The Mystery Of His Will – The
Even Control
....PDF Version
And
O Jehovah, until when shall I cry and You will not hear? I cry out to
You of violence, and You do not save! Why do You show me evil, and You
look on toil? For destruction and violence are before me; and there is
strife, and contention rises up. Therefore the law has become helpless, and
justice does not always go forth. For the wicked entraps the righteous;
therefore justice goes forth, being perverted. Look among the nations, and
behold and wonder marvelously; for I will work a work in your days which
you will not believe, not even if it is declared to you. For lo, I raise up the
Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth
of the land to possess homes not their own. Habakkuk 1:2-6 MKJV
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you
therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you
the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all
things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Beware
therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold,
ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work
which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. Acts
13:37-41
Because you have said, Jehovah has raised us up prophets in Babylon; so
says Jehovah of the king who sits on the throne of David, and of all the people
who dwell in this city, and of your brothers who have not gone out with
you into captivity; so says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will send on them the
sword, the famine, and the plague, and will make them like worthless figs which
cannot be eaten from badness. And I will pursue them with the sword, with the
famine, and with the plague, and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of
the earth, to be a curse, and a waste, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all
the nations where I have driven them, because they have not listened to My
Words, says Jehovah, which I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising
up early and sending; but you would not hear, says Jehovah. And hear the Word
of Jehovah, all you exiles, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon; so says
Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, about Ahab the son of Kolaiah and of
Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in My name: Behold, I
will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall
kill them before your eyes. And a curse shall be taken up from them by all the
exiles of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, May Jehovah make you like
Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire, because
they have committed evil in Israel, and have committed adultery with their
neighbors' wives, and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not
commanded them; for I am He who knows and a witness, says Jehovah.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us
unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath
made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath
abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the
mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in
himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather
together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are
on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance,
being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things
after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his
glory, who first trusted in Christ. Ephesians 1:3-12
Grace (favor and blessing) to you and [heart] peace from God our
Father and the
Let all the earth fear the Lord [revere and worship Him]; let all
the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was
done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord brings the counsel of the
nations to nought; He makes the thoughts and plans of the peoples of no effect.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of His heart through all
generations. Psalm 33:8-11 AMPLIFIED BIBLE
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a
man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then
do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of
the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the
will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:24-28
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of
reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come
will come, and will not tarry. Hebrews 10:35-37
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever
and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou
hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy
God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou,
Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens
are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they
all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up,
and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
Hebrews 1:8-12
Love not the world, neither the things that
are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not
in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the
world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye
have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were
not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have
continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest
that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye
know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but
because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that
denieth that
“The earth lay in its infancy in pieces,
each part being created, part by part. In the midst of the earth was the Lord
standing in the midst of the earth that He alone was creating, laying through
the center of the earth a huge beam. This beam formed the foundation of the
earth and also at the same time formed a timeline in the earth. I saw that the
Lord laid out this beam, and then built the earth around it. As the beam lay,
the Lord would stretch Himself first one way, then the other way over the
length of the beam, anointing it with His presence and placing it accurately
within His perfect will as to what the beam would do and how the beam would be
used IN TIME as a factor displaying both His person and His will. The earth was
founded upon this beam, even the will of the Lord, and everything that was
built out from that point was built in His will according to the plan that He
had laid out upon it. This beam represented to me the fact that His will is
being done in the earth, even as we speak, and that it is according to the plan
He laid out even from the foundation of the world. As I looked at this beam I
noticed that there was upon it a course of flowing blood, even the blood of the
Lord who was as a lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. Therefore
everything that was built upon the beam outward was built with the covenant of
blood being the first part and the last part. All was washed and contained in
the blood of this covenant, which blood covered the beam.”

Our Heavenly
Father is not going to waste anything at all in this world, He is taking all
that is in the earth and in the lives of men and nations, righteous and good or
base and evil, and He will waste none of it! As we open up the next part of the
study on The Mystery of His Will, we will see that the Lord is in total perfect
control one way, then in total perfect control another way. That He is in
control of all that is based in the counsel of His will, and that He will in
time bring all that has strayed outside of His will back into that total
perfect control. There is a doctrine in our day which I term “super-sovereignty”.
This doctrine states that no matter what is taking place in the earth, the Lord
is in total perfect control of it. This doctrine states this as a fact and as a
rule by which we can rest in the Lord knowing that He will do His perfect will
as relates to the nations and this present creation. Yet in this doctrine is a
willing lack of intelligent understanding as to what the Lord’s total perfect
control truly is. To understand this one must realize that there are two
portions to the Lord’s will, which portions address His control. These portions
taken separately both relate to The Mystery of His Will, but they are not to be
taken out of context, otherwise the doctrine of control becomes tainted and
lukewarm and men who hold to that doctrine allow not their lives to be seen as
a standard of righteousness.
