139. AMA: Why Does God Promise to Protect Us, If He Isn't Always Going To?

God doesn’t cause bad things to happen, neither does he allow them to happen. 

 
We may ask ourselves: what if someone close to me dies and they were believing for healing? This happened to me just recently. A good friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer about a year and a half ago. Their family was believing for healing, she was believing for healing but ended up passing away. It seemed like God didn’t heal her. However, what we didn’t know was that my friend had given up fighting. She was tired of fighting when she knew she could be made free in heaven. 

Ask God if there is something that you're missing. He will show you!

Think about Job, why did all of that bad stuff happen to Job? He had allowed fear to control his life, which opened the door to the enemy to be able to work in his life. 

Think about the woman with the issue of blood. She needed a mindset shift in order to receive God's healing. She was in a place where she continually expected bad things to happen. She had to shift that and begin to speak life over herself. 

God is constantly showering blessings down upon you. Picture an umbrella and under that umbrella is all of God’s blessings that He has for you. 

Is there an area of your life keeping you from stepping under that umbrella?  For example, do you need to dig into the Bible concerning a topic, because you really don't know what it says?

Is there someone that is causing you pain and you need to forgive them?

Is there a secret sin that you are struggling with and you haven't told anyone in order to get help to overcome?

Is there pride in some area of your life or vanity? Maybe feeling less about yourself than what God says about you?

Is it doubt that what you are believing for will actually happen?

Ask God to reveal to you if there's something in your life that is holding you back from stepping into those blessings. 

Maybe it’s pride. I don’t know. Ask God to reveal to you your blind spots. Things that maybe you can’t see but are holding you back.
