Why do so many believers panic when unexpected things happen in the world and/or in their lives, that deviate from ‘the normal’ and are not according to their expectations and will? Is God a God, who stays silent and keeps all things hidden and has secrets and keeps His children ignorant and let them wander about on earth? Why do so many Christians don’t understand God and can’t answer questions of unbelievers, but panic just like them and listen to the world and walk by faith, in submission and obedience to the world on the broad way? Why do so many Christians panic?
Is God a mysterious God, who keeps all things hidden?
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel (Isaías 45:2-3)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it (Revelación 2:17)
God is not a mysterious God, who keeps all things hidden, nor does He have secrets. But God is a loving, virtuoso, and transparent God, who has revealed everything in His Word, what people need to know, so that His children would know His will and be equipped and prepared.
God has revealed in His Word, A.O., His nature, Su voluntad, la Ley of the Spirit, the coming of His Son Jesus Christ, His Kingdom and power, el reino de las tinieblas, the way of salvation, la venida del espiritu santo, regeneración, La resurrección, the walk, works and destination of the new man (saint), the works (pecado) and destination of the anciano (pecador), the future on- and of the earth and the coming of the new earth.
Aquellos, who are born again and have an experiential relationship with Him, know His Word and because of that they know His thoughts and His ways (Leer también: ‘¿Son los pensamientos de Dios nuestros pensamientos??‘ y ‘Es el camino de Dios tu camino?').
The wisdom of God is revealed by the Holy Spirit to the new man
Sin embargo, hablamos sabiduría entre los que son perfectos.: pero no la sabiduría de este mundo, ni de los príncipes de este mundo, que llegan a la nada: Pero hablamos la sabiduría de Dios en un misterio., Incluso la sabiduría oculta, que Dios ordenó antes del mundo para nuestra gloria: Que ninguno de los príncipes de este mundo conocía: porque si lo hubieran sabido, no hubieran crucificado al señor de la gloria.
Pero como está escrito, El ojo no ha visto, ni oído oído, ni han entrado en el corazón del hombre, las cosas que Dios ha preparado para los que le aman.
Pero Dios nos las ha revelado por su Espíritu: porque el Espíritu todo lo escudriña, sí, las cosas profundas de dios.
Porque lo que el hombre conoce las cosas del hombre, salvar el espíritu del hombre que está en él? así también las cosas de Dios nadie las conoce, pero el Espíritu de Dios. Ahora hemos recibido, no el espíritu del mundo, pero el espíritu que es de Dios; para que sepamos las cosas que Dios nos ha dado gratuitamente (1 corintios 2:6-12)
El Espíritu Santo, who dwells in the new man, knows the deep thoughts of God and teaches the new man in the Word and reveals His will in every situation, and makes the mysteries and treasures of the Word known to the new man.
Por lo tanto, the new man shall not be surprised and shall not panic, since the new man knows the Word and knows, entre otros, that there will be storms in life and persecution of the world, and knows what will happen in the last days of the end times and what the sign of His coming and the end of the world will be.
The storms in the lives of people
In everyone’s life, there shall be storms, because Jesus has told us that. And since Jesus speaks the truth, there shall be storms in life. Jesús no dijo, that believers are excluded and that there will be no storms in the lives of believers. Sin embargo, Jesus dijo, that if a life is built upon the Rock and the person is rooted in the Word and does what the Word says and keeps standing in faith on the Word, the storms won’t do any damage (Mateo 7:24-27, lucas 6:46-49 (Leer también: 'Decir y hacer son dos cosas diferentes.')
Desafortunadamente, there is a gospel that contradicts the words of Jesus and convinces people and makes them believe that if you arrepentirse to Jesus Christ everything goes well and you shall experience no setbacks, resistencia, and persecution and that you only have to pray and God will give you all the desires of your heart.
It is indeed written in the Word, that He gives the desires of your heart. But there are a few words in front of this promise, which is often not quoted, a saber: trust in the Lord, y hacer el bien; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart (salmos 37:3-4).
Sin embargo, the problem is that many people are not born again and/or stay carnal and therefore their hearts remain unchanged. Por eso, they pray out of the lusts and desires and the will of their flesh, instead of praying after the Spirit after His will.
The resistance and persecution in the world
Estas cosas os he hablado, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: pero ten buen ánimo; He vencido al mundo (John 16:33).
The world tries to push her agenda and tries to approve everything that goes against the will and the words of God and make it normal, so that the people shall submit to the devil and live in obedience to his words after the will of the devil, instead of submitting to God and live in obedience to His Word after the will of God (Leer también: La voluntad de Dios versus la voluntad del diablo.).
The more Christians allow the spirit of tolerance in their lives and bow for the world and compromise and approve sin and/or even participate in the unrighteous works of darkness, the more the wickedness shall increase and as a result the true Christians, who have received the Holy Spirit and stay faithful to the Word and keep standing on the Word, shall be considered fools and shall experience resistance and persecution in their lives.
Aquellos, who want to be a friend of the world shall not be considered a fool, and shall not experience resistance and persecution, since they belong to the world and do what the world says and the world loves his owns.
Pero esos, who don’t belong to the world, but are chosen and belong to God and love God and His Word and walk in submission to God after the Spirit in obedience to Him, shall not be loved by the world, pero shall be hated and persecuted by the world.
Por qué? Because of the Name of Jesus Christ. Los Santos, who are born again in Christ, shall just like Jesus, testify that her works are evil.
Jesus dijo, a disciple is not above his master and nor the servant above his Lord. Si me han perseguido, ellos también te perseguirán, si han guardado mi palabra, Ellos también se quedarán con el tuyo (a.o Mateo 10:16-24, John 7:7; 12:25; 15:18-27; 17:14-25)
Therefore Jesus said, to count the cost, because following Jesus will cost you everything! (lucas 14:28, Marca 8:35 (Leer también: 'Count the costs‘ an ‘Seguir a Jesús te costará todo'))
Why do all these terrible things come on the earth?
Jesus didn’t keep us ignorant about the sign of Su venida and the end of this world. He has foretold everything about the things that will occur, so that the children of God are prepared and stay awake and because of their steadfastness, constancy, and endurance will gain their lives.
Jesús habló de falsos profetas, the love that shall wax cold, wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, Pestes (any deadly infectious malady*), signs in heaven, climate change, tribulation, el anticristo, etc.. The only thing no one knows, ni siquiera Jesús, but only the Father, is the day and the hour of Jesus’ devolver. But Jesus has also revealed this, so that no one will be deceived (Oh. Mateo 24:3-42, Marca 13:5-37, lucas 21:7-38, Revelación 1-22).
¿Por qué tantos creyentes entran en pánico??
But because many don’t seek the things, que estan arriba, but on the earth and don’t know the Word personally and haven’t built their faith on the words of God but on the words of people, they are not rooted in the Word, y como resultado, many are ignorant and surprised, fearful and even panic when the words of God are fulfilled.
They not only panic, but they allow themselves to be deceived by the world and believe the words of the world above the words of God and leave their faith in the Word and enter a way, which is not according to the will of God.
People may say they believe in Jesus Christ and that they love Him and can confess with their mouths all kinds of things and act piously in front of others. But when trials come and/or the words of God come to pass, only then shall appear if they truly believe in what they confess and believe what is written in the Bible and truly love Jesus Christ and stay faithful to Him and keep walking by faith or not.
