The "works of the devil" are : sickness, disease, death, poverty, oppression, etc. They are always "works of the devil", all the time. They are not the "will of God", because there are none in heaven, and there were none here on Earth, before the devil brought them to Adam and Eve in the garden, and they received them.
GOD IS A GOOD FATHER, ALL THE TIME. THE "WORKS OF THE DEVIL" ARE BAD, ALL THE TIME.
"
God is the greatest parent the world has ever know." : Alan Oggs.
(Lk 11:12) shows us that our heavenly father would never give us something that would hurt us. This is established as a truth by the words of Jesus.
Jesus came to destroy "the works of the devil".
(I Jn 3:8). God will never use "the works of the devil" to save us. We cannot be saved by works,
even the devil's works. If you could, then the devil could boast. (
Eph 2:9)
Jesus went about healing all that were oppressed of the devil. (
Acts 10:38). How could God then
justly, use "the works of the devil" to benefit us in anyway? I say He could not, without being unjust.
God will never use the "works of the devil" to correct us. The word of God is given for correction. (
II Tim 3:16-17) If you will not be corrected by the word, then you will not be corrected, even by "a work of the devil".
(Lk 16:31)
Oppression never benefited Isreal, it only made them bitter toward God. They were phony. They would cry the the Lord, then as soon as He delivered them, they would murmur and complain. The final result was, they died by the millions.
