I am learning obedience through the things I suffer in life, and all my trials, tribulations, and sufferings I suffer in life, are teaching me GOD’S way in CHRIST JESUS!~
Brothers and sisters, what if all the pains, suffering, trials, tribulations, and hard places of life you’re in right now, are actually teaching you, and you’re supposed to learn obedience from all the things you suffer in life?
What if where you are right now is right where you are supposed to be?
What if all things happen for reason and purpose concerning your life, and the issues of your life?
What if you’re constantly asking GOD to free you and deliver you from the place where you are supposed to be at right now in your life?
What if all things really do happen for reason and purpose in your life, but you never understand the reason why, and you keep taking the same test over and over again in your life, because you fail to understand, that you cannot go beyond what you don’t understand?
“I am learning obedience through the things I suffer in life, and all my trials, tribulations, and sufferings I suffer in life, are teaching me GOD’S way in CHRIST JESUS!”~
(Isaiah 30:20-21) And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers: And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, you walk in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
(Isaiah 55:6-11) You Seek the LORD while he may be found, you call upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
(John 14:6-7) JESUS SAYS, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
The word of GOD says, JESUS learned obedience through the things he suffered in life, so since JESUS learned obedience through the things he suffered in life, then those who truly belong to CHRIST JESUS will also suffer for JESUS namesake.
For the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted JESUS, they will also persecute you; if they have kept JESUS sayings, they will keep yours words also.
But all these things will they do unto you for JESUS name’s sake, because they do not know JESUS or GOD who sent JESUS.
(John 15:17-21) JESUS SAYS, These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
I know this is a hard pill to swallow, and this a truth not many of you care to hear, because it’s not pleasing to your flesh or tickling your itching ears, but this is the true gospel of JESUS CHRIST told in the spirit of truth.
Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
For if you truly belong to GOD, and you truly know GOD by the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST, then all things are working for your good, even the bad-evil things, for what the enemy meant for evil, GOD will turn it around for your good!
For it is GOD who gives you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet your teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers: And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, you walk in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
(1 Peter 4:10-19) As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
(2 Timothy 3:12-13) Yea and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
I just love the absolute truth no matter how it’s said or who speaks it, for I am mature enough to accept the truth at all cost, even if it goes against what I believe or what I was taught, even if it might cost me the end of my life!
But the question for you is this, “Can you even handle the absolute truth?”~
