There is so much violence in our world, so much hatred over the color of our skin, and the type of our religion. When is it enough? “Why doesn’t God come down and save us from the misery that billions of people are experiencing?”
This question was hurled at me during my “X” Zone Radio interview with Rob McConnell and here’s the answer I presented:
To fix the problem God has to fix us! We are the problem. The real problem comes from our insidious greed for power. Our arrogance surges up through the cracks of the geopolitical divisions of our planet. Violence always erupts at the pressure points. So yeah, we’ve asked God for help but then, we’re not listening to Him.
He’s offered to help a long time ago. He sent prophets and great messengers to all the different faiths. The celestial standards required to bring heaven onto earth are kindness, gentleness, respect, love toward your neighbor, care for the planet, honor to God. An alliance, from a celestial kingdom and government, has already been presented to us to create peace and harmony for all humanity.
The government of God is real, it’s there, standing at our threshold.
“But nobody’s going to tell us what to do”, we say with belligerence. We’re like spiritual toddlers petulantly pushing God’s instructions aside and saying, “No, I want to do it myself.” Like teenagers, we think we have all the answers. We act like spoiled children in the western world, and bullies on the playground of our planet. In our immaturity, we think we can create a paradise for ourselves without the responsibility of being citizens in the great cosmos designed for us.
We choose for ourselves what’s right and wrong. Or worse, we decide there is no right and wrong. Well, that isn’t working…
So yes, God is waiting for us to accept his plan. I guess He could turn us into robots who can’t disobey the laws programmed into them, or He could let us kill ourselves off and let the animals roam free. But no, God loves us; He just hates how we act. He’s waiting for us to accept the alliance he proposed and to play the Game of Life on our planet by his rules.
He’s waiting for us to take his advice, download his laws, and learn HOW to love each other.
After all, He designed us all to be gods on Earth– and that’s what we can be…
IF we will just hurry up and spiritually GROW UP!
We need to download and update a new operating system. That’s my thinking. What are your thoughts? Where do you stand?

You are so right, Jane: God has already provided the answer, Jesus. Just like Andrae Crouch sang several decades ago: “Jesus Is the Answer for the World Today.” He is the way God has provided for us to experience a life of joy and peace now and eternal life to come. (But you already knew that!) P.S. I am hoping you can steer me to the scripture that says God has designed us to be gods on earth. Thank you!

Thanks for writing in, Nancy. The scripture you want to read is Psalms 82:6-7:
“I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ But you will die like mere mortals…”
If we put that together with Genesis 1:26 we get an understanding how we’re designed to be like gods to subdue the earth:
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
But yes, Jesus is the answer to our mortality, if we get connected! That’s why he promised to send back Holy Spirit to guide us. And it’s here in our world now! Jesus wants us to model him to have a powerful abundant life and to overcome death later, by a metaphysical change into an immortal existence in his realm. I love discussing these things, don’t you?

It amazes me that people try so hard to exercise their power over each other through hatred when God’s love is more powerful than anything we know, and its ours for the asking! Great article Jane. Thank you for this.

Yes! What if we poured our resources of wealth, expertise, humanitarian aid (‘thats a form of our love’) back into underprivileged communities and nations in the world instead of funding billions into the military? Think how powerful that ‘love’ would be. Less fortunate people would have hope and wouldn’t need to demonstrate or sneak illegally over the border. Every nation and community would have pride in their own cultural identity. Isn’t that kind of ‘ POWERFUL LOVE’ the answer? Thanks for sharing your views on here!
