24-31, King James Version. (7.) Accusations and charges against GOD of divine cruelty and the denial of justice to children in judgment are naturally generated by conflicts and imbalance among feelings, carnal knowledge, endowments of hope, maturity (we also say, perfection), wisdom, and wrath against sin. Accusers of GOD persist, in part, because they fail to realize the depths of anguish, disgust, heartbreak, pain and revulsion that GOD endured upon seeing Jesus, nailed to the cross and appearing as the personification of all sin from the lives of those receiving his ministry as Savior. In that dark hour, Jesus called for forgiveness—not the elimination of sin—and is yet continuing sacred provisions established through love, the pouring forth of his own innocent blood for atonement and expiation. Thus, the truth that judgment is also the single device that most completely emanates and exposes divine love is seen by the cross with the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. See John 9: 3, Romans 5: 7-9, Hebrews 2: 16-18 and Hebrews 7: 25-27, King James Version.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man. And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me. (Judges 6: 11-17, KJV)

“isah”, what you have done is call for a personal testimony from a prophet or spokesperson of GOD through Jesus Christ. I am unashamed to say, I have experienced what others call “miracles” including healing and sacred visions. May you rightly receive and apply the points that Christ will share with you, here:
(1.) Miracles from GOD are provided as aspects of prophecy and divine revelation, not so much as displays of heavenly approval and favor with GOD. To those lacking discernment (i.e., skill at using spiritual things to recognize, evaluate, and amplify spirit content within objects, events, persons, and other spiritual things) miracles appear as reversals and suspensions of laws for nature and the physical world. However, all miracles occur in accordance with the same divine law that has generated and now maintains the full universe of GOD.
(2.) Miracles are sacred events that emerge through divine purpose; and may include “evil” (we say, arbitrary and unwanted change; alterations of existing divine order; calamity; disaster; upheaval; widespread damage and loss). Sin, defiance, usurpation and wickedness do not appear through miracles. Such attacks upon divine order become visible through attitudes, behavior and conduct of created beings and living creatures, and do not derive from the many lawful acts of GOD. Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, eternal person, and all Creation. Sin may dominate awareness and self-will in such a way that miracles provided on a person’s behalf will not be recognized, or correctly embraced.
There is far more to be said, properly shared, and spiritually understood. (For example, (3.) Miracles are known and “seen” through operations of faith; however, faith does not always result by the operations of miracles. In fact, many experience confusion, doubt, fear, and uncertainty. There must be a peculiar preparation to receive miracles; and this may come by hearing special testimonies with discernment, by regular fellowship among believers, by study of the holy writings, and by prayer and unselfish intercession that is importunate.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5: 20-21, KJV)
