TRIALS
181) God knows how to make adversity feed destiny into
your life.

182) The Holy Spirits waits until the most critical moment
before He shows up. This was divinely purposed so that no
one or nothing would ever rob God of His glory.

183) Your trials have to be your friends, not your enemies.
God meant them for you, for your own Growth. If you make
them your enemies, they will be heavier on you. God made
them for your own good. Now you make a choice how you
are going to look at your trials. Keep the goal in mind.

184) In times of distress, seek the healer, not the healing. If you have Him, your needs become insignificant. He doesn’t have to do anything but be there…and it is over.

185) If you are in a fiery trial, be advised that it is your faith that is on trial. If you are to overcome, it will not be by your feelings. If faith doesn’t deliver you from it, then it will surely deliver you through it.

186) To remain calm in crises, and faithful in frightening
times, its easier said than done. Generally, we see the
workings of God when we look back, but while in the
rumbling winds of life, we are often in search of the Lord.

187) Warfare surrounds the birth of miracles in your life.

188) When you encounter a Judas in your life, remember that
it is his/her actions that carry out the purpose of God in your
life. Persecutions, struggles and the trauma we face will help
us persevere. It will make you strong. It is often the
relationship with that mysterious friend of malice and strife,
weakness and defective behavior, that becomes the catalyst
for greatness in your life. He can bless you through the worst
of relationships.

189) The greater the conflict is, the greater the conquest.

190) We gain great direction through rejection. It helps us
focus on new horizons without the hindrances of wondering.

191) Sickness is not part of the cross we are called to bear.

192) The lord waits until you reach rock bottom, until you
reach the bottom of the well before reaching out to you and
saving you. He does this so that you may see His glory, and
where He pulled you out of, and never doubt that it was Him
who helped you.

193) Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal what he
is made of.

194) When the pain becomes unbearable, your blessings are
just around the corner. Stand fast!

195) When you feel satan’s attacks on your life, rejoice! Blessings are on your way. He attacks you because he can foresee the blessings. Although satan cannot see the future he has somewhat of an understanding how God prepares you to receive your blessings.

196) God tested Job in an intense way, and Job asked himself and God if he had committed a sin. He realized he didn’t. We will also be tested by God, but other Christians might think we are going through tribulations because of sins. Just smile and walk away if any accuse you.

197) When problems come don’t get mad of grouchy, that’s
what satan wants. Let God fight the battles for you.

198) God sometimes takes away things you love to get your
attention. When he seeks your attention, seek His will. He
has a purpose for your life.

199) We want to be use greatly by God but we do not want to pay the price.

200) If you are tired of the inner struggles, the constant
fights between good and evil; If the battles toughen up, and
you feel tired and weary of these struggles. Don’t give up!
Come to the fountain of strength, which is Jesus, drink water,
renew your strengths, dust off your armor, and off you go to
the frontline to continue your battles. For in due time it will
pay off, a great reward awaits.

201) Do not look at the storm, look at the God of the storms.
Stand your ground, trust, wait; He will do.

202) Sometimes the worst times in our lives do more to
strengthen us than all the mountain-top experiences. The
power of God reacts to struggle and stress.

203) God never takes away something and leave us empty-handed. He usually gives back something better.

204) The best way to face life’s changes is to look at unchanging God.

205) Comfort is most effective when it comes from one who has suffered, one who
Has been in the same path before.

206) You don’t know the measure of God’s goodness until you get into the fire (trials). His actions will prompt you to be in awe of Him.

207) When under fire, when problems engulf you, overwhelm you, you become blind for a while. Your vision is limited to the problems at hand. You can’t see anything but the storm at hand. Make no decisions at this time. Wait for sight. Time is usually helpful. When it is over, and you can finally see beyond the storm, you look back and wish you had overcome, or done better.

208) God never asks us to bear tomorrow’s burdens with
today’s grace.

209) Jesus specializes in the “too late” situations. When
there is no way out, no hope, Jesus will make the way.