The Lord had
one will which worked in the creation of the earth, and another will which was
seen when men began to populate the earth. In both cases understanding and
wisdom is needed to see how the Lord is working things in total complete and
perfect control. It was the will of the Lord for the earth to be created and
for a garden to be fashioned in which He created man, even
When the Lord created all the trees of the
garden in Genesis, you will note that He made ALL of them, including the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil, ordaining that man would eat also of that
tree even though He forbade it. He made it to be eaten. And this tree is
working in our day in an expanse that is according to His perfect will. The
Lord has ordained that the fruit of that tree, good and evil, would both work
and grow and come to full fruition in the world of men. That tree has now borne
full fruit, its branches have circumvented all nations and every man everywhere
no matter who they were have partaken of its fruit. No man is able of his own
will to say he did not eat the forbidden fruit that
So then to clarify this to you. In saying
that the Lord is in total perfect control of all things you have made a true
statement when you realize that everything effected by good and evil will be
brought into His will. All things which worked as good, is not accepted by the
Lord. All things that worked as evil, is not accepted by the Lord. Both good
and evil is not what the Lord was looking for, but He ordained it to happen. He
did this so that mankind would learn one simple thing. That the perfect will
of the Lord is that everything abides in LIFE. Not under the influence of man’s
own way. The workings of good and evil are the workings of man’s own way. The working
of life from the Father is the Lord’s way. In both cases men are still free
spirits, but not under the influence of forbidden fruit in Father’s perfect
will. These things are important to understand. If you do not get what was
just written in this paragraph, go read it again very slowly so you will
understand.
The Lord set a timeline in which He
included His own will. He subjected His will to this same timeline, creating it
in such a way as to show His sovereign will at the beginning, and then His
learned will later on as men sought after the Lord. In the first paper on The
Mystery of His Will I wrote that we SEEK
– LEARN – DO. Now it must be
understood that only those who realize they have the fruit of good and evil in
them and who have been convinced of this by the Holy Spirit who convinces them
of this negativity, that these ones are the only ones who can seek the true
will of the Lord. I daresay that these ones who come to this place of seeking
His perfect will are the ones who come into HIS TOTAL PERFECT CONTROL. If
mankind is not seeking His will then you cannot say that mankind, abiding in
the fruit of good and evil, would be able to be under His total perfect
control! Instead they are wild beasts with nothing tamed. All they do is rejected
and nothing they do is approved. Their lists of fleshly murders and lusts only
confirm the fact that they are NOT in the Lord’s total perfect control! The
jaws of hell are gaped wide open to receive the nations because they have
forgotten the Lord and they know not His will. They are apostate, every one of
them, and they are cast out as refuge and as lost before the Father. If a man
goes insane in criminal madness and commits horrendous crimes, you cannot say
that that man is under the total perfect control of the Lord. But if you see
the Lord draw that man in time, whether here in this time or in the time of the
restitution of all creation, then and only then can you say that he has come
under the Lord’s total perfect control. But until he is drawn to walk towards
the Lord being brought there by the drawing power of His love, then that man
cannot be seen as abiding in the control of the Father. So in other words, man
is outside of the Lord’s perfect will, but the Lord works to bring them into
His perfect will. Once the Lord begins to draw a person to that will, THEN they
are in His total perfect control.
What do you suppose the lake that burns
with fire and brimstone will do? It will burn off of mankind the stubborn will
which is contrary to the Lord’s will. It will take that which the Lord
subjected man to, death, and will burn its bonds off. The flames of fire will
lick the lashes of cords that have bound men in rebellion and will dispose of
those cords as one would burn refuse in a hot scorching fire. It is the
rebellious will, maintained by ignorance that is burned. The same standard of
burning happens to the Overcomer. They are baptized in the very same fire. The
fire that constitutes the lake that burns with fire and brimstone and the fire
upon the brow of the Overcomer are the very same kind of fire. In both cases,
whether it be the Overcomer or the sinful nation, the cords of ignorance as to
the will of the Lord are burned off. It
is this burning. Such is the ordination in fire, no one will escape it.
So the picture of creation goes this way.
The Lord, in the beginning in the total perfect will which has neither
variableness nor shadow of turning, created the world in such a way as to allow
the world to be totally ignorant of this perfect will. Men then are separate
from that perfect will until the Lord comes to them and draws them each back
unto Himself. It is then that the will
of the Lord is once again discovered, the SEEK
– LEARN – DO that I mentioned in the last writing. In the meanwhile, while man is apart from the
Lord and ignorant of His will, one cannot say that the Lord is at that time in
total perfect control of everything relating to man during this apostate phase.
Yet the Lord in sovereignty moves by His spirit to BRING that apostate man BACK
INTO His total perfect control, or if you will, to SEEK and to LEARN and to
DO the will of the Lord. This only
happens when the Lord moves upon them to draw them to this, each man in his own
order.
That is the truth of the Lord’s power of
total perfect control. It has been, is, and will be in each life.
So now to gain a further understanding on
the will of the Lord, one must realize that the fruit of the knowledge of good
and evil has fully run its course, the fruit is fully ripe, and it is now
dropping from the branches. This fruit has brought mankind to the time of great
judgment. Enter the next tree in His will, the tree of life. This is the tree that each one in due order
will turn to. This tree is the tree that centers itself in the full discovery
of the will of the Lord, which will made plain to the seeker will manifest as
the life of
Know dear reader of this page that the
fruit of the tree of life in you is there, it is still growing, but it is a
growth that will never end. This is all you will have left for fruit in you
beside the other trees of the garden that we were free to eat, which trees are
all the graces and glories of your person in the Lord. The areas of your soul
which will manifest themselves in a wonderful endless measure filled with the
life of Father in His perfect will. The world right now is coming to a head in
being readied for the judgment of the Lord against the fruit of good and evil.
But the Overcomer, hidden away in their closet of prayer, will emerge with the
fruit of the tree of life fully growing on the branches of life in their souls
and there will be no fruit of good and evil left in them. This will be the most
incredible display shown to creation since the Lord made man in His image. And
this image will restore all other things.
