It is a dangerous thing to say and believe that God is in control of everything. If he is in control of everything one would have to say that he is the one who steal, kills, and destroys. One would also have to say that he is the one who gives joy, peace, goodness, kindness, long suffering, and teaches us patience, and to enjoy what he gives us. How would we be able to enjoy one thing and then the next day he makes us ill.... how do we worship him as the overcomer when hes the one killing people... These are questions that we continue to skip over when we say "God is in control". On the other hand, the side of sonship, if God is in control how or why should we pray... what is the point of prayer if God already knows the outcome, hes already defeated the enemy, yet hes the one that put the sickness which is the enemy onto us.... If God is in control then why are we laying hands on the sick if he made that person sick...if God is in control then he should be the one to hea...
