trials

Let Go!

I make all things brand new. Therefore I give you a new name. Let go of the past, your old opinions, priorities, rights and identity. Let Me give you a new way to view everything . . . trials, relationships, yourself, and most of all, Me. Revelation 21:5 And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Isaiah 62:2 The nations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new name Which the mouth of the LORD will designate. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Isaiah 40:31 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Ruling and Reigning

The trials reveal your need. They reveal hidden aspects of your flesh that needs to be refined. They reveal My patience and Love for you. They reveal the authority I gave you over principalities. They reveal your need for more training and humility. They reveal your need for more Truth. They provide the opportunity for you to have more of Me. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Training to Rule

I did not ask My Father to take you out of this world. You are in training to rule with Me. Leaders are not trained to avoid hardship and conflict. No, their training leads them right into exercises of trials and tribulations. That is where they learn who they really are and what they really need. John 17:14-16   I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. James 1:2-5  2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Guard your heart

Remember that emotions cover up Truth. This is seen when someone you had strong feelings toward has been out of your life for many years and you begin to notice that your attitude toward them has changed. Or after you go through a trial that terrified you before you began, you often change your mind about the level of difficulty when it is over. Proverbs 29:11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.  Galatians 5:16-24 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, … Isaiah 30:25 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” But you were unwilling,

The Pain of Cleansing and Shaping

Hold still and quietly accept the process of My shaping  and cleansing you. Endure the hard Truth and welcome it as good. The pain of My surgeon’s knife lasts only a short while. Now, let’s leave the past and move forward on Our journey of Love. 1 Peter 1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer various trials, 7 so that the authenticity of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.… James 1:2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

I Am Good and all I bring to you is good. . . .trust Me

Be still and humble in the middle of the trial. Be quiet and still. With calmness, wait on Me. I will not only provide, but I will lift you up and seat you above the others. When you humbly accept what I bring and desire My Will, even when it hurts, then I exalt you and lift you up. Proverbs 3:5  Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Philippians 4: 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
