Isaiah 55:11, So My Word that comes from my mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper what I send it to do.
Most of us have been taught that God is in charge, and controls everything. Most of us would not dispute that. There are times however, that really put that fact to the test.
When we look around us, and see what is happening all over the world, we cannot avoid a reaction of some kind. But the question is, what kind of reaction, through eyes of Faith, or eyes that are worldly?
In spite of what many people think, almighty God allows every single thing that happens. Big, small, and in between. All of what happens to you, and everybody else in the world, is all a part of God's plan. He had it all figured out before anything was even created.
1 John 5: 4, Because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world; our faith.
God knew what each person would do, and when he would do it. So why doesn't he just stop it all right now, and take the good people (Believers) to Heaven, and send the bad people (unbelievers) to the other place?
In order to answer that question we must look at sin. When Jesus died on the cross, His blood washed away all of our sins, past, present, future. We are told to confess our sins. If Jesus' blood washed away all of our sins , why should we confess them? The answer is simple. God wants us to own up to the sins, so we can learn from them.
We also learned the difference between confession, and true repentance. Confession is asking for forgiveness, while repentance involves a change of some sort in our lifestyle. in order to minimize sin occurrences in the future.
2 Peter 2:4, For if God didn't spare the angels who sinned but cast them into hell.
Revelation 21:8, But the cowards, faithless, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars - their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur which is the second death.
God is giving everyone a chance to repent ,but His patience will not last forever. Everyone who goes to hell will know that they deserve to go there because of how they lived.
As you can see, a just God must allow man to make his own decision. That is why He gave us free will. God does not send anyone to hell. It is the choice of the unrepentant.
A final thought. If we judge, or complain about what is happening in the world because of leaders, or anything else, we are telling God that He is wrong and we know better. That's deadly my friends. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve Only You.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
