Your Question(s) - Why do the people that do bad and evil deeds seem to do go and the more that I move toward the right way and look and seek his face there are more problem that come my way. Was the bible written to keep people do and if there is a God why is it that he has not given me a sign. The bible say's ask and ye shall receive but when you ask for the thing they don't come to pass.

My Answer(s) – Tnanita, We have all probably asked these type of questions in times past, especially the one where you say "the more that I move toward the right way and look and seek his face there are more problem(s) that come my way". The Holy Scripture tells us those who seek Christ will be persecuted in this present evil age; yet, the children of the evil one continue to grow more evil believing they will escape their fate. We read in 2 Timothy, "… all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. ¹³ But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived (2 Tim. 3:12-13 NKJV). So, you say what does all this mean? Well, it does not mean all Christians throughout their lives will suffer all the time in this evil world, but it does mean that your life as a Christian will not be free of trials and sufferings either. Even evil people suffer those things that are common to all humans. We as Christians must understand that doing the right thing requires us to choose to do the right even when this will not benefit us, for even the unbeliever does good deeds to benefit themselves. God the Father in heaven gives us a guarantee, that if we endure these things (trials and sufferings). Then we are bless with spiritual blessing as the Holy Spirit says,

• "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3 NKJV). Therefore, I say to you, "12… do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; ¹³ but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy" (1 Peter 4:12-13) Amen. Praise God.

And, we as Christians have a Comforter who is merciful and He is our Father in heaven, as it is written:

• 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 (NKJV)…    ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, ⁴ who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. ⁶ Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. ⁷ And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.

The above verses in Scripture tell us that trials and sufferings are for our salvation ensuring that we will be partakers with Christ our Savior in the heavenly realm and the coming age. For our trials increase our faith in our Father in heaven and His Christ whom called us out of this present evil age into their glorious kingdom. As it is written,

• "3… but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; ⁴ and perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:3-5).

We as Christians must examine ourselves, if indeed we have the Spirit of God inside of us (2 Cor. 13:5-6 and Rom. 8:9), for the Spirit expressly says it searches all things of God revealing these things to those who humbly submit themselves to the will of God. Knowing these things we must walk by faith and not by sight (Rom. 1:16-17), not looking for a sign from God except the fact that we have received His Spirit at our baptism (1 Cor. 2:9-11). Again, the Holy Spirit tells us that we in the Church of the Living God today are being judged. We in the Church are being judged not the unbelievers and evil persons, as it is written in 1 Peter 4:17-19:

• 1 Peter 4:17-19… "For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God [the Church of the Living God, those who have the Spirit of Christ living in them]; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? [Evil people and the unbeliever, those who do not have God’s Spirit]. ¹⁸ Now "If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?" ¹⁹ Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good [do not give up in doing good, but continue in your prayers always calling upon God to give you strength to carried on in the midst of suffering], as to a faithful Creator (1 Peter 4:17-19 NKJV).

Now, concerning evil people seeming to prosper in this evil and adulterous world. First, let me say, we are servants and sons to whom we obey. Therefore, it is not strange for the sons of Satan to be rewarded by him in this present evil age (John 8:44). But, we as Christians seek a better place as people of faith awaiting the appearing of His coming, for in due time this present age will see the sign of His coming. Remember, God is not mocked by any man, for all will stand before the judgment seat of Christ Jesus, and will answer for their own deeds whether they are good or evil. As the Spirit says, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Gal. 6:7).

You ask the question, "the Bible says ask and ye shall receive but when you ask for the thing they don’t come to pass." This seems to be a popular question from those seeking a material (physical) blessing from God. Most do not realize that above all things God want us to seek first the kingdom of God, then all things we need shall be added to our life (Matthew 6:31-34). Also, we as Christians must always pray for God’s will to be done and not ours. For we do not know what will befall us tomorrow, "sufficient for the day is its own trouble" (Matt. 6:34). We of ourselves do not know what we should pray for, the Holy Spirit clearly says in Romans 8:26, "…we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us…" to God the Father in heaven. Therefore, it is God’s will to provide us with what we need accordingly to His will. Be not anxious for anything in this present age, as it is said,

• "6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. ⁷ For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. ⁸ And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content" (1 Timothy 6:6-8). I pray you are not praying for things "amiss [not according the God’s will], that you may spend it on your pleasures" (James 4:3).

We as Christians must conclude this: "I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18). For we as Christians, "… must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). Therefore, I exhort you as a fellow Christians in the faith not to lose hope and faith, but to remain firm in your walk with Christ Jesus, continue to do good deeds. For our faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God to accomplish what He has promised us (1 Cor. 2:5). I pray to my Father in heaven that He will give you contentment. For in due time our Savior will appear with our reward, if we continue in the faith, fighting the good fight. Amen. Praise God.
