Is God In Control Today?
Really?   You Sure?
How - or How Not?

Today's sufferings are not God caused - but they are God allowed!

If you are trying to live according to Paul, then some of your sufferings are often a 'result' of but are still not God's punishment, chastisement, judgment, etc.
II Thessalonians 1:3-12; 2:2-3

These troubling times - are they from God?
Does HE make you sick, etc.?
Does HE give you the kidney stones?
Does HE hurt your eyes?
Does HE give you a miscarriage?
Does HE give you arthritis?
Does HE give you alzheimers to drag out your death?
Does HE kill you early 'before your time?'
Does HE put you into accidents?
Does HE burn down your house / apartment?
Are these natural disasters in America now a result of God's judgment?

Do we go to Old Testament for examples...
Do we go to Hebrews 12, I Corinthians 11 and Revelation 3
...to show folks that our 'God' does these things to us to help us 'grow' or/and to punish us for unconfessed sin, etc.?

(Listen to the audio closely!)


Longsuffering means allowing suffering in this world...
Romans 2:4
more...

See Acts 17:30,31
See Acts 17:23-31


Yes, there are things He will send:
Amos 8:11-13
II Thessalonians 2:9-11

He will laugh at them when they call upon him?
Proverbs 1:24-33

But today?
Who is the god of this world TODAY?
II Corinthians 4:4
Who is the ruler of darkness?
Ephesians 6:12
Who is the prince and power of the air?
Ephesians 2:2
Who is the tempter?
I Thessalonians 3:5

Future
Satan will be bound because he MUST BE!
Revelations 20:1-3
Released - leads rebellion again - lake of fire finally!
Revelation 20:7-9
Revelation 20:10-15

The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn from the "For" and we learn to apply the 'TO!"
These writings of Paul are directly from the Risen Saviour to Paul...
...and then to us through the King James Bible by the Holy Ghost!
