“Many trials that Satan causes make people weaker instead of stronger. If it were trials and tribulations that make us stronger, everybody on earth would be a spiritual giant. Certainly there have been enough trials and tribulations to perfect the saints. That must not be the avenue through which God perfects the saints.“1

Bad has absolutely nothing in common with good; hence bad isn’t the producer of good. In other words, good never sees bad as anything other than what it is – bad. Good moves from the point of good which is the vantage point of all reconciled unto the Family of GOD by the blood of Jesus. More specifically, through Christ Jesus, Believers have access to all the good things of God. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God” Romans 8:26 (KJV). For those of the new covenant ratified by the blood of Jesus, the “all things that work together” pertain to the things of God: the Word of God, the Name of Jesus, Anointing Oil, the Angels of God, the Ministry of Authority, Exaltation, etcetera. Believers fight the good fight in the whole Armor of God: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and all types of prayers and request (Ephesians 6:10-18). These are for our use; not for justifying the bad things of the enemy. Yet Believers are relatively quick to explain why some speak that which isn’t in keeping with God’s Word. The Living Word has told us that the enemy only comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10a), so why do a significant number of Believers assist the enemy by speaking contrary to the WORD?

God Who is Omnipotent has no need to take a baby ’cause He needs another flower; and Love Who is GOD doesn’t give His sons & daughters maladies to teach them a lesson. “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life” John 3:16 (AMP). The Passion of The Christ was for our healing & health and abundance & supply; the Lord Jesus came that we might choose to have and enjoy life to the full, in abundance, ’til it overflows (John 10:10b [AMP]). God the Father “calls things that are not as though they were” Romans 4:17b (NIV); so too those reconciled unto the Family of God by the Blood are to speak. During His earthbound ministry, the Lord Jesus only spoke and did as He heard and saw of Abba Father (John 5:19, John 8:26b, 28, 38, John 12:49-50, John 14:10); so too those reconciled unto God the Father by the Blood are to do. Believers are commanded to walk by faith not by sight (Romans 1:17; 2Co 5:7; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38); and faith calls forth the always good things of God (Matthew 18:19-20 & 21:21; Mark 11:22-24; John 14:12).
