Prophetic Voice Title: Suffering

People suffer for many reasons. Some good and some bad. We all suffer sometime or other. Woman suffer with labor pains before giving birth. Think back when you became a Christian. Many have suffered by people rejecting them. Many thought it would be easy to witness to others. We all have faced rejection. Charles and I were doing full time ministry for four years; we had more close doors then open doors. We suffered, but it was a good suffering, because we were doing the work the Lord has called us to do.
SAINTS: God never promised us an easy life to those who walk with Him. One thing I know, the narrow path leads to eternity, the wide path leads to destruction.
“My Dear Children why do you think you are exempt from suffering. If everything was given to you on a silver platter you would not survive rejection. My twelve disciples suffered. 
Look at My Servant Job. He lost everything, but He did not give up on Me. Even his friends that came to visit and encourage him did the complete opposite. They told him to confess his sin. How could he confess his sin if he did not sin? This is what happens when people try to convince you that you are wrong, and they are right. Look at my servant Peter. He was crucified upside down on the cross, because he didn’t feel worthy to be crucified the way My Son was. Look at all my prophets. They were mocked and ridicule by many.
Yet, many of you complain and say over again ‘it’s not fair.’ Why do you feel you are better than others that suffer for Me? They knew they would suffer, but they also knew they would spend eternity with Me, says the Lord.”
Romans 8:17-18 “And since we are His children we are His heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering. Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later.”
James 1:2-4 “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
1 Corinthians 1:4-5 “He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God Has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with His comfort through Christ.”
