Joel 2:27
King James Version
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel,
and that I am the Lord your God, and none else:
and my people shall never be ashamed.
How do you know it's GOD at work?
What are His ways?
What are His means?
What is proof of His power?
What proof does the Bible present?
You only need to hear GOD say this all the time, which SPIRIT pointed out to me, in just one chapter, for starters:
Ezekiel 6:1-7
King James Version
6 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man,
set thy face toward the mountains of Israel,
and prophesy against them,
3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel,
hear the word of the Lord God;
Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains,
and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys;
Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you,
and I will destroy your high places.
4 And your altars shall be desolate,
and your images shall be broken:
and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel
before their idols;
and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste,
and the high places shall be desolate;
that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate,
and your idols may be broken and cease,
and your images may be cut down,
and your works may be abolished.
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you,
and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 6:8-10
King James Version
8 Yet will I leave a remnant,
that ye may have some
that shall escape the sword among the nations,
when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
9 And they that escape of you
shall remember me among the nations
whither they shall be carried captives,
because I am broken with their whorish heart,
which hath departed from me,
and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols:
and they shall lothe themselves for the evils
which they have committed in all their abominations.
10 And they shall know that I am the Lord,
and that I have not said in vain
that I would do this evil unto them.
Ezekiel 6:11-13
King James Version
11 Thus saith the Lord God;
Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say,
Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel!
for they shall fall by the sword,
by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence;
and he that is near shall fall by the sword;
and he that remaineth and is besieged
shall die by the famine:
thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
13 Then shall ye know that I am the Lord,
when their slain men shall be among their idols
round about their altars,
upon every high hill,
in all the tops of the mountains,
and under every green tree,
and under every thick oak,
the place where they did offer sweet savour
to all their idols.
Ezekiel 6:14
King James Version
14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them,
and make the land desolate,
yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath,
in all their habitations:
and they shall know that I am the Lord.
More on such GOD's statements here.
And if you're wondering how Israel's enemies will fare, especially those in Gaza, these verses speak clearly:
Ezekiel 25:15-17
King James Version
15 Thus saith the Lord God;
Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge,
and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart,
to destroy it for the old hatred;
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God;
Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines,
and I will cut off the Cherethims,
and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them
with furious rebukes;
and they shall know that I am the Lord,
when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
Such is GOD's truth, power, and reality.
That we may acknowledge His LORDSHIP.
But the world is stingy.
It doesn't want to acknowledge that.
But you know what?
Once GOD makes you born again, you don't even question GOD's authority.
It becomes an integral part of you.
I simply accepted His TOTAL POWER over all our lives the day He made me born again in 2019.
Sure, the nuns in Catholic schools taught me of GOD's POWER.
But it was only when GOD Himself made me born again 74 months ago did I actually KNOW for sure.
Only because His HOLY SPIRIT made it known to me.
He began teaching me, through Scripture.
And through JESUS' words.
I was right all along.
In knowing there was an ABSOLUTE POWER somewhere.
It had become the "search" of my life.
Thus, all the books bought, borrowed, and browsed over.
And finally given away.
Only because SPIRIT finally led me to the Bible.
Knowing I had exhausted all "research".
But GOD also waits for us to do something.
After turning away from all my sins, GOD finally took mercy upon me, and ended all that search.
Now, I have come to know GOD's TRUTH.
And always, through JESUS, SPIRIT, and Scripture.
All for GOD's GLORY.
