1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
Chaos is the result of sin in our world
Sin does not thwart God, therefore chaos does not thwart God.
All of the reality of life is that we are either moving towards God or away from God.
As chaos unfolds because others are moving away from God, the Spirit is drawing others to God through the chaos
Testimonies coming from Afghanistan
Testimonies coming out of Latvia and Ukraine
Do not loose heart or faith in God. His kingdom influence and reign is not determined by war and peace like man’s influence. He is still God in the chaos…
“Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way...”
2) GOD IS STILL GOD OVER HIS KINGDOM

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
“River whose streams...” - contrast between raging sea of vs. 2-3 to plentiful river that facilitates life.
“City of God” is God’s presence…His Kingdom
“Shall not be moved”
“The nations rage, the kingdoms totter” God speaks and the earth melts.
He can cease the affairs of men with a word if He so chooses, much like He spoke and everything came into being.
He is the “Lord of Hosts” and the “God of Jacob”
Uncountable armies of Heaven…God of Grace

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
“Behold the works of the LORD...”
He brings desolation to the earth (thwarting the affairs of men)
Makes wars cease
There will be the war to end all wars…it will be short and decisive with no casualties to the Lord’s Kingdom and complete destruction of those who oppose Him.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
We should not be anxious or fearful...
When our thoughts and anxieties are swelling and our imaginations are running wild…shhhhhhhhh.
The Lord of Hosts is with us...
The God of Jacob is our fortress...
Though man may destroy the body…it cannot kill the Kingdom.

WHEN YOU SEE THE EVENTS OF THE WORLD UNFOLDING…DO NOT FEAR. GOD IS UNSTOPPABLE!
When we begin to live and make decisions recognizing that God is still God in the chaos…He is still God over His Kingdom… He is still God over His creation…we will live and communicate a hope to those around us that is beyond this world…a hope for all eternity.
What’s stopping you from following without hesitation our Unstoppable God?
