Just yesterday I had to go into my secret place to get alone with God...Someone close to me was scammed out of a large sum of money...My uncle is 71 years old, a business owner and dedicted Christian...He is faithful to the Lord in all things, he teaches the Word, he donates his time to those in need, he preaches at Star of Hope, but like everyone on the planet, he has his flaws, sins, though none intentional...

This was my plea before the Lord yesterday and His answer to me....

Yesterday I had to get alone with God....I began to feel burden down with this situation concerning my uncle....I went into my secret place and cried out to the Lord, WHY! WHY! WHY! did You allow this to happen to my uncle? I was pleading my uncles case before the Lord, that he is a faithful man, he has dedicated his life to the Lord, he is a wonderful teacher...I asked the Lord to speak to me, not in a vision/dream or by some person, I need to hear his audiable voice plainly and clearly....

I had began to feel if my uncle didn't have a chance to escape from the "wolf" then man, I don't even have a chance....

Soon the Lord did begin to speak to me....He filled my mind with the answers, I began to be consumed with peace and comfort...I felt a heavy burden lift and an appropreiate amount of burden remain...This is what I walked out of my secret place knowing...

"The Lord God loves us so much that He gives us the desires of our heart even if that desire is to worship an idol...It is our free will to choose...When the enemy sought out to destory Martin, he did so very cunningly. It was over a period of time and very, very, very slowly...Martin, unfortunately, feel into this trap and began at one point to desire the 8,500,000.00 dollars he was being promised by these scammers. Even though his actions appeared to be godly and in order, in his heart, those things that remain secret to us, where laid out and spilled before the Lord. Martins eyes though once free became filled with a bondage, a miss judgment. This prospect of money became a desire and it replace the desire for the Lord and became an idol before the Lord. He became all consumed by this and the Lord being a loving God allowed it to happen, because the Lord gives us the desires of our hearts. TO NOT do so, would make God a liar, of which He is not."

God loves us so much that the choice is ours...So, if one falls back into drug use it is by the choice of the person...God allows it, because it is the desire of the heart....The Lord does not want us to sin on His behalf, to gain anything in any form from sinning...

Would God allow us to sin? for His will?

Good question.

You have to ask, "What is God's will?", first.

He wants all His creation live up to the beautiful standards He set in the beginning.

God doesn't cause sin, we do.

He has been known to create something beautiful out of something ugly. In His perfect timing, He bumps us in the right direction. Maybe we think "it would have been better if He'd have 'bumped' us sooner?" and then satan comes in and whispers his lie "it was His plan for you to sin, for the greater good...". No. God does not cause us to sin, nudge us in sin's direction for His cause, or prevent us from sinning when we're determined to do it. He does not need us it is us who need Him. His will will get done with or without our help. He allows us to participate in His plans the way a father would allow his toddler to "help" build the tree-house in the back yard. It's an honor to do His will. It's a privilege.

Sin was never a part of His will and God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

God wants humans to make decisions for themselves and learn that with the decisions we make come consequences. If god were to correct every mistake we make then we would not learn that we need God's help. We would not know how to repent or learn what faith in christ is all about.

We as humans are hard headed creatures and sometimes it takes making the same mistake several times before we learn the lesson but it doesn't mean god is by any means happy he's just a very patient,kind, caring, and loving god that allows his children to learn for themselves instead of doing everything for them.

Kinda like a child in school that has a hard assignment for homework. Most parents will help show the child how to get started but won't do the homework for them because after all if the parents did all the work the child may do well but what have they learned from the experience except everytime they come across something hard in life that their parents will be there to fix it.

Answer:

NO

God hates sin and is disgusted and sickened to the core by even a tiniest lie or sinful act, so how on earth can you expect GOd to condone a sinful act?

NO one should ever sin in order to do Gods work, if you sin you will not be honoring God and be no better than the person you are trying to save.

This so called logical thinking that somehow God will allow a person to sin in order to speak to someone engaging in that sin is a lie straight from Satan. This disgusting idea is obviously used by people who want to continue to sin or engage in a sinful act with a clear mind by simply passing the buck to God by making out God wants them to do this. This is disgusting and obscene, it really is , and should be filed away under "Satan's tricks to bring down Christians".

No God would not allow us to fall back like that, but He does allow us to choose. And in our choices God will use the worst to make things better for someone else. So no that is not God allowing the fall, but you choosing it for yourself.

James 1:13-14

When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.

God can use ANY circumstance to glorify Him. and He allows us to make our own sinful choices. that does not mean, however, that our sinful choice was God's will.

No. you may be able to minister to drug addicts by being a recovered drug addict. this scripture may be helpful to you:

Galatians 6:1

Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

the restored one is doing the restoring.
