CHAPTER SIXTY NINE

THE LORD SPEAKS ABOUT SUFFERING

My beloved people...

I desire to speak to you this day My words of encouragement as so many of you are suffering the fiery trials the enemy is bringing upon you.

BELOVED, DO NOT THINK IT STRANGE CONCERNING THE FIERY TRIAL WHICH IS TO TRY YOU, AS THOUGH SOME STRANGE THING HAPPENED TO YOU; BUT REJOICE TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU PARTAKE OF CHRIST'S SUFFERING, THAT WHEN HIS GLORY IS REVEALED, YOU MAY ALSO BE GLAD WITH EXCEEDING JOY.
1 PETER 4:12,13 NKJ

Many of you, My children, have emerged from a fiery trial, knowing that it brought you closer to Me and strengthened you. You rejoice in the knowledge that you have partaken in My suffering. Indeed you shall be glad with exceeding joy when My glory is revealed.

BUT EVEN IF YOU SHOULD SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE, YOU ARE BLESSED, AND DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THEIR THREATS, NOR BE TROUBLED. BUT SANCTIFY THE LORD IN YOUR HEARTS, AND ALWAYS BE READY TO GIVE A DEFENSE TO EVERYONE WHO ASKS YOU A REASON FOR THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU, WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR.
I PETER 3:14,15 NKJ

Blessed are you, My children, as you suffer for Me. Fear not nor be troubled as you go forth, boldly testifying of what I have done in your lives, giving unbelievers hope in Me.

FOR CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED ONCE FOR SINS, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, THAT HE MIGHT BRING US TO GOD, BEING PUT TO DEATH IN THE FLESH BUT MADE ALIVE BY THE SPIRIT.
I PETER 3:18 NKJ

Be always in remembrance that I suffered and died for each one of you, that your sins be forgiven and you have eternal life, bringing you to My Father, that you die to yourselves and live by the Holy Spirit who dwells within you.

THEREFORE, SINCE CHRIST SUFFERED FOR US IN THE FLESH, ARM YOURSELVES ALSO WITH THE SAME MIND, FOR HE WHO HAS SUFFERED IN THE FLESH HAS CEASED FROM SIN, THAT HE NO LONGER SHOULD LIVE THE REST OF HIS TIME IN THE FLESH FOR THE LUSTS OF MEN, BUT FOR THE WILL OF GOD.
I PETER 4:1 NKJ

My children, seek to be willing to suffer for Me for I tell you that as you suffer, sin loses its power over you and you are no longer bound by sin but free to do My will.

BUT THE END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND; THEREFORE BE SERIOUS AND WATCHFUL IN YOUR PRAYERS.
I PETER 4:7 NKJ

I say unto you, My children, the end of all things is at hand and I am calling you to serious prayer. There is still much fruit in the field awaiting the harvesters and you must be fervent in prayer for My direction. You must be fervent in prayer for every unbeliever who crosses your path, that they might be saved.

AND ABOVE ALL THINGS HAVE FERVENT LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER, FOR LOVE WILL COVER A MULTITUDE OF SINS. BE HOSPITABLE TO ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT GRUMBLING.
I PETER 4:8 NKJ

All across the land I have assembled My people to fellowship and to support one another. I exhort you to love one another, even as I have loved you. Be hospitable to one another for therein lies unity.

AS EACH ONE HAS RECEIVED A GIFT, MINISTER IT TO ONE ANOTHER, AS GOOD STEWARDS OF THE MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD. IF ANYONE SPEAKS, LET HIM SPEAK AS THE ORACLES OF GOD. IF ANYONE MINISTERS LET HIM DO IT WITH THE ABILITY WHICH GOD SUPPLIES THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BELONG THE GLORY AND THE DOMINION FOREVER AND EVER.
I PETER 4:10,11 NKJ

I have bestowed My gifts upon each one of My children and many of you are seeking the revelation of your gifts. As you truly seek My guidance I shall reveal My gifts unto you and will help you to manifest those gifts according to My will. I require of you that IF ANYONE MINISTER LET HIM DO IT WITH THE ABILITY WHICH GOD SUPPLIES. Never attempt to usurp My glory but always by the leading of the Holy Spirit within you.

YES, ALL BE SUBMISSIVE TO ONE ANOTHER, AND BE CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY, FOR GOD RESISTS THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
I PETER 5:5b NKJ

I call you, My people to come before Me with humbleness of spirit for My hand is against he who is proud. Be humble in your dealings with each other for pride brings disunity. Let love for each other prevail in your midst.

THEREFORE HUMBLE YOURSELVES UNDER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD, THAT HE MAY EXALT YOU IN DUE TIME, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM FOR HE CARES FOR YOU.
I PETER 5:6,7 NKJ

As you humble yourselves before Me I shall lift you up. You shall cast your cares upon Me knowing that I care for you.

BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT, BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. RESIST HIM, STEADFAST IN THE FAITH, KNOWING THAT THE SAME SUFFERINGS ARE EXPERIENCED BY YOUR BROTHERHOOD IN THE WORLD.
I PETER 5:8,9 NKJ

Be ever in remembrance that your enemy, the devil, is seeking to destroy My saints. You need have no fear for I have given you all power and authority over him and you need only to resist him. Never waver in your faith, knowing that My saints around the world suffer his attacks also.

BUT MAY THE GOD OF ALL GRACE, WHO CALLED US TO HIS ETERNAL GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED AWHILE, PERFECT, ESTABLISH, STRENGTHEN AND SETTLE YOU. TO HIM BE THE GLORY AND THE DOMINION FOREVER AND EVER.
1 PETER 5:10, 11 NKJ
