Brother,
Lets us say that God does not across the board force people to live for him
, but he does change their minds for them, Occasionally. : )
Proof?
When Moses was to go before Moses, God told Moses **ahead** of time that
when Moses went *Not* to be dismayed , that He (GOD ) was going to *harden*
Pharo's heart. ................................and he did , several times.
God does and can change peoples "mind set."
That is why we have success in praying for God to *save* someone.
Ever hear of people who were dead set against church, God , speaking in
tongues?
And then later on , because of people praying for them, God worked on their
heart and mind and they repented ?
God can take a stony heart and give you a heart of flesh, thats soft toward
the things of God.
I have actually prayed , when going for a job interview, That God would
cause me to find favor in the eyes of the ones who had the authority to do
the hiring!
I was not qualified as for as having the proper professional license , and
I was not tested....But I got the job! (To God Be The Glory)
Doubtfull? This was a job at a industrial chemical plant that was under
construction, where I was hired to be the Q/A QC inspector for electrical
and instrumentation construction.
It paid 13.25 an hour! (A Blessing fo the single mom I was then)
(yes , I did have experience working as a industrial electrician and had
training) BUT..
They did *NOT* test me , they did not ask me IF I had a license, and they
did not know me prior to the interview.
And what about Saul of Tarsus? The murderer and persecutor of christians?
I think being physically blinded and struck down, hearing a audible voice
is a * Very "strong" suggestion if not a *command to live for God and Do
his will?
Has anybody read anywhere where God asked Paul *IF he wanted to be a
minister?
IF* he wanted to go to a house and wait for Anninias?
"I *DONT* *THINK* SO......"
I believe that it reads that he ***TOLD*** him
We always teach that God never does this and never does that, but
sometimes, He just does what he feels like doing.
After all He Is God!
There is just one thing that I know of that the bible say's God cannot do.
He cannot Lie.
If there are others, jog my memory..; )
But God can , will, and has Hardened and softened peoples Hearts.
