The Affliction, then the Purpose

The Affliction the Healing, T

Then the Purpose?

After you have endured suffering ,after you have suffered the pain and disappointments then I believe it is time to find purpose. Sometimes after God heals us of something we can linger to long at the memory of that thing. And find ourselves intwined again in that pain.When David begin to cry about the stealing of his wife and family the bible says he cried until he had no more power to weep. After awhile he stopped crying dryed his eyes enquired of God then he pursued his destiny. But had he continued to cry he would have never recovered all. You have to stop crying tell yourself I won’t cry any more. It is time for my destiny.

Because I believe God allows things to happen in our lives for a reason.

As Saints of God we have tests and trials, they usually last a short time. However, afflictions are long periods of entense pain and suffering. The bible says, I

When I think of affliction I think of Job. The bible says Job was a perfect man.

The book opens with description of Job’s character.Read -5Job is described as a perfect man. I think in the Bible.God inquires of the devil as to where he has been. I think this is significant because God is omnisence he knows everything so why would he ask Satan where he has been. For our benefit.So we will know what the devil is up to. He seeks us, he’s looking for someone he can over He knows he can only go as far as God lets him.God singles Job out.God does what I like to call “mark” Job for troubleEver feel like God has marked you.I am happy to know even though he marks you. He marks you with boundaries.I asked myself why does God bring affliction the bible says “ I the lord , I kill Even though he doesn’t Power belongs to God. Powers that be are ordained of God.God is the power source. I looked at my own life. I questioned God about itMaybe you have never asked God that can of question. But I have been to broken and torn up inside that the only answer that would suffice, the only answer that would make me feel better was God. I didn’t want to hear any one’s theology. Or they opinion I need to talk to God. Because only he could heal the wound in my heart.Once that affliction has come and gone. God heals you. The question is Where do we go from her.I look at my own life . I look at the things I had to endure. I asked God why? I read . Lord what is good about my losses. What is God about someone being raped as a child. Someone losing their job. What is God about someone contracting aids.What’s the good in thatI realized that it was all perspective. The thing in itself is not Good . But the Good is for the kingdom of God. Since I have suffered I know what it feels like to cry myself to sleep. I know what it feels like to lose my best friend. I can help someone else. I can build the kingdom of God. That ‘s what God wants us to do is to build his kingdom.He custom designs our test trial or affliction so that when it is over we will fit into his master plan for our ministry.Read Job at the beginning of Job he prayed for his children after the instruction of god he he stopped being ego-centered concerned about himself but became God-centered started thinking about the things of God. Let me challenge you if you are faced with something you asked God for and doesn’t seem to answer then turn it around Become God –centered see if he will not deliver you. Have you ever noticed that when you stop worrying God about something and just serve him. He grants your requests.I was praying to God for the healing of my son.\The Lord asked me If I never heal him will you still love me.I said lord I will always love you God was trying to get me to kingdom centered because like loved my familyGod was trying to get ministry out of me and purpose.Do you know what your purpose is in God.Do you know what god wants to do in youYou may know you are called to preach but are you called to evangelizeI don’t want to suffer and then not make my divine appointment.Time is short and people are dying and going to hell.Are you walking in your divine destiny.I believe if you are saved God has called you to work in his kingdomHow many souls could have gotten delivered because of your testimony?You WERE AFFLICTED YOU ARE HEALED NOW WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE
