That trial that came and blindsided you, will turn out to be a blessing to promote you.

The very thing that the devil used against you, God will use to promote you, unless you hold onto bitterness.

We often times ask ourselves, how did I get into this mess?
Not understanding that the enemy was used to bring about your promotion. The devil has to play Father may I.

Just like with Simon Peter when Jesus said, Satan has desired to sift you.

Luke 22:31
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon! indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.

When we are sifting flour, we do it to reveal anything that does not belong in our flour.

Fear, doubt and unbelief, were deep in the heart of Simon Peter, it had to be revealed so that he could be the great leader God was making of him.

If you are in a trial now, know that greater blessings are ahead of you as soon as you come out of that mess.

Have you ever considered that all the devil was doing to Jesus was planned all along, it was the will of God in order to provide for your salvation? Forgiveness of sins, to give you peace and healings, body, soul and spirit.

When Josephs brothers tried to kill Joseph, little did they know that the hatred in their heart was being used to promote Joseph.

Look at your trial as a stepping stone to God's promotion for you.
Look at all that is happening to try and put fear and doubt on you, trying to make you give up your dream, stay in the faith God placed in your heart.

Turn it all over to the Lord, don't try and help God out, like Joseph did in prison, God doesn't need your help, He wants your heart free of any retaliation.

When we turn it all over to the Lord, and our heart is right before God, then the promotion comes. Otherwise another trial is ahead to take all that retaliation from your heart.

Psalm 75:6
For exaltation comes neither from the east, Nor from the west nor from the south, But God is the judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.

I know this scripture is out of context, but I felt led to use it for our trials we go through. God puts down our old self, and exalts Jesus in our life.

God puts down that thing in you that was hindering you from your growth, that doubt and fear insecurity that thing that was hidden deep inside, that only a trial would reveal.

He puts down all of that, so that He can exalt another you.
Spiritual growth, revealing to you a better understanding, to know how the Lord works in our life. He has good planned for you.

Trials are very painful while we are in them, but hindsight will show us the good thing that will come out of it.

Promotion and exaltation only come from the Lord.

Beloved, when the trials come, Praise God! He has a promotion in mind.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
