0:41
shau to who was It Michigan? Michigan is on online with us for last

week, they're the most visiting listeners to the radio show. Amen. Also
0:54
to sell Our Radio online. The network Lee have Avalley's number one Urban gospel
1:00
music station online since two thousand and eight. So although we're not new to
1:03
this, Amen, I would like to say we're still growing. Amen.
1:07
Because God is good. God's good. He spoke a word and that word
1:11
came to pass Amen. How many people know that when God says a thing,
1:15
it is a thing. Amen. Just be faithful to what God is
1:19
doing in your life, Amen, and you will see the fruit of it
1:22
grow. Amen. Sister Joanne, Good morning, God bless y'all see you.
1:25
Good morning. So today's topic or today's title is called why God.
1:33
Now I'm gonna have to emphasize it, right so you understand what I'm trying
1:37
to say. It's not why God? Like why do we believe in God?
1:42
Is why God? Why do these things happen? That type of emphasis.
1:47
Amen. And I wrote in my notes because this is something that I
1:53
know it is gonna take. I can't do this all on one sitting on
1:57
the morning Devo because it's a huge topic. Hey man, but I said,
2:01
let me let me skim the surface, as I always doing this more
2:06
than Devo. So why do you think God allows believers to suffer? Believers?
2:12
I'm not talking about you know, bad people or people who are atheists
2:15
or people who do evil things. Why do we believers in Christ, the
2:22
body of Christ? Why do you think God allows believers to suffer? And
2:28
on top of that, what's the purpose of suffering? I wish I could
2:32
tell you that once you got saved, right, everything goes away, All
2:37
the problems go away. No issues in life, right, no trials,
2:40
no tribulation. I wish I could tell you that, but that's not the
2:44
case. And God knows our life and he knows we're going to have trials
2:49
and tribulations in this world, and Jesus promised that. But you don't see
2:53
a lot of people with t shirts that quotes Jesus promise that we will have
2:59
trouble in this world and trials in this world. That's the problems from Jesus
3:04
the Lord. But he's with us a man, in those troubles, in
3:07
those trials. So you know, it's okay, why God, why did
3:13
this happen? Why am I going through this? Amen? The people say,
3:16
oh, you can't question God, you can't question God. But it's
3:19
weird that when people say that. When you read the scriptures for yourself,
3:23
everybody in the scripture's question God. Amen. Pretty much all the popular characters
3:28
in the scriptures all questioned God, and what did God do? Other than
3:31
in the Book of Job, when Job questioned God, then God himself said,
3:37
okay, Joe, brace yourself like a man and let me ask you
3:42
questions Job and then boom, it was like all these questions to Job,
3:46
and I know Joe was like, oh, I don't know the answers to
3:50
none of those. Because God is sovereign, he knows the beginning from the
3:53
end to end, from the beginning a man, because he don't sit under
3:57
a calendar. He doesn't look at a calendar like we do. Amen.
4:00
He's an eternal being, internal God, and he loves you and he loves
4:03
me. So when you go to God and say why God, I believe
4:08
God has answers for why we suffer? Amen? And what is the purpose
4:13
of suffering? Here in the morning Devo this morning, just in case you
4:15
ever asked that, Amen, Just believe that, believe this. You're not
4:19
alone in asking that question. Hello, or we all ask that question every
4:24
now and then. God bless you as well. God bless you. Welcome
4:27
to the morning Devo. So listen, we're gonna be in Second Thessalonians,
4:34
Second Thessalonians Chapter one, Versus five and six, and the New Covenant.
4:39
Amen, on today's morning Devo, where we emphasize why God, not why
4:45
do we believe in God? But why God? Why do you allow believers
4:47
your children to suffer. And on top of that, what is the purpose
4:53
of suffering? Amen? There's a song that was released years ago by Christian
5:00
hip hop artists Amen, and the chorus says, you live, you suffered,
5:04
you die, You're born, you suffered, you die. That's the
5:08
way it was. And I still think about that. I said, man,
5:11
that's not really like a cheery type of chorus on inspirational chorus. But
5:15
when you look into scriptures, Amen, pretty accurate. Right. But the
5:21
thing is, we only die once. And I don't want to confuse people
5:26
who don't believe, but Christians listen to me, believes in christ system.
