Hi John and Doves,

Almighty God created everything. EVERYTHING. Including evil. And all for our benefit. If we are to properly have free will, as He promised - we need to have choices. Therefore - evil has to exist. And making a conscious choice is what this life is ALL about. Learning lessons - be it through studying history or through our own experiences....or both. When bad things happen, we need to recognise that there is a lesson in there. However harsh. Almighty God never gives us a burden we cannot bear. We need to keep on remembering that. Ploughing through the bad times can test a person to their limits. And how far that testing goes, depends on how harsh a lesson we need to learn. Every brush with evil and hardship contains a lesson.

In Jude 9, the Archangel Michael did not dare heap verbal abuse upon Satan's head. Instead Michael said, "May the LORD rebuke you". Ever wonder why that is? It is because even Satan is God's creation and has been created to serve a purpose. It is NOT Michael's place to rebuke this truth. Jude 9 linked below.

There is a Psalm where David gives thanks for his hardships. It is those hardships that bring us closer to Almighty God.

This horror the world is going through now, is THE massive wake-up call of our known history. Almighty God has allowed it. Otherwise, it would not be happening. Allowing this truth to truly sink in, tells us how close we are to the finale. The evil happening with the USA elections?....God has allowed it. The buffoonery going on with the UK government re Covid? re Brexit? re pending war? re the Muslim refugee camps?....God has allowed it. This world is breaking down. Rapidly.

Once we truly absorb that our beloved Almighty God is the Creator of EVERYTHING and is in control of EVERYTHING is the minute we can stop feeling fearful and anxious. Our faith and trust in Almighty God needs to be embedded as a profound truth. And, we are to trust - as a small child would trust.

This world is about to get so much worse. Deceit in abundance and evil around every corner. God's wrath is simmering on the horizon. For those left behind - they still have a choice to make. This time - making that choice probably carries the death penalty. The true souls will make the right decision. Those who belong to God cannot be snatched out of His hand. No matter what the circumstances are.

After many a sleepless and anxious night - this truth has helped me let go of so many fears. And brought me even closer to my Saviour. My glorious Jesus.

EVERYTHING that is happening is because Almighty God is allowing it. Because we all have choices to make. We Doves have made that choice. Others will be forced to make the choice. Particularly Israel.
