Why does God let the devil push us around?

Some Chrstians blame the other Christian for having a lack of faith, or even having an ongoing sin causing their "problems", but actually the Bible doesn't always blame it on that.Look at some of the statements in the Bible."All those who seek to live godly will suffer persecution.""I saw those who were slain for their testimony of Jeus,who did not receive the mark of the beast or his number"."In the world you WILL HAVE tribulation"And Paul."Least I get puffed up with pride, it was granted me a thorn in the flesh, an agent of Satan,and 3 times I entreated the Lord to remove it, BUT He said,,"My grace is sufficient."So much for the Christians who say they will never go through trails. But besides refuting them, I must ask something. Our Earthly fathers, when they saw a bully pushing us around, they drove the bully off. God, on the other hand, LETS the devil push us around, and may even give him permission!!!It's like, the devil is trying to make our lives miserable, and God is like,"Sure!!Fine!!Go ahead and do it!!"{And I don't mean just physical,physically I'm fine, I mean having troublesome situations pop up in our life out of the blue,The devil zaps us, and God gives the go ahead.Why do you suppose that is?

I would like to know the answer myself.

I've said it before, as with Job God is showing Satan that He has faithful followers.

No one will push you around when you are living in the holy presence of Jesus. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, be in prayer asking the Lord to save the souls of those lost and wandering all alone in a dark world. Cast the devil out in the name of Jesus and he will flee from you. When someone picks on you and refuses to hear Gods word, they need the Lord and as faithful and true to God, pray for them. Ask the Lord to save their souls and Jesus will hear from heaven and will save those lost souls. Specially my boss, who was rude with me and did not want me to pray or read my bible. I asked Jesus to touch his heart and save his soul. Guess what. Jesus did it all. He brought him to church and gave his life to the Lord.

Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for blessing us with Your teachings! Blessing us to know You in Spirit and in Truth! Blessing us to know what You need us to know! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!

Jesus clearly told us that in the world we will have trouble but He has overcome. We also will overcome anything satan brings to our life. Just be in prayer, draw closer the to the Lord. He is coming soon to take us all home to heaven.

Our Lord Jesus casted out demons and yet He was executed. Earthy riches or heavenly riches? You choose, but we do go through persecution. Our Lord did and we are not greater then our Master.
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

It is all about strenghtening our faith and sacrificial Love. Sacrificial implies erosion of self, a type of hardship.
God bless all of you. ❤

And I'm patiently waiting for His return.

Most of the time serious challenges come one after another to the point of desperation. I sometimes wonder why my pleas to my Almighty father are not answered. You look around and see all the happy-go-lucky get it all right. Its always back to square one, wait patiently because God hears our prayers.

Jesus loves you and cares for you. He wants you and me faithful and true to the end. Sometimes he lets satan comes around just it did to Job. Illnesses of all kinds, rejection of his wife, death of his children and he lost all his herds and whatever he had. He said. Though He slay me, yet, I will trust Him. Job 13.15b Be faithful, continue to pray for those who hurt you or persecute you. Jesus will come to you and rescue you from anything you are going through.
