Although God is a God of love, we must not forget He is also just. He tells us in his Word about the things we must not do, lest we suffer the consequences. Yet man goes on, ignoring the warnings in ignorance of God's word and wonders why things happen like they do. The next thing to do is to blame God, yet He has plainly spoken in His Word telling us about what will happen if we don't do it his way.

It seems that people are insulted when God's principles work. He makes it very plain that, when people want to get involved in witchcraft and make pacts with the devil , they will suffer serious results. This infuriates many people who do not understand the principles and sovereignty of the Creator God. Regardless of the anger and unbelief, God's principles work in nation’s and individual’s lives. The Word of God in the Bible is still alive, whether people want to believe it or not. They believe that God is cruel and shouldn't do such things as causing devastating hurricanes and earthquakes; nonetheless, we've been warned. But does He really cause them?

Out of rebellion and ignorance, people deny the hand of God and develop bitterness toward him in their lives, denying that He, and He alone, owns the earth. Most don't like to hear that, but it is absolutely true. To some of us, this is comforting. To others it generates anger as is apparent in the outrage generated against the statements of Pat Robinson when he said that the earthquake in Haiti was a judgment against that nation because of their voodoo and witchcraft. (See http://www.salon.com/life/feature/2010/01/13/haiti_satan_pact/index.html ). How sad.

Is all this any wonder when, according the Barna Group poll, that:

• •    Just half of all self-identified Christians firmly believe that the Bible is totally accurate in all of the principles (not the facts, just the principles) that it teaches.
• •    Barely one-quarter of adults (27%) are confident that Satan exists. (This includes ministers).
• •    Less than four out of every ten self-identified Christians firmly accept the teaching that a person can be influenced by spiritual forces, such as angels or demons.

Although, God is a God of mercy and grace, He is also a just God who must rule with an unbendable rod of iron. His Word cannot be changed according to His own decision.
As I have discovered and taught, curses are real. If you don’t believe this, read Deuteronomy 32 and see if any of these things are happening in your life. If they are, this loving God has also provided a way out; a remedy, a cure, a deliverance. The remedy is found in Jesus Christ, His Son and what He accomplished by going to the cross.

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” –Galatians 3:13-14 NKJV

God warns again and again about the curse that comes from involvement in, or even exposure to, witchcraft or the occult. I, personally, have had many souls come to me through the years whose lives have been harmed or devastated by such. A nation is no different.

Did God cause the earthquake in Haiti or has God warned a people through His Word and His prophets about the consequences of making deals with Satan? How many times must we warn someone of the effects of gravity before they step off a cliff?

The Bible is still alive and the Living Word that affects the universe.

It also affects your personal live whether you believe it or not. So don’t get bitter. Believe and be delivered. Be saved.
