Philippians 2:13 “ “for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose .” - New International Version YOUR will? ‘Christian’, you who believe in ‘free will’, but simultaneously in God’s sovereignty, don’t play with the sovereignty of the God of the universe! Don’t read the Bible with your egoistic agenda, ignoring verses like the one above, which explicitly states that GOD is the One who determines your will to fit HIS PURPOSE ! Besides, what’s your definition of the “ good ” in God’s good purpose? Eternal damnation? Oh my goodness! On the one hand you say God is good and God is love . But, on the other hand you embrace the ‘free will’ nonsense, based upon manuscripts dating back to Origen. The obsession with ‘free will’ is all about the hunger to control and for self-determination , clearly two manifestations of Satan’s assignment in Eden already. And the THIRD one? FEAR! Do you for one moment think that Satan (aka Lucifer ) was NOT afraid after being banished from Eden (of course all his unclean demons too ( Mark 5:12 ))? Well, think again. He was saturated with fear ( Revelation 12:12b )! His anger was secondary to his deep-seated anguish. Besides, what does one have one didn’t receive from above, albeit indirectly from God ( 1 Corinthians 4:7b ), in this case with Adam and Eve of course? The devil was given a job and to be able to do that job God equipped him accordingly. Needless to say, Lucifer was given fear to pass on to the first two inhabitants of the earth. Fear enchains. Fear enslaves. Fear controls! Satan was only passing on these traits, traits seen all over the show! Hidden fear of ‘ Christians ’ who have to perform and that includes the hidden fear of the global freemasons as well! YOUR actions? Had you but believed that YOUR actions are NOT by YOUR doing, but by GOD’S doing, then you would have been a FREE person today! FREE in the hands of the Almighty God, FREE to love yourself irrespective of all your ill-doings, FREE to forgive yourself for every one of them and accepting the loving discipline of God nonetheless ( Romans 5:3-4 ). Confess your ill-doings to Christ with remorse, irrespective of the fact the HE had predestined them as part of His wonderful plan for all . You will be amazed by just HOW stress free you become! And you will see HOW everything fits. 1 John 1:5-9 “ 5   This then is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light , and in him is no darkness at all . 6   If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7   But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin . 8   If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9   If we confess our sins , he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins , and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” - Webster’s Bible Translation Nobody wants to do wrong and yet nobody can interfere with either God’s plan, or with His bigger purpose with all! To experience evil in the first place is there for a purpose ( Isaiah 45:7 ) and one purpose only ; to acknowledge His sovereignty ! How can one acknowledge God’s Sovereignty, if not by becoming aware of one’s vulnerability? And how does one become aware of one’s vulnerability, if not by being smitten down? Adam and Eve were NOT aware of God’s Sovereignty at all, let alone of the evil He created. Since God is just, having NO favorites ( Romans 2:11 ), even these first two earthlings (and the magnificent Lucifer as well, btw) were not spared the taste of evil. Lucifer had to be made haughty and arrogant, in order to do what he was assigned to do, deceiving the world! He had to lose his lustre and BECOME EVIL ! The moment you realise that you have NO free will whatsoever, that moment you stop pointing fingers (including to yourself), seeing others with different eyes and with a different heart. THEN Satan (aka Lucifer) has NO hold on you anymore and your dark shackles of slavery and fear of death have vanished in the LIGHT of Christ ! You will stop to judge and you will stop to compare yourself with anyone, knowing that you too are just as important for Christ as anyone else is! Then you will see politics as part of God’s plan TOO! Then you will start praying for those who in your opinion are dong the ‘wrong’ things, instead of condemning them! Then you will realise the incredible favour Judas did you by having betrayed Jesus, the betrayal that was orchestrated by none other than Christ Himself, to SAVE THE WORLD! Then you will realise that you being a good person is NOT by your own doing, but by Christ’s! 1 Corinthians 4:7 “For who makes you different from anyone else ? What do you have that you did not receive ? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not ?” - New International Version To FULFILL His good purpose? Giving His GRACE to ALL Revelation 22:21 “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.” - NET Bible
