Our Trials Keep Us Believing
“
.. Our trials keep us believing! Only God can do that because man who goes through his trials and tests runs to the arm of the flesh, runs to the doctor, runs to the bank manager …. father, mother …. you name it to try and find that way of escape. The bible teaches us from cover to cover that our trials keep us believing, why? – because our trials take us through that fiery furnace because it’s only in the fiery furnace where you’re going to meet God.
Now everyone in the natural runs away from the fiery furnace and in the natural you can’t blame them – we would do exactly the same without Jesus, and yet we find also
that many believers that confess Jesus are still actually doing the same thing, but our trials we’ve got to learn to yield over to the trial. Jesus yielded over to the work of the cross, Jesus didn’t have to crucify himself – they did it, all He had to do was simply yield over to His Father’s will, and your trials which are tailor made are for you to do precisely exactly the same.. ..

The Disciple cannot survive alone as a disciple the trials of faith ordained of the Father, but the humble will receive grace. The heart of a disciple in trials of faith will listen and learn to yield over to the Holy Spirit for it is only in the fiery furnace that he/she will meet God.Jesus then takes the burden and the disciple becomes a reflection of His grace and mercy.
