God 101 (rewritten with the help of deep seek)

 

Our God, the one and only God, is almighty and all-knowing. As the all-knowing God, nothing in the past, present, or future is hidden from Him. He does not need to exist simultaneously in the present and future to know what will happen; He simply knows it with perfect certainty. The only complexity in this divine knowledge is our free will, which God grants us, just as He Himself possesses the freedom to love holiness and hate sin. Yet, even with our free will, God can foresee all possible futures and predict the outcomes of our choices. To ensure that the future He desires comes to pass, God works tirelessly, day and night. Much of heaven’s work revolves around shaping the future God prefers, accounting for our freedom to choose between right and wrong.

In this process, God sees into the minds and thoughts of every human and devil as clearly as one sees through transparent glass. He perceives their intentions even before they fully form. No force of darkness is hidden from Him; nothing lies beyond His sight, control, or prediction. If there were any such force, God would not be truly almighty or all-knowing. The very essence of these titles demands that He is without limits.

If the devil’s kingdom or power were beyond God’s control, it would imply a limitation to God’s authority. But in reality, the devil can only act because God permits it. Whether the devil speaks, walks, or even kills, it is because God allows it. If a bird falls or a flower blooms, it is by God’s will. Nothing is hidden from Him, and nothing is beyond His reach or authority.

This is why God discourages His people from obsessing over “conspiracy theories” that exaggerate the devil’s power or the influence of evil forces. The devil is weak and worthless, yet he seeks to amplify his image to deceive and trap people. It is a strategy of war: appearing strong when weak and weak when strong. The devil wants people to fear him, driving them into his snares. In contrast, God, who is truly almighty, often conceals His power to expose the devil’s schemes and reveal evil for what it is—sinful, destructive, and opposed to God’s holiness.

God does not want His children to be consumed by analyzing the devil’s supposed conspiracies. Instead, He calls us to draw near to Him, to fear, respect, obey, and love Him. In doing so, He becomes our refuge against all adversity, including the forces of darkness. Just as parents protect their children from the evils of the world, God watches over us until we mature in faith. Yet, compared to His infinite wisdom and knowledge, we will never truly “grow up” in His eyes. We are forever His children, living under His care and guidance. The Bible reminds us:

“Do not call conspiracy everything that people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, He is the one you are to fear, He is the one you are to dread…” (Isaiah 8:11-13).

The battle between good and evil is not fought with swords or gadgets. Angel Michael, for example, does not engage in physical combat with the devil. Instead, by the authority of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, Michael can cast all demons into hell with a single word of faith. The true battle is one of hearts and minds. Devils work through people, organizing them toward destruction, while God’s angels execute His perfect plans. Lucifer, though a leader among demons, is no match for the strategic brilliance of Angel Michael, who is guided and empowered by God in every moment.

Devils operate chaotically, with poor communication and coordination, yet they are relentless in their pursuit of evil. They exploit every weakness in human thinking to plant sin and lead people astray. In truth, God’s battle is not against the devil but against our ignorance. The devil exists to reveal the contrast between light and darkness, so we may choose God over sin. Yet, even after being born again, many of us remain foolish, failing to grow in wisdom and maturity. We live carelessly, exposing ourselves to the devil’s attacks, rather than walking in the light of God’s truth.

Consider how political and social movements are driven by dedicated individuals who sacrifice everything for their cause. They organize, strategize, and work tirelessly to advance their ideologies, often enduring great suffering. Yet, we, who possess the ultimate truth and the promise of eternal life, often lack the same dedication. We are distracted by worldly pursuits, neglecting the spiritual discipline required to stand firm against the devil’s schemes.

The devil is cunning, knowing when to advance and when to retreat. He has perfected his tactics over millennia, but his strategies are predictable and limited. God, in His wisdom, allows the devil to play his games, exposing his weaknesses and rendering him ineffective. Meanwhile, God trains us through life’s challenges, teaching us to reject the devil’s lies and embrace His truth.

The ultimate goal is to deny ourselves, renounce our sinful ways, and be reborn in the image of Jesus Christ, the perfect expression of God’s nature. The wise measure carefully before acting, while fools act recklessly. But Jesus, in His perfection, acts with flawless precision. The challenge lies in recognizing our own foolishness and surrendering to God’s wisdom. Those who are wise in their own eyes often resist God, while the humble and broken-hearted readily accept His guidance.

God chooses the weak, the poor, and the downtrodden, for they are more likely to rely on Him rather than their own strength. He prefers a teachable heart over one hardened by pride. This is why He often bypasses the “wise” of this world, who trust in their own understanding, and instead lifts up those who acknowledge their need for Him.

God is the source of all wisdom, and He desires students who are willing to learn and grow. Angel Michael, for all his strength and brilliance, remains submissive to God, recognizing that his gifts come from the Almighty. Similarly, we must worship and obey God, not ourselves. The end of all wisdom is to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to trust Him even when our faith is tested.

As believers, we must live wisely, aware that we are like sheep among wolves. We must remain under God’s protection, avoiding unnecessary exposure to the devil’s attacks. Like the serpent, we should be shrewd, and like the dove, we should embody the purity of the Holy Spirit. The devil is relentless, but God’s power is infinitely greater. Our ignorance is the devil’s greatest weapon, and our growth in wisdom is God’s greatest defense.

Let us not be distracted by the devil’s schemes or the world’s empty ideologies. Instead, let us focus on God, living lives of wisdom, dedication, and faith. The devil’s time is short, and his power is limited. But God’s kingdom is eternal, and His truth will prevail. Let us be diligent in our walk with Him, shining His light in a dark world and standing firm against the enemy’s lies.
