FROM THE DESK OF: Evangelist Deirdre House
SUBJECT: We Are Not Exempt from Trouble
We greet you in the Mighty and Excellent name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We do honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for he is Lord of lords, King of kings, and our Redeemer. We honor all Prophets, Prophetesses, Bishops, Pastors, Mothers, Elders, Evangelists, Teachers, Ministers, Deacons, Saints, and Friends. Saints, we are not exempt from trials and tribulations. We are going to be faced with trouble but remember God is still on the throne. 2 Corinthians 4:8-18, We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11) For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12) So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13) We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14) Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15) For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16) For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18) While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. We are in this world but not of this world. We are not exempt from sickness, we are not exempt from persecution, we will have to go through some things on this side of glory but count it all joy. 1 Peter 4:12-19, Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14) If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15) But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19) Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. Deuteronomy 31:6, Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Psalm 18:30, As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Psalm 18:2, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Hebrews 10:23, Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;). Numbers 23:19, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? The promises of God are yea and amen. Let us continue in faith so that we may receive the promises of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Remember, Jesus came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. May the Lord Jesus Christ increase our faith and give us power to endure hardness as a good soldier.
