Conclusion


        God wants us to conquer. WE are the light of the world. God 

has made us kings and priests over the earth. Kings to have 

dominion(authority) over the earth and Priests to commune in 

fellowship with the father.   

        We keep minimizing God’s authority by asking all sorts of 

vague questions. Who are we to keep questioning our creator? 

Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with merely 

asking(seeking) a question(Matt 7:7). But there is a problem when 

we ask in doubt (Lk 7:20). We must understand that there is a 

difference between ‘merely asking a question’ and ‘questioning in 

doubt’. Questioning in doubt is so wrong. Some of us have gone to 

the extent of asking God why he even created us in the first place 

to let us suffer in this world? I mean are you serious right now? I 

believe you wouldn't ask your parents why they gave birth to you 

right? LOL.  

       Besides, God created us so that he could share his love with 

us. The love that God the father had with his son(Jesus) was 

awesome. Therefore, God created human beings so that he would 

share more of this love; because love is not love until it is shared. 

Think of it this way. When you have a party, will it be so much fun 

if there are few people. Won't you have more fun when there are 

more people? The more the invitees, the greater the love is shared 

among friends right? In the same way, God had to create more 

people in order to share in the love and have fun with us. Cool 

huh? 

         Let me conclude by making something crystal clear. God 

loves us so much and therefore, it is not God's intention to ever 

hurt his children. But, when ever the devil hurts us(causes us pain), 

God uses that pain to make us grow stronger in faith. So God uses 

the pain that satan inflicts on us, to train us for bigger 

challenges ahead. Therefore, God ends up using the devil's evil 

plans for his glory. To God be all the glory and praise. 
     
                                                Peace and Love...Acha :)
   
         
    

Reasons why God lets us to endure in pain



    Now, let us take a look at some of the reasons why God lets us 

to endure in pain on this earth: 

      1. To fulfill prophecy

       May I remind you that God's path is not always the easiest 

path. Along the path comes trials and temptations. The bible says 

"because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not 

only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf"(phil 1:29). 

So you see, as children of Christ, we shall have good moments but 

we shall also receive pain on his behalf, same as he(Christ) 

received pain on God's behalf. However, the pain is only physical. 

As born again(saved) christians, we have spiritual joy and peace of 

mind which is for eternity. 

2. To make us stronger
     
     Recall that it is not God's will to hurt his children because he 

loves us so much. However, whenever satan tempts us, God uses it  

for a greater purpose. It is not God's will for you to be tempted but 

when temptation comes from the devil, he lets you go through it so 

that you get experienced and stronger. And next time, you will 

know how to use the holy spirit to defeat something you have 

already seen before and then, you will be able to deliver others. It 

kind of ties with that old saying that "what doesn't kill you makes 

you stronger". Therefore, as children of God, we should count it all 

joy when we are attacked by the devil because the truth is 'the 

devil ignores folks who do not have a personal relationship with 

Jesus'. 

3. To get the experience and then help others: 

    To respond to God's calling implies you are ready for training. 

When God calls you, he wants to use you to help(and save) others; 

and you can' t do that without having some experiences of pain and 

struggle. For instance God lets the demons to attack you in order 

that you would get that experience so that when you are about to 

cast demons out of others, you would know exactly how the 

victims feel. You will be like "my sister/brother, I know how you 

feel because I have seen this before. you demon, I command you to 

get out of this body in the mighty name of Jesus". The bible says 

"the spirit led Jesus to the wilderness to be tempted by the devil"

(Matt 4:1). So you see, when the holy spirit leads you some where 

so you could be tempted by the devil, it is for a great purpose i.e to 

get you ready for bigger challenges.  Amen!

     The bible says that Suffering produces endurance. The ESV 

bible says and I quote "we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that 

suffering produces endurance"(Rom 5:3).  

4. To prove to satan that we can defeat him. 

     Recall that God is the creator of heaven and earth(Gen 1:1). 

Also, God created all living things in the universe. That is how 

powerful God is. On the other hand, to the best of my knowledge, 

satan has not created anything. That is how little and weak he is. 

So, satan can't even stand 1% of God's power. Therefore, 

technically speaking, this spiritual warfare is not even between 

satan and God. satan is too little to get into a war with GOD. This 

war is between satan and us; but in order to win it, we must use 

that spiritual weapon(holy spirit) which God has already given us. 

Will your teacher do your home work for you? Definitely not. 

Instead, your teacher will give you material to study for your home 

work and score well right? In the same way, God is our teacher and 

we are his students. So, God has given us home work(assignment) 

and a weapon(success tool) to pass this assignment(temptation 

from the devil). Therefore, we are fighting God's battle which is 

too little for him to fight. Shouldn't we be honored to be chosen by 

God to fight his battle and win? I think it is a huge honor. 

*5. The world is still corrupted by the fall of Adam and Eve.   

     The reason people are still suffering in the world is because  the 

mistake if Adam and Eve has consequences which will continue 

until the end of the world. Jesus came to restore dominion and 

communion which man had lost to the devil, but some effects to 

Adam's fall still take place such as pain at child birth, working 

extra hard to put food on the table. etc.  

Introduction


        We keep asking ourselves that why did God not destroy satan 

in the garden of Eden once and for all? or why won’t God destroy 

satan today? Well, after serious meditation over and over, this is 

what God told me. God wants to show satan that we(humans) are 

in control of this universe, that we are kings and priests of this 

world. Also, God wants to prove to satan that we can defeat him by 

ourselves. 

By 'ourselves', I mean God won't get rid of satan by himself

(although he could); but the thing is God has decided to use us to 

get rid of satan. I mean think of it. Will your teacher do you 

homework for you? God is our teacher and he has given us an 

assignment which is to remind the devil that he was already 

defeated thousands of years ago; and God has also provided us the 

tool(holy spirit) to use in order to get rid of this annoying, toothless 

and powerless satan. 

      Now, here comes the million dollar question. Why is God still 

letting us to suffer on earth? First of all, don't look at it as 'suffer'. 

God loves his children so much that it is not his will for us to 

suffer. So, the right question is "Why is God allowing us to endure 

on earth"? Before I answer that, I would like to ask you this 

question. If God loves his son(Jesus) so much, why did God let his 

son(Jesus) to go through so much pain on the cross? If you can 

brainstorm on that question, then you will begin to see that God 

lets us go through certain situations for a bigger purpose which 

only HE, knows. In the case of Jesus, God allowed him to endure 

in human pain so that: 

1. Man could regain that power and authority(dominion) which 

was lost many years before by Adam to satan.

2. Man could regain that awesome relationship(father-son) which 

was lost by Adam. Man can now commune in fellowship with the 

father.
