and stronger.. but don’t let it enter and take you over as that is its goal.. to make life so bad, so hurtful, so much disaster, trauma, drama, hate and cruelty, murder, killing, senseless dying, maiming, chaos and harm that you will lose your faith in good, in God.
That you will turn against God and not believe any longer.. that is what evil wants to lower you to its level. That is evil’s goal. That is Satan’s goal for all of God’s children. Satan captures and collects souls and evil will come after you the quickest and most direct way to your soul
Can you feel it in the wind, in the air, in the misdoings and ugly deeds?
I had a call from a friend recently who was distraught over the storm damage in Oklahoma… the needless suffering of innocents because of the weather. In his pain and torment, he asked, “How can God let this happen? If there is a God, why didn’t he stop the deaths and suffering of the innocent children!? If God controls the universe, he controls the weather, why didn’t he stop the storms from doing so much harm and damage?
In talking with him, I know that he has a wounded inner-child. Therefore, he identifies deeply with the suffering of children. It breaks his heart because that is how and where his heart is broken. It’s his wound.
And that is where Satan will come after you… right where you live, right where your wound is deepest, where you are most vulnerable because he knows that may be the way, the only way, that he can get you to turn against God.. turn against faith and belief in goodness and God…and to come to his side of evil corruption…
I am writing this for my friend….
Recently, I was hit hard where I live. As you all know, I slipped on an unmarked wet floor.. breaking my elbow and creating a hairline fracture in my hip. This accident took away my independence, my physical capabilities which I have had all my life. It was my strength. I have spent my whole life active and in some form of physical activity, from ballet, to sports, to aerobics, to weights, to teaching and training others. I think moving and being physical is the most important activity a human being can do. It not only keeps the body strong, it cleanses the mind, and spirit, keeps your mind active and integrates, the body, mind and spirit. And this accident brought me down.
I would always say if I can have a hot shower and a hair dryer, I can endure anything…well, this was temporarily taken away. I was stripped of my simple pleasures.
I felt beaten up, taken down, alone, destroyed, betrayed, confused, abandoned… but I turned towards God, not away…
I didn’t curse God for letting this occur… I turned towards him to help me heal and for strength…
And that is what we all must do… no matter what the trauma, loss, harm, or betrayal.
And of course, some losses are incredibly worse than others…. so deep and tormenting that it is seemingly unbearable. But God can bear it with you… where Satan will leave you there in torment and take pleasure in your pain.
Remember Job? Everything was taken from him… everything! But he never turned from God and he was restored.
God can heal wounds, all wounds and show you the light, the way, and the strength to endure. There have been many times in my life when without the grace of God, I would not have been able to endure.
Satan knows and focuses on your weaknesses. God knows and focuses on your strengths…
No one really knows why anything happens.. no one can really know. Why was I in that wine bar, at that particular time, and decide to go to the restroom when I did? Why was the floor wet and unmarked? Why does one person live and another die when a storm hits a community? Why is one house left standing while all the others are destroyed around it? Why does a runner have his legs blown off? Why are sweet, innocent children killed in their school room? All the whys can make you crazy in the asking. Sure go ahead and ask as much as you need to…but….
No one can know the reasons, but God. And someday, if you ‘believe’, you will know and understand also. You will have a peace that passes all understanding.
God has the answers… and someday they will be known. Until then.. focus and believe in the goodness of God.
Evil walks this earth. Satan rules here.
We are on this earth, not of it… everything here is temporary.

Evil is here, satans demons and tares are in our wheat field to take over the wheat, IE US ! Like I have said before , those that don’t see it is because satan has blinded them, those of us that do, is because god has blessed to carry on the figth with this evil.
We must not blame God for bad things that happen to good people. He made us with free choice. He’s always there just a prayer away. Everything works together for the good of those that love the Lord, according to His purpose..Rom 8:28. From the bad, something good can come from it, we learn lessons from it, we gain experience whereby we are able to later help and encourage others. When little children die I look at it as God brought them to Heaven early to spare them from some horrific evil and suffering that may have come to them otherwise. If everything were perfect on this earth we would not feel we need God perhaps and we may miss some of the most important lessons and blessings. We all suffer and experience hurt and sadness so we need to share and uphold one another. God gave His only Son that we might have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. For that we should daily thank Him and share the message with the lost.
Yes I can. I’ve felt it for years but it’s accelerating.
Way to go Ayn ! I just hope some folks listen to you and stop blaming our Messiah for what goes on down here in the devil’s only kingdom .
Right James! Satan owns this world and is responsible for the evil that is all around us. He uses people, weather, accidents and all sorts of tragedies to get to us. We are just passing through this evil world on our way to a better place. Jesus was here. He overcame the world. Life here is a dress rehearsal for life after here. Nothing can touch us unless there is approval from God. The reasons we may never know but God knows and we must trust. This is such an imperfect messed up world but satan owns it and he’s the father of lies an father of the evil ones. We must be totally surrendered to God to make it through this world and into the mansion prepared for us in Heaven. Hold on to that promise!
Ayn…post an awesome message here with all of us! She definitely has the Holy Spirit anointing her to preach God’s Word! Your comments hit the mark in my book.
This is excellent, Ayn. Thank you.
I agree!
Great article Ayn!
Spot on with this write-up, I seriously feel this amazing site needs far more attention. I’ll probably be returning to read through more, thanks for the info!
Ann,
I am deeply sorry to hear you are hurt. I will pray for your comfort, and quick healing .
Ayn, very powerful and true expressions about dealing with God’s sovereign plans for our lives; both the good and the bad He gives us. That’s so hard to remember during the bad times. Easy to remember during the good times. Rom 8:28 “And we know that for those who love God, that is, for those who are called according to his purpose, all things are working together for good”. What a wonderful promise!!
Good scripture – I also quoted it above. We must look for some good to come from the bad things that happen.
I think everything is “god in disguise” in a cosmic guessing game of quantum strangeness. All pain and suffering may be just temporary bullshit that our trickster self is playing on itself. And without mercy..just look around you..maybe just a dream but with never-ending heartbreaking stories. I can’t stand watching the godamn news. I can’t reconcile the opposites with something I can pray to. This god is so good it fools itself, and alien to our concept of duality, and is yet, perhaps our true identity. My optimistic side hints this all “ends” in laughter. At least I like to think so. After all..I’m laughing right now. Anyone else think this way?
I think you are one messed up lost being in need of a Savior. Pray for God to lead you into the truth and help you to find the purpose he created you for. Read the 10 Commandments for one…thou shalt not take God’s name in vain..that’s very sad and blasphemy. That calls for serious repentance. May God open your heart and mind and create a new creature out of the mess you’ve fallen into by following evil. He loves you and hurts for your lostness. Jesus help this soul …you shed your blood for him.
Exactly.
This is true and the people of God need to rise up and quick
Dear God Iove these posts. You really are making a difference. Keep it up!
I believe we are past the point of no return. Keep your posts coming. We understand. Others won’t. God has blinded some eyes and opened others. Depends if you walk the walk – not just talk the talk.
