I remember a similar rant from a Todd Bentley follower on this forum

Brother fuehrerbe21, I am glad we agree on God's sovereignty, that will make it a little easier on both of us ;)
You know, I was trying really hard to think of an example in scripture where someone was unable to overcome a situation but failed to think of one
I think I have discovered the differnece in understanding. See, I would agree that God would put us in a situation that we can't get out of because we can't do anything in our own power. But, as a believer, I would say that God will deliver us through. As you've said, it doesn't mean thing will be easy. I disagree with all the various teachings out there that say that being a Christian means things get easier. As I said in my last post, if God is incapable of doing something, then he is not really God. This might really be an issue of semantics. I would say that even in the examples given, these men were not destroyed. They realized they could do nothing apart from God.
