Testing Ground

Friend, we wonder why God allows "this" and "that" in our world. Anything we do not agree with, we blame God for that existing.

We think that our world should be the way, we envisage a Good God would create. We'd do things this way, and give to this one (like ourself,) we'd hang that one, we'd raise up that one, we'd get rid of evil, etc.

We believe we are very valuable to God; we take sinful chances taunting Him all the time.

We think that we are above all other creation; our needs are more valuable than others.

We think that we came before all other things created.

We don't want to have any laws that restrict us from being evil.

We want free will.

We want to deny others things, we can't get. No one should have more than "me!"

We don't want to work for anything. Menial work especially is for "others."

We want to be famous, rich, adored, talented and gifted in many things.

We want the best of everything but it doesn't matter if others aren't included.

We want others to get educated to become doctors, surgeons and medically trained so they can minister to us, yet we don't want them to be monetarily rewarded for their sacrificial learning years.

We want their profits for ourselves! Their family and needs do not matter to us!

We're very evil in thinking these types of thoughts. Yet even evil rewards itself!

We want, we want, we want! 

It's a never ending and continually renewing angst that befalls many of us.

But friend, we'd all be robots if God acted the way we wanted; we'd accuse Him of not giving us free will!

Many aren't aware, because they do not study The Word of God, which daily opens new door of understanding as we grow and trust Him, to reveal Truth; that mankind was the last of created things to be introduced onto the earth.

Many think we came first and have a bigger say in things like an heir or firstborn does in our earthly life.

But when we read The Bible, we find the earth was created before mankind was. God placed Adam in a flourishing Garden which He called Eden.

That's not all that we should be concerned about!

God is a Purposeful God. Nothing is created without a Purpose for Himself. (He owns all things!)

We, through our disobedience to Him (lack of an honouring Holy Love for Him,) have turned away and fallen into evil ways that are connected to the evil realm, which Satan created through his disobedience. (Same reason as man - lack of honouring Holy Love for God.)

Satan was thrown out (exiled) to the air over the earth, and he quickly began trying to create his own power base on earth, using the angels which were also thrown out when he was.

When Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the Forbidden Tree in the middle of The Garden, they too could not be in that Holy Place. They became nomadic, hunter gatherers. They populated and their famliy grew. The children heard the parents stories about God, and what they had done to deserve the pain and suffering they endured.

Some family lines of descendants of the first couple, were more honouring and worshipful of God. They prospered more than the others whose every way must have been sparse, because without God we can do nothing of ourselves that is everlastingly good.

Walking or living out from under the "umbrella" of God's Protection and Love, Mercy and Grace is not recommended!

Abraham was seen of God as Righteous because he believed in God. Because of his faith that God was the Creator, God was the Provider, God was the Healer, Abraham was a good man who conducted himself and his great many servants and employees with Godly righteous dealings of those days, and so he prospered and his blood line grew greatly.

And so today we have the Jewish nation which came from the tribes of Israel; the sons of Jacob descendant of Abraham. God promised Abraham that the son of he and Sarah would be the beginning of a great nation. Isaac was born when they were very old, past child bearing age as a Promise from God to them.

But before she bore Isaac and because Sarah did not believe God could do this for her, she became impatient and sent her servant girl to Abraham's bed to bear a son for him.  And she the servant bore Ishmael who also came under the promise of God that many peolple would be descendants.  

When God speaks anything, it is for all time, and has no limits; otherwise He would say so.

When God spoke that many nations would develop through Abraham's son and Ishmael was born, God honored His Promise/Decree but the child Ishmael, could never and would never be of the priestly Line.

Yes, God knew what would happen. And today there are many descendants of Ishmael in the world.

But, they are not believers in God Almighty. Ishmael aligned himself with Satan, and to this day his descendants worship one of the many false gods.

Yet all who will bow the knee to God; and follow His Son with adoration in their hearts for Him, making a Way for them to be reunited with the Father even of Ishmael who rebelled against God, will be saved through the Power of The Blood shed on The Cross - even if previously they worshipped Allah, Buddha, Krishna, and any other "spirit,'  serpent, man devised tribal being.

Because God is not a liar!

Just turn to Him through His Son named Jesus, Whose Sacrifice has paid for your sin of unbelief. 

He's just looking for faithful people to believe in Him. 

Once we understand and have a desire to turn from our wicked ways, we speak that to Him and He will Forgive a repentant heart.

He knows you've been fooled and tricked by Satan.

This is what sets us free from the shackles of Satan who is going to suffer in Hellfire for a time according to God's Law.

This life gives us a "time" to realise the Truth; to find God, to forsake everything else and believe in His Son Whom He Sacrificed as a Payment to the Law for our souls.

That is The Way He made for us, in Great Sorrow, that we have not loved Him, and His Son had to suffer for us. He loves His Created beings of mankind that much. He had a Plan to Redeem us back to Himself our Creator. BUT He cannot take to Himself, evil. The Holy Blood of His Son cleanses us from all evil stains.

Such Great Love The Father has for us who believe. His Son's Death and Resurrection has the Power to restore us to wholeness in Himself once again. We are able to stand before Him in the same Purity in which we were created, because He sees His Son's Blood on us where before He saw only our wicked ways.
