You Have A Right To Ask God Questions

 

GOD DOES NOT HAVE AN ISSUE W/YOU ASKING HIM QUESTIONS. Questioning God (being adversarial to His character) & asking God questions are two different things. The colonial version of Christianity has taught (erroneously) to, “sit down, be quiet, don’t ask any questions & do as you are told.” However, that is not biblical. How can you learn if you do not ask questions? God is not intimidated nor insecure for us to ask Him questions; when we do so in a respectable manner. Many of the giants of faith in the Bible asked God questions; & sometimes (amazingly) He even considered their point of view. The last days are stressful enough, to not be able to have a discussion with our Father (speaking to Him & He speaking to us). Many believers are unduly stressed, frustrated & irritated; when we have a loving, heavenly Father; Who is willing to hear us out, minister to us & give us wisdom, knowledge & understanding. Whatever you need to know today, God is waiting for you to ask Him. Now, we may not always like the answer that He gives. For example, Jesus asked for the bitter cup to pass; but the Father’s unspoken answer was that He had to drink it (Matt 26:39); but He will minister to us. #IveGotWorkToDo

 

Genesis 18:17-26 TLB. ¹⁷ “Should I hide my plan from Abraham?” God asked. ¹⁸ “For Abraham shall become a mighty nation, and he will be a source of blessing for all the nations of the earth. ¹⁹ And I have picked him out to have godly descendants and a godly household—men who are just and good—so that I can do for him all I have promised.” ²⁰ So the Lord told Abraham, “I have heard that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah are utterly evil, and that everything they do is wicked. ²¹ I am going down to see whether these reports are true or not. Then I will know.” ^22-23 So the other two went on toward Sodom, but the Lord remained with Abraham a while. Then Abraham approached him and said, “Will you kill good and bad alike? ²⁴ Suppose you find fifty godly people there within the city—will you destroy it, and not spare it for their sakes? ²⁵ That wouldn’t be right! Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, to kill the godly with the wicked! Why, you would be treating godly and wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth be fair?” ²⁶ And God replied, “If I find fifty godly people there, I will spare the entire city for their sake.”

 

Isaiah 1:18 TLB. Come, let’s talk this over, says the Lord; no matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you white as wool!

 

Matthew 27:46 TLB. About three o’clock, Jesus shouted, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

 

Luke 2:46-47 TLB. ^46-47 Three days later they finally discovered him. He was in the Temple, sitting among the teachers of Law, discussing deep questions with them and amazing everyone with his understanding and answers.
