Why does a good God let bad things happen?

"Setiap pemberian yang baik dan setiap anugerah yang sempurna, datangnya dari atas, diturunkan dari Bapa segala terang; pada-Nya tidak ada perubahan atau bayangan karena pertukaran." (Yakobus 1:17 TB)

Ketika kita mengalami tragedi yang mengerikan, kecewa/marah dengan Tuhan menjadi hal yg umum. Banyak orang bertanya, "Jika Tuhan itu baik, maha kuasa dan penuh cinta bagi kita, kenapa DIA tidak menghentikan hal2 yang menyebabkan rasa sakit & menderita?"

Di sinilah iblis berusaha membangun dinding antara Allah dan orang yang sedang dlm pergumulan atau menderita. Iblis sering mengatakan, "Tuhan itu tidak baik, dan Dia tidak bisa dipercaya." Namun, kita tahu sesuai dengan Firman Tuhan, setan bukanlah kebenaran, ia adalah pendusta dan bapa segala dusta.

Semua yg baik datang dari Allah BAPA (Yakobus 1:17). Dia tidak berubah. Dia baik, dan itulah cara Dia.

Sudah jelas bahwa Tuhan tidak selalu menghentikan tragedi, dan kita tidak selalu tahu mengapa hal buruk terjadi. 1 Korintus 13:12 mengatakan, "... Sekarang aku tahu sebagian (tidak sempurna) ...." Kita harus ingat bahwa iman akan selalu kita butuhkan untuk menerima pertanyaan yang belum terjawab, dan kita harus datang ke tempat di mana kita dapat perlindungan, ketenangan dan kepercayaan kita kepada-NYA walau tragedi tetap terjadi dalam hidup kita. KIta tetap berharap kemenangan dari pada-NYA.

Tuhan Yesus memberkati.

Now more than ever before we need to press into hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is saying today. We need to know Him. This manual will help you in your journey of intimacy with the Lord and bring you to greater understanding of the commands in Scripture to encourage one another. I often will say as I instruct ones in the prophetic that all of the gifts of the Spirit flow through the prophetic. Being a prophetic person is one who is able to hear from God. We all hear from God to a certain extent. The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and they knew what to do. Having understanding of the times is equal to having words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and discernment flowing through you. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of wisdom. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of knowledge. If we can hear God's voice we can have discernment. If we can hear God's voice we can have faith to declare those things that are not as though they are. If we can hear God's voice then all of the Gifts of the Spirit will flow through us. More than ever before we need to understand that in the last days, as prophesied by Joel and repeated by Peter, there will be widespread revelations from God. We will not receive revelations from God if we do not hear His voice. God speaks in a variety of ways. The most basic avenues God speaks to us are through the Bible, prayer, people, nature, dreams, and an inner sense of knowing something. Certainly and most definitely we have entered such an occasion. God is speaking today. It behooves all believers to embark on this most exciting journey of learning to hear God?s voice in as many possible ways as God is speaking.
