Why all my pain and sorrow, my sickness and worries?

January 22, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

…why all my pain and sorrow, sickness and suffering, depressed feelings and worries?  It’s from the Fall of Man.



The Fall of Man, falling away from God and into sin, is recorded in Genesis 3.  We live to see the effects all the way throughout history, all the way into our own times – and all the way deeply into our soul, into our body, into our mind.

God created all that exists.  And He made it good.  He also created living autonomous creations, each with an independent spirit, a distinct soul.  They were: angels and humans.  They were created with the freedom of a will to choose.  Both, angels and humans, chose poorly.

The privilege of my existence
behooves me to seek-out God
and secure my eternity with Him.

Who Do You Think You Are?
Do you know what God thinks you are?

Satan, called Lucifer, so perfect and powerful, made his choice in the heavens to rebel and go against God Almighty.  And so Satan, evil to the core, roams the earth “seeking someone to devour“.

Adam and Eve made their choice to disobey God in the unexcelled Garden of Eden.  Wonderful as their perfect existence was, with God walking and talking personally with them, beautifully naked before God, without a care in the world… they turned their backs on their Creator.

So God damned His creation.  And all of mankind, from birth, are under God’s condemnation.  We need a Savior.  That Savior is Christ the King.

“There is none righteous
[none that meets God’s standard],
not even one.”
– Romans 3:10
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
We have turned, each one, to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wickedness of us all
[our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]
To fall on Him [instead of us].
– Isaiah 53:6

We see and experience the effects of The Fall.  We live in a “Vortex of Good & Evil“.  We are always in a state of dying.

17 but [only] from the tree of the knowledge (recognition) of good and evil you shall not eat, otherwise on the day that you eat from it, you shall most certainly [a]die [because of your disobedience].”  – Genesis 2:17 Amplified Bible

Footnotes: a. Genesis 2:17 Both spiritually and physically, physical death in the sense of becoming mortal; they were created immortal.

Living In This God Damned World: The effects
The earth is divided into two camps.  Each of us are experiencing the effects of God having damned the world – whether (1) we choose to reject Jesus and follow our own ways, or (2) we choose to truly repent and follow Christ:

In our bodies: pain and sorrows, sickness, disease, suffering, illnesses that we can’t shake-off, baffling conditions that the best scientists and doctors cannot figure-out. It’s all from The Fall.

In our minds: We do evil, even when we did not want to do the wrong (Romans 7:14-15).  Given a choice, we often do the wrong thing, we choose our self – over others, we sin.  We are naturally powered by the flesh inside our insides.  It’s all from The Fall.

In our emotions: We struggle with despair, depression, hopelessness, sorrow, grief and anguish. It’s all from The Fall.

In our strength: Our strength fails us.  It’s all from The Fall.


Being God damned on earth is to be
simply living your life – without Christ, living in rebellion against God, refusing to bow your knee to God, refusing his free gift of eternal life, living for anyone or anything else but Christ, against Christ, against what God has established, forever against God’s call to repent of your sins and have only this fleeting life, not turned to God in repentance, not accepted God’s free gift of acceptance into His Kingdom, not accepted Christ as Lord of your life, not had God change you into a forgiven child of God and yet have the opportunity now to accept Christ as Lord and Savior.  Source:  God Damned On Earth

By God’s design there will come a time of change, right on time for each of us:

  1. For followers – it will be some sweet day at the Rapture or when we die, if we are following Him, truly born again; but…
  2. For Unbelievers – it will be on that hopeless, hopeless Day of Judgement when all without Christ will receive the sentence of eternal damnation from The Damning God, and sent to Satan’s Place of Endless Darkness, without any of the good of God, forever, a place designed by God to restrain all that is evil.

It is up to us to battle the very big and very bad enemies of our soul.  But we, on our own, will never vanguish any such enemy with our power.  We must be living yeilded to God, powered by God, by the Holy Spirit, who promises to remain with us, inside our soul, forever more.  Nothing can separate us from Him.  Nothing.

14 For all
who are allowing themselves
to
be led
by the Spirit of God
are sons of God.
– Romans 8: verse 14

We absolutely must be absolutely guarded in all our ways – to be a healthy soul, to live a worthy life.  Satan is a deceiver and a liar.  You don’t win with an unguarded life.

Christ is preparing a place for us in His forever home.  I want to arrive having lived a life worthy of our Holy Holy Holy God.  How ’bout you?

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.

God can do anything He decides to do

Long ago “and far away” God decided how things were going to be. Are you down with that? God is asking you to repent and join Him – forever.

Got a Cracked Heart?

Was your “decision” for Christ way long ago made with a “cracked heart”. Have you examined yourself lately (2 Corinthians 13:5)?

Jesus said, “Good answer! Do it and you’ll live.”

“What do I need to do to get eternal life?” He [Jesus] answered, “What’s written in God’s Law?

Take a Stance on Homosexuality – like Jesus did

Anything contrary to God’s expressed will has to be carefully avoided. Homosexuality, for example, is pushed nowadays as “okay by God”.  But actually, it is listed in the Bible right beside many other practices that are not pleasing to God. Temptation towards any sin is NOT sinful. But, if we practice a sin, then we deny Christ. Want to please God in all you do?
