ONCE UPON A TIME

Once upon a time as the sons of God surrounded God's throne, satan also came along.

God noticed him and asked where he came from. He answered from a journey around the world.

"Have you noticed a certain child of mine that really loves me and wants to preach?" God intently looked at satan.

"Yep I did, but her dreams will never come true. She's too insignificant doesn't have the right means or connections etc etc.”

“So God, don't get your hopes up.”

“You can leave the crown you ordered for her in the drawer." Satan giggled as his squeaky voice squeaked through the throne room of God.

"Wanna bet." God smiled as He took the crown out of the drawer and started to polish it tenderly.

Satan left in a hurry for he knew he always lost his bets with God. "Yes I still remember Job and how I lost my bet there." Gnashing his teeth, he felt his anger arise. "I'll show God this time, He won't win"

So he went down to earth again as he watched the certain child of God sing so sweetly and pray and write sermons.

He summoned some demons out of hell and laid down his plan on the table. They had a party as they twisted their pointy toes.

Happily they strolled along to slander her name everywhere because of her weaknesses. Then they intercepted her phone calls and internet traffic, filmed her secretly while showering and let her be mocked.

Then he twisted the minds of those who could help her so they joined the evil side.

"Yes" the devil exclaimed in uncontainable evil joy. "Now I did it, Whoaaaaa!!!”
“ I am invincible, God can pack up His dreams and cry."

All the while God had watched satan and his demons go to and fro doing their junk and laughed uncontrollably with a Holy Spirit joy.

"Yes devil do your best, for you are making My dream come true."

Then God looked with tenderness as His certain child who although shaken by what was happening, started to write and preach to an audience she would have never reached on her own.

But the devil himself took her messages through the great open door God had opened for her and delivered it personally to those God wanted to reach.

At first the certain child did not understand what was happening, until God opened her understanding to see that He sometimes works in unconventional ways as time and circumstances require it.

He did so with Daniel, Shadrach and Abednego, with Joseph, and many others. At first they might have been puzzled by satan's evil, but later they understood that all evil is turned around just to accomplish the dreams and wishes of God.

God placed his servants in places where they could reach people who knew or did not know Him, people who could then also save others from a life of ignorance concerning their Creator who loves them.

What God opens no one can shut until He allows it.

When God calls you to serve Him you better buckle up, for it will be the ride of your life through iron walls and closed doors as He breaks every barrier just to get His Word through you to those He wants you to reach.

A look into the future

As God holds satan by his tail before he throws him in hell, he shows him the certain child who all happily sits on a throne beside the throne of God with a sparkling crown on her head.

"Well devil, did I win or what!”  “Thanks for making My dream come true."

Then it's off to hell for satan and heaven has an eternal party as evil is no more.

And they lived happily ever after!

(Of course this story is not in the bible as we know it, how could it be, it’s just happening)
