God Raised Slaves to Glory, Joseph, Daniel , Ester

[Musterseed]

From the Destiny of Women, an encouraging message from Ray.

James says " rejoice in the firey trials. Because this is good stuff, this is more than gold or silver. You say " I don't know, give me gold and silver. But this is more valuable. I'm at a place now where I would chuck all the gold for this ( Bible),
this is going to last. We are building something that is eternal and we are the
first fruits. The firstfruits are always the biggest and plumpest and we are the first
fruits. We are the first. No human being born of a human father has ever made it into the Kingdom of God, yet. Some are qualified and sleeping on it , but nobody has made it yet, not one person.We are going to be first. So as in closing, I want
to wish you health, happiness and prosperity. Along with all the trials, misery and
tribulation and everything else that comes your way . I mean, you will partake of
both. There are times of joy and times of sorrow, they are all just as needful.
It's just very hard when you are not feeling good,or looking good, or seeing things
very good.  But you got to look beyond to the goal. All these things are necessary.
                                                                                                           Ray

Just a little more encourgement.
                                           
Isa.41:8...But you Israel, My servant Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of
Abraham, My friend; v9... whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from
its farthest corners saying to you, " you are My servant, I have chosen you and
not cast you off.v10... fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your
God, I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous
hand. V11... Behold , all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and
confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish.
V12... those who war against you shall be as nothing at all.

Psalm 48:1.... Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of Our God!
                     His Holy Mountain.

Love to all of you in Christ

What a blessing of remembering for me and for you to share this with all of us. And the added scriptures of encouragement has well.

May the Good Lord continue to strengthen and bless you and your family, through ALL things that this life will bring Pamela.

Thank you my sister in Christ Jesus!

There are still days when I tell God I give up, I'm done, I can't do this. Then again, I know it's not for me to decide whether I give up or not. God gives hope that just won't die, no matter the circumstances. This hope causes me to want to learn more about Him. I got it in me that if I could just touch the hem of His robe, I'd have it made.

Chris is the resurrection, and it occurred to me today that to be made alive in Him takes time and circumstances, neither of which are in my control. Not that I didn't know salvation is a process, but that I didn't know resurrection is also a process. I'm awake, but I'm still a bit sleepy. I have observed that I'm at my weakest when I'm sleepy. Thank God He showed me that because I know when I'm weak, then I'm strong because His power is perfected in weakness.

Thanks, Pamela and Nett, we all need encouragement.

After I wrote the (post rejoice in the firey trials cause this is good stuff,)
the next morning, I got the gout,  , it's so painful 😖 I can't touch it.
Now I have to put my money where my mouth is and rejoice cause,
it's good stuff. It doesn't feel good  but it's good for its purpose for it.)

Phil.2:13.... For it is God which works in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure. ( even if it hurts)

We are sleepyhead worms in warriors garments . Put on the full armour
of God.... Jesus Christ.
Christ is EVERYTHING, and really HIGH TECH.

Nett thank you for your blessing, I pray the same for you and your family.💕
Porter, if God has already predetermined your way of life which is in Him, then
He won't let you give up. Hang in there my friend. God didn't raise no pansies.
Ok, now back to rejoicing over my big red fat swollen painful foot. 


God Bless you all in the Love of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.💕

First let me say, I'm sorry about the gout Pamela. I have such a low tolerance for pain that I typically even feel others' pain learning, hearing or seeing it. It's bad some days morethan others.

Secondly, you are God's vessel for that message. I've come to realise that just as I was, there are many who come to the forum to receive what God knows they need to keep going, even if they don't comment or log in.
Keep writing what God places in your heart. We are here and we are being encouraged and comforted by His word through the foolishness of preaching' in a way that only those who profess that Jesus is Lord and have His spirit can be. Thanking you sincerely and truly.
May you get better soon.

Thank you for your encouragement Maddie, I appreciate it very much.

The gout is horrible and I am a big baby when I have pain.
It's somewhat better today . I have to stay off of it as much as possible.
I also had vertigo and had to stay in bed  for 13 hours . I broke out in a rash
causing itching all over, got constipated from the pain meds and my eyes
constantly feel like they have sticks in them.
It's a whirlwind of one thing after another. Thank God for my husband.
He's caring for me but he can't cook except for opening cans , 😂.
My wonderful neighbour brought me some food yesterday. Thank God
for my neighbours also. I'm am thankful for everything especially for the
Will of God in my life, and for my BT family. God Bless you all with His love.

In Christ , Pamela
