Revolt

 “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us?" Judges 6.13

In the darkest hours, a cry cannot be silenced: if the Lord is with me, why  is there so much suffering? I believe that He allows it so that we react with the revolt of faith. Gideon was not a saint or a religious person, but he was chosen to lead his people to freedom because of the holy revolt he had against that situation. And this is the faith that makes a difference.

The secret to happiness

"But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does." James 1.25

It is impossible to walk in sin and be free. The spirit of sin has trapped its victims so that they cannot understand the reason for so much unhappiness.
Disorder, indiscipline and rebellion are elements of injustice that have prevented freedom. Freedom of life, of conscience... Consequently, even with the world at their feet, yet the slave of sin is unhappy.
That is why God, in creating man, also established righteous laws that, once practiced, leads to a life of freedom, peace within yourself and especially with God.

Kicks

“But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese! Then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation." Deuteronomy 32.15

Kicks are a form of self-defense of horses, donkeys and large quadrupeds. But the kick in this context refers to the ungrateful, to those who have been freed from their dungeons, but then turned away ...
Many came to the UCKG one day in critical condition. And after being freed from their ailments, they turned their backs and joined the persecutors of the Universal Church.

Your choice

 ^"See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil." Deuteronomy 30.15

Because of free will given to men, God can not make his choices. This responsibility is purely his. But if he wants to live well and to ensure the salvation of his soul, he must heed the Divine advice and practice it. Otherwise, he will live poorly and ensure eternal damnation.

Rescued

"Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; incline Your ear to me, and save me." Psalm 71:2

Not all afflicted are humble in spirit. But when they manifest their dependence on the Lord Jesus, their cry reach the Throne of the Most High and there is salvation. The justice of the Lord, sooner or later will be manifested in the life of those who call upon Him in sincerity.

Oh!

“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries." Psalm 81:13,14

God's will is that His people are free from their enemies, that He may have fed them also with the finest of wheat and with honey from the rock satisfy you (v. 16) But in order to listen and obey Him, you need to sacrifice. Sacrifice your flesh.

Sharper

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

Those who come before God with their entire heart give His Spirit freedom to work His Promises in his whole life.

Friend

"Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."

James 4:4

God gave us the freedom of choice: Him or the world. The option is ours. Who are you friends with?
