(How To Handle The Trials Of Life)

Romans 8:18 (KJV)

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time

are not worthy to be compared with the glory which

shall be revealed in us.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to

them that love God, to them who are the called according to

his purpose.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us,

who can be against us?

VERY BRIEFLY WITH THE HELP OF THE

LORD AND THE GUIDIANCE OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT AND THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS

I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE

THOUGHT

(HOW TO HANDLE LIFE TRIALS)

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

THE WRITER OF OUR TEXT IS NONE OTHER

THAN THE

REVEREND DR PREACH BROTHER PAUL

PAUL THE SON OF A PHARISEE

WHO WAS REARED IN THE CITY OF TARSUS

THE CAPITAL CITY OF CILICY

ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY TARSUS

WHERE HE LEARN THE TRADE OF A TENT

MAKER

WENT ON TO THE UNIVERSITY OF

JERUSALEM WHERE HE STUDIED UNDER THE

GREAT GAMALIEL RECEIVED A DOCORATE

DEGREE IN JUDISIM

EARLY CHURCH HISTORY REVEALS THAT

PAUL COULD QUOTE THE 1ST 5 BOOKS OF

THE BIBLE VERSE BY VERSE

COULD EVEN SPEAK IN 14 LANGUAGES AND

HAD MASTERED 7

BUT HE HAD 1 PROBLEM WITH ALL THAT

EDUCATION

HE STILL DID`NT KNOW WHO JESUS WAS ON

THE DAMASCUS ROAD

AND AIN`T IT GOOD NEWS THAT WE SERVE

A GOD WHO CAN TAKE WHAT THE DEVIL

HAS MEANT FOR BAD AND MAKE IT WORK

OUT FOR YOUR GOOD

PAUL WRITES THIS LETTER TO THE ROMANS

WHILE ON A LAY OVER IN CORINTH

AND IN THE 8 CHAPTER OF THIS LETTER

PAUL GIVES US A SPIRITUAL PERSCRIPTION

ON HOW TO HANDLE THE TRIALS OF LIFE

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

PAUL HAS EXPERIENCE HIS FAIR SHARE OF

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO BE BLIND ON

THE ROAD OF DAMASUS

HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO WALK WITH A

LIMP AND HAVE A THORN IN HIS FLESH

THAT HE CALLED THE VERY MESSENGER OF

SATAN

HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO BE BEATEN

WITH RODS ,DESERTED BY FRIENDS ,SHIP

WRECK

HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO LIED ON TALK

ABOUT CHEATED AND MISTREATED AND

CALLED EVERYTHING EXCEPT A CHILD OF

GOD

NOW AS WE TAKE A CLOSER EXAMINATION

8

th

CHAPTER OF THE BOOK OF ROMANS

IT REVEALS THAT THE REASON WHY PAUL

WAS HAVING TRIALS

WAS THAT HE WAS BUSY DOING

SOMETHING FOR THE LORD

SPIRITUAL WARFARE COMES TO THOSE

WHO ARE BUSY ON THE BATTLE FIELD FOR

THE LORD

SEE IF ALL YOU DO IS COME TO CHRUCH ON

SUNDAY

THE DEVIL GOT YOU WHERE HE WANT YOU

WON`T COME TO

SUNDAY SCHOOL

BIBLE STUDY OR PRAYER MEETING

THEN THEY HAVE THE NERVES TO TELL

YOU

WELL AT LEAST I`M COMING TO CHURCH

BUT IT`S NOT ABOUT COMING TO CHURCH

BUT IT`S ABOUT BEING THE CHURCH

BECAUSE WHEN LIVES START CHANGING

SATAN GET `S MAD

WHEN ALCHOLICS THROW AWAY THERE

BOTTLES

WHEN DRUG ADDICTS PUT DOWN THERE

PIPES AND QUIT SMOKING BLOUNTS

WHEN HUSBANDS QUIT BEATING THERE

WIVES

WHEN PEOPLE GET OFF OF FACEBOOK AND

GET IN THE GOOD BOOK

SATAN GETS MAD AND SPIRITUAL;

WARFARE BEGINS

AND THE TRIALS START COMING

BUT IN THE TEXT BEFORE US PAUL GIVES US

SOME INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO HANDLE

THE TRIALS OF LIFE

AND THE 1ST THING PAUL TELL US IS WE

HAVE THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

IN OTHER WORD

YOU CAN`T LOOK AT YOUR SITUATION

FROM A PHYSICAL POINT OF VIEW

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT FROM A

SPIRTUAL POINT OF VIEW

BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A

PHYSICAL POINT OF VIEW

YOU FOCUS ON THE HERE AND NOW

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A

SPIRTUAL POINT YOU FOCUS ON THE THERE

AND THEN

Romans 8:18 (TLB)

18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory

he will give us later.

PAUL REVEAL TO US IT`S ALL A MATTER OF

PERSPECTIVE

BECAUSE IN THE MIDIST OF WHAT EVER YOU

ARE GOING THROUGH

YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT GOD IS STILL ON

THE THRONE

AND HE HAS THE WHOLE WORLD STILL IN HIS

HANDS AND

THAT GOD IS STILL A WAY MAKER

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is

common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer

you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the

temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able

to bear it.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

YOU ARE ABLE TO GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE IN

THE MIDIST OF WHAT EVER YOU ARE GOING

THROUGH

YOU ARE ABLE TO COUNT IT ALL JOY

BECAUSE IT`S NOT WHAT I`M GOING THROUGH
