Grand finale
 
Bless God,
 
How is your new year? I haven't emailed you in a long while. Nevertheless guess what? The is the last mail on the topic of suffering so have blast as it promises to be good. I'll try to be brief. 
 
Recapping; we saw that suffering is a must for christians of all ages, we saw that it is necessary for growth, blessings and all that good stuff. We saw that we also suffer because of what we, parents and others do or just being a christian. We also know that suffering is a refining system for the saints (Isa. 48:10). But did you know that God allows the enemy to operate it so you can be all that you were meant to be. The bible said the steps of a good man are order by the Lord. The immediate verse said that though he fall... Now how can God order him and he falls. It was simply showing that the Lord leads you down some roads that looks like it was totally out of his will. But in his divine plan you were right on target.
 
Todays' Scriptures: (1) "Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver" Isaiah 50:2. (2) "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God." Roms 8:28. (3) "They that sow in tears shall reap in Joy."
 
I like the first scripture and I believe God is still say to us today, "Is my shortened at all, that I cannot redeem..." Many of us are lamenting, complaining and murmuring over some stuff were are going through. Not knowing that God is the author and finisher of our faith. Worse off yet not realizing that he can deliver you when he feels like. He's God he can do anything. Don't limit him. There is just something God is doing that you cannot see. T.D Jakes said God takes our picture but the negative comes out first. Snap! Flash, Light and glory. All hopes, dreams and promises God gave to you. But that picture has to be developed. How? The photographer takes it in a dark room in still water. Now we are the negatives and your "so-called" tough situations are the dark room, "by the still waters": developing you for glory. Ahhhhhh! What an asurance. Take this illustration.
 
You are like a cake being baked. The stove rep. the fire, testing, trial or suffering. The baking powder rep. the Holy Ghost (God will invest in you what you need to rise). Now the Lord will prepare the mixture and stir it and place it in the fire. Every now and then the Lord will check if the mixture has risen to be taken out. But most often with us, we come of soft after the normal time of baking, soft rep. still murmuring, complaining, no consistent worship and not trusting God. Then what happens the heat is turned up. The uptempo can rep. betrayal, strong delusions, you think eveybody is against you, failure, money dries up and you can name the rest. But if you find yourself in the fire there is five things that you must do to rise.
 
Pray and fast:- The bible said, "Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray (James 5:13). Fasting loose the bands of wickedness (Isaiah 58)
 
Forgive those that ought against you:-  Unforgiveness breathes anger, malice etc. You must leave you gift at the altar and go and make it up with the person that offended you or viceversa. God may just be teaching you love. I couldn't believe it when I read how close Peter was to Christ, when he denied him. He was right before his face. I though he was in the prison yard or something and Jesus was locked up. Man thats cold. But love prevailed and the gosple preched.
 
Testimony:- The book of Revelation spoke of us, who were robe in white that made it into glory land. They overcame by the word of their testimony. The same revelation said that these are they that went through great tribulation!
 
Attitude:-  If your attitude is though he slay me yet will I trust him, then you're on the right track. If you could just set your mind that this isn't it. I'm only passing through as a training ground for glory. God knows best. I will trust him. Jesse Duplantist said that if you're going through hell, don't stop keep going through it. After a while you'll be out.
 
Worship:-  This is the most vital. Praise is what energizes any area of ministry, life, blessings, release and favour. Praise is what undoubtedly invoke the presents of God to engulf us and any bondage must be broken. For God dwelleth in praise and where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Notice that Jonah praised God in the fish's belly and it spat him out. Paul and silas praised God in the prision and an earthquake set them free. The three hebrew song a long song in the fire. If you go to the home bible study section on the site, you will see the other books of the bible. Abed-nego wrote a book that is not included now. In it he recored the  experience in the furnace and most if not all was praise songs they sung in the fire. WOW!
 
Another long mail again and I wasn't even finished. But I feel the Lord leading me to quit this topic. "These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."-Jesus. Thanks again for reading and God bless. The following was forwarded to me.
 
A PRAYER FOR YOU!
 
Father, in the Name of Jesus, bless everyone on this list in a special way.
Open the doors in their life today. Give them a double portion of your
Spirit as we take back everything that the devil has stolen: Emotional
Health, Physical Health, Finances, Relationships, Children, Jobs, Homes,
Marriages. I cancel every plot, plan and scheme the enemy has devised
against them, in the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS.

And I declare:

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM WILL PROSPER.

I speak LIFE into every dead situation. And, I thank you that nothing is
over until YOU say it's over!
I speak prophetically into their lives and to their situations:
their household is blessed;
their health is blessed;
their marriage is blessed;
their finances are blessed;
their children are blessed;
their grandchildren are blessed;
their parents are blessed;
their siblings are blessed;
their ministries are blessed;
and, their decisions are blessed.

Husbands are on the way,
wives are on the way,
mortgages are on the way,
their hearts desires are on the way,
according to YOUR perfect will and plan for their lives.

IN JESUS' NAME!
AMEN!
 
Grace be unto you.
