God bless you all, I just want to take the time to say thank you for giving me this opportunity to share with you all what the Lord has placed on my heart. This is a writing that I believe the people of God should see and receive to change the mindset of how we go through the different trials and tribulations that God permit us to experience.
The bible clearly states that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. (Psalm 34:19)
This scripture let's us know there will be hard times that we MUST face in this life. My desire here is to teach you how to see God in every situation that you will ever face.
There will be 3 points that will help you go through and come out better and not bitter.
1. Examine your attitude and ask yourself why am I going through this? Is it because of my own actions? Did I bring this upon myself? If so don't fret, you are not alone. Many of us have made bad decisions and had to suffer the consequences because of it. We do not serve a God that condemns us when we make mistakes. He loves us so much and that same love is able to cover every mistake we will ever make. So take responsibility and stop allowing the enemy to condemn you. Stop walking around with your head hung low in fact LIFT UP YOUR HEAD OH YE GATES AND THE KING OF GLORY SHALL COME IN!!Therefore there is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit (Rom. 8:1), now thank God for His love that covers us.
2. How you choose to go through makes a big difference. We really have to take into consideration of how we go through the hard times. The bible tells us to Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS. Again I will say REJOICE!!!(Phil.4:4). This is written to us in the form of a command. We are to rejoice ALWAYS which means whether we are up or whether we are down we are to rejoice in the Lord. Remember He is still worthy regardless of what we will ever face. He is still God and that does not change. He is still the Creator, so don't forget who you serve, you serve a God that has the power to part every red sea that stands before you. He is El Roi (The God that sees me), never forget that He can see you and He knows everything that you will ever encounter. He permitted it for your good. ALL THINGS work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28)...
3. Now that you have examined the "why and how" lets look at "the When." The first scripture in the beginning of this post was MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS BUT THE LORD WILL DELIVER HIM OUT OF THEM ALL!!! Looking at this scripture its safe to say WHEN we go through hard times we can always count on the Lord to deliver us. Jesus never said that we would not experience hard times but He did promise to comfort us in the midst of all of them. In fact He promised to never leave us nor forsake (abandon) us. We have an advocate that goes before the Father and intercedes on our behalf. By trusting Him when we can't see our way out is what moves the hand of God in our lives. Remember it is impossible to please God without faith. Practice telling the Father you trust Him when everything seems to be going well, as you do this you begin to store up treasures in heaven for the bad times. See God is so awesome because He never forgets. He remembers the times when you just began to think of the goodness of the Lord and began to praise Him. He remembers your labor of love and it is not in vain. See when you have the attitude that " I will praise Him because He is God", when the hard times hit, the response will be "THOU HE SLAY ME YET WILL I TRUST HIM!!!
Saints of the Most High, God is calling us to MATURITY, you can't buckle under pressure. Remember the oil does not come out of the olive until it has been crushed. Give God glory for the crushing because it's producing the oil of the anointing. Know that you are coming out of this thing stronger and better than when you went in. The wisdom that you didn't have before you started experiencing this thing you shall have when you come out. God is a MIGHTY DELIVERER and you shall come out VICTORIOUS. The good news is when you come out you shall have a story to tell to pull others out. YOU HAVE A LIFE CHANGING TESTIMONY!! EMBRACE IT AND LIVE...
God bless you all
