Ricco:
What about the blessings we have in Christ, for all
the promises of Christ are yea and amen?
Is there a difference between tribulation from God which is for
purification and tribulation from satan as he is an opportunist.

I know God is fully in control, but it was God who said that we have
to choice of life and death, and that we were to choose life, how
does this pertain to tribulations.

Thanks for the help
God's blessings to all

Matt:
I think I understand what you are saying, though there are many here who will answer this much better than I will.

You say "tribulation from satan as he is an opportunist"
I believe that even Satan gets his marching orders from God.  He was made for a purpose, just like the rest of creation.  Satan is not just sitting and waiting for targets of opportunity so he can ruin God's plans.
You said it yourself "I know God is fully in control", just believe it! ;)

Keep studying Ray's teachings.  It may take months and years to understand (I have to review it many times still), but once it sinks in, you will be glad you put in the time and effort.

Hi Ricco,

I will also leave it to others better able to answer, but I wanted to say welcome!

Matt, I have to agree with you. I go back and read often and read my Bible and mark places. But, A verse i remember in my head is this one "Greater is he who is in you , then he who is of the world". I think we worry too much about Satan, when we have to put our trust in God that the Devil does nothing out of the control of God.  When we look at our only hope n stead of anything that takes our eyes off of God . How can there be anything then victory in him . Another one that comes to mind is "Lean not on your own understanding". I understand it that Satan is defeated. But, it was a good question and good answer for sure Matt.
In His Love
Marlene
