Topic: The Effect Of Adversity Upon Free Will

How can we use our free will in adversity? What effect does our adversity have upon our free will?

Our free will determines whether we are ruled by the darkness or we rule over the darkness as we use the Light of God as our resource. Adversity or darkness wants to kill off your free will. Adversity or darkness wants to kill off your ability to make choices and decisions. When sickness, illness, pain, or suffering come into your life, these dark times normally make us feel helpless, without power, and without the ability to make decisions. Addictions and dependencies rob us of our ability to make choices free of the influence of the dark powers inherent in addictions and dependencies. The more we believe in the power of God to be with us and help us in adversity, the more influence the Light can have in us and through us when darkness tries to destroy us. The more we embrace the power of God, the more power we receive from God to make godly decisions. There is no limit to the influence God can have in our life if we put our life in the hands of God and exercise our free will. To glorify God in adversity by using our free will means we try to make decisions to do all we can do with what we have in His name and for His glory.
