Weakness of God (edited with ChatGPT)

 

Defeating the devil and world powers has never been an issue for God. In fact, God had to harden Pharaoh’s heart so he could resist God, allowing God’s glory to be revealed in Egypt’s downfall. Governments rise by God’s allowance, and once they have a stronghold, He orchestrates their downfall.

 

Nothing is impossible for God; there is no power mightier, wiser, or more competent against Him. No plan, scheme, or strategy can stand against God. Yet, God has a weakness—He loves us. He cannot destroy us because He loves us, yet He cannot embrace us if we embrace idolatry, even when we identify as faithful. Therefore, the real war of God is not against the devil but against our disobedient hearts. It is within our hearts and minds that the devil hides, leading us astray from the road of salvation.

 

That is why taking His people out of Egypt was as easy as taking candy from a baby, but taking Egypt out of His people was a struggle even for God. The devil works to preserve Egypt in people’s hearts. As God pushes them toward the road of salvation, known as the Lord Jesus Christ, the army of darkness pushes them back toward Egypt. The Red Sea is split, water flows from dry rock, bitter water turns sweet, strong enemies are destroyed effortlessly, and manna is provided for their sustenance. Yet, instead of saying, “What a God,” the fools grumble, “Where is the garlic?” and “Where is the onion?” They were respected for the sake of their fathers, but respect is not fit for a fool. The rod of God is what is appropriate for them.

 

The war of heaven is, therefore, a war of the heart and mind. The devil’s hope is not just to keep people in sin and rebellion against God but also to destabilize heaven itself. Imagine God raising generation after generation, only for them to go astray one after another. The devil hopes not only to paralyze God with this but also to shake the faith of God’s army in Him. This is the true war between heaven and hell, and we are in the middle of it.

 

The devil’s tactic is to propagate evil and rebrand it as good. First, people become accustomed to evil due to weak faith; then, the evil itself is promoted as righteousness. Look at the West, where sin is proclaimed as holy. The devil starts by leading people into infidelity. As infidelity spreads, he justifies it as natural. At first, a few worship idols; then, as idolatry becomes dominant, it is promoted as superior to God’s worship. Pigs first associate themselves with the faithless, and eventually, they create a theology to explain how the faithless are also faithful.

 

It is like *Animal Farm*—a revolt begins to free animals from human slavery, but in the end, the pigs aspire to imitate human slave owners and become their trade partners. Is it any wonder that protests against religion did not end in faith replacing religion, but rather in the rise of worthless pigs who seek to rebuild the old religion, forging alliances between the kings of Jerusalem and Samaria? What unity do the children of God have with idol worshipers? Yet, pigs crave the wine of respect and honor at the table of the unfaithful, willing to sell the faith for it. Yes, we should live in peace with everyone, but God does not speak about this kind of peace.

 

In this process, the devil has a tactical advantage, playing with foolish people who follow their sentiments. In this age, where freedom is declared as everything, people become slaves to their baseless emotions and, indirectly, servants of the devil. As ethics, morality, duty, culture, tradition, religion, and faith lose their restraining power, people not only break free from oppressive institutions but also fall under the tyranny of their own directionless desires. At this point, they become highly susceptible to the devil’s control. This is why cultural crises are always followed by a rise in sin.

 

Standing on this foundation, the devil stirs up winds and hurricanes, but God has the strategic advantage—He directs these storms toward His purpose. That is why God can say that the devil rules this world while simultaneously declaring that He, God, rules the world. While the devil plays tactical checkers, God plays strategic chess. This is why evil flourishes for a time but never lasts. While the devil openly organizes sin, God works behind the scenes to checkmate him into the depths of hell. To give an example, the Roman emperors who persecuted the faithful never lasted more than a few years because God is at work.

 

In this battle, we are the problem for God. We are His weak point. We are part of Him, yet we want to be independent, following our gut, passion, desire, and earthly ambitions—power, money, and respect. God continually tries to save us by healing us. But if we become a dangerous cancer in His body, He will cut us off. Read the message to the Seven Churches—God judges in this life and the afterlife.

 

When the prophets called people to obedience, the world organized itself against them. When Jesus preached His ways, the world was ready to kill Him. When His disciples followed in His footsteps, the world tortured, imprisoned, and executed them. These events happened quickly, but what took time was the people recognizing the prophets, the dominance of Jesus on earth, and the establishment of God’s assemblies by His disciples.

 

The devil plays checkers, fast and deceptive, while God plays careful and strategic chess. In this process, we are the weak link—dull and clueless compared to the devil. The devil is losing the war, but he is dragging as many of us as he can to hell to share his misfortune. And God, in His patience, is working to save as many as possible. This is the real war of light and darkness. We are the battlefield.

 

Now, what kind of Simon does God need on this earth? God has carried our cross for ages, and He is weary, dear ones. What He needs are people who will take the cross from His shoulders and help Him. Children of grace, you must grow up. After years of crying for candy and comfort, can you not believe that man must help God? It is because you are still in spiritual diapers. He needs people fully focused on expanding the Kingdom of Heaven, growing disciples into the image of the Lord. He does not need pigs who brand their personal preferences as the will of God.

 

If you want to hasten the Second Coming of the Lord, go and save souls from the slaughterhouse. Then, establish them in the Kingdom of God by growing them into the image of the Lord. As you focus on heaven’s goals, humanity, the devil, and earthly thorns will rise against you, mobilized by the enemy. But you will soon see the difference between God and the devil. Evil will flourish before your eyes, but in time, it will vanish without a trace because Jesus is alive, ruling this earth with a rod of iron.

Our concern is not which pig leads the lost faithful in the wilderness for 40 years. Our concern is who will march us into the Promised Land. Our focus is not which clan leader has power and resources in the wilderness—that is just mud and water for pigs to play in. It is a pig’s business, not a child of God’s concern. The problem of the children of promise is finding the Promised Land by focusing on the road of salvation that leads to the Heavenly Father. That road is Jesus.
