God's sovereignty means NOBODY can twist His arms to change His actions or decisions. He will do as He pleases.
Except that isn't Biblically supported. I'm just saying. If it is true than your Bible is has issues.
Proverbs 16:9
"The mind of man plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps."
As It Is Written! KJV - Romans 11 : 33 “O The Depth of The Riches Both of The Wisdom and Knowledge of GOD! How Unsearchable Are HIS Judgments, and HIS Ways Past Finding Out!”
God's sovereignty:
Imagine a person who has been struggling to find a job for months. They apply for countless positions, go to numerous interviews, but nothing seems to work out. Then, one day, they receive an unexpected job offer that not only aligns with their interests and skills, but also provides them with better compensation and benefits than any of the other positions they applied for.
In this situation, the person may see God's sovereignty at play-a higher power guiding them towards the opportunity that was ultimately best for them, even though they couldn't see it at the time. This example illustrates how God's sovereignty can be seen in the seemingly random events of our lives, showing us that there is a greater plan and purpose beyond our immediate understanding.
I agree, but what if that doesn't happen? Or if a person struggled with blasphemous thoughts for two months when wondering if they are saved, and then two years down the line still wondering what God's purpose was with that?
@@juandrebotes187 The answer is, it starts with the 'fear of the Lord'. The friends of Daniel were to be put in a furnace, they said that if God will not save them, they will still not worship the idol. About the thoughts for two months.. it happens during stage of sanctification, because the transition is still taking effect from darkness to light. Then about the two years wondering.. it has to do again with the fear of the Lord because you must have to it to get wisdom and understanding. When one has the syllabus, and jumps in the water, it becomes part of his intuition, knowing the things that would please the Lord, and acts according to God's purpose (Php 2:13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.)
we wont always know what God accomplished through our suffering, but we do know He is working it all for good. Im sure in heaven, looking back with Jesus by our side it will all make sense@@juandrebotes187
@@richardlaiche8303God is involved with that chance. Because of him you're given that chance. Even though you may not be able piece together completely how it was given to you.
@@juandrebotes187is it blasphemous to wonder if you’re saved?
The ant illustrations is very good as far as it goes. It is hard for us to imagine endearing ourselves to ants like God has made every effort to endear Himself to us. How hard He has worked and how high the price He paid. Praise be to His glorious Name.
@@richardlaiche8303 more so when humanity sinned against God. There was a debt that needed to be paid. Humanity couldn't pay that debt because we lack the righteous equity to make things right on our own. So God sent Jesus to clear that debt so we can be reconciled and good standing with him. Adam & Eve choose to sin. No one forced them.
Whatever happens in our lives, God allows it. Good or bad.
God is in control !
lie ,,Satan the devil controls evil ones, if God is in control .... all perfect, also No free-will
@@duanekapp5525It seems you are thinking of CONTROLLING, Not IN CONTROL. These are two different actions.
Excellent! Best description I’ve ever heard.
Amen!
OUR GOD......ABBA FATHER....OUR KING OF KINGS.......OUR LORD OF LORDS, IS SOVEREIGN AND DOES NOT OWE MAN, HIS "CREATION" ANY EXPLANATION. HE IS A DIVINE, MAJESTIC, FATHER, KING AND CREATOR OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. HE IS THE ANCIENT OF DAYS......THE GREAT I AM.......SELF EXISTING ONE, WHO LOVES HIS CHILDREN DEARLY🥰. WHO WRAPPED HIMSELF IN FLESH AND SACRIFICED THE WORD (JESUS) AND FILLED HIS CHILDREN WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE ARE ALL HIS CREATION, HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT ALL OF HIS CHILDREN AND THEREFORE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND NOR APPRECUATE AND HONOR HIS DIVINE AND HOLY SOVEREIGNTY👑✝️🕊️🙏🏾👑
What God wants, God gets. This is the sovereignty of God defined.
It means our Lord Almighty has Sovereignty. Period.
We always have free will. It can be our own downfall. Free will causes many to be stuck in the wilderness.
If we had free will, there would be no such thing as a priori cause of our thoughts, words, and deeds, that is, being influenced by someone or something outside of ourselves. Only God has free will.

Got Questions Ministries, This made me laugh so hard, thanks for sharing!
Hmm How did this make you laugh? Just curious. Was it the reference to the ant? Please share. Thanks
They coping for Calvin again?
Don't ever try to understand God's sovereignty over man's free will, or else you could go insane.
@@dank2476 There is NO SUCH THING as "free will" in the created order.
Yahweh chooses who will be saved and who goes to hell. Signed ...The Bible.
Your gaaad is so omnipresent that he hasn't said or done anything in the past 2000 years...
Yet He has fulfilled the Scriptural prophecies such as:
● The re-establishment of Israel in one day;
● The regathering of the Jews back to their own land in unbelief;
● Bringing back the Hebrew language;
● Establishment of the IDF;
● Making the waste places of Israel bloom with trees, fruits, and plenty of agriculture;
● Having Russia, Iran and Turkey operating in Syria;
● Keeping a remnant of believing Jews in the world and in Israel.
These 7 Biblical prophecies should suffice to show the utter lack of understanding of those who claim that God has not acted in the last 2000 years.

God knows everything and He is always in CONTROL 🙏🏽
Don't ever try to explain how God's sovereignty interacts with man's freewill or else you could go insane.
Nah, it's not as complex as you're thinking. We have the ability to ascertain and understand certain things in small parts. Just because we cannot understand the full concept doesn't mean we will "go insane" trying to understand a small part of it.
Think of it like this:
Humanity has the will to choose what we want to do, however, at anytime, God can interviene, stop us and force us to do whatever He wants or stop us from doing what we want. There is more detail of course and there is a peculiar paradigm about God directing our free will, but that in a nutshell is how God's sovereignty interacts with man's freewill.
I heard it described as a dance, God is sovereign and in His sovereignty He allows man free will; it’s more art than science, so to speak.
God is in control of everything
He allows free will
God also saids he only hardens already hard hearts. So the person already decided god is just honoring that persons choice.
God said he can only harden already hard hearts? What does that mean? God allowed the person to decided and God honors that persons decision.
😂
Glad to hear Got Questions is no longer Calvinist. 🤔🧐🤐
We know from Scripture that God ordains (or decrees) all things. From the most insignificant happenings, like the whereabouts of a sparrow, or the number of hairs on your scalp (Matthew 10: 29-31 ESV ) to the ruling of empires (Proverbs 21:1 ESV ) and even the outcome of dice (Proverbs 16:33 ESV .)15
Amen.
Amen. Excellent video. The production has improved greatly! Liking the new set. Thank you, Pastor Nelson.
actually holding the ant shows weakness
God is everything
"While I appreciate your sentiment that God is incredibly powerful and present in all aspects of our lives, I believe it's important to recognize that God is not literally "everything." Rather, God is the creator and sustainer of everything. He is the source of all goodness, truth, and beauty in the world. By distinguishing between God and creation, we can better understand and appreciate the unique relationship between the two. Perhaps this is what the video was trying to convey
@@jim7060 The Scriptures refer to God as All in All, which if not everything, is close to it.
@@deanfry879That Scripture speaks of a future time when all things will be subject to God, manifesting His glory without any opposition. Not a present reality.
@@VVarpedVVarriors Future to us. Future to God?
@@deanfry879 Has God destroyed death yet? Do you believe that God has entered our time in history?
