Excellent.” None of these definitions means that God controls everything. The dictionary defines “sovereign” as, “1. However, there is nothing in the actual definition that states that. Nothing can happen but what He wills or allows. Religion has resulted in the invention of a new meaning for the word “sovereign,” which basically means God controls everything. It is used 303 times in the Old Testament of the New International Version, but it is always used in association with the word “LORD” and is the equivalent of the King James Version’s “LORD God.” Not a single one of those times is the word “sovereign” used in the manner that it has come to be used in religion in our day and time.

If we believe that God wills everything, good or bad, to happen to us, it gives us some temporary relief from confusion and condemnation, but in the long-term, it slanders God, hinders our trust in God, and leads to passiveness. If this belief is true, then our actions are irrelevant, and our efforts are meaningless. The belief that God controls everything that happens to us is one of the devil’s biggest inroads into our lives. I know that this is a shocking statement and is near blasphemy to some people, but the way sovereignty” is taught today is a real faith killer. I believe this is the worst doctrine in the church today.

He had been through some terrible things that nearly destroyed his faith. I attended a meeting where an old friend of mine was ministering. My heart was really stirred this last month.
