1st Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.
We must be very careful not to harbor the spin that devils concoct to portray God as one who only seeks vengeance and judgements while the millions of His blessings which He bestows every day upon persons often go entirely unnoticed, or unmentioned by the majority of people. Therefore, we must now turn our attention to some of the reasons why God does not intervene in this, or that situation, for many are at a loss for words, if and when adverse circumstances may occur.
[1] Choices made carry natural consequences, and God is not duty-bound to deliver, intervene, prevent or mitigate adverse consequences from happening. In other words, Jesus is never obligated under any circumstances to prevent the natural results of sin from accruing. This particular truth must now be revealed in clear distinct lines, for some persons believe that God is the great preventer-in-chief.
This is absolutely not the case, for it is His sole prerogative to decide if or when He will deliver in this or that circumstance. Jesus volunteered to take upon Himself the sins of the world, but if He had not chosen to do so, God would still be a loving God. In addition to this, all of His promises are to be understood in the context of Him exercising discretion in different situations, and not the blanket guarantees as some might view His promises to be.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
