4. How to discern if something is from God, or the enemy
I’d like to address the whole, “God wouldn't give us more than we can handle” perspective that I know all of us have heard and/or said at some time or another. The Word says that the enemy is out to kill, steal, and destroy. So, if the enemy is out to kill, steal, and destroy, then why is it when something bad happens (steal, kill, destroy), are we saying “Oh, well, God wouldn't give us more than we could handle,” when that was something the enemy was trying to inflict on us? God is able to take that negative thing or bad situation and He’s able to use it for His glory if we allow Him to. Have you ever considered this perspective? Are you open to considering it now? The Word says we speak life or death. Out of our mouths we speak blessings or curses. And so, if we continue to say, “Oh, well, God wouldn't give us more than we can [handle],” we're literally saying that God inflicted these hardships on us.
