What do I mean by that statement? Let me give an example.
Lets' say someone goes to an automobile dealership, buys a brand new car, takes it home and parks it in the driveway.
This same person never washes it, drives it and does nothing to it. Never even looks at it.
What will eventually happen to this car? It will eventually fall apart, it will be "no good."
That's the same thing that will happen to anything that is, "left to itself," people included.
Genesis 1:26 & 27 tlb, "Then God said, 'Let us make a man - someone like ourselves to be master of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas. So God made man like his maker. Like God did God make man."
You are a "god" in your own little world, that world you live in on a daily basis. If something is happening in your world that you do not like, change it.
We are master of this life, take control of it, God gave you dominion, because "anything left to itself will go to the Devil."
That's where pain and suffering comes from, something or somebody has been left to the Devil
If God is not in a persons' life, there is a void, an opening and the Devil will step right in to feel that void and bring all of his pain and suffering with him.
That's one of the Devils' main tricks, getting the human race to blame God for all of the troubles in this life, in this world.
God loves us all, His sun shines on everyone.
Why would God cause us pain and discomfort, ask yourself that question. He has given us dominion of the earth to rule over it, not for it to rule over us.
Any pain and discomfort that we experience is due to the fact that we are not the masters of our life, not because of anything that God is doing. It's because of something that we are not doing.
Luke 10:17 - 24 tlb,"...When the seventy disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, "Even the demons obey us when we use your name." "Yes, he told them, 'I saw Satan falling from heaven as a flash of lighting! And I have given you authority over all the power of the Enemy..."
The enemy, the Devil is any person, place or thing that separates us from God.
Drugs,alcohol,pornography, whatever is driving a wedge between you and God is the enemy.
"Haven't you yet learned that your body is the home of the Holy Spirit God gave you, and that He lives within you? Your own body does not belong to you. For God has bought you with a great price (His Son Jesus). So use every part of your body to give glory back to God, because he owns it." (1 Corinthians 6:19 & 20 tlb) Jesus is our savior; he is, not going to be. He has already redeemed us. The thing is to realize it and accept it.
God has done all that He is going to do, we have been redeemed.
Luke 11:10 tlb, "Everyone who asks, receives; all who seek, find; and the door is opened to everyone who knocks."
In the Book Of John chapter 3, Nicodemus who was one of the religious leaders of that day, secretly, approached Jesus trying to figure out what He was talking about.
To make a long story short, "Jesus replied, ‘With all earnestness I possess I tell you this: Unless you are born again, you can never get into the Kingdom Of God."
What's this "Born Again" that Jesus was talking about. We must change our way of thinking. We must come to realize that God is on our side.
If you are experiencing pain and suffering, ask yourself; what is my mind focused on, what am I thinking about?
Give yourself a, "check - up, from the neck - up."
And remember, a persons' life is the reflection of their meditations, their thoughts. The creative substance of the universe is in the mind. Whatever you continue to focus on, to think on will become an experience in your life, be it good or bad, the choice is yours.
Albert Einstein put it this way, "Your Imagination Is Your Preview Of Your Life's Coming Attractions."
The question that was asked, "Why Is There So Much Pain And Suffering In The World?"
It is due to what is termed, "Race Consciousness."
Race Consciousness is when there is a whole race or group of people, a town, club or what have you thinking and acting along similar lines, realizing that thinking determines actions.
So if you have a million people for example that have missed the mark about what God has said and done then, "Anything Left To Itself Will Go To The Devil."
