Many Christian's ask the question, why does God allow suffering? I know there was a time
when I asked the same thing. I couldn't understand why a God whom I wanted to dedicate my life to
was allowing me to suffer through trials and tribulations, unanswered prayer, and the like.
Suffering comes in many forms. People get knocked down with sickness and diseases all the time.
Some are chronic sicknesses and many have unknown sickness. But, suffering doesn't have to be with sickness or disease.
Some suffer in different ways, such as with circumstances in their lives. So, why do people suffer?
I went through ten long years of struggling after being born again and
Baptized with the Holy Spirit. I struggled because prayers were going unanswered, my finances were a
mess. My problem was, I didn't know or understand God!
When I read scriptures such as Matthew 7:7, which reads,
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door
will be opened to you." or Malachi 3:10, which reads,
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.
Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven
and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."
I didn't understand! Why wasn't it working in my life? Was God lying to me? Some even use this as proof that
there is no God. If God were real, they would say, "why does He say this in the Bible, yet we still
suffer?"
Well, I'm here to tell you that I have found the truth, and it has set me FREE!
Just as Jesus said it would. I can tell you that God does NOT allow the suffering and He truly does
want you to have all that He promises in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know
the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future."
If you apply the principles that I have found, or should I say, that God has opened
my eyes to see; you will find God's promises to be real and true. The transformation may take some time,
depending upon circumstances in your life and how well you clean out of your life all of the clutter,
garbage, and all the worldly habits that have accumulated over your lifetime, but it will happen if you
are persistent.
I have written a study based on my experience and success in finding the truth
about this very question, 'Does God allow suffering?' If you would like to break those chains of
