Ever heard someone say, “You have to allow God to work in your life.” Or “Make room for God and see what he will do for you.” Or “God is waiting to do a great thing in you, but the choice is yours. You must let Him be a part of your life.” This is Word of Faith Lite.
God does not need our permission to do anything. Consider what Scripture actually says:
Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.
Psalms 115:3
The Bible leaves no speculation about the dominion of God. The Lord does ALL that He pleases. I don’t know how much clearer that can be.
The earth melts when when the Creator speaks (Psalm 46), and yet we have to give Him permission to work in us and our lives?
He does not bow to us.
We bow to Him.
We aren’t breaking His heart.
He will break us.
If you’re “allowing” God to do anything, you have a weak god.
The Creator is sovereign over His creation.
So do you have a high view of God? Or a low view? Is He who He says He is? Or not?
