THE GLORIFYING OF GOD IN OUR TRIALS

1 Peter 4:15-16 New King James Version
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a [a]busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this [b]matter.

AND THE GENUINE GIFTS IT PRODUCES. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR PRECIOUS ONES!!!

I've got to say guys, this passage is something that's badly needed right now, because we are seeing a lot of real instances of persecution against Christians, and we need to be standing beside those brothers and sisters in Christ. Now you probably wonder why I'm using the word real in this, because I believe there's a big difference between someone who is being put in prison for their pro-life stance, for simply praying in front of an abortion clinic, or defiling a godless statement on a street, versus a sex predator that's a Deacon, youth pastor, or yes even a pastor themselves, being put in jail and doing prison time for the crime of violating a child.

I've been burdened about this a great deal guys, and tonight I'd like to share some things that God showed me from not just this morning scripture, but from other passages of scripture about how we can glorify God in the genuine and real trials that we face, while showing honor and integrity in what we do. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn for yourselves how to allow God to be glorified in the LEGIT trials, hardships, and trauma you go through! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I'd like to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, but I'm going to add a little bit to them, and I pray that you really deeply think about these questions and ask God to speak to you through them.

How have you suffered for Christ?

How was He glorified?

My prayer for all of you tonight, is that you really deeply think about these questions and ask yourself is what you are going through right now, something that is genuinely suffering for Christ, or is it because of your own making. If it's genuinely for the Lord, ask God to help you walk in continued integrity, and to allow God's loving character to continue to work in you. Be a person where Christ Jesus is seen in you always, so that they can't say or do anything against you that will truly stick. In other words, don’t be committing sins and doing stupid things that will bring you God's judgment through the law! Allow God to use the adversity and hardship that you are experiencing, to show God's loving character at work in you, but also to raise you to new heights in Him. Remember guys, it's not about getting to the top of the mountain but climbing it.

UNTIL WEDNESDAY:

HAVE A VERY TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
