God Uses Everything

07/23/2023 15:26

Friend, you may be wondering why God allows evil in this world, and even if God exists.

Many people have an incorrect value of who God is.

For minds that are unbelieving that a Good God could exist, it is very difficult for that mind to open itself to thoughts that are not of their own making. 

This is because they only trust their own "self." All others have hurt them in such a way, that they no longer trust that person. Past hurts have callused the heart and mind. Walls have been put up to protect the heart. 

And when they see the hurt in the world, their small understanding of who God is, cannot fathom why a Good God would allow that.

And many are the people who set out to hurt us each day. This is usually because they too have been hurt. This builds calluses upon calluses until our eyes are shut to Truth and our mind is closed to the Spirit.

We have a long list of persons who have hurt us by the time we enter adulthood; starting with mother and father; and as the years continue, we find most people in the world hurt us in some way. 

We are easily offended.

So the cycle of hurt is humongous and never ending.

We wonder why God doesn't bring it all to an end, and reward us for our wonderful thinking mind. We think we could do things so much better than God, and we think that we have all things figured out so much better than what we perceive in this world. We think we do not even need God in any way; man can do better himself. 

Yet there are so many "why" questions we all ask. 

If there is a God why did He kill or destroy as told in the Old Testament? 

Why doesn't He stop the wars and sufferings?

Why do people get incurable diseases? 

Why doesn't He do things the way I think they should be done? 

Why doesn't God appear to me in person so I can see Him (and then I'll think about agreeing with Him.)

If evil's the problem; why doesn't God just get rid of them completely from all creation?

In other words; "my way is better than what God has done and is doing. Things would be so much better for me if I was in charge! I won't believe; for that makes me vulnerable to the scorn I hear in my mind about God, and because I am scorner of God too."

But the Bible, His Truth told to us in ways that He wants to; shows us that God has an adversary; an enemy who has distorted His Truth for it's (satan) own survivability.

This enemy who uses those God loves; squeezes them in it's vice grips of evil ways and means of living, in the world, attacks them with mind games, waylays them in bondages and addictions, lies to them about God and His Creation, designs wicked paths for them to follow, leads them into temptations, and vile murderous attacks against their fellow man.

Evil is always attacking mankind, at every moment; awake and asleep.

When we know this, we are able to recognise it for the evil force it really is.

"Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations." Ezekiel 36:31 KJV

When we recognise it, and we try to contend with it, we find it is a formidable adversary.

It has clutched us in vice like grips. We cry and moan and fight to get away from the chains of entrapment. It leads us into depressions of all kinds and attacks the body with infirmities never letting up on the pressure.

Sometimes by what we think is our sheer will, we manage to escape from an addiction, from a way of thinking, but it is always very difficult, and we find ourselves very alone in the process.

But in actual fact according to God's Word in His Holy Bible, it is He who helps us even though we fight against Him the whole time.

"But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my Help and my Deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God." Psalms 40:17 KJV

Our spirit has connected with Him in the deep pit of our hell. In our anguish we have allowed a crack to form; and the Light and Power of Himself is always there around us in our world; so a lightning flash of Holy Light, Power, Knowledge and Love shoots through our soul to give us Hope.

Many there are who will not acknowledge Him; and they give all their accolades to themselves not realising The Truth.

It is when we look back on our lives, that we recognise His handiwork.

And it is never too late to thank Him.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20 KJV

But, how much better would things have been if we had recognised our need for His help, earlier.

He would make a Way that was according to His Will and Law which is for our Good. 

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:6 KJV

The way we make is always going to be not for our ultimate Good. Evil talons will still be clutching at our flesh and mind.

The only Good Way is with Him for He knows all things about us even what we think is hidden from Him. He knows the right place to start to get us onto the Righteous Path with Him.

He sees which demons we have allowed into our soul to take up residence to drive the body mind and soul.

He knows which to remove first, so we don't die before He has a chance to spiritually save our soul; for that is what He wants, by our own willingness to be saved by Him.

First we are at odds with that concept of being saved.

We just don't believe we need saving. We don't understand what evil has done to us; many of us suffer from childhood.

But God The Father says that through the Attoning Blood of His Son, we may enter His Presence and be saved from the clutches of Satan.

All we have to do is be repentant of heart; that we have ignored Him, and recognise what it cost The Father to give His Son for us; for His Son to pay for our sins. 

We are the creation of His Son, and Jesus wants to keep us for Himself. Our soul ultimately belongs to Him, and it is Jesus who will decide the condition of that soul, and where it will go; return to Him or depart from Him.

He was willing to pay with flesh like our own, with punishments like our own on this earth for our souls to be made clean; spiritually washed in The Holy Blood, for us to have Eternal Life with Jesus as companions and heirs; like sons of God.

Satan hates this FACT.

He will never be in Heaven as a free spirit. He is held captive right now to God. God knows everything he does and where he is at all times.

Satan is a doomed being. In God's Time, Satan will receive his just due. It is going to happen.

Many are the souls of men who will follow him.

But, friend, let it not be you.

All it requires is belief in the God who loves you and died for you to have Eternal Life, not eternal death.

We should strive to have a big understanding of who God is.

In all our troubles, He is there waiting by His Spirit to help us to know Him for this is the first step.

To know God. Who He is. His Character. What His capabilities are. 

Acknowledgement of God and The Son. It is by His Spirit that the acknowledgement is accomplished.

Ask for The Holy Spirit's help. He will not refuse an enquiring mind.

Thank You, Holy Spirit!
