THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH COMES WITH ADVERSITY

Romans 8:35-39 ~ “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written,
“For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;
WE were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
=====================
Every night I go to bed I wonder, “Is this the night when the world I know will be changed forever?” Every morning when I wake up I wonder, “Is this the day when things change forever?”
Each passing day is a test of patience and waiting, not knowing when the things I have been shown and/or told by the LORD will occur.
Each day that passes, when I don’t have clarity on my personal situation tests my peace, because I still don’t know if a job will open up for Me or is the LORD going to send Me out suddenly in His Commission and “regular employment” will not be something I do again. I don’t know the answer, so I must walk this out step-by-step and trust the LORD for His leading.
I was wondering this morning what I need to do. I want to be in the LORD’s will, yet I still don’t have clarity. I know others are going through their own version of, “what do I do now, LORD?”
Then I felt the LORD Jesus (Yeshua), speak this phrase in my spirit:
“The testing of your faith comes with adversity.”
I knew He also wanted to tell me more and I knew He wanted me to write what He was telling me, then share it with you today (7-26-19). The following is what the LORD had me write:
=====================
“The testing of your faith comes with adversity. Will you still trust Me when your world is turned upside down and inside out? My faithful sheep WILL hear My voice through the storms that will rage on your planet.
The testing of your faith comes with adversity.
The testing of your faith comes with adversity.
The testing of your faith comes with adversity.
I was tested by Satan in the desert; so shall My people be tested by the evil that WILL arise.
Do you trust Me in the storms?
The testing of your faith comes with adversity.
The quiet soothing of your soul WILL come in the midst of the testing, if you truly know Me and place your faith in Me.
The testing of your faith comes with adversity.
The place of refuge is in Me. It is NOT in your wealth, stored goods, abilities and talents. No!
I AM your refuge.
I AM your provider.
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
ONLY those who know Me, take refuge in Me and trust Me will pass the test that WILL arise globally.
Read the Bible.
Doesn’t it say the antichrist will be given all power to overcome the saints?
BUT I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.
I WILL help you through the darkness, the testing and the persecution that WILL come upon this planet.
Love not your life even unto death, as I did not love My life even unto death.
My people will be hated by ALL who do not know Me; this is written and so it will happen. My people, My people, will the Son of Man find faith upon the earth when I return?
Choose NOW to serve Me in the darkest hours that come suddenly, unexpectedly and with a fierce rage of the demonic, for in that darkest hour, you WILL find peace for your soul in Me.
The moment of destruction will come suddenly and swiftly upon this planet you call earth. I call it a sin-infested place of evil, yet I love humanity with My life.
The place of redemption is in repentance and turning fully back to Me.
Repent, My people. Repent.
Forsake evil and turn to the truth found ONLY in Me.
What are your idols? They are anything you turn to instead of Me and these WILL be cast down so your faith can be tested.
Forsake your trust in treasures, for these too will be removed so your faith can be tested.
Forsake your teaching of false hopes, for those will place stumbling blocks to My little ones who have fallen away. Repent and again I say REPENT!!!
The soulless ones are amongst you now, yet have not been given authority to cause full testing of the saints; this is coming, my people. Take time NOW to choose to trust Me in the darkness and evil, or you WILL fall away in the abyss of lies and deception that comes.
Fornication is not only physically, but it is spiritually when you turn away from Me to gain pleasure in your treasures. Oh faithless ones, did I not bless you as My children, yet you choose the baubles and trinkets for your pleasure rather than Me. Repent My people, REPENT!!!
The testing of your faith comes with adversity and yes it WILL come. Prepare your hearts in Me for the testing of My People WILL lead to a faith that is everlasting. A hope that can’t be shaken and a joy that is unspeakable to those who do not know Me.
Repent My people. REPENT!! For the days of your testing will come suddenly, unexpectedly and with such darkness that only in ME will you find light.
Take heed that you do not fail the testing of your faith, for many will fall away for they truly did not know Me and truly do not trust Me. Will you?”

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS:
Brothers and sisters in Christ, most of us truly want to see the miracles, signs and wonders, with many souls come into the Kingdom of Heaven in these final days. However, we must also prepare our hearts to endure as the first century church endured (and many are enduring right now in many parts of the non-“Western” world).
Let’s look at Scriptures to get an idea of what our siblings from that time said:
2 Corinthians 6:1-10 ~
“And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain— for He says,
“At the acceptable time I listened to you,
And on the day of salvation I helped you.”
Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 1:2-11 ~
“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.
For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life; indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.”
=====================
FINAL THOUGHTS:
If we truly are believers and followers of Jesus Christ (Yeshua THE Messiah), then we MUST prepare for suffering, persecution, hardship and love not our lives even unto death. This life is just a blip on the radar map of Eternity and just as the LORD shared with me and you today, “The Testing of Your Faith Comes With Adversity“. . . . And so it will come. I’ll end this post with these Scriptures for all of us to remember the truth found in them:
1 Peter 4:12-19 ~
“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner? Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.”
