(This is a response to Job’s afflictions by his friend Bildad,
when Job’s three friends came with sincerity and tender sympathy to comfort Job,
and yet proved miserable comforters!)
Does God Mess Up?
Bildad from Shuhah was next to speak:
“How can you keep on talking like this? You’re talking nonsense, and noisy nonsense at that. Does God mess up? Does God Almighty ever get things backward? It’s plain that your children sinned against Him— otherwise, why would God have punished them? Here’s what you must do—and don’t put it off any longer: Get down on your knees before God Almighty. If you’re as innocent and upright as you say, it’s not too late—He’ll come running; He’ll set everything right again, reestablish your fortunes. Even though you’re not much right now, you’ll end up better than ever.”
Lately, she’s been thinking what her daddy said, How when you’re winning, you got more friends, But are they your friends, if you fall, they’re gone? Something about those kind of people seems wrong.
Who’s gonna be there when the phone call knocks her down? All of the steeples, but she can’t hear a bell sound, Jumps on a bus to head downtown, And picks up the paper that’s been blowing around, it says,
“When your heart breaks, He’ll hurt for you! Dreams are out of reach, He’ll pull you through! When you lose hope, all you gotta do is, Get on your knees again!
Not long now and you’re gonna see, No mountain’s too high for you, or for me, Or fall too far, if you can believe, And get on your knees, on your knees again!”
She folds up the paper and puts it in her bag, Knows she really needs a Savior like that! Walking past her church just up the street, Says, “Maybe it’s time to get on my knees!”
‘Cause He was there when no one was around, All of the people, but no one made a sound, Thinks of her brother, who’s been feeling down, Pulls out the paper and reads it aloud,
You’ve given everything you’ve got, Still it’s hard to believe, Love comes from the inside out, If you wanna be free!
Ya gotta give your love and never stop! When you think about giving up, Get on your knees!
When you’ve given everything you’ve got Ya gotta give your love and never stop!!
Ephesians 6:18
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions
with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind,
be alert
and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders.”
Deuteronomy 33:27
“The Eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the Everlasting Arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,
saying, ‘Destroy them!’”
Hallelujah and Amen!!
Psalm 139:5-6
“You hem me in behind and before,
and You lay Your Hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.”
To the one who’s dreams are falling all apart And all you’re left with is a tired and broken heart I can tell by your eyes you think your on your own But you’re not all alone!
Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet? With a love so strong He’ll never let you go Oh, you’re not alone!
You will be safe in His arms! You will be safe in His arms! ‘Cause the Hands that hold the world are holding your heart This is the promise He made He will be with You always! When everything is falling apart You will be safe in His arms!
Did you know that the Voice that brings the dead to life Is the very same Voice that calls you to rise? So hear Him now He’s calling you home You will never be alone!
These are the Hands that built the mountains The Hands that calm the seas These are the Arms that hold the Heavens They are holding you and me!
These are Hands that healed the leper Pulled the lame up to their feet These are the Arms that were nailed to a cross To break our chains and set us free!

“Chosen”
At The Ramp
“The RAMP is a unique youth and conference center located in the heart of Hamilton, Alabama. It is the home of Chosen, a group of thirty young people who travel with Karen Wheaton and minister in drama and dance, and also home to hundreds of other young people who are being dramatically changed by the power of God.
At least six annual youth conferences (Summer Ramp I & II, Winter Ramp I & II, Spring Breakthrough and Fall Ramp) are greatly anticipated regular events that overflow with more than 1,200 young people. No matter what the occasion, the altars are consistently filled with young people turning their backs on sin, mediocrity, drug addiction, alcoholism, abuse, etc., and surrendering their lives to the Lord.
The RAMP offers today’s generation an alternative to the streets and abuses of the world. Everyone is welcome to come and experience the passion, the fire, and the result of their praise ushering in His awesome presence!”
“The Ramp is a ministry of awakening based out of Hamilton, Alabama, where hundreds gather each month from across the nation and world to pursue the real Jesus. We’re loud. We’re aggressive. We hope to jolt the complacent out of stupor and into the reality of God. Our mission is to awaken a generation out of spiritual death and religious complacency, calling them to their individual purpose and corporate responsibility as an offensive army imposing the kingdom of God. Although youth and young adults primarily attend, the Ramp is not just a youth thing; it’s a hunger thing. It’s an awakening thing – it’s for all those in need of an awakening whose desire is to then turn and awaken others.”
“Karen Wheaton is a seasoned Christian minister whose music and preaching has provoked listeners to pursue God in passionate worship for many years.
In 1998 the emphasis of her ministry took a surprising turn as God called her to move back to her hometown of Hamilton, Alabama and to begin working with the youth of the community.
Today, she continues to travel and minister, but her efforts are primarily focused at the Ramp where thousands gather every year to be transformed by the presence of God and equipped to win their cities. Karen has given her life for the vision and mission of awakening. Part of this includes raising up spiritual sons and daughters, weekly teaching students at Ramp School of Ministry and continually developing young men and into the mature believers God has called them to be.”
“‘Chosen’ is a group of young ministers who have set themselves to awaken a generation. They are the Ramp’s ministry team. They work under and alongside Karen Wheaton as spiritual sons and daughters, serving the heart and assignment of awakening. Whether through expressing in dance and drama, preaching and teaching, ministering, or worshiping, they call their generation to radical lifestyles of holiness and consecration. Each of them have a personal story of deliverance from bondage such as suicide, cutting, drugs, pornography, and complacent Christianity. They are now rescued ones seeking to rescue others.”
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
not by works,
so that no one can boast.”
You’re standing with your list of regrets that you can’t get past yourself You wish so bad that you could make the mark But your dreams are stuck on a shelf And all you wanna do is turn back time And redeem the days you lost But shame keeps calling out your name The chains refuse to fall
But it’s not over, it’s not over This is the moment grace walks in With arms wide open, arms wide open To tell you this is not the end When doubt is strong and your will is weak to even believe again That’s when grace, that’s when grace walks in
You once believed that you could change the world With a fire deep in your soul Your faith was strong and the call was clear You were sure you could make a new road Like so many the flame grew dark And your confidence hit the wall There always seems to be a lot of big questions But the answers seem so small
Just in the nick of time Right there to save our lives Grace is greater Grace is greater
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
“Three times I (Paul)
pleaded with the Lord
to take it (the thorn in my flesh) away from me.
But He said to me,
‘My grace is sufficient for you,
for My power is made perfect in weakness.’
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses,
so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
Hebrews 4:16
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
2 Peter 1:2
“Grace and peace be yours in abundance
through the knowledge of God
and of Jesus our Lord.”
John 1:16
“From the fullness of His grace
we have all received one blessing after another.”
Romans 3:23-24
“…for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
and all are justified freely
by His grace
through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.”
2 Corinthians 8:9
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though He was rich,
yet for your sake He became poor,
so that you through His poverty might become rich.”
