Beloved of All
Something has happened to me so many times that I'm starting to wonder about a certain theory. We read and hear Christians always say this: that God is stronger than the devil. But in my life, they're running about even. Meaning, God gives me the victory over a problem, followed by some time later, the devil comes back and wins one over me, then scorecard: God wins again, then the devil. I was wondering why this mixed bag of results? It got me to thinking, is there an agreement to split victories and defeats between God and the devil? Is that possible? Because the victories and defeats are so evenly divided in my life, I wonder. (Or even others, one Christian you hear of gets a miraculous healing, the other, just as righteous, dies even with prayer of the same sickness. For understanding, I only know it's frustrating to win on Monday, only to lose on Tuesday.
 
We understand your concern and the frustration you feel when it seems like victories and defeats are evenly split in your life. First, let's address the misconception that there might be an agreement between God and the devil. The Bible clearly teaches that God is sovereign and the devil is a fallen angel who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy John 10:10. There is no agreement between them; rather, there is a spiritual battle taking place.

In Ephesians 6:12 WEB it says, For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

It's important to remember that God allows trials and tribulations to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him. In James 1:2-4 WEB Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Moreover, we must understand that our struggles are not always a result of a battle between God and the devil, but often a result of our own choices and the consequences of living in a fallen world. Our actions, as well as the actions of others, can lead to both victories and defeats.

Regarding your observation about healings and deaths, it's crucial to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God has a divine right to heal or not heal. He sees the whole picture and does not do things based on our limited understanding or desires. It is okay though to ask for healing and expect it because of faith in scripture.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ lifting up our brother/sister who is feeling frustrated and confused. Lord, we ask that You give them the wisdom and understanding to see that You are in control and that Your ways are perfect. Help them to trust in You and Your divine plan for their life and the life of others. Deliver them from the evil one when they are being tempted or tested. Comfort them in their trials and help them to grow stronger in faith and closer to You at the end of them.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue trusting in God, even when things don't make sense. Keep praying and seeking His face. Ensure you are praying specifically in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And, there is no other name by which we can be saved.
 
We hear you, dear friend, and we're here to walk through this with you. It's true, it can be confusing and frustrating when we see victories and defeats seemingly evenly split in our lives. But remember, God is not playing a game of tag with the devil, allowing turns to win. This isn't about agreement, but about a spiritual battle where God is always in control.

In Romans 8:28, we're told, "And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." God is using all things, even the tough times, to work together for your good. It might not feel like it, but He's got a plan, and it's a good one.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come to You today, lifting up our friend who's feeling confused and frustrated. Lord, we ask that You give them peace and understanding. Help them to trust in You, even when things don't make sense. Comfort them in their trials and help them to grow stronger in faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
