Be Cool, God Is in the Plan

Subtitle: “Walking in Humility, Choosing Obedience, and Activating God’s Promises”

Opening Prayer

Father, as I come before You, I give You all glory and honor. I exalt and magnify Your name. I ask for the forgiveness of my sins as I stand before Your people. Use my mouth for Your glory. Let every word be used to build up and edify Your people. I declare this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Choosing Humility: The Doorway to God’s Healing and Power

Father, as I come before You, I give You the glory and the honor. I exalt You, Father, and I magnify Your name. I ask forgiveness of sin as I stand before Your people. Use my mouth for Your glory. Let every word be used to build up and edify Your people. I declare it in Jesus’ name, amen.

When we talk about staying cool in the midst of chaos, it is essential to remember one thing: God is already in the plan. In this continuation of the series, we focus on one of the greatest spiritual principles we often avoid—humility.

The Power of Humility

God has already extended to us a divine invitation—a powerful covenant found in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV):

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

This passage is a roadmap to restoration. But the journey begins with a step that many resist—humbling ourselves.

Some people view humility as weakness. For them, it’s a “bad word,” something to avoid. They refuse to bow, to surrender, or to admit that they need help. But the Word of God is clear—every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). Whether you do it now or later, it will happen. So why not do it willingly and reap the blessings that come with it?

The Benefits of Submission

When we choose humility, we access the benefits of God’s covenant. Humility opens the door to healing, forgiveness, and divine attention. God does not force us to humble ourselves—it is a choice. You have the freedom to choose life or death, obedience or rebellion, blessing or curse.

This free will is not a loophole; it’s God’s divine order. He will never override your will—even if that decision leads to destruction. That’s why some people sadly choose the path to hell. It’s not because God desires it (2 Peter 3:9), but because He has given us the ability to choose.

God cannot contradict His own Word. If He intervened in a way that violated your free will, He would break His covenant. That is something He will never do. He is faithful and just—even when we are not.

The Role of the Believer

So what can He do? He can send you.

He sends His people into the world—to intercede, to teach, to love, to proclaim His truth. Our obedience becomes the catalyst for someone else’s salvation. As we humble ourselves, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways, God moves—not just in our lives, but in our communities, our families, and our nations.

Conclusion

When you choose humility and obedience, you align yourself with God’s plan, positioning yourself for healing, forgiveness, and divine favor.
