Note: WARNING! What you are about to read might go against the very fiber of your faith, the root of what you have come to accept about how God deals with His people, the heart of your religious experience.
"God has allowed you and is going to continue to allow you to go through some things - things that you are not comfortable with.
Some of you are going to go through financial hardship
Some of you are going to go through sickness
Some of you are going to lose loved ones.
9. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient
for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Even though God did not bring about the loss, the
mistakes, the tragedy, the trouble, the problem or the sickness - rather than
take you out of it (and God could) God, quite often decides to take you through
it.
When you get this truth about how God operates in you and
through you settled in your spirit, you will look at those things that you go
through, differently.
- Could it be that God utilizes this season of lack, or the loss of a loved one or the sickness you are going through to reveal more of Himself, to you?
- Could it be that God allows these seasons to bring you to a place where you start to look to God and trust in God for your substance, life, your everything?
- Could it be that God allows the death of His saints to show us the frailty of life and the short time we have to fulfill His will in our life?
- Could it be that through sickness God reveals an attribute of Himself that increases your faith?
Most of us have found out that God uses times like these
to reveal another attribute of Himself to us, that we had not carefully considered prior to that experience.
It is not true, that if you have enough faith, you will
never have problems, challenges, sickness, even death. Faith is to carry you through, not keep you out of..."
