Have you ever asked yourself,

'Why do bad things happen?'

This is a compelling question that has a simple answer. Far too many people accept that trouble is a part of life and must be experienced to gain knowledge and strength; ultimately bringing them to a position where God can now use them-for a greater purpose. While most people accept this idea as something that cannot be changed or altered, there is evidence in the Word of God that reveals to us the truth that trouble is a choice-not a destiny.

Learning what causes trouble is the key to living a trouble-free life. Applying that knowledge will help you to completely change your quality of life. You do not have to continually go from trouble to freedom, sickness to health, and lack to provision. You can live in such a way that trouble cannot touch you.
We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
1 John 5:18 (NKJV)
