The Sacred Cow of Sovereignty The biggest roadblock to the power of the gospel is the disastrous concept of the sovereignty of God. The misunderstanding of s...overeignty and the teachings that have come forth in this regard have paralyzed much of the church and substituted fatalism for faith. When the nature of God is described as mysterious, controlling and directly or indirectly involved in human suffering, there remains no basis for true faith. Faith must then be redefined as resignation. Resignation decides that since God is in control, there must be a divine purpose in human tragedy and we must learn to let the mysterious ways of God play out. That fatalism is then packaged as faith. There can be no true faith if the nature of God is mysterious. There can be no true faith if God might be the source of sickness or tragedy. How can one believe God for healing if healing might not be His will? How can one ever know what they can believe for? They can’t. Every unanswered prayer and promise are thrown in to the if it be Thy will box and forgotten. The only thing that pleases God has become impossible for the sovereignty Christian. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Heb. 11:6) This verse is almost nonsensical to those who live by fate. God is a rewarder? Not for the fatalist. For them, God is the master puppeteer controlling the devil, controlling evil, controlling sickness, sex trafficking, drug use, spousal abuse, child abuse, murder and so much more. The term God is in control makes God the greatest criminal in history, and yet, we are to have faith that He is doing this for our own good. Can you not see the hypocrisy of this position? God decreed that civil government exists as a terror to evil works which bears the swordto execute wrath upon him who practices evil (See Romans 13:1-7). And yet in the theology of sovereignty it is God Himself who is responsible for evil! He is at odds with Himself and that which He has decreed and established. Why would civil government be ordained to fight the very thing that God is allowing or controlling? Until we understand that God gave the earth to man (Ps. 115:16, Ps. 8:3-6), and that only through victorious, faith-filled Christians can His will for our lives be accomplished, we will continue to let the powers of darkness run rampant and then lay the responsibility at God’s feet.

God moves in stages of unfoldment one step at a time, first the blade, then the shoot, then the full corn in the ear...Mark 4:28 - Monica Hernandez.
