He said that God is not in control. He is in fact sovereign but that does not mean He is in control of every situation. When a little girl gets raped and killed was God in control of that? <BR/><BR/>The earth was made for man to rule and reign and at the fall we lost our authority over it. Now that Jesus has taken those keys back from Satan and has given them to the Church we have the ability and command to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God in all the earth. I would like to submit the idea that the Church has fallen from its God intended place of authority and because of that the kingdom of darkness has been allowed to continue it's business in the earth. But people all over the world are waking up out of religious slumber with the revelation of the kingdom of God is at hand. <BR/><BR/>Or in a nutshell: God is good, the devil is bad. :)Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521247240549838430noreply@blogger.com
