Tribulation

A true believer will go through many tribulations in this life within this world but this same believer going through these tribulations is living the same life Messiah had went He was here on earth. Although the believer is going through these bad times their will always be peace within through Messiah.

John 16:33: “These things have I spoken to you that in Me (Messiah) you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer – I have overcome the world.”

Wonderful news!

I John 5:4: “And this is the overcoming that overcomes the world – even our faith.”

Acts 14:22, the Apostle Sha’ul (Paul) said “It is through much tribulation that we must enter the Kingdom of Elohim.”

We have to go through these tests, not only to build our faith but also to test our faith.

Philippians 1:29, Sha’ul (Paul) also wrote: “…it has been given to you as a favor (grace) on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in Him, but to suffer for His sake.”

Yahuah tests and disciplines us so that we will learn to overcome and endure. But most is on obtaining a life of ease and comfort. Thus, few are prepared for what is coming!

If we do not allow the Spirit of Yahuah to discipline and test us, we are not His children.

Read Hebrews 12:5-14 it is all about Abba Father testing and disciplining His children. And you have forgotten the appeal which speaks to you as to sons, “My son, do not despise the discipline of Yahuah, nor faint when you are reproved by Him, for whom Yahuah loves, He disciplines, and flogs every son whom He receives.” If you endure discipline, Elohim is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become sharers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Moreover, we indeed had fathers of our flesh disciplining us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? For they indeed disciplined us for a few days as seemed best to them, but He does it for our profit, so that we might share His apartness. And indeed, no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. So, strengthen the hands which hang down and the weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, lest the lame be turned aside, but instead, to be healed. Pursue peace with all, and pursue apartness without which no one shall see the Master.

This is the purpose of Him disciplining us, “flogging” us: to set us apart, so that we bear the fruit of righteousness. He did the same to Israel – see Deuteronomy 8:2 “And you shall remember that Yahuah your Elohim led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, prove you, to know what is in your heart, whether you guard His commands or not.

If we do not allow Yahusha (Jesus) in us to bring us to set-apartness, so that we bear the fruit of righteousness, it would prove to have been all in vain – we shall not see Him!

If we are not tested and disciplined, we may not make it through the tribulation.
