Given the craziness that hit the world less than 3 months after this message I am so grateful for the providence of God!

I was listening to this last night after some time with the Lord and hearing his heart for what is here and right now. This message is even more relevant in 2023. A providence moment is about to break out.

AMEN❣️ Every four generations, the Lord steps in, MEN!

Thank you for your view, it is thought proving! When God hardened pharaoh’s heart, I always assumed it usurped pharaoh’s will. But now I’m not sure. When I have carried a screaming child against their desires: I played a role in hardening their heart (in the situation)

Wow. All I can say is wow. Soooo insightful. Thank you Kris for listening to God. Obeying God. We the church need words like this. Examples like u to show us how to live and listen and obey🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

It was an amazing sermon when you gave it several years ago. So sad that you edited it. It was prophetic. All of it. You are still looking at the elephant’s toe but the Lord will reveal the entire picture in His timing. Love you Kris!

This is an honest question; how do we know when to distinguish between the devil being a thief, liar, and destroyer and to contend in prayer because the “god” of this world is doing the “violating”
VS. staying out of God’s way when HE puts leaders like Nebuchadnezzar/ Obama-Clinton in offices of leadership?

Great sermon, but you are using the term Free Will incorrectly. In all of the examples you gave, God never touched a person's Free Will, though He DID touch their Freedom.

The example I like to use is a child who has been told to go to bed, and refuses to get up from the couch.

Taking away their Free Will would be installing an implant in their brain that would force them to decide to go to bed.

But if you pick them up and carry them to bed, you have forced the external circumstances, but not their Will, which is their ability to make their own decisions.

If they do it out of fear of the consequences of NOT doing it, that's still not affecting their free will, they can still choose to be stubborn and face the angry father, but CIRCUMSTANCES encourage them to make different decisions.

In your vision, you could have CHOSEN to stay blocking God, and He would have tossed you aside, and as you flew through the air, you would still be choosing to block God, because your free will was untouched, but your circumstances WERE touched lol

Jonah for example, he used his free will to take a ship the wrong way, so God moved circumstances until Jonah was in a whale and able to contemplate his life choices in peace, and he changed his mind, not because God forced his will, but because God forced his circumstances.

I believe it's important to recognize that a core aspect of God's character is that His Sovereign decision is to never force our free will, because then our actions are nothing more than a robot, and a loving Father has no interest in robotic children.

I understand your message, and I love the sermon, I think this is just a poor choice of terms to use for the concept, since the Free Will is untouched, even as the freedom to carry out your choices IS limited.

Again, back to the kid who may be carried, but their thoughts are not forced.
