Answer:
I want you to know that God loves you. Im not a drama king but i find that as I follow Gods word ,He does throw some mind boggling, awe inspiring,jaw-dropping curve balls at us that are intended to "wake us up" (as he has done with this most recent revelation i received)! Jesus "woke people up" not that im anywhere close to being like Jesus(beings he was the son of course he would speak as the Father , shockingly);case-in-point:when people were told to forgive everyone their tresspasses & love their enemies; is,was, and will be for most people a real SHOCKER (most people don't want to do this nor do they) (they just don't want to believe it). Their are many out here in this world that dramatise HELL,SATAN,GOD for to control the people and rob them; i assure you i am not one of them. I come with the TRUTH (not my truth,cause as a man i havent,but with Gods) & I CAN PROVE IT! For starters look to Exodus 7:3, 9:12, 10:20, 10:27. Would'NT you agree for a man to have a hardened heart is evil/bad right? Of course! God chastised & punished mankind since the beginning for being stubborn,unyielding,self willed, hardened hearted or stiffnecked!!! However, in these scriptures it clearly states that GOD hardened pharoahs heart "not pharoah hardened his own heart"! See you and I thought that if we did evil OR good its cause "WE CHOSE TO" but here in these scriptures it DOESNT SAY that pharoah hardened HIS OWN HEART. So that it is quite evident that God was in charge,implying pharoah WASNT in charge (having choice)! When pharoah thought he was in control (choosing to go against God), God tells Moses I WILL harden his heart. Pharoah DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE AT ALL! At least, think on this for a few moments and God will reveal truth to you, so that you can see what the Bible truly reads. Allow me to further prove throughout scriptures,time & again God says HES IN CONTROL OF BOTH EVIL & GOOD, with the clear implication that mankind hasn't a choice in the matter, for good reason (cause man is a bad judge)! Matthew 6:13 "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil". Why do you think Jesus would tell us to say "lead us not..."? Does Jesus think God gets confused with helping people or hurting them,so you must be specific with God or he'll hurt you? Have you ever questioned this prayer or just overlooked it (now we all overlook super-important little details), well now's your chance to look. Jesus said that we should pray that way cause he knows that God delivers and destroys,heals & wounds, throws people in sin & brings them out,cast people in darkness & brings people to the light and that we must ask this way so in essence we are asking Gods MERCY! God is in control, not man. Again please, you may know the story of Joseph (coat of many colors)? Have you considered one of the most important things JOSEPH ever said? Gen.50:20 "Ye indeed meant evil against me: God meant it for good, in order that he might do as it is this day, to save a great people alive" Dont you see yet what the Bible truly reads? When man (his brothers in this case) does evil he thinks that hes in control, he thinks he had his OWN WAY & God doesnt have any say about, this is the blindness of man! When man does evil or good you better believe that God has everything to say about it & is in complete control, not man. Man has no choice in any matter,none,nada,zero,zilch,zip,squat, nothing!!!! Its all God. Sounds bleak doesnt it? Even unbelievable? Its all true but heres the bright side (even though man has'NT "free will" as we'de all like to believe) man has a part in it after all, he truly does. Mans part isn't to make decisions(Gods made & makes all those), man gets to receive BELIEF,that's right "power to believe", a.k.a. FAITH. See faith isn't the same as choice,not at all. Choice says i am man and i choose. Belief says God is creator,& he chooses,hes in control,he has all the power,all glory and i have faith in HIM, not in myself. Saul thought he had a choice to do evil and so he did evil,but Saul was blinded he had no choice in the matter NONE. David was going to be king and their was nothing Saul could possibly do about it,so he ends up killing himself,and even then Saul probably thought that he chose to commit suicide, BUT HE DIDNT, God chose death for Saul. Same with back stabbing Judas, he had no choice,lets look closer at this one. John 13:27 "And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus to him, That you do, do quickly." Dont you see yet what the Bible truly reads? Jesus had control over Satan and put Satan into Judas<SEE THIS SATAN has no choices either! Just as Jesus had control over the demons he has control over Satan. Satan cant say hmm, i will be a good boy today and worship God the Father. WHY? cause God tells Satan what to do and how,when, and where! Consider the story of Job 1:7....."And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job" Now Satan didnt harm Job all the years of his life up until now (Job was doing pretty well for himself). But WHEN did Job have hard times? when God told Satan what to do, God told him to consider Job, didnt he? God is in control. Satan & man DO NOT HAVE choices, we do as God has us do. Does God want us to do evil? NOOOOOOOOOOOO, that's not what im saying,think man think! God wishes that no man does evil. Matthew 18:14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost...............................What little ones? the children that were near by. Why children? cause they are representative of the angels in heaven with the humility that they have. God doesnt destroy the humble. However, to all who received him, those believing in his name,
he gave authority to become God's children!!!!!!! its not about choice as MAN has thought it has been since ADAM. Stop thinking you GOT CHOICES-YOU DONT. You have belief, that's different completely. Man thinks that he even has the ability to choose belief or not to believe;YOU CANT choose belief or non-belief. Belief is given to all man freely. GIVEN,get that? Either you believe or you don't. But God gave us the truth and he gave us belief in truth. If we (think we) choose not to believe truth ,we are only liars,which God made us guilty if we reject/refuse HIS BELIEF in HIS TRUTH. The best man can do is BELIEVE. A friend of mine said "Hey,if mankind hears this revelation God has shown you then they will justify all the evil they do." And i asked this friend: " does most mankind follow more often choice or belief" she responded "choice/free will". Then i asked "does most mankind justify their evil or repent and grow in faith?" She exclaimed "they justify their evil". I replied, "there you have it, when mankind follows "free will" they believe they have the power,they have the last say, they,they,they. But believers are the apple of Gods eye for they know not to justify, cause they know that they are guilty as sinners and work towards greater glorification to God almighty, not mankind. May God continue to bless you.
