Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
God Intimately In Control
.. Now we’re beginning to understand the complete and utter sovereignty of Almighty God and how He is completely in control. We note He created the invisible things – thrones, dominions, principalities and powers – all were created. We are even told that our warfare is not carnal but spiritual against wicked powers (Ephesians 6:12) – all of which He made. He is in control.. over the god of this world – the Devil himself! There is nothing the enemy.. can do unless God permits it. God has an overriding plan behind all the enemies schemes..
Everything Preserved For A Purpose
.. The same with governments, the same with man.. dictators, despots – God gives them that authority for a reason and purpose. God will always have the final say because He preserves that which He created.. .. ..
