God controls everything, even evil. No matter how uncomfortable that makes us it is true. Let me give you an example.
One day David says to God. "I want to build you a house." God says "No!" "But you will have a son in the future who will build me my house".
Is this true?
Yes it is, and who was this promised son, this son of prophecy, this future son, this spoken word son, this god prophesied son.
This son, was Solomon… Now watch God fulfill his own word of promise, His own prophetic word to David.
One day David was overlooking his kingdom, and while on his rooftop, he sees a beautiful woman, bathing herself. David says "who is that woman" his servant says that is Bathsheba, the wife of your servant Uriah. David says "get her for me".
Then they have relations, (fornicate and commit adultery)…And from this union surrounded by sin and deceit, comes the God promised, prophesied, spoken word, son, named Solomon.
So do we have a problem with God using sin to complete His words? Do we have a problem with God creating evil for His purposes?
How about Moses, Moses kills a man, so he can meet God at the burning bush. Consider this man that Moses killed, this man was at the right place at the right time. What if this man had chosen to take a different path to work, or had an extra cup of tea, or went to visit the pharaoh that day. No that man had to be just at the right place at the right time to fulfill God's plan and promises.
Now in my own life, I have a testimony, I don't just quote scriptures, I can also tell you of my experience with God, how he has been faithful to me.
I was sure God could no longer love me, my sins so great.
So, let me tell you of two break throughs on the way to where I am now.
Years ago, I was invited to a church, the guest speaker was from Poland, his English was OK, but it was with a heavy accent.
After the service, he invited people up for prayer, so I went forward.
He prayed for me and as he did, he whispered my secret sins into my ear.
Now I knew he was hearing from God. Then he speaks in first person to me and, he says "I see your sin, but I also see your heart, I have not forsaken you, nor have I rejected you".
One day David says to God. "I want to build you a house." God says "No!" "But you will have a son in the future who will build me my house".
