Why God made us like He did; God's reason for thought testing. Part 14.

Friday, September 18, 2009

1. Knowing the Angelic Conflict.
2. Knowing the Glorification of God.
3. Knowing no man after the flesh.  
4. Others.
5. Bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

Why does God allow disasters to take place in the believer’s life:
Why disaster testing.

(1) Personal disaster testing is designed as suffering for blessing for acceleration of momentum, or warning of cosmic involvement, in which case divine discipline becomes involved.
(2)  Historical disaster, collective disaster, or national disaster testing is related to the bad decisions of others in which you are involved by association.

In this divine test, [disaster testing], the believer has the privilege of understanding these doctrines and of appreciating the One who protects and delivers him.

Job 5:20, In economic depression He [God] will ransom you from death, and in battle from the power of the sword.

Adversity, suffering, and disaster have the ability to destroy concentration.

The suddenness or intensity of a disaster hinders the believer from concentrating on doctrine he has already learned.

Mat 10:29-30, “Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And {yet} not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
