“Start from the end”
Pastor Andrey Shapovalov
I once asked God a question: what do you want me to do, the answer was not difficult, I must completely trust the master and the process.
Understand, dear family, that we are all in the process of creation, but many of us do not trust the Master and the Designer. Of course, we have every right to build ourselves, and our own lives, but isn’t it better to completely trust the Creator, Who knows who you are?
This is real faith, just as Abraham believed God and took a step into the unknown, completely trusting the Creator.
Did you know that God does not consult your past to decide your future?
This is a unique key, because we as humans have to look into someone's past to understand who the person is and whether we can trust that person.
But when it comes to God our Creator and Designer, He always works from the completion of your life
For Him, your history is just stages of preparation for your great future.
That is, our master begins work precisely when it is completed outside of time, then he takes a blank sheet, which in time and begins to work, creating you, from strength to strength and from glory to glory.
Understand that our name is given to us from the completion of our life, which is why most do not understand how God can call me strong or strong, but I am weak, with mistakes and problems.
The fact is that people give us our names by what they see, but God gives us the name of who He created us to be.
The story of Gideon, when God came to him, he told him the following phrase: “hello, strong man,” this was a picture of where God was leading Gideon, and Gideon was only required to completely obey God.
Like Joseph, his entire past is the stages of movement towards his position and the image that Heavenly Father has prepared for him.
That is, God does not lead you from beginning to end, as man sees it, because God does not need information, God leads you from the knowledge of who you have already been created to be, through your complete obedience to Him, into the complete picture of who you already are you appear in Him.
(Jeremiah 1:5) Before I formed you in the womb, I already knew you, before you came out of the womb, I chose you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
Be with Him and in Him and just surrender to the process, because only God knows your true image.
That is why for us the opinion of God should be more important than the opinion of man, because man does not know either us or our future, and all of man’s opinion is based on our history and our past.
For people, our past is our mistakes, falls, problems, etc. But for God these are the puzzles of our picture, all the mistakes are just necessary lessons for a full picture.
Understand that the Holy Spirit leads us already from the knowledge of who we are in God.
Just imagine, someone knows exactly who you are! This is your Designer.
Understand that everything Saul went through was necessary to complete the picture of the Apostle Paul.
Every day, by surrendering to the process and trusting my life to my God, I am moving closer to the perfect picture of who God created me to be and who He already sees me to be.
After God showed me who He saw me as, I completely surrendered to His process, knowing that the one who started would always bring his work to full completion.
May our Heavenly Father Bless you!
