Fatalism is satanic.
→ It assumes our Lord is playing games with humanity.
→ It assumes He is cruel.
→ It assumes He gave man dominion over the earth and then took it away.
→ It undermines faith.
→ It steals our inheritance.
Do You live by faith or fate? by Barry Bennett
Are you called to be an overcoming believer who is learning to reign in life, or are you called to be a passive spectator who lives by fate?
Did God invest His Son, His name, His Spirit, His Word, His faith, His covenant, His blood, His gifts and His authority in us so that we could just float down the river of life on the inner tube of Grace, accepting all that comes our way? Have we not been redeemed with a purpose?
Don’t let the world squeeze your destiny out of you and inject its destiny into you. The righteous live by faith, not fate. Lift up your eyes and see the harvest that is waiting for laborers. We all have a place, a gift and a purpose in God’s heart to reach all nations.
Fatalism and resignation are the symptoms of a wrong understanding of the nature of God and the potential of man. Phrases such as ‘ God has everything under control,’ and ‘There is a purpose in everything that happens,’ scream of fatalism. Those who say such things have misunderstood God and His purposes. They attribute to Him everything that happens in this world, good or bad.
Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." ()
Fatalism is a type of death that we must arise from. God has created us in His image to be His ambassadors, extending His message of love and forgiveness throughout the world. We are equipped for vision and success!
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
