3. PRAYING AND GOING THROUGH THE TRIALS ! My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials [ ... ] Blessed is the man who perseveres with patience temptation, because having been approved he will receive the crown of life , which the Lord has promised to those who love him . (James 1:2,12 ) . We will all go through trials in our lives . Some more, some less , but no one escapes . The difference is how we deal with them . As we face the trials that happen in our lives . The word pass over in Greek means fall so as to be engaged , falls into something . So when we go through trials , mean that we fall into difficult situations . Already the word trials , means problem or something that breaks the pattern of peace, comfort , joy and happiness in a persons life . The shape of the word budget means submitting something to the test to find out the quality of this thing . God allows such evidence to prove and increase the strength and quality of faith and spirituality that each person shows in their practical life . I myself , when writing this message , Im going with stomach trouble , praying to God (who can strengthen and pray for Jesus to heal me , I thank you ) , to be healed and continue my journey . The word support in Greek has the meaning of survival in the midst of pain , passively , and that focuses on the victorious outcome . The person never gives up ! Unfortunately , the Lords people have not been taught to face problems . The prosperity theology has distorted the teaching about being more than a conqueror , and now believed that the Christian can not suffer , and when that happens , many end up giving up and abandoning the faith in Jesus. We have over 40 million people who have left the faith in Jesus here in Brazil . The Lord Jesus taught differently: These things I have spoken to have peace in me . In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer , I have overcome the world. ( John 16:33 ) . The Greek word translated tribulation means oppression , distress , tribulation , distress , dilemma . The true disciple of Jesus must be prepared to face any difficult situation , either with disease , persecution , threats , problems in the family . The Lord Jesus assured us that we will have the peace that comes from it , and therefore can not be bought with money . The word approved means passed the test , ie , the disciple was approved and passed the trials their faith , like Job , for example. And as a final prize , will receive the crown of life : a greater reward than the price you paid to endure every trial . I know that many nations such as the Philippines , are suffering at the moment with the ravages of nature, thousands of people died , there is lots of hurting people through any kind of need . It is a very sad situation . But we can not lose faith in Jesus at this moment, because with Jesus Christ is difficult, imagine how you will be without Jesus . We do not know all the plans of the LORD, and the reason why the Lord allows such situations . The Lord is the Creator of everything , and therefore , in his sovereignty , allows suffering in this world that lieth in wickedness ( 1 John 5:19 b ) , until the Glorious Return of Jesus Christ to earth to establish the Millennium. Today , Gods people , especially on the West sometimes little. So , I call upon all readers and readers of this sermon , in all nations , that we raise many prayers to the Lord Jesus Christ , the lives in the Philippines , in Africa , in Asia and in all countries who are suffering from earthquakes , hurricanes, tsunamis , and all sorts of destruction of nature . And summon many others to pray as well. The Lord hears the cry of His Church in all nations , because it will bind on earth , to be bound in heaven . Will be a powerful prayer . Lets make a special prayer on Saturday, November 16, 2013 . Pray the prayer in your home, church , wherever you are : at least 10 minutes . I count on you : share , give it a like this post . But do not be surprised with all that is happening , because it is only the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophecy before the Rapture of the Church : For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God ... Because we know that the whole creation , at once , groans and pangs until now . ( Romans 8:19,22 ) . Even the creation, that is , the physical world , mother nature , groans and awaits the day when the true children of God will be revealed , receiving a glorified body like that of Jesus , when He rose from the dead : For our citizenship is in heaven , from whence also we look for the Saviour , the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like the body of his glory , according to the working of the power he has even to subject all to itself things . ( Philippians 3:20-21 ) . It is the most powerful and tremendous revelation of the Lord Jesus , and she is a wonderful reward for all of us , even suffering , we do not deny the faith in Jesus Christ the Lord . May the Lord Jesus Christ bless your life, read this sermon in your local language , in every nation . Love all of you from all the nations in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior . The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all people in every nation in the 64 languages in which publish this sermon.
