    God will use persecution, rejection, and loss to force us to change. He’s not just trying to make your life miserable; He’s pushing you into your purpose.

        Really? What kind of teaching is that? We live in a fallen world. Satan is the one who does all that NOT, MY FATHER!!! If He did what you say then why did He have had to send Jesus? Do you not realize we are in a spiritual war!!! Oh, I know. You don't want people to know that.

        "All things work towards good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose." So God doesn't put bad things upon us. But he uses those things that happen in our lives to make us better, stronger, and more able to serve Him.

        Let me ask you, how many people count it as Joy when they fall into many trials? My Father ONLY allows them for you to grow into Christ. He doesn't use them. Here is a great teaching on thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYlpHy3Pvl0&t …

        “Allow” “use” in this context they mean the same thing. If God “allowed” it, i guess he’s “using” it.

        You see Joey if God will use persecution, rejection, and loss to force us to change then those are His attributes. But if My Father allows then they don't come from Him. See Job1. This is what I didn't like about the statement. Have a blessed day

        Sincerely I understand what you mean. God is the creator of EVERYTHING. remember in 1Sam 16:14 an “evil” spirit from the LORD tormented Saul. When the Bible say ALL things work together for good, it really does. All we need is the grace to go through these events.

        Though when you’re going through the “bad” it’s very uncomfortable and can’t seem to see what good can come out of it. See when Christ was being crucified and see the good that came out of it?

        ...but why must you be persecuted, to the point of no return, just to end up where He wants you to be? When He can simply guide your steps leading to where you need to be? 🤔 That same path can almost lead to being on the brink of suicide, bc there's No hope or resolution insight

        I love God, but sometimes you do have to wonder why do you have to always go through something bad, before you can appreciate life's goodness?

        These experiences work on our character. You have free will, you’re not a robot. Even when God guides us, we don’t always listen. It’s just like telling a kid not to touch something hot, naturally they rebel and do it. But they always learn from that mistake.

        True, but at the same time, when you are listening, and making sure He guides your steps daily, you still find yourself going through something.

        I understand, but then that’s why we are humans, we can’t operate 100% under his guidance because your flesh would always get in the way.

        I get it. We need trials in order to demonstrate how strong our faith, trust, and hope that we have in the Lord, and to learn on that even when we don't fully understand His purpose. ...just know he'll see you through.