5:30
We only die once. You know, a person that doesn't have the Lord
5:32
Jesus living inside of them, they don't trust to him, they don't believe
5:35
in him. You know that they dies twice. That's another situation, Amen,
5:41
But it's in the scriptures. Look it up. But yeah, we're
5:44
gonna be in. Let me mind my business, right, be a second
5:46
Thessalonians Chapter number one, verses five and six. So let's pray first.
5:50
After we pray, we'll shit it out for like sixty seconds. Then when
5:55
we come back on the other side of those sixty seconds, we'll get right
5:58
into today's titled Why God on Second Thessalonian Chapter one Versus five and six.
6:04
So if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
6:09
don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat. That's what we're here
6:11
for. And if you want to leave the message on the podcast or through
6:16
Soul Winners, what it's either Orgy Celebrator Network. If you're listening over there,
6:20
go to the contact page. Amen, and let's connect. Let's stay
6:24
connected. Amen. Father, Thank you, Lord God for every single person
6:28
on the other side of the screen and on the other side of this mic.
6:30
Thank you so much for their lives. Thank you, Lord God for
6:33
encouraging them, supporting them, fulfilling their every desire, their dreams. Thank
6:39
you, Lord God for placing a word in our hearts. Mutually, Low
6:42
God as we read your word. But thank you, Lo God for me
6:45
and my family, for you guiding, guarding and protecting us as well.
6:47
And I pray the same blessing overflow blessing to every single person that's connected now
6:54
and we'll connect later to this morning. Devo. I pray Lord God that
6:58
you will show us and be the teacher that you are and explain how you
7:01
want to explain to us individually of why do we suffer? Well, God,
7:08
thank you, Lord God, for showing yourself, revealing yourself through your
7:11
word, through others, and through a personal revelation. For each, every
7:16
and every individual that's willing to listen to your word and take heed and apply
7:21
your word, give us a greater measure of faith. In the name of
7:25
Jesus, I pray a head of protection over all people in my family,
7:29
my whole entire blood line, from the very youngest to the very oldest,
7:32
and everyone in between. And I pray that same protection in the name of
7:39
Jesus over every single person on the other side of the screen and on the
7:42
other side of this might to our set forth arqueen angels, minister angels,
7:46
warring angels, to annihilate the tactics of the enemy, in the name of
7:48
the powerful God of heaven and Earth, the Lord Jesus Christ. So in
7:53
Jesus name, we pray this by faith, and all those who agree with
7:56
this prayer we say Amen and Amen. So let's take sixty seconds to help
8:01
me share this out. I'm going to be sharing as much as I can
8:03
as well. Amen. As a matter of fact, let me get a
8:05
quick head start here and share it on my storyline. This thing is it's
8:11
hard to share in sixty seconds, but you could keep on going and sharing
8:15
after the sixty seconds. It's just me. I like to get back to
8:18
the screen after the sixty seconds. Amen. So let's go for it sixty
8:22
seconds. When we come back, we'll get right into today's topic. Why
8:26
God, I'll be right back Amen. Amen. With that time it goes
9:41
by fast. So let's see what God has for us today, right now
9:45
in this moment, Amen, on this segment, God's faithful to his word.
9:48
And basically, if you to be honest, that's all we need.
9:52
We need the word of God because we know that without him we could do
9:56
nothing, but with him we could do all things. The Bible said.
10:00
The Lord says it, Amen, Holy Spirit. God reminds us of every
10:03
single word that was ardered to our spirit. And when you have work,
10:09
when you're walking around with a save soul, everything everything's different because God is
10:13
that good. Amen. So we don't have to worry, we don't have
10:16
to be anxious. Amen. We just have to trust God and believe in
10:20
God. The other day I was talking about like finance finances, and I
10:26
was I'm talking to a young brother in Christ, and I was like,
10:30
man, I don't understand why we, as believers in at least in my
10:37
region, we still have this issue with this money. We should be over
10:41
this money thing and be able to do everything that God wants us to do.
10:46
Money shouldn't be an issue. And I'm said, I'm like, I
10:50
was corning scripture, but I said, wait, I must be having doubt
10:52
in my life for because Jesus said we asked him and to do anything,
10:56
he will do it. But we can't doubt. So I'm asking God,
11:01
okay, help me with my doubt. I must be doubting somewhere along the
11:03
line when it comes to financial breakthrough because we're supposed to have it. We're
11:07
supposed to walk in it. We're supposed to be the lender, not the
11:11
borrower. We're supposed to be above, not below. We're supposed to be
11:13
moving in total victory, not just victory in certain areas, but in total
11:18
victory. Amen, So be mindful that I do this. Why God stuff
11:26
too? I do that, Amen. I know people say you're not supposed
11:28
to do that. That's disrespectful. No. I think when you read the
11:33
scriptures, you see a lot of the people in the Bible asking God,
11:37
like what's going on? Isn't that something that any human being will want to
11:43
know? Like? What's going on here? Now? I will say this,
11:46
though God is not obligated to answer any one of my questions or anyone
11:50
of your. He's not obligated, right. He will reveal what he wants
11:56
to reveal when he wants to reveal it. Amen. And if he wants
12:00
to reveal it, because maybe the answer that we're looking for, it will
12:03
be too much on this side of eternity for us to understand anyhow. And
12:09
God is not a god who's going to punish us, who's going to torment
12:13
us, none of that. So he'll probably just be silent in moments where
12:16
he knows that if we get certain answers to certain questions to soon, it'll
12:24
probably mess us up. And God's not here to mess us up. Amen.
12:28
God, blessed brothers, and we got a blessing coming in on Facebook.
12:31
Hey man, let me take a quick sip before we get into the
12:37
slide show for today's morning debo. Amen. All right, So it's like
12:46
I've prepared this on the screen. Let questions, right, if you just
12:52
joined us, here are the two questions. Why do you think God allows
12:54
believers talking about Christians, christ followers, children of the Men, children of
13:01
the Promise. Amen, We're not immune to suffering. Right, And I'm
13:09
gonna leave it right there. I'm not gonna say, well, if I
13:11
was God, I'm not gonna do that. I don't play those games.
13:13
That it is what it is according to the scriptures. We are going to
13:18
be in some situations here on this side of eternity because this is a broken
13:22
world. Amen. But God ultimately is going to fix everything. Amen.
13:28
He's not gonna leave us alone and abandoned. He's not going to just watch
13:33
us, you know, go away shut out to brother Nando and Brother Orlando
13:39
Garcia with us as well. Amen, I see you guys, So we're
13:46
in good hands'sychon Thessalonians, Hey man, let me put it on the screen
13:48
for those who are watching and for those who are just listening, no worries.
13:52
I want to read a word for word, so that way you don't
13:54
miss a beat. Amen. Everybody's gonna get the sauce today. So second
14:01
Thessalonians, chapter number one, Versus five and six. Ready, this is
14:11
evidence of the righteous judgment of God. God is the judge. When people
14:18
say, man, only God could judge me, they're right, and God
14:22
will. This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God. That you may
14:28
be considered worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering.
14:35
See that people in the Kingdom of God suffer here on this side of
14:41
eternity. And I don't think we're suffering in the Kingdom. We're suffering because
14:46
we're in a broken world. Since indeed, God considers it just to repay
14:54
with affliction those who afflict you. So in other words, yeah, he
14:58
sees our trials. The Lord sees that we're suffering, but he also sees
15:01
those who are causing their affliction. And guess what, God considers it just
15:07
to repay with affliction those who afflict you and me. I believe that's why
15:16
in this world so many people mock our God, the God of the Christians,
15:20
right, And they don't mock Muhammad. They don't mock any other religion
15:24
really that like they do Christianity. They mock our Lord. Why because we
15:30
respond with love and we respond differently. We're not getting up grabbing guns and
15:35
shooting everybody out because you disrespected my God. Other religions will do that,
15:41
And I believe that's why a lot of these people who are causing affliction and
15:46
are mocking our God, and they're outside of the kingdom looking in, they
15:50
just default to Christ and his followers to mock and to make ridicule and to
15:58
make fun. Amen. That's why see these artists on crosses and doing all
16:03
kind of crazy things and blasphemous things, right because they know that we're going
16:07
to respond differently. We respond to love. But what they don't know,
16:14
or maybe they do, they just don't fear God, is that God considers
16:18
it just to those who are paid with affliction, to those who afflict us.
16:26
This is the evidence of the righteous judgment of God. We're considered worthy
16:30
of the Kingdom of God. That's what the enemy does not want us to
16:36
understand. He doesn't want us to know when we go why God. The
16:38
enemy doesn't want us to listen to the answer. We're considered worthy of the
16:44
kingdom. People are going around saying I'm not worthy. Who said that you're
16:48
not worthy? That's what I want to know. Does God say you're not
16:53
worthy? Of the kingdom. You're not worthy of salvation, You're not worthy
16:56
of Where does it say that? Where do we get to? I know
17:00
for sure? In the Old Covenant, the prophets came and they were saying
17:04
some things, and they were prophesying over the people who God told them to
17:08
go and prophesy over. There was a lot of warnings going on. Right
17:14
then. You see in the Book of Revelation a lot of warnings and things
17:15
going on. But in between the Gospels and in between the Revelation and Genesis,
17:22
there's a threat of redemption, love, grace, mercy all through the
17:26
scriptures, and God is saying you are worthy. God's promises are all yeah,
17:32
and man, excuse me, and he will do what he says he
17:34
will do in your life. But we keep for whatever reason, as in
17:40
general, the Christian Church keeps beating ourselves down for some reason, we're like,
17:45
we're not worthy, We're not this, and we're not that. We're
17:49
saying everything that Jesus says we are. We're saying we're all right. That's
17:53
weird. We gotta be careful with that. Enemy is trying to convince us
17:59
otherwise, God bless you as well. Welcome to the morning Devo. So
18:04
wherever that's coming from, that you're not worthy, you're not good. We're
18:08
suffering because God is punishing us. Wherever that's coming from, go to the
18:12
scriptures for yourself and check if that's And I could guarantee you that once you're
18:21
born again, you're saved. God is not punishing us. As a matter
18:25
of fact, he took the punishment. Jesus took the punishment on himself,
18:29
punishment of the whole world on himself. Right, he dealt with the sin
18:33
that and put the sin on himself. Yet he himself did not sin.
18:37
He only did that once for all time once, and he doesn't have to
18:42
do that again. And he's not punishing you. He's not punishing me.
18:47
But there is a day coming for all those who afflicted us, who mocked
18:52
our God. The Bible says, don't be deceived, do not be deceived.
18:56
God is not mocked what a man shows. He would read what he
19:00
reaps it with. So you sow mockery, and you so ridicule, and
19:03
you downplay the Lord as being who he is, and you make fun of
19:07
Christians, and you slap Christians around, and you bully Christians around, the
19:14
law says, it's a day of repayment. It's coming to those who afflicted
19:18
us. Amen. So there's a purpose in there, right, there's a
19:23
purpose of why we suffer. This is a common objection right to the truth
19:32
of being a Christ follower and the existence of God. People go around saying
19:37
like this, and you know, rightfully, so, this is a good
19:41
question. If God truly exists, why do evil and suffering exist. That's
19:48
a good question, and it deserves an answer. The best way we can
19:52
answer, let's answer. Don't run from that. Amen. The scriptures talks
19:55
about afflictions. The scriptures talk about suffering. The scriptures talks about happened when
20:00
man kind sind or disobey the Holy God. And the Bible also says that
20:07
it wasn't Adam that was deceived, it was the woman Eve that was deceived.
20:11
That's another topic, a man, if you read the scriptures clearly,
20:15
you'll see what really happened. That's a good question. Or people say,
20:21
if God is truly good, why do God's people still suffer? These are
20:26
good questions. Man, don't back up off these questions because you and I
20:30
know that we suffer, and man, don't be too spiritual to be like,
20:33
oh no, we as Christians, we don't suffer. Don't lie.
20:37
Amen. There was a preacher who came to my church and I like what
20:40
he says. Name is Jamie Parr. Liked what he said. He says,
20:41
just tell the truth, right, just tell the truth and let everything
20:47
else lie and rest on the Lord's word. Amen. All will bow down
20:51
and confess that he is Lord. Amen. So I always plead with people.
20:56
You know, one day you get to bow down to the Lord anyway,
21:00
So why why not do it willingly right now when you have a chance.
21:04
The question is that we suffer. Why do we suffer? But we're
21:10
believers, so imagine unbelievers. It's the way the enemy paints the picture of
21:18
unbelievers living his life that is carefree. That they don't get touched by this.
21:22
They touched by that. They're in the in crowd. They got money,
21:25
fame, wealth, all that that's all a facade, because you do
21:29
know that one day that's all it to be gone. Amen. But let's
21:34
deal with why we suffer. Amen. If God is truly good, and
21:41
you know that's what I say every time I leave these money, that God
21:44
is good and it's not an if to me. I know he's good,
21:48
but this is a question. If God is truly good, and just why
21:52
do God's people, his world prechart truly go through suffering? So is it
22:00
right that God allows us follow us to experience pain and persecution? There is
22:06
a ministry in pain. Physically, when you feel pain in your body,
22:08
that's your body telling you that something's wrong. Spiritually, when you feel pain,
22:12
that's the Lord and Holy Spirit of God saying that's something going on.
22:17
A man. Pain is suffering is joining into right our pain and suffering,
22:23
joins into the pain and suffering that the Lord suffered and took upon himself.
22:29
So when we have that, Amen, I know it sounds weird, but
22:33
we actually joining in the pain and suffering that Jesus, our Lord suffered.
22:37
Amen, and he took it off for us. And we're gonna have this,
22:41
like I call it, like an after effect. A man of what
22:45
the world does a man. So, since we're in this world, but
22:48
we're not of this world, listen closely. We're in this world obviously,
22:52
but we're not of this world's system. We're a part of not the kingdom
22:56
of darkness. We're part of the kingdom of God. We belong to the
22:59
Kingdom of Light, the Kingdom of Goodness. Amen. The kingdom of this
23:03
world, yeah, they suffer as well, but the Kingdom of God.
23:07
Amen. Inside the Kingdom, we don't suffer. I believe is that we're
23:10
suffering because we're in this broken world. But we suffer differently. We go
23:14
through pain differently. We even mourn when we lose a loved one. We
23:17
more in differently. Why because we have a hope. World ain't got no
23:21
hope. What is the world hoping and trusting in? Amen? And who
23:25
is the world trusting in? Pretty much themselves? Right, or pretty much
23:29
any person who sets themselves up as some kind of a leader or guru,
23:33
or a rich person or movie star or an athlete. Amen. Good morning,
23:38
Good morning, God bless you. I can't see none of your names.
23:41
There's in the details amen, of wherever you're watching, whatever page you're
23:47
on. If you click and give me permission to see your name, I'll
23:49
be able to see your name. Amen. So, but God bless you,
23:52
Thank you so much for coming through. Sister Joyce, I see you.
23:55
Good morning, God bless you. Praise the Lord. Yes. So
24:00
is it right that God allows his followers to experience pain and persecution. I
24:07
mean God is a righteous judge. We already saw in the scriptures that he's
24:11
the righteous judge. Amen. And he's good. It's full of grace and
24:15
mercy truth. So hear a lot of people say that they believe that God
24:23
has deserted them because sometimes we go through some things and we feel like we're
24:27
still alone, and we need to remind at least I need to remind.
24:32
I can't speak for you. I remind myself daily. I'm never alone.
24:36
I could be in an island all by myself, but I'm never alone.
24:41
I have Holy Spirit of God living in me. Can't get closer to God.
24:44
When you have communion with Jesus through Holy Spirit, you can't get any
24:47
closer than that. Amen. I know people we like to say, oh,
24:51
we need to spend more time with God. So he's already inside of
24:53
every single believer. Amen. Just listen. He speaks. We have to
24:57
learn how to listen to what he's saying. Amen. The voice of Jesus,
25:03
the voice of Holy Spirit God is different than the voice of this world.
25:06
Most of the time the world is shouting you down, and most of
25:10
the time the Lord is speaking his still small voice, calm because he's not
25:12
moved by any circumstance. He's not angry, slow to anger, he's not
25:18
nervous. Right, He's not anxious. Amen. He's a pure, holy,
25:21
love and righteous God who loves you and loves me so much that he
25:26
speaks with a sound voice, a small voice. He quiets our spirit.
25:30
Amen. He speaks truth every single time. He loves us. He's full
25:34
of grace and mercy and compassion for us. So he knows when we're going
25:38
through pain and suffering. He knows, as a matter of fact, when
25:42
somebody's going through stuff like that. You know what I do. I kind
25:47
of like listen to what they're going through, and I listen to learn from
25:49
what they're going through. The Bible says that God is closest to the broken
25:53
hearted, those who are struggling, going through pain and suffering. Amen.
25:57
I gravitate to them and listen to their story because I know that God's going
26:02
to speak through them for what they're going through, and they're still believing,
26:04
still trusting God. That's power right there, Amen. And one day that'll
26:11
be me, one day that'll be you going through this crazy stuff that this
26:15
world has us going through Notice, I say, the world has us going
26:19
through this. God allows things to happen because ultimately he says that the people
26:25
who like bother us and not bother us persecute us or whatever you want to
26:30
call the word. There's a day of for payment, and God's going to
26:37
take care of that. That's why he says vengeance belongs to him. So
26:41
I know sometimes we want to take things in our own hands. So I'm
26:44
gonna get back at this person for doing this. That and the third Jesus
26:48
God's word, the Lord, the Father says no, don't do that.
26:52
I'll take care of it a man. And when God says he's gonna intervene,
26:57
step to the side. His gods going to do the best, do
27:00
it the best way, and man the perfect way. He's gonna handle his
27:03
business. Amen. We need to just mind our business, which is the
27:07
Kingdom of God. That's our business, the kingdom business, and let God
27:11
do what he does. Amen. That way we could stay out of the
27:15
way. We won't be part of nobody's pain and suffering. Amen. We
27:18
should never be the cause of somebody's demise. We should never be the cause
27:22
or celebrate when somebody's going through pain, even whether or not they deserve it
27:27
or not, whether we feel they deserve it or not. You know,
27:30
I've come along and I've seen some evil people do some evil things in this
27:36
world, and yeah, the thought comes and yeah, that's what you deserve,
27:38
amen. But I don't think that thought is coming from the Lord.
27:41
I believe that thought is coming from my consciousness. That's saying something's wrong and
27:47
they shouldn't be doing that, and they should get caught. Very simple example.
27:53
There's a place there's a speed trap along the way. When I go
27:57
to my pharmacy. You supposed to go thirty five miles an hour, and
28:02
I see people flying there. They they you know, they get behind you,
28:06
they cank the horn because I'm going to speed limit, but they want
28:08
to go sixty miles an hour. There's two lanes. I always in my
28:11
mind it's two lanes. Could go around, but I'm not getting no speeding
28:15
ticket for nobody else. So while people speed around me and honk the horn
28:19
and you know, give me the middle finger and all that stuff, in
28:22
my mind, I hope they get caught. And sometimes they do get caught,
28:26
But I always think, how about if I get caught doing like five
28:30
miles over the speed limit. I'm not gonna be too happy and I'm gonna
28:33
be like. The first thing I think I'll say to the office is,
28:34
man, you're gonna stop me for being five miles over when people go sixty
28:38
seventy miles an hour down the same road. Man, it's just human nature.
28:42
But I don't celebrate. I'll be honest. I'll celebrate when somebody gets
28:47
pulled over and gets that speeding ticket. But I am mindful that that could
28:52
be me if I break the law. Since the Joanne says I know how
28:55
it is to be in pain and that I went for a procedure the other
29:00
day and you wouldn't believe it. I took my dog with me in my
29:06
stroller that I had brought a while back, and when I got up from
29:11
the seat when they called my name to go back to the procedure, my
29:15
dogs started crying, excuse me. I think they sent that, Sue,
29:21
and God knows what we go through. They sense that too, and I
29:25
thank God for another day that it gives me. Amen. Amen. Yet,
29:27
dogs are definitely pets, and dogs are definitely in tune when we suffer.
29:33
As a matter of fact, if you notice that when you're sick,
29:37
your dog usually goes on the side of you, and just this there,
29:41
and men they have this instinct to be compassionate for their owners, amen for
29:47
their masters. So people think they've been deserted when they go through this pain
29:52
and suffering. But like my sister says, she thanks God for another day
29:56
that he gives her. And closely, sister Juanne goes through a lot of
30:02
things. And because she goes through a lot of things, you need to
30:04
listen to what she's saying. She's still giving God glory, honor, praise,
30:07
and worship through all her situations. And if you've been following us on
30:14
these morning DeVos and reading her comments, you'll notice the threads she always thanks
30:18
God. She knows something. A principle that I've taught and I've learned is
30:25
that no matter what, you still thank God. Why because God has the
30:30
perfect plan for your life and for my life. Whatever we go through,
30:33
people are watching us when we're in pain and suffering. They want to know
30:37
how we respond. As God's children. It should be different than how they
30:41
respond. And the world knows that. That's why you ever been in a
30:47
person's path, and they go, I thought you Christians was supposed to do
30:49
that. How did they know that? If they're not born again, they're
30:52
not Christians, But they know enough that we're supposed to be different than how
30:56
the world responds. We're supposed to respond differently in the world's then the way
31:00
the world responds to pain and suffering, just the way it is so in
31:04
today's verse, we were in right second Thessalonians. Paul said that the fact
31:10
that the Thessalonians was suffering for God's kingdom wasn't evidence that God had abandoned them.
31:17
The contrary, that's evidence that God's with them. Amen, Paul Russell,
31:22
God bless you. It's our souls that need to be made comfortable,
31:26
comfortable to Christ, conformable. I'm sorry, I'm reading these things from these
31:30
glasses on glary. Conformed to Christ. Yes, we're gonna be made to
31:36
be like Christ. Thank you for your comment. So, Paul said that
31:40
the fact that the Thessalonians the Christians were suffering for God's kingdom wasn't evidence that
31:45
God had abandoned them. On the contrary, it was actually evidence that God
31:49
was judging righteously and that he was on their side. If God before us
31:56
who could be against us? Right, So the Thessalonians had been considered worthy
32:02
of suffering for the Kingdom of God temporarily. This is a temporary time.
32:08
We're here. Right after we you know, people who make fun of Christians,
32:13
they're gonna be like man, I wish the Christians were here, because
32:15
when God takes us out of here and the spirit of God is off this
32:19
world, people wish that we were still here. They can make fun of
32:22
us all they want, but they don't understand that hell is not entirely breaking
32:27
out because we're here. The Holy Spirit God is still here walking through the
32:30
earth. That's the only reason why total hell hasn't broken out yet. I
32:36
asked used to pray for my sister Melody and take away all the pain that
32:39
she has because every time she tries to go out, her legs get out
32:45
on her and give out on her and she wants to fall police. Pray
32:52
for her in the name of You, Amen, Amen, will pray for
32:54
the pain, whatever pain she's going through, that she would get the understanding
32:59
and wisdom to deal with it. And whoever is taking care of our doctors
33:02
or whatever's going on, that God will inspire them and give them the knowledge
33:07
and understanding and wisdom that they need to help your sister in that situation.
33:13
In Jesus name, everyone is going to get what they deserve in the end
33:16
because God is perfectly just. So we suffer. It's only for it's not
33:23
permanent. That's good news. It's temporary. And those who are causing this
33:30
suffering and pain and trying to put things on us, Everyone's going to get
33:35
what they deserve in the end because God is a perfectly just God. Suffering
33:39
for the Kingdom of God is temporary, and those who are afflicted from here
33:44
on earth will be permanently, will afflict at us here on earth will be
33:49
permanently repaid. On the other side of that, a man, So,
33:52
I hope you getting what I'm saying now, A little says hey, saying
33:55
God, bless God, bless you as well, my brother, my friend.
33:58
Listen, I'm out of time, But go to second Thessalonians. Reachat
34:02
to one of the whole chapter for yourself. There's a lot there. Just
34:07
trying to skim the surface. It's a huge question why suffering, right,
34:09
that's a huge suffering, A huge question about suffering. Well, you know,
34:15
you can go to God, why God, and he'll send you to
34:17
His scriptures and you'll get the answers there. Amen. So I bless you
34:22
all the name of Jesus, God bless you. Got to keep you all.
34:24
Remember this that God is good. Peace the next time.
