Todays cup of wisdom: SUFFERING PRAISE THE LORD AND MAY ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY IN JESUS NAME! AAAAMEN! Dear brothers and sisters I pray that you will take the time to hear this message. I pray that you will be blessed by what God has for you today. Gods word is so full of blessings to help us through our struggles. I have so much to say about suffering and it is all good. Because I know the truth and the truth has set me free from the lies that the enemy wants me to believe. Because of what I have been through.. and the key word is THROUGH, I know that the next trial shall be the same.. I AM GOING THROUGH AND OUT IN JESUS NAME! I no longer fear what is to come, because I KNOW Gods will is always good. When satan ( I refuse to capitalize his name) rears his ugly head I tell him to shut up and shoo him away like he is a little fly! I COMMAND HIM TO GO! This power is not because of anything that I have, or have done, but the power of God in me, the power of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit and this power comes from one place and that is the word of God. The word says: James 1:22-25King James Version (KJV) 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. AAAAMEN! Until you truly absorb this verse, and let it rule your heart and mind, you will not see all that the truth of God has to offer you. Tests and trials come every minute of every day, but Gods word has an answer for every situation you face. I am prompted to share a bit of my own testimony with you, and to share what Gods word has done for me, because I have done what Gods word has said to do. First I want you to know that you only have one enemy and his name is satan. You do not war against flesh but spiritual principalities of darkness. BE ALERT! He is cunning and his desire is to kill and destroy! Your sword is the word of God! Keep it close, know it and do as it says! FIRST know this! If you are SUFFERING you are on the right road, going the right way and you are TRULY BLESSED! I have been through the roughest times in this life. I have been abused, persecuted, tried by fire. I have had financial devastation.I have suffered great loss, I have lived in fear, I have suffered mentally and physically and still I stand and am speaking with you right now. Praise and Glory be to God! From the very beginning of my life, the enemy knew I would be a threat to his plan! As an infant I literally died twice... turned blue right in front of my mother.. and was brought back! GOD HAD A PLAN AND NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED! People say do not look back, but I find such peace and get in praise when I look back to what God has done in my life. Look back! Do not go back, but look back so that you can remind yourself of what God has already done, and gain a fresh new hope of what he will continue to do in you, around you and through you! I am not a teacher, I have no theological training, no schooling, but God has given me real life experience, truthful testimony, and a love so deep for him and his word that must be shared with you! I have been given power and authority from the Father to continue in his will and as a faithful servant this is why I share my messages. Luke 8:39English Standard Version (ESV) 39 “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him. 2 Timothy 1:8English Standard Version (ESV) 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5English Standard Version (ESV) Proclaiming Christ Crucified 2 And I, when I came to you, brothers,[a] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony[b] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[c] but in the power of God. Humans may want to put a label on my posts and call it “ Teaching” but they are mere humans and only my Father in Heaven has authority to tell me Yes or no! I do not seek to please men but my Heavenly Father, and sharing testimony is what he has said to do… I have actually been through the fire, seen the power, seen the glory, I have with my own eyes seen the magnificent miracle work of our blessed and Mighty God! No classroom can teach what I have been taught, by spending time ALONE with God in His word and prayer. I am blessed to learn and share with you here. Only the word of God and its application in your life can bring you to the glorious manifestation of the truth where you will be set free Philippians 1:6King James Version (KJV) 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 2 Corinthians 1:10King James Version (KJV) 10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; Psalm 91:1-16English Standard Version (ESV) My Refuge and My Fortress 91 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say[a] to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge[b]— 10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. 14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. 