Who Really Is To Blame

Who is Really Behind all Your Troubles

Who really is behind all your problems in life. Many believe that God is the one who causes things to go wrong. Others believe that although God did not make the problem he certainly knew about it and he should have put a stop to it, but because he did not, it had to be okay by him.

Psalms 46:1-3,  1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.

 1  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;  3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

How is it that a God who is a help in a time of trouble could possibly be the same one that causes the trouble. Wouldn’t that mean He would be of two minds. Which of course is impossible with God.

The verse says that He is our refuge, this means that He is our escape, haven, resort, retreat, sanctuary and shelter. Which is exactly what one would seek in the midst of trouble, not the source of the trouble.

Notice too, the word “selah” this word means, stop, wait a moment and contemplate, view the trouble from all points of view. Get a clear picture on the situation before making any kind of decision.

Back in verse 1 the next word we need to examine is the word strength, He is our energy, courage, fortitude, effectiveness, concentration, foundation, and our ability.

“A very present help” always near, why? To enforce His word against the trouble that you are in. But from where will His word proceed, from your mouth of course. If you speak out that God has done this trouble to you then how is He going to solve it. For then you will be siding with the one responsible for your problem, Satan.

“Therefore we will not fear”, we are not alone in this problem. God is with us leading and guiding us, what can cause us to fear in the very presence of God? Nothing, Romans 8:37-39 sums it up in another way. We win.

Romans 8:37-39

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So then if it is not God who is responsible for all the problems that we face on the earth today, and if is not God who allows them, then who? The word of God declares the trouble maker to be Satan, the god of this world system.

The word Satan means, adversary, opponent, the hater, accuser, one who resists, obstructs and hinders anything that is good.

Satan’s ability to work within an individual lies in the reception of that person in allowing him to do any of thing which would hinder their walk with God.

Many people become the instrument by which satan can perform his evil work, but he is the convict, the law breaker the one who fell and can never be redeemed.

We must understand that there is a difference between an instrument and a culprit.

Mark 8:31-33 Peter was the instrument, satan the culprit.

Luke 13:10-17, Satan had bound this daughter of Abraham 18 years.

John 6:70, Judas was an apostle with all the power and abilities of the apostle (Matthew 10:1) yet Satan could take him.

Acts 5:1-11 Ananias & Sapphira spirit filled members of the first church, yet lost their lives because they became instruments of the devil. In some cases it is not enough to just blame the devil, we need to own up to our own involvement with him so that we might get free.

2 Corinthians 12:7 A messenger of Satan sent to cause Paul trouble.

1 Timothy 5:9-15 Women who were turn aside after satan, called silly.

1 John 3:8, If you commit sin you are being used as an instrument of the devil.

WHEN YOU BEGIN TO BLAME SATAN FOR YOUR PROBLEMS THEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.

BUT WHY

 But why all the problems, the answer is simply jealousy, Satan is jealous of man for God has given to man what was once Satan=s.

Ezekiel 28:11-19: (Lamas Translation ) Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God: You were the seal of wisdom and the crown of beauty. You have been in Eden, the Garden of God; you were decked with every precious stone, the sardius, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire and pearls; and have filled your treasuries with gold and your chests with precious stones; you had all these things from the day you were created. You were with the anointed cherub that shelters; and I have set you on the holy mountain of God; and you were safe in the midst of the stones of fire. You were prefect in your ways from the day that you were created till iniquity was found in you. By the multitude of your merchandise you have filled your land with iniquity and you have sinned therefore I will cast you from the mountain of God; and I will destroy you, O sheltering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Since your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, now your wisdom and your beauty are corrupted; I will cast you to the ground before kings, that you may be a spectacle before them. By the multitude of your frauds, and by the iniquity of your traffic, you have defiled your sanctuary; therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of you, and it shall devour you, and I will reduce you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those who see you. All who know you among the people shall be astonished at you; you shall be brought to destruction and you never shall be any more.

As Satan twisted his purpose he also twisted the reason he was created, from sheltering to bring destruction. As with all fallen being they cannot lose their nature or what the purpose was for their creation. If the being was created for worship then a fallen being will be one of twisted worship. Instead of worshipping God they will induce worship to anything that is not of God thus forcing idolatry upon their victim. If the fallen being was one created for protection then their purpose becomes twisted and they seek to harm. If the fallen being was originally created to serve and give their twisted thinking is now that of taking and stealing.

The entire battles continues to blaze over the anointing. For as  the verse describes the entire purpose of the anointing is to shelter, shelter you from all the problems and situations of life. The anointing was the reason for Jesus to come and bring back the anointing to man.

Luke 4:18-19

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

The anointing releases you from all your troubles and come to bring you into life, not just the get by kind of life, but the ZOE life of God. The God kind of Life. All burdens and yoke are destroyed and you walk into victory. 

Isaiah 10:27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. 

John 8:30-32,

30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

It is not the truth that makes you free, it is the truth that you know that will make you free. So go to the light of the world and use His words and come to know them then you truly will be free.

You have the power to render the trouble that Satan brings in your life powerless.

Luke 10:19 

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. speak the word and Satan must obey.

It is the speaking and living in the Word that God uses to bring you into victory.

Mark 16:15-20

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

It is always the word that the Lord will work with and confirm  or establish. If you speak the word in faith He will work with that word for if gives Him something to base the desire answer upon. It is His base to build thereon. Then once He has build the solution He establishes that as the indisputable fact in your  life. What He says is the final word the ever needs to be spoken over it from that point forward.

Our worries are over when we come to belive and place our dependence in God that He will do as His Word declares, His Word says:

He will rebuke the devourer on our behalf when we tithe: Malachi 3:11

 He will crush satan under our feet. Romans 16:20

 He will hold the devil in chain 1000 years. Revelation 20:2 c/f Isaiah 24:21

 He will forever destroy all the work and influence the enemy  has. Revelation 20:7-10

 We maintain the power through the Blood, the name of Jesus to continue to defeat the enemy

Matthew 10:8  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give

 Mark 6:13  And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
