Fiery Trials & Tribulations
- Word of Encouragement Regarding Fiery Trials and Tribulations
Fiery Trials and Tribulations come to expose those areas of our lives that are not yet in conformity to Christ. In every trial we should ask ourselves “What does God’s Word say about my situation?” We should ask The Holy Spirit to speak to us and lead us. He will! He will guide us into all truths and The afflictions=TRIBULATIONS that we pass through IF we persevere in Faith and seek to grow in Love, afflictions=TRIBULATIONS will purify us and produce Godly character=Holiness within us replacing our old humus natures which will qualify us to receive back God's own ETERNAL GLORY. John 17:5 “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and ETERNAL weight of GLORY, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN. For the things which are seen are TEMPORARY, but the things which are not seen are ETERNAL.” 2 Cor. 4:16-18; *Hebrews 6:9-20 AMP
The APOSTLES of Christ went through much trouble=TRIBULATIONS.
“For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure and above our own strength, so that we despaired even of life....(all of us have been here some time or other). 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us.”
Why did God allow them to have “the sentence of death”? So that they would not trust in themselves, but in God who raises the dead.
The reason that you and I are going through the horrible trials=■Tests, TRIBULATIONS that we are going through is not so you can sink or fail. No! It is to get us to put our trust in God who raises the dead!
Sometimes we don’t trust God until all other options are gone. God has a way of removing all other options. Then it is “sink or swim."
We all think we have a lot of faith until we get into dire circumstances When everything in the natural that we can trust in is gone, then we know whether or not we really have or really don’t have much faith.
Trials, Tests, TRIBULATIONS will expose where our faith is.
About 27 years ago I received a prophetic word that God was going to strip away from me everything that I could trust in and then He was going to build in me a supernatural faith in Him. At the time I had just received JESUS CHRIST INTO MY HEART and, I we still had access to money. I was very healthy. All my bills were paid. But Within days of receiving that word, it seemed like everything in my life that could go wrong went wrong. One by one, I lost everything. Our home, my finances and my health all took a serious dive. Without going into details, over the years The Lord has taken me through various wilderness seasons …..Trials, Tests, TRIBULATIONS to build my faith and trust in Him glorifying me back in Him to various levels of glory….some rugged and some a bit mild through which I've learned to live by faith and give by faith. I've learned to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. When there was no one to look to for help, when there was no medical cure because doctors just could not diagnose my various cases till today, when there was no way to survive financially, I learned to live by The Word of God. My children and I have seen and been in awe of God’s supernatural provision and guidance over and over and over. We have endured some difficult and challenging times yet they have been times of awesome intimacy with The Lord. They have been the most faith building time. I was forced to draw near to The Lord every day just to keep my head above water. There is no substitute for going through fiery trials and learning to live by every Word that comes from His mouth to build us back up into holiness. Apostle Paul learned to lean on The Lord in his weakness.
“He encouraged me in, 2 Cor. 12:9-10, where he shares;
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
The Apostles taught in Acts 14:22 that tribulation is the doorway into The Kingdom of God. Going through tribulation, with our faith in Jesus, we are purified. This qualifies us for HIS GLORY.
The prophet Daniel foresaw the saints going through the great tribulation. Writing about it, he said, “Many shall be purified, made white, and refined.” Daniel 12:10
■Refined=cleaned of impurities
purified, redeemed, sanctified, consecrated, set apart, blessed, glorified, made holy=righteous
John the beloved saw these saints who came out of The Great Tribulation in Heaven. They had been purified. “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before The Throne and before The Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on The Throne, and to The Lamb!” All the angels stood around The Throne and the Elders and the Four Living Creatures, they all fell on their faces before The Throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”
Then one of the Elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of The Great tribulation, and washed their robes=old humus natures=their souls and made them white in the blood of The Lamb.”
Storms, Persecutions are coming. We must be prepared to go through trials=TESTS =TRIBULATIONS with absolute and implicit faith in God. This is Gold. This is when Christ is formed in us. These will be the days of His supernatural provision, guidance and demonstrated power. Isaiah 49:3
'“Fear not, for I AM with you; be not dismayed, for I AM your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.”
Isaiah 43:2
“Many are the afflictions=Tribulations the righteous, but The Lord delivers him out of them all.” Psalm 34:19
“Now may The God of Peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that Great Shepherd of The sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
Hebrews 13:20-21
RELEVANT SCRIPTURES
Until I did The message, God's Plan In The Next Phase, which was the last message that I sent out to you….I'd not fully grasped the meaning and purpose of the word TRIBULATIONS! Somehow, I never fully understood it! It was during my study of this Message, God's Plan In The Next Phase, with The Lord that He asked me to google Scriptures On the word TRIBULATION....when I did, a whole load of Scriptures were downloaded which I began to study and research with The Lord's help some of which I'm sharing with you BELOW....NOT TOO LONG INTO THIS STUDY, MY SPIRITUAL EYES OPENED AND I BEGAN TO REJOICE!

The other place where the expression "great tribulation" is utilized is in Revelation, chapter 7. There John, beholding "a great multitude" (v. 9) of white robed people praising God around His Throne and before The Lamb, he is told: "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of The Lamb"
