 GOD Uses Evil?

In 1 Samuel 16, GOD removed His SPIRIT from King Saul and gave it to David, whom Samuel had just anointed to be king, then He gave an evil spirit to Saul.

“So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. From that day on The SPIRIT of The LORD came mightily upon David. Then Samuel rose up and went to Ramah. Now The SPIRIT of The LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from The LORD terrified him…It came to pass, whenever, the spirit from GOD came upon Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand. So Saul would find relief and feel better, as the evil spirit departed from him.” (16:13-14, 23) (Study 16:13-23)

In 2 Chronicles 18, GOD used one of His spirits to deceive over 400 prophets of Israel. “Micaiah continued, ‘Therefore hear The Word of The LORD. I saw The LORD sitting on His Throne with the whole Host of Heaven standing on His right and on His left. And The LORD said: “Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?” Then one said this and another said that, until a spirit came forward and stood before The LORD and said, “I will entice him.” So The LORD said to Him, “How?” He answered, “I will go and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.” Then He said, “You will entice him and you will succeed. Go and do so.”’” (18:18-21) GOD used one of His Heavenly Host to deceive Israel’s prophets. (Study 2 Chronicles 18)

GOD’s Will will always be done! He uses everything and everyone available to accomplish His Will, because He is The Creator of everything that exists, and nothing and no one can resist His Will.

GOD used Noah to save the human race from extinction during the flood, Genesis chapters 6-10.

GOD used Joseph to save Jacob’s family, Egypt and all the nations that were affected by the 7 year drought. Genesis chapters 37, 39-47

GOD used Pharaoh to show His Power to the nations. Exodus chapters 9-11 (He hardened Pharaoh’s heart) Romans 9:17

GOD used Moses and Aaron to bring the children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt. Exodus chapters 1-13

GOD used many men and women to deliver the children of Israel after He used their enemies to persecute them to repentance.Judges

GOD used Nebuchadnezzar to punish the Israelites for not honoring the Sabbath. 2 Kings chapters 24-25; 2 Chronicles 36; Jeremiah 25:7-14

GOD used religious and political leaders to crucify JESUS. John chapters 18-19

GOD used JESUS to bring Salvation to all who will receive it. John 3:16-17

GOD used Saul of Tarsus to write most of The New Testament. Romans through Hebrews

GOD will use those who are willing and those who do not even know He is using them to accomplish His Will. Are you willing to be used by GOD, no matter the cost to you? The Bible

Is JESUS GOD?

Is JESUS GOD?

The question was posed to me, "Did JESUS ever say He was GOD?" The quick answer is Yes! 

In the book of John in The Bible, JESUS is declared as GOD and calls Himself GOD! 

 

Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And The SPIRIT of GOD was hovering over the face of the waters." 

John 1 :1-4, 14 "In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with GOD, and The Word was GOD. He was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men…And The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory, the Glory of The Only Begotten of The Father, full of Grace and Truth." 

Here we see "the beginning" described in detail in Genesis 1 and John 1; we have GOD (Elohim) who is One GOD and yet He is The Father, The Son and The Spirit. JESUS is The Word Who became flesh. JESUS is clearly called GOD, He is The Word Who became flesh Who is GOD; His birth was prophesied hundreds of years before His birth and His birth and genealogy are fully documented in the Bible; His birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension to Heaven are recorded by those who knew him in the flesh and as GOD; Paul who had a personal encounter with JESUS a decade or so after His ascension to Heaven said that JESUS is the Fulness of The GOD Head (Father, Son, Spirit), in Colossians 2:9. (Study Isaiah 7:10-17; Matthew 1; Luke 1, 2; Colossians 2:6-10) 

 

But that is not JESUS saying He is GOD! 

John 5:18 "Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that GOD was His Father, making Himself equal with GOD." While JESUS did not say "I am GOD" the Jewish religious leaders understood the point He was making, that He is GOD. In John 10:30 JESUS made that statement more clearly, "I and My Father are One." (Study John 5:16-23; 10:22-30). 

 

In John 6:35 JESUS says, "I am The Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." Only GOD can do that. (Study John 6:22-40). 

 

But in John 8:58 JESUS does say that He is GOD, "JESUS said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.'" This is the same Name that GOD gave for Himself to Moses in Exodus 3:13-15, "Then Moses said to GOD, 'Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, "The GOD of your fathers has sent me to you," and they say to me, "What is His Name?" what shall I say to them?' And GOD said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' And He said, 'Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me.' Moreover GOD said to Moses, 'Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: "The LORD GOD of your fathers, The GOD of Abraham, The GOD of Isaac, and The GOD of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My Memorial to all generations."'" (Study Exodus 3:7-15; John 8:48-59). JESUS is clearly saying I AM GOD.
