WHY IS GOD DOING THIS TO ME?
This is a question that everyone of us ask one time or the other, even those who believe in Jesus Christ. A student in our college received the sad news that while crossing the road, her brother got hit and died. Hearing this, a madam said, 'Why did God take away the life of that poor boy?' The other day an officer working in the transport department expressed his anger at God, 'I never hurt anyone. Always I try to help people. But see what has happened to my son. He got a paralytic attack and he is suffering. Of course, my brother went for some witchcraft claiming property from my portion. But since we are good, why should this sorcery take effect on us? Aren't we good? Why does God do this to us? There is another extreme view towards sickness and misery: 'This is from God. God loves me and wants me to suffer this. Let His will be done in my life.'
Not that I know in detail the answers to such 'whys', but using simple logic and common sense, I can throw some light on this matter, as anyone else also can. Well, again we should know our origin. It is God created different types & categories of beings in heaven to carry out particular functions. Lucifer was a beautiful one equipped with musical instruments in his body itself for worship. Soon he began to think he could replace God and got quite a number of Angels to do a kind of mutiny in heaven. God threw them out from heaven and they contaminated the earth. Lucifer became satan and his Angels became devils & demons 'gods'.
God recreated the earth and also man. Satan used his convincing skills on man and got him also to join him, submit to him. This resulted in man being cut off from God, and man being connected with satan. In fact, satan's sin nature, his DNA got a place along with man's DNA. The earth got sold out to satanic management. But God provided a way out. God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the blood price and become the Way for man to reconnect with God. Those who accept this and invite God into their hearts, get reconnected with God. They come under God's Government, while the others remain under satan's government. This government operates in the unseen spiritual world.
Fools ask, 'Who has seen God? Who has seen hell or heaven?' Well, death is one sure occasion you shall see and know things you didn't want to know while totally limiting yourself to life in the seen world -the physical world. You experience the air, but you can't catch it. You know that hydrogen and oxygen exist and they combine to form water. Water, you can see but not hydrogen or oxygen. There are radio, television and now mobile phone signals in the air around us. These are also things you cannot see. It is foolish to be selective when it comes to matters of the spiritual kingdom.
There is a dark and a light part to the spiritual kingdom. And, the spiritual kingdom rules over the physical kingdom. The law of cause and effect does operate, whether you are ignorant or aware. God has established laws concerning the functioning of every facet of the universe He created. God is not a fool. He is an intelligent being having a well-organized kingdom.
Those who seek God, find Him. When a person accepts God, God welcomes him. However, God is a Gentleman. He does not forcefully pull anyone to the shelter of His Wings. The exercise of free will & choice is God's gift to man. He honors it and does not violate it to come to a person and help, because that person has not come to God. Even though a person is in danger, God cannot extend His hand and pull him out to safety, because the law of governments operates. A person who has not accepted God is under satan's government. Any devil or demon has the right and reason to come and hit that person and go any time. Ignorance of the functioning of spiritual principles does not give immunity.
Of course, a person close to God can request God to protect another. That is a subject vast & different altogether. So, the issue of bad things happening to good people is the question of knowledge -knowledge of spiritual truths.
