Дали всичко е под Божия контрол – контрол върху какво?

Дали всичко е под Божия контрол – контрол върху какво?

Наскоро един човек в онлайн форум ме попита:

“Бихте ли заявили пред всяка аудитория – след всичките конфликти и раздори, както и след фокусирането на църквата върху есхатологичната параноя – че „всичко е под Божия контрол“?

В отговор някои членове на форума се заеха с въпроса дали „всичко е под Божия контрол“ – и как да предложат такава идея на човек, който е жертва на престъпление или на някакъв вид експлоатация? Чувайки, че „всичко е под Божия контрол“, след като са били изнасилени или са преживели друго посегателство, някои жертви са отхвърлили Бога.

И така, всичко ли е под Божия контрол? И ако да, под какъв контрол?

Ключът към разбирането на израза „всичко е под Божия контрол“, както и по същество към всички теологични въпроси, е как човек разбира Божия закон.Ако го възприемаме като функциониращ подобно на законите, измисляни от хората – а именно като наложени правила, изискващи управляващата власт да налага наказания – тогава бихме гледали на Бога като на причината за всичко случващо се. И това, от своя страна, неминуемо би ни карало да формираме погрешна теология.Резултатът са различните грешки, като например учението, че когато се случват трагедии, Бог е Този, Който причинява болката – сякаш Той управлява изнасилвача. Или пък, че Бог причинява ураганите, земетресенията, или пък, че “закоравява“ сърцата на определени хора.

Други отхвърлят идеята за наказващия Бог, но не и идеята, че законите Му са като човешките – наложени закони. Такова мислене възприема и насърчава универсализма.Т.е., че понеже Бог е любов, иска всички да бъдат спасени; и понеже всичко е под Неговия контрол, всички хора ще бъдат спасени.Подобно на предишната, и тази грешка произтича от лъжата, че Бог налага Своята суверенна воля, за да поддържа „справедливост” във владенията Си, като налага собствените Си закони.

Човешкото ниво на духовна зрялост – нивото, при което човек различава правилно от погрешно – играе роля в това.Вижте статията заседемте нива на морално развитиеза по-пълно обяснение на тези различни нива.Накратко, нивата от едно до четири говорят за незрелост;във всяко от тях правилното и погрешното по някакъв начин се определя от изпълнението; и човекът търси сигурност в спазването на правила от всякакъв вид.Хората, които функционират на едно от тези нива, намират безопасност във вярата, че Бог контролира всичко. Ето защо те не се страхуват от проблеми, стига да следват „правилните правила“.Но това в никакъв случай не е разумен подход, тъй като човешката история е пълна с лоши неща, случващи се на добри хора. А книгата „Йов“ изрично дава яснота, че подобни лоши неща не са Божие дело.

Реалността на Божия контрол

Истината се осъзнава, когато приемем, че Бог е Създател и Неговите закони са принципите, върху които е изградена действителността – също както законите на физиката, законът на любовта, истината, поклонението, свободата, законите за здравето, моралните закони и много други.Това е начинът, по който работи реалността.

В такъв смисъл всичко е под Божия контрол – Бог контролира Себе Си и всичките Си закони.Той поддържа реалността,поддържа Вселената работеща съобразно с принципите и законите, които е установил.И един от тези закони е законът на свободата – този, който дава истинска свобода на живите създания.Защо?Защото любовта може да съществува само в атмосфера на свобода.

Да видим в такъв случай как Бог „закоравява сърцето“ на фараона (Изход 4:21; 7:3; 8:15, 32).Като представя истината и оставя фараона свободен дали да я приеме, или да я отхвърли.Приемането или отхвърлянето води до крайния резултат – изцеление или закоравяване.Актът за избор на приемане или отхвърляне на истината –да прегърнем любовта или пък егоизма;да крадем, да лъжем, да изневеряваме или да бъдем честни, правдиви и лоялни – това променя самия човек, който прави избора.Без представената истина и без свободата да я отхвърли, сърцето на фараона не би станало толкова „закоравено“.Ето така Бог „закоравява сърцето на фараона“ – чрез законите на истината и свободата.Представя пред него истината и оставя владетеля свободен да избере.Ето как работи реалността и как всичко е под Божия контрол.

Така че следващия път, когато чуете „всичко е под Божия контрол“, помислете: „Контрол над какво?“. И не забравяйте, че Бог контролира Себе Си и законите, върху които е изградена нашата действителност.Това означава, че имаме истинска свобода, защото само в такава свобода може да съществува любовта.Ако Бог направи всички ни роботи, бихме се държали перфектно, но нямаше да има любов.Бог печели Своята кауза само като използва методите Си – истина, любов и свобода.Ето защо Библията заявява: „Не чрез сила, нито чрез мощ, но чрез Духа Ми – казва Господ“ (Захария 4:6).

Можете да се доверите на Бог да очисти света от страх, егоизъм, грях, болести, болка, страдание и смърт и да го върне към съвършенството и вечната сигурност.Той постига това чрез практикуване на истината, любовта и свободата.Бог контролира Себе Си и Своите закони (включително закона за свободата) и това означава, че Той никога няма да ни контролира.Ето защо последният плод на Духа, когато Духът завършва лечебната Си работа в нашия живот, е „самоконтрол“ (Галатяни 5:23).Бог ни освобождава напълно да управляваме и контролираме себе си, защото Той е възстановил закона Си в нашите сърца и умове и ние отново сме в хармония със законите, върху които е изградена да функционира нашата реалност.

Каня ви да се посветите на нашия Създател – не да станете марионетка, която Той контролира, а да станете човек, когото Той лекува и освобождава, за да живеете в хармония с Неговата същност, която е ЛЮБОВ!

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Testimony 75

Thank you so much for everything you do! Because of all these truths, I’m excited to be with Jesus! I always pray everyday, “COME TODAY, JESUS.” Before finding C&R, I was always praying for delays, “NOT TODAY OH GOD. I AM NOT READY.” I just need to share more, talk more bout this truth, so everybody will be excited for Jesus.

J C Shin

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Jeff D., Reading, MA, USA

 

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Rachael H.

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”
