The problem is that the gun carrying Christians think things are random in life and evil falls upon all people by the random throw of the dice outside of God’s will. They don’t believe Romans 8:28. Why? Perhaps they are not loving God to truly know? Maybe they are justifying sin and they don’t have an assurance that God is going to truly work all things for good in their life? I don’t know that answer. Only God does. But its strange,
They keep saying silly things like:
“Yeah, but what if this bad thing happened to you?
Or this bad thing happened to you?”
I will say:
“Nope.
All things (good and bad) work together for good to
those who love God. Romans 8:28.
Read it.”
Now, I believe there is a kind of bad that happens to unbelievers or sinners that is different for a believer. Because not all things are working for good to those who don’t love God. That’s the scenario the gun carrying person is trying to paint. They are trying to make us as if we don’t love God and that all things don’t work together for good to those who love God. They don’t believe Romans 8:28, and Psalms 91:10-12 is really true. They don’t full accept the truth of these verses.
Yet the problem with this church age is , THEY think that if one suffers or loses things , THAT MEANS ITS BAD .
WHEN IN TRUTH , IF the loss of those things draws us only closer to GOD , TO only being able to trust iN HE ALONE
I TELL US ALL THIS IS A GREAT BEAUTY i would not trade in for all the riches of this world .
TOO many are under a wrong mindset . THEY think and believe one is cursed if they suffer loss
they think we KINGS KIDS and thus if GOD loved us HE WOULD BLESS US with much money and great health .
WHEN IN TRUTH , the GREATEST BLESSING OF ALL , IS TO SIMPLY KNOW HE WHO CAN SAVE US and HAS SAVED US only more .
Most folks have no idea what it means to be blesssed of GOD .
SO let me remind us of what JESUS taught and what HE called a blessing .
FIRST i remind us of what the false men say . BLESSED ARE YE OF GOD when your houses get bigger , your money grows
and life is easy .
YET JESUS SAID , BLESSED ARE YOU , WHEN MEN HATE YOU , WHEN YE ARE PERSECUTED .
PAUL said he counted the LOSS of all things as only gain for JESUS
and counted them all as but dung to win Christ .
I also see the same folks are quick to pray against their enemies , to pick up arms , to have hope in whatever man
or govt can give them an easier life . YET I SAY i could live as a king under any condition . I COULD SING in prison .
I can sing no matter what i lose for CHRIST . cause MY HOME aint HERE , MY KINGDOM AINT OF THIS WORLD
And thus my HOPE aint in it or its men and politics . I EXPECT TRIBULATION . AND I KNOW MY GOD WILL BE WITH ME
THROUGH IT ALL . I GOT ONE HOME , ONE KINGDOM , ONE TREASURE , AND IT AINT HERE , ITS ABOVE my friend .
SO no matter what comes against me , I KNOW MY GOD SHALL BE WITH ME . NO matter what i will suffer
I KNOW it will not only work to my GOOD but that i too will be able to help others through as well .
MY HOPE IS NOT OF THIS WORLD . ITS JESUS CHRIST . LEt this world do to me as it will . SO LONG as I HAVE CHRIST
THAT ALONE IS ALL THAT MATTTERS TO ME . PEROID . And my prayer and hope for even those who hate me most
IS they will too come to CHRIST . MY FRIEND I HAVE BEEN SET FREE . JESUS SETS US FREE .
TO SUFFER FOR HIM IS gain , TO DIE FOR HIM IS GAIN . THERE is nothing for me in this world .
FOR ME the only treasure , hope , riches , life and life abundant , IS JESUS CHRIST . THEY can keep the rest
I have MY REST , HIS NAME IS JESUS . HOW I PRAY FOLKS WILL LEARN THIS FAST .
