There is so much going on in the world right now. It really does seem to many that Jesus may be coming soon, because there is so much that is messed up.
It isn’t that there weren’t things going on in the world before, but now there seems to be more confusion, chaos and catastrophes than ever.
Why are all these things happening? Is Jesus really coming soon?
Is there even any point in trying to figure it out?
Is there anything we could do, even if we wanted to?
Everyone seems to have one thing in common, and that is we all want our lives to have meaning. We don’t want all this stuff to be happening for no reason at all. We want to understand. Our suffering shouldn’t be for nothing, should it?
Romans 8:28 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

The important part of this verse is to believe all works for good.
Loving God is part of that equation. Simple algebra, if a then b.
When we walk in that which we are called to walk in, whether the sun shines or the rain falls, all things work together for good.
Not everyone understands that we can claim Romans 8:28, along with other promises in the Bible for our lives.
The Bible is the most useful book that has ever been written, because we can use God’s Word as a legal claim for our inheritance in Christ. We won’t even know what that means unless we go through God’s Word to see the way the agreement works.
So, it makes sense then that rumors would be circulated through time and across the world that reading the Bible is forbidden, and that it has been altered so much that we cannot trust it.
When people do not recognize that there is an enemy of our souls that is an enemy of God, then they don’t recognize why they have been losing battles in their lives over and over and over again.
You can’t fight an enemy you do not recognize exists.
This is why preaching the Gospel is banned in many places, because the Gospel is powerful. Government leaders don’t want people to know the Gospel, because they are afraid of what might happen if people did. The Pharisees and Sadducees of the time of Jesus were the same way. They knew that if the Gospel was spread their immoral use of power would be demolished.
The people would no longer be slaves to unrighteousness. They would no longer be sick to death, depressed, addicted and overwhelmed by anxiety.
Galatians 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

Get to know The Way. Get to know God’s Word and begin to recognize the person you were created to be, in Jesus name!
