As Forest Gump said, "$#it happens". It happened in our lives before we knew the Lord and continues after we know the Lord. Jesus said that Satan is the God of this world, therefore if anyone is to blame, it is he and not God.
The difference for believers is that we have a mighty and all powerful God who reigns in heaven above and earth beneath just as Rahab declared. Unfortunately most believers completely forget that Jesus reigns through us, and he has given us the anointing and power to address such problems, provided we listen to him and follow his leading.
The starting point of all things has to be wisdom. Just knowing scripture verses, or going to a nice church has no bearing on how to address these situations unless we know God's strategy for us and for that situation.
James1v2Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
This scripture is a promise that God will give wisdom to all who ask.
To receive wisdom however, we need to let go of our human earthly false wisdom, otherwise we will be closed off what God gives. An example of the false wisdom that pervades the church is the notion that God persecutes his children.
Do we not remember Jesus told us that "
the enemy (Satan) comes to kill steal and destroy", yet listening to the average christian conversation I would conclude they believe that Jesus comes to kill steal and destroy. Anyone desiring wisdom must first abandon all false accusations against the good loving character of God in Christ Jesus.
If we want a taste of the character of God, read about Jesus in the gospels and see that he loved, healed, and delivered all who came to him. That is the true character of God.
