God's Plans

There is a huge difference between what God would like to do, and what God will be able to do.

Many Christian prophets proclaim what is on God’s heart; what he wants to do. But they miss the contingency that goes with it.

God is only able to do what his people will allow him to do. He cannot do most of what he would like to do, because his people will not change enough to make it possible.

So when a prophet declares what God plans to do, we should not just wait for it to happen, and grumble when it does not. We should ask God how we need to change to allow him to do what he wants to do.
