Where God uses Alterations Satan uses Deviations.
God can make alterations to your life.
Remember our memory verse?
Rom 8:28 And we know all things work together for the good of those who love God, and are the called, according to His purpose.
God wants to begin a work in your life today.
Where your at today.
He’s the God of alternate beginnings:
I don’t know the bible/He’ll teach you.
I haven’t been that good/He’ll cleans you.
Sometimes when God is making Alterations Satan’s making Deviations.
a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,
There will be times in your walk when Satan will try to get you to deviate from your appointed purpose.
