About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"IT IS NOT GOD'S FAULT" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
THE QUESTION WAS ASKED WHY GOD LETS BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR WORLD. WELL IN THE FIRST PLACE, THIS IS A SINFUL WORLD. ADAM TURNED IT OVER TO SATAN AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN 2ND CORINTHIANS 4:4 THAT SATAN IS NOW THE GOD OF THIS WORLD. (In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.) DON'T BLAME GOD FOR THINGS THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE HE GAVE US THE POWER TO TAKE AUTHORITY OVER THE DEVILS AND CAST THEM OUT. (MATTHEW 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.) THE QUESTION SHOULD BE WHY DO "WE" LET BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR WORLD. IF THERE IS ENOUGH POWER IN ONE CHRISTIAN TO HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD AND CAST OUT DEVILS, DON'T YOU THINK WITH THE MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS IN THE WORLD WE COULD STOP THESE BAD THINGS?
I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THE NEW TESTAMENT DEPICTS SATAN BUT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK UP THE VERSES YOURSELVES AS IT WOULD BE MUCH TOO LONG TO LIST THEM ALL HERE. I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY DOING IT. AS I SAID BEFORE, HE IS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD (THE VERSE I QUOTED ABOVE), THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD (JOHN 12:31, 14:30 AND 16:11), THE PRINCE OF THE DEVILS (MATTHEW 12:24), THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR (EPHESIANS 2:2) AND THAT OLD SERPENT, CALLED THE DEVIL (REVELATIONS 12:9).
TO SHOW YOU WHAT HE DOES, HERE ARE SOME OF HIS ACTIVITIES. DECEPTION AND CRAFTINESS (GENESIS 3:1) AND 2ND CORINTHIANS 11:3), DISGUISING HIMSELF AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT (2ND CORINTHIANS 11:14), TEMPTING MANKIND (MATTHEW 4:3 AND 6:13), CONDEMNATION (1ST TIMOTHY 3:6), SNATCHING AWAY GOD'S WORD FROM PEOPLE'S HEARTS (MATTHEW 13:19, MARK 4:15 AND LUKE 8:12) AND BINDS US WITH PHYSICAL INFIRMITIES (LUKE 13:11 AND 16).
NOW FOR OUR JOB, NOT GOD'S. WE NEED TO RESIST THE DEVIL AND SEE HIM FLEE (JAMES 4:7), YIELD NOT OUR MEMBERS AS SERVANTS TO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS (ROMANS 6:13), TAKE AUTHORITY OVER ALL POWER OF THE ENEMY (MATTHEW 10:1 AND LUKE 10:19), CAST OUT DEMONS (MATTHEW 10:8), OVERCOME THE EVIL ONE (1ST JOHN 2:13-14), AND STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL (EPHESIANS 6:11). WITH US DOING THIS, THE GOD OF PEACE SHALL BRUISE SATAN UNDER OUR FEET (ROMANS 16:20).
LET'S US NEVER BLAME GOD FOR THE THINGS WE HAVE CONTROL OVER. HE GAVE US THE FREE WILL TO CHOOSE TO DO THIS OR NOT. IF WE ARE TO BLAME ANYONE, START WITH THE DEVIL AND THEN US. USE YOUR POWER EVERY DAY AND SEE THE WORLD CHANGE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
