There is but one will of God and it happens every single time. If our King made David lie down in green pastures, who are we to think we will be treated any differently? I cannot fathom why this concept is so difficult to get through to people. If all our steps have been ordered, as they all have, is it not then futile to ever consider that another vessel has harmed us? Is it not also pointless to ever regret a thing we’ve ever done? Accepting the Sovereignty of our Creator also makes all anxiety completely irrational. If our steps have been ordered, what in the world do we have to fear but ourselves? The true lesson to be learned from Job is that we are only to voice complaints to the Almighty. He spoke plenty of unwholesome words, they just weren’t mentioned in earshot of another human. Humans are evil, but we must, we must choose to see our Creator in everyone. When we choose to do this, when we see it is our Father working for his good pleasure through others, it becomes impossible to be offended. This is another reason why God’s sovereignty must be understood. He’s sovereign, not good. His Spirit is the good, our Spirits are the bad. Thoroughly embracing this eliminates all depression and anxiety from our lives in theory. Even if you are on the fence about this, I recommend adopting the mindset anyway.

Justus Almond Williams Why then are there comparisons in the Bible of good and bad, right and wrong, evil and righteousness, moral and self seeking, etc? If all things are of God and for God, then is judgement in our hands? Is his judgement simply based on ours? Perhaps he’s not a judge. Maybe he’s simply an arbitrator between us and Satan. Does what you’ve said apply to Satan or is he just following steps ordered by God? These, and many more questions are why the concept of gods sovereignty is difficult to understand.

Good news is needed for the sovereign of England ... because someday she’ll meet The Sovereign of the Universe. She’ll quickly see how sovereign she ain’t. Matthew 23:12

Good message. We live in a meticulously ordained universe, where God's sovereignty means that in a very real sense everything that happens comes from God's hand, including the crucifixion of Jesus. But this doesn't mean that we should deny that genuine free will of human beings exists. God uses acts of genuine free will as building blocks to form His meticulously ordained universe.

Max Aplin No one is here of their own free will. I don’t need free will to appreciate God anyway. Free will is not desirable. Do the math...free will and the risk of eternal damnation in Gods hell or no free will for a few years with no risk at all. Free will is a curse.

We have creaturely will...... Only God has true free will & yet He is not free to sin, nor to act contrary to His holy nature!! "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" "Everyone who sins is a slave to sin" "In Him we live, move and have our being"

Is eating blood sausage sin or blood pudding ... I have noticed that in acts we are commanded not to eat food given to the idols, blood, and meat from strangled animals, and sexual immorality. Could you please give us wisdom on the instructions for food, because in out traditional food we do have blood pudding.

toli bello There is no righteousness in refraining from anything. All things are permissible as long as gratitude and humility are the resultant effect. But, where malice exists there is law. Now one can worry about EVERYTHING they do.

toll bello Jesus Said..it is not important what goes in your mouth..it is important what comes out of your mouth! Jesus Saved The people of His Day from the gazillion stupid commandments of the Pharisees that were being laid upon them. God has ask us to Obey HIS commandments..NOT the commandments of Men. You got to differentiate.

Linda Cianchetti some have the spiritual gift of teaching and that’s biblical. The gift of teaching is something not everyone can put themselves in the position in as not many of us should become teachers because we will be judged judged more harshly. It’s when we begin to worship or idolize man that we can get into troubles

Linda Cianchetti “And He [God] gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:11-16 Listening to pastors and teachers accurately handle the word of God is listening to God.

Faith HK yes. But, God has created us complete. Whole. Equipped. We have the full capacity to listen directly to our source. There is no separation. A pastor to be most affective ought state there is no separation. No sin. No damnation. God awaits your ear, your heart, your attention. That’s all. Instead, pastors are interpreting gospel for others, individual, from their own personal (or mission’s) message. God speaks very personally to his children in as many unique words as unique creations.

Simon DeAngelo Yes. However, each of Love’s creation seeks God personally and Love is always responsive instantaneously. I feel in my heart, that God is Love. LOVE. Love is divinity. Love multiplies and does not subtract. Love is all in all. Where Love feels absent, divinity calls. There is no separation. But, consecration. CHRIST is within us, ALL. Jesus proved Love is divinity. Divinity is Love. This Truth, is the science of being.

God speaks through people🙌 that's how the Bible was written....and it's up to us to keep a balance in our spiritual lives and ask ourselves....who do we listen to more? Who do we get more comfort from? Pastors or God?
