A few days ago, a mass text was sent out with this scripture on it: And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28)(KJV, NKJV). Many later translations leave out the word THE, which is a key word to understanding what the scripture means.
The text blessed me so because the verse was worded properly, and I texted back and told the person how the scripture was worded properly ad explained what it meant to use the word THE which means specific (God’s special people). When I read the text that had been sent the next day, the previous one was deleted. This was obvious that what was said by me the previous day was not received, In other words, the person or persons were not open to the truth.
My teacher would always encourage me to write and correct erroneous doctrine so people would know the truth. In fact, he told me that God had given me creative and innovative writing abilities which was included in my assignment. I may not be an eloquent speaker, but I write boldly and confidently as evangelist and prophetess. Notice that I never use names to expose the errors, but I will turn the erroneous scriptures and turn them into truth to the best of my ability.
It is dangerous to take away or add anything to the Word of God, and to take the word THE out of Romans 8:28 leads to error and confusion. Explanation of the scripture: All things cannot work together for the good of everybody, even though everyone is called, everyone is not THE called.
The called are those who are born again, and all things, not some things work for our good because we belong to the Lord.
STOP! After seeing that the text was deleted, I felt sad for the people who didn’t receive it, but it did not take away my joy. While in the shower, the Holy Spirit reminded me what had been taught and then He added something amazing! He said “Pharaoh the king of Egypt served God’s purpose but he went to hell, so how could all things work for the good of an unsaved person? It was the same with Judas Iscariot why betrayed Jesus- It would have been good for that man if he had not been born (Matthew 26:24b).
For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth (Romans 9:17). AI- Pharaoh was viewed as a divine ruler, believed to be a god on earth. But God let Pharaoh know that He was the Sovereign Almighty and All Powerful God. The same stands today, no matter who rules on earth God is the Most Powerful One!
Example of how all things work together for the good of them who love the Lord and are THE called…..All the evil things that happened to Joseph was for God’s purpose to be served (Genesis, chapters 37-50). God eventually raised him up to be second in command in Egypt. Joseph never retaliated regardless of how bad he was treated. But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. He blessed his family and told his brothers what the meant for evil (Genesis 50:20).
Saints, Some of you like me may have gone through trials, and all evil was spoken against you. It hurts; Joseph had to hurt too but God gave him the grace to overcome every evil was that said or plotted against him.
I pray that leaders and all other Christians will seek out the Word of God for themselves and rightly divide the Word of truth instead of wrongly dividing it (2 Timothy 2:15). To those who are not open to the truth, I feel sorry for you and my love remains the same. Yet I must be obedient to God my Father.
