The Growing Pains of Faith Reveal God’s Will Working in Us
The Spirit of God led Jesus into the wilderness to be tested. God’s good Spirit will lead us into our personal promise land, or into the testing room of faith. His Spirit has the ability to download our marching orders for victorious living. But the Lord will lead us into a situation that requires our faith to get out of it. The word of God in us demands to be tested once it becomes ripe in our hearts. God will teach us His will by allowing us to go through stuff we might not ordinarily deal with if we weren’t seeking Him. We all will have troubles on planet earth, saint and sinner alike as long as we’re here. Learning how to live above our not so good circumstances takes faith in God’s will, His word. The level country and land of uprightness comes as a byproduct of living out God’s will in this corrupt world. We ultimately are learning Kingdom living. The Kingdom of God suffers violence, but from God’s camp, the violent takes God’s word and wields it by force against Satan’s highest ranking officers of evil. The effectual, fervent, vibrant prayer of the righteous avails much (James 5:16). The Lord’s goal for us is to lead us by His Spirit into whatever it takes for our faith to grow, and to produce the peace that passes all understanding, and to have clarity of mind during and throughout life’s challenges. Become who you were born to be. Allow the growing pains of faith permission to have you for a season, but in the end you will always win if you never give up. Your welcome!
