The Things We Go Through
1 Peter 4:12-13 (KJV)
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is
to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings;
that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with
exceeding joy.
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF
SAYING IF IT`S NOT ONE THING IT`S
ANOTHER
HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF DOING THE RIGHT THING
LIVING THE RIGHT WAY
DON`T BOTHER NOBODY
MIND YOUR OWN BUSSINESS
STRIVE TO HAVE A GOOD NAME
A GOOD REPUTATION
AND SOMETIME WE BEGAN TO WONDER
IS THERE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE
TUNNEL
(ANYODY EVER WALK DOWN THAT STREET )
BUT IT`S IMPORTANT THAT WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD UNDERSTAND
THAT WHERE THE WILL OF GOD TAKES US
THE GRACE OF GOD WILL PROTECT US
IN OTHER WORDS
IT`S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS
ONLY TO YOU BUT CHRIST PROMISED
SUFFERING
NOTICE WHAT PETER SAYS IN THE TEXT
"Beloved [In other words, saved folks, born
again people of God], think it not
strange concerning the fiery trials which is to try
you."
AND WHAT HE IS TELLING US IS – DON`T
GET UPSET WHEN THINGS HAPPENS
BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT HAPPENING TO
YOU
BUT IT`S HAPPENING TO OTHERS AS WELL
BUT HE SAYS ---BUT REJOICE
NOW WHENEVER YOU SEE THE PREFIX
RE
IT MEANS TO DO AGAIN
WHAT YA SAYING PETER
WHITE TELL THEM
BEFORE THEY WAS GOING THROUGH THE DARK DAYS AND LONELY NIGHTS
BEFORE THEY RECEIVED THE BAD NEWS
FROM THE DOCTOR
THEY NEED TO GO BACK AND RE-DO WHAT THEY WAS DOING BEFORE THE DARK DAYS -LONELY NIGHTS
AND BAD DOCTOR REPORT SHOWED UP AT THERE
DOOR STEP
WHAT YA SAYING PETER
WHITE TELL THEM THEY NEED GO BACK AND REJOICE AND GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
NOW I NEED TO TELL YOU
YOU CAN`T RE DO WHAT YOU HAVE NEVER DONE
BECAUSE IT`S IMPOSSIBLE TO REJOICE IF YOU DON`T HAVE JOY
BECAUSE JOY DOES NOT MEAN HAPPINESS
BUT JOY IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE
IT`S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO
AND IT SURE NOT BASED ON THE TYPE OF INSTRUMENT BEING PLAYED
OR THE SONG THAT IS BEING SONG
OR HOW GOOD YOU CAN DANCE OR
SHOUT
BUT JOY IS A STATE OF BEING
IN OTHER WORD
JOY IS BASED ON WHOMS YOU ARE AND WHO`S YOU ARE
IN OTHER WORDS IF YOU GOT JESUS
AS LORD OF LORDS AND KINGS OF YOUR LIFE
IF YOU KNOW HIM AS THE LILY OF THE VALLEY YOUR BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR
THE APPLE OF GOD`S EYE WHO IS FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH
YOU GOT JOY
NOTICE—NOTICE ---NOTICE
WHY PETER SAYS RE-DO WHAT WE WAS DOING BEFORE THE TRIAL SHOWED UP
BECAUSE EVERYTHING OF VALUE MUST BE TESTED TO PROVE IT`S WORTH
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
A SOLDIER IS TESTED BY THE BATTLE A STUDENT IS TESTED BY THE EXAMINATION TEST
AND WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD ARE TESTED BY OUR TRIALS
AND THE TRIALS ARE NOT MEANT TO BREAK US
BUT TO MAKE US
THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO DESTROY US
BUT TO DEVELOP AND STRENGHTEN US
CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
A TREE THAT IS SAFE TO CLIMB IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN TESTED BY STRONG WINDS
AND GOD ALLOWS THE STRONG WINDS & TRIALS
TO BLOW IN OUR LIFE
TO MAKE US MORE MATURE AND LOYAL CHRISTIANS
YOU SEE
NOAH WAS TESTED BY THE FLOOD
JOSEPH WAS TESTED IN A EGYPTIAN PRISON
MOSES WAS TESTED BY THE RED SEA
JOSHUA WAS TESTED BY THE WALLS OF
JERICHO
AND JUST AS A WHETSTONE SHARPEN AN AXE
OUR TRIALS SHARPENS OUR FAITH IN GOD
JUST LIKE A PLOW HELPS PREPARE THE SOIL FOR PLANTING
TRIALS PREPARE US TO BE USE IN A MIGHTY WAY BY GOD
JUST LIKE A POLISHING WHEEL GIVES THE DIAMOND IT`S VALUE
TRIALS GIVES BEAUTY TO A CHILD OF GOD
JUST AS A SURGEONS KNIFE CUTS AWAY THE DISEASED FLSEH
TRIALS HELPS US REMOVE THINGS IN
OUR LIFE WHICH DISHONOR GOD
JUST LIKE BOILING WATER BRINGS OUT
THE FLAVOR IN TEA
TRIALS BRING OUT THE SPIRITUAL BEAUTY IN US
WHAT ARE YOU TELLING US HERE PETER
TELL THEM IN THIS LIFE WE ALL HAVE
TO SUFFER TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
WE ALL HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME THINGS
BUT WE MUST REMEMBER TO RE—DO
WHAT WE WAS DOING BEFORE THE TRIAL CAME
AND THAT’S REJOICE
AND THE REASON WE CAN REJOICE IS WE GOT JESUS
OUR JOY IN SORROW
OUR HOPE FOR TOMORROW
A ROCK IN A WEARY LAND
A SHELTER IN THE MIDIST OF A STORM
BUT THE REAL REASON WE CAN REJOICE IS
ONE DAY AROUND THE THRONE IN GLORY
GOD TOLD THE ANGELS TO GO THROUGH AND FRO
AND FIND SOME ONE TO GO MAN BAIL
COME HERE NOAH GOD WANTS YOU TO
GO MAN BAIL
I HEARD NOAH SAY I CAN`T GO MAN BAIL (EXPOUND)
COME HERE ABRAHAM GOD WANTS YOU TO GO MAN BAIL
I HEAR ABRAHAM SAY I CAN`T GO (EXPOUND)
COME HERE JACOB –(EXPOUND)
COME HERE MOSES-(EXPOUND)
COME HERE DAVID-(EXPOUND)
JUSTICE HAD THE GAVEL OF TIME IN HIS HAND
AND I HEARD JUSTICE SAY THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH
BUT I HEARD JESUS SAY THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE
FATHER IF YOU FIX ME A BODY I GO MANS BAIL
GOD PUT HIS SON ON HEAVENS ELEVATOR
HE STEPS OUT OF ETERINTY INTO TIME
COMES DOWN THROUGH 42 GENERATIONS
AND THE BOTTOM FLOOR WAS A VIRGIN NAME MARY
BORN IN BETHELHEM
REARED IN NAZARETH
BAPTIZED IN THE JORDAN
TEMPTED IN THE WILDERNESS
BETRAYED BY ONE OF HIS OWN
THEY LED HIM UP A MOUNTIAN CALLED CALVARY
AND NAILED HIM TO A CROSS
HE DIED ON THAT CROSS
ANYBODY KNOW HE DIED
HE DIED FOR THE SUN BLEW A FUSE AND REFUSE TO SHINE
HE DIED FOR THE EARTH ROCK AND REEL LIKE A DRUNK MAN
HE DIED FOR THE GRAVES STARTED VOMITING UP THE DEAD
WHO FORM A MARCH DOWN THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM
HE DIED FOR A ROMAN SOLDIER PREACH HIS HOMEGOING CELEBRATION
AND HE USE FOR A TOPIC
SURELY-----SURELY THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD
BUT I`M GLAD THIS IS NOT HOW THE STORY ENDS
BECAUSE EARLY ----I SAY EARLY --------E--A--R--L--Y--
SUNDAY MORNING HE GOT UP
ANYBODY KNOW HE GOT UP
HE GOT UP WITH ALL POWER IN HIS HANDS