15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Psalm 121:7English Standard Version (ESV) 7 The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life AAAAAMEN! This is YOU! Look at what you will do! LOOK AT WHAT GOD WILL DO FOR YOU! When evil comes, you will be rescued, He will command his angels concerning you. With long life shall you be satisfied! THE LORD WILL KEEP YOUR LIFE! I want you to grab hold of this and never let go of it! Remember who you are! A blessed child of the MOST HIGH God! Yes we suffer, but just for a little while. God always shines a light in the darkness, and we ALWAYS HAVE VICTORY! With each suffering, comes opportunity for a new victory! When I became a Christian, I was at the lowest place mentally, emotionally, physically that I have ever been. I had to be brought low to be lifted up. I had no idea if God really would hear me, or answer me, but in desperation I prayed. My life was falling apart all around me, and then I received a phone call that My birth Father had committed suicide. This was my breaking point, the very straw that broke me! My father left when I was 9 months old, I was abandoned, but never lost hope that he would return and love me. This day that hope was lost. I lost it, I already felt like there was nothing left for me, I would contemplate suicide, something forced those thoughts away each time they came, but nevertheless I contemplated. How did I ever get to this place? I thought I was strong, independent, could accomplish anything.. and yet here I was out of hope, out of strength, out of trust, out of faith in anything.. I COULD NOT DO IT! I cried and prayed to God, Lord if you are there, please hear me, please help me, I am lost, I am so sad I cannot stand it, I am afraid, I am alone, And now I have lost my Father and will never be loved by him. God help me… My pillow was drenched with tears as I fell asleep… and then in the night, that very same night when I prayed.. I had a dream.. A hand reached down from heaven… I knew it was GOD! I heard a voice it said “I AM YOUR FATHER, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN YOUR FATHER, I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FATHER, I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO, I WILL NEVER LEAVE!” I awoke and thought is this a dream? Maybe God really is real… Something was different now, nothing had changed physically, but inside something was different.. I had to learn more about God, I had to discern if this was real or just my imagination. I bought a Bible, joined a church and realized that YES GOD IS REAL! JESUS LIVES! HE IS MY LORD, HE IS MY SAVIOR! From that point my life was transformed, the more I read and studied, and drew closer to God the stronger I got, the fear diminished, the pain melted away, the hope returned, the joy and love I always searched for was mine. My financial worries were gone, and so many things I had lost were restored. I will not lie and say that no persecution has come since then, because in fact the persecution has increased, sufferings have come, but the difference was that now I was able to withstand the pressure from outside, because my inner spirit was strengthened according to the power of Jesus Christ! I drew near to him and he in return drew near to me. I abide in Him and he abides in me. I sought him and found him. I sought his kingdom first and not my own needs and all things were added! MY NEEDS ARE ALWAYS MET! So yes I am blessed and anointed by God to share, and so are you! The word is our sword, I urge you to keep it close! Know it and do as it says. The enemy is cunning, be alert, it is by the word of God that you will KNOW THE WAY, YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THE ENEMY, AND THE TRUTH OF GOD WILL SET YOU FREE! I pray that after reading these scriptures that you will have a whole new perspective, a mind renewal about your suffering, that you will understand your trials are a blessing and that you will be strengthened, full of hope and joy, and that the peace of God which passeth all understanding will rule in your hearts and minds, regardless of what surrounds you! In The MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS I PRAY! AAAAMEN! 2 Timothy 3:12English Standard Version (ESV) 12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 1 Peter 4:12-19English Standard Version (ESV) Suffering as a Christian 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christs sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory[a] and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[b] 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to Gods will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. James 1:2-4English Standard Version (ESV) Testing of Your Faith 2 Count it all joy, my brothers,[a] when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10English Standard Version (ESV) 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. .Philippians 1:29English Standard Version (ESV) 29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, Philippians 3:10English Standard Version (ESV) 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 2 Corinthians 4:17English Standard Version (ESV) 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, Psalm 34:19English Standard Version (ESV) 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all 1 Peter 1:6-7English Standard Version (ESV) 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Matthew 5:10-12English Standard Version (ESV) 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Isaiah 43:2English Standard Version (ESV) 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. -AAAAMEN! You are going through the rivers and waters to be cleansed and washed clean, through the fire for purification! GOD KNOWS IT AND IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!

Philippians 3:8-11English Standard Version (ESV) 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Jeremiah 29:13English Standard Version (ESV) 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
