 Submit yourselves therefore to God . Resist the Devil , and he will flee from you.</i>

<p>
 God is Sovereign .
<p>
Does God control everything that happens in the earth?
<p>
If so, there is no Will or Choice and everything happens just as God dictates.
<p>
If not, who does control what happens in the earth?
<p>
 God gave man Dominion over the earth. <br>He has entrusted us with its administration. Genesis 1:26 
<p>
Our Choices determine the future for ourselves and Humanity . Deuteronomy 30:15 
<p>
When we Choose Christ Jesus we Choose Life and experience the Wonderful Blessings of being a Child of God . 
<p>
When a person rejects Christ Jesus they Choose Death . Death plays out in Need , in Guilt , in Sorrow and Suffering .
<p>
When man chose to pursue Life apart from God he was actually choosing Death . God told Adam and Eve that in the day they ate of the forbidden Fruit they would Die . Though they did not Die Physically , they Died Spiritually . Genesis 2:17 
<p>
Everything that is Evil in this world proceeds from the Choice to pursue Life apart from God . Genesis 3:14-19 
<p>
 God does not have to Kill . He simply removes His Life and Death occurs. 
<p>
 Christ Jesus has made it possible for Healing to Manifest . <br>However, man is still Sovereign over his own Choices and, in concert, the earth. Mark 11:24 
<p>
When a person comes to Christ Jesus they are Healed . 
<p>
When a person pushes Christ away, they remain under the Power of Sin which produces Death . Acts 4:12 
<p>
So, God is not causing the terrible things to happen in this earth. It is man. Romans 1:28 
<p>
We cannot Choose the consequences of our choices . Ezekiel 18:4 
<p>
 Jesus came that we Might have Life and have it Abundantly . John 10:10 
<p>
 Jesus has made us Sons of God . 1 Jhn 3:2 
<p>
 Jesus has given us His HolySpirit . John 20:22 
<p>
 Through the HolySpirit we have Power . Acts 1:8 
<p>
Our station in Christ should Manifest in Boldness . Acts 4:13 
<p>
We are to establish the Kingdom of God here on earth by His Power ( HolySpirit ) according to His Word through Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ .
