Today's give away

Hi there Everyone,

Today, I have something very special for you. I'm giving away a free high quality Mp3 message to you. All you need to do is to download it.

There is no catch here, so take advantage of this free offer and tell all your friends about it too.

The message is..... "Understanding tests and trials". This message came to me during a time of questioning why certain things were happening in my life and what the word of God said about it.

So many of God's people walk around going through trials and tests and they know that the bible teaches us to resist the enemy and also to submit to God. The only problem is that people have the wrong view of who God is, so they end up just sitting back and allowing a situation to prevail in their lives thinking it is the Lord who is "Allowing" what is happening and that there is nothing that they can do about it.

This way of thinking can not be further from the truth.....

To give you a clue concerning overcoming in the trials of life, the following scripture is what I actually deal with in the message that you will download in a few minutes.

James 1:2-5

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Just let me explain something here.....

When James says that we must "Count" it all joy, what he was actually meaning here was this.

The Greek word for "Count" actually means - To take charge over......

What James was meaning here is that when we fall into different kinds of trials, we must first take charge over our joy. Joy is not a happening or a feeling, it comes out of an intimate relationship with Jesus who is our Joy. We are encouraged to put that joy to work.

The patience that James speaks of in our text is the word endurance. What he means here is that during a time when our faith is under trial, we need to put endurance to work.

The word perfect, means to display a level of maturity during the time of trial. Maturity is measured through endurance. Endurance says, "I'm not giving up on God no matter what the enemy throws at me".

If the trial of our faith came directly from God, then why would He invite us to ask Him for wisdom in the situation.

This wisdom is what He wants to give us in order for us to find the way out or the way through the trial. This is a practical kind of wisdom that God reveals during the trial to help us.

The moral of the whole story is this.... The enemy is the one who puts our faith up on trial, but God is the one who test our hearts.

Tests are different from trials.

Hope you have a blessed day....

Much love,

Rory
