I am extremely purplexed at the thoughts some people have about God. They blame GOD for problems in this world. But yet, I will hear them talk about LOVE of God, and that we need to LOVE others, LOVE our Spouse, LOVE our neighbors, Be Kind to those who do evil to you, turn the other cheek, GOD is LOVE. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and if anyone of us does not show LOVE towards the other, we will get an ear full of how we need to LOVE on that other person. (1 Corinthians 8:3 But the man who LOVES God is known by God.) (1 John 4:16 And so we KNOW and RELY on the LOVE God has for us. GOD IS LOVE. Whoever lives in LOVE Lives in God, and God in him.) I totally get the LOVE part. My questioning comes in "How they then view God?"
NOW here comes the ironic part, those same people who talk so much about LOVE also blame GOD for death, sickness, disease, and problems that the world faces. All in the name of GOD, yeah, He must be teaching you something through all that. Do you not know that God loves the whole YOU, not just your Spirit! Did Jesus come to heal only the Spirit or the whole body? GOD does NOT bring these problems into our lives, we face them because of the fall in the garden of Eden. Man brought it on! Man has been blaming GOD ever since then. Adam said "It was that women YOU gave me Lord." (Gen 3:12) You just don't stop and KNOW the Heart of God. Jesus said "IF YOU THEN, THOUGH YOU ARE EVIL, KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM!" That means GOD LOVES us MORE then we love each other, MORE then we LOVE our children, MORE then we LOVE our spouse. Yet if I were to purposefully make my kids sick by rubbing poison ivy on them, I'd be put in jail, and thrown out of the church, but yet it is OK to think that OUR Father who LOVES US would do something like that to us. You hypocrites to think it's OK for GOD to do that but not a person. GOD IS PERFECT LOVE! Yet in that same breath you say we are to be like GOD. Talk about some twisted thinking. I'm not sure you actually KNOW who GOD is, KNOW your daddy, KNOW your identity, KNOW your DNA.
I know some of you are thinking "God's ways are not our ways" "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom", No one knows the mind of God.... That's not actually correct! That verse is talking about unbelievers. God has made Himself known to us believers, and His will through His son. True there are depths of Himself that are not revealed to us, but that is nothing to do with His Love for us. He wants to make Himself completely known to us. We see that as a reflection in the life of Jesus.
We live in a world that is full of crap, sin, sickness, disease, death, hate, Jesus PAID the price for us, NOT ONLY THAT, but He gave US His Authority over these issues. We've just been brought up in a lie that we don't have any Power or Authority. Doggump, It is IN YOU! Wake Up Christians! It's NOT a Happily after death. It's victory in the NOW. Sometimes things happen to us because it's nature, sometimes it is sin, sometimes it is satan, BUT for you to blame GOD??? OK, you may say it is a Trial, but GOD doesn't go against what Jesus did. (Healing) Jesus said "a kingdom divided against itself would fall." You see because Jesus Healed people, and to bring physical harm to others would go against what Jesus did. God would NOT do that. OK, you may be thinking about Job right now, YOU seriously need to read the scriptures more! God did NOT do that to Job, rather satan got permission from God to do that to him (because Job was righteous) All that crap that happend to Job, was from satan. You might be thinking well then what's stopping God from doing that again allowing satan to do that? Jesus! It would be a total front against why Jesus died for us. You will only believe when you read read read the scriptures! Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
How can I KNOW that it is God's WILL for us to be healed? Jesus was the walking will of GOD. Jesus said "I can do nothing unless I see the Father do it first." Further more, if Jesus Healed ALL (several verses say that) We also KNOW that "Jesus Christ is the SAME Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow." Jesus also commanded us, to "Go out into all the nations, Preaching the Word, Raising the dead, Healing the sick." He left US with that Authority.
"A house divided against its self will fall." Did Jesus Heal or bring sickness? Jesus was the walking Will of God! So we can see that it is God's Will to Heal you. God will not give you sickness, because it goes against what Jesus did. (Healed people)
I've heard some say "God allowed it" ??? If I jump off a building, God is not going to stop gravity! It's a law that others rely on. Oh, but that is my desision, what about something really out of my control. What about if someone broke into your house and killed everyone, did God allow that? You all would rather have a pitty party, rather then FIGHT! The enemy has stolen your heart, your faith, in the name of God, and you just allow it. I see no fight, I see surrender. Are you that desperate to blame God, more then you are to fight with Him? It's easier to surrender and blame God for your short comings, then it is to actually shave your head, get on the floor in the ashes, and seek His presence.
Perhaps you do not KNOW the difference between God and satan? GOD is LOVE. GOD is good! satan bad! Got it. Let me introduce to you the difference. 1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in LOVE; but perfect LOVE casts out fear, because fear involves TORMENT. But he who fears has not been made perfect in LOVE." Could I then say if someone is sick, they are tormented? Well then that same GOD whom you say brought this sickness on them can not bring torment, because GOD is LOVE! Just a thought!
I remember being a little child and saying, "My daddy can beat up your daddy!" Yet as grownups we do Not think like that anymore, we submit to satan in sickness, disease, death, and the crap that crosses our path daily because we think it is GOD. Yeah, IF I thought it was GOD, I would give up too because I would NOT be able to fight against Him. BUT I DO KNOW Him and Because I do, I Understand my fathers Will AND that I am His child and heir to His thrown. I also recognize He has given me Authority over such circumstances BECAUSE of what Jesus did!
We truly need to understand WHO our Father is, Our identity in Him, His deep deep Love for us, as this becomes Our foundation to which we stand strong. Not guessing what is the Will of God, but KNOWING my Fathers desires for us. How then can you stand if you are unsure? You can't. But as it is, KNOWING His Love for us is shown through His son Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:6-16 (Wisdom From the Spirit)
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7. No, we speak of God's SECRET WISDOM, a wisdom that HAS been hidden and that God DSTINED FOR OUR GLORY before time began.

1 Corinthians 2:16
"For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 2:14
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
----
Matthew 12:25-26
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand

Matthew 22:36-40
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37. Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38. This is the first and greatest commandment. 39. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Romans 13:9-10
The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are SUMMED UP in this one rule: "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 10. LOVE DOES NO HARM TO ITS NEIGHBOR. Therefore LOVE is the fulfillment of the law.
----
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in LOVE; but perfect LOVE casts out fear, BECAUSE FEAR INVOLVES TORMENT. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome ALL the Power of the Enemy; nothing will harm you.
----
Matthew 7:7-12
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10. Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11. IF YOU THEN, THOUGH YOU ARE EVIL, KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM! 12. So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
