GOD is Not Happy With Punishing People

GOD is Not Happy With Punishing People

For years, I couldn’t understand, why a loving GOD commanded us to forgive our enemies and even pray for them. Fast forward, and already 16 years since I became a born-again Christian, I finally understood why.

GOD has seen all of our struggles. He has witnessed when we are down, and no one has been there for us. The secret longings of our hearts – HE knows it all, when alone in our room we are crying and it feels like no one is there for us, unbeknown to us, GOD is actually there. GOD knows exactly what we are going through. I can only imagine how it hurts HIM the most when HE has to allow a bad thing to happen.

After much reading the bible, and reading books of Isaiah, and Ezekiel, I am highly convinced that GOD is not happy with punishing people. That is the reason why HE had sent tons of prophets in times past to warn people. But of course, people simply chose darkness over GOD’s sovereign and rightful standards. GOD in HIS holiness, and being a just GOD, has no other option but to punish people in their stubbornness.

With this knowledge, I have much respect for human life. I do not consider myself superior to anyone else, nor inferior too. I have always been praying to the LORD, to always help me to respect people – regardless of if they are Christians or not, whether they have the same dress code as I do or not, whether they go to church or not, or whether they have vices like drinking or smoking.

It also helped greatly that I am now free from the abusive relationship that I was in previously. I found peace being with GOD, and it also caused me to be able to spend more time with HIM. Being alone right now, but with GOD, I found that I am healed thoroughly and even started praying for those people who either maliciously hurt me or unknowingly hurt me in the past.

GOD is a very good GOD. There is much that I need to learn and I am thankful that HE has been with me ever since I was young up to now.

Honouring God

I was praying the words out loud that he was saying and got down on one knee. I have had a hard time kneeling, but I did anyway to honour God. Afterwards, when I stood up, all the pain was gone in that bad knee. Thank You, God.

Grabbing the Word

I was dizzy, nauseous and had a terrible headache. Doctors couldn’t help me, and I started to become depressed, anxious and scared. I had never experienced something like this.

I Believe My Neighbour Will Receive Christ

I requested prayer for my Muslim neighbor who’s very open to the gospel. He had been experiencing severe back pain which affected his ability to work. When I asked how he was doing, he exuberantly expressed how good he was feeling! I informed him that prayer had been made on his behalf and I think it surprised and pleased him. I believe that my neighbour will receive Christ as his personal Savior very soon.

Breakthrough Prevailed

A brother in the Lord who was involved in a car crash. A tire blew and the steel on the driver’s door rolled up like a window blind. We knew the devil had tried to kill him but failed. He walked in the cold to a motel, then to a bus station the next day to get home. Less than a week later, after the pressure to give up, a breakthrough prevailed and he’s driving a better car and doing his job. PRAISE GOD!

Claiming Tither’s Rights

When I opened my refrigerator, it had apparently been off for several hours. I repeatedly turned the temp off and on and prayed. Finally, I yelled and told the devil to get off my fridge; that I’m a tither and that God has rebuked the devourer. I hit the side of my fridge and commanded it to work in Jesus’ Name!

Pandemic Prosperity

After university, I ended up owing $16,000. I was told I would be paying those loans off for the rest of my life. During the beginning of the coronavirus, I started listening to the Copelands, George Pearsons, Jesse Duplantis, Jerry Savelle and others preach on faith and how to sow your way out of debt. I became a Partner and got serious about paying off those loans. My job was considered essential, so I worked from home at full pay. One of my loans was sent into mandatory forbearance because of the state of the nation, but I paid anyway, far more than was required, all while sowing. It took about a year to pay off the loans. Now I’m debt-free and my bank account is growing. God prospered me during a pandemic! Praise be to God, and thank you, KCM and others, for teaching me.

Everything I Asked For

I needed a tooth extracted. I was concerned about pain because no dentist had been able to numb my mouth completely. I felt the Lord directed me to do it while visiting another state. An unusual name kept coming to my mind. When I looked up dentists in that area, one of them had that name. By faith, I made an appointment with him. I am so glad I did—he was an expert. I was done in 20 minutes, had no pain during the procedure, and didn’t need anything for pain after. It was everything I asked the Lord to provide.
