“And sometimes we have more troubles when we become a Christian than we did when we were sinners. Of course, it is written, “Many is the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivereth him from them all.” God promised many afflictions, strange feelings and strange things that would be beyond our understanding, but it’s always done for our good.

Encouraged in Christ
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
“And sometimes we have more troubles when we become a Christian than we did when we were sinners. Of course, it is written, “Many is the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivereth him from them all.” God promised many afflictions, strange feelings and strange things that would be beyond our understanding, but it’s always done for our good. We just can’t understand it, because if we did, then it would not be of faith to us. We would go with an understanding. But we do it and we have it and we believe by faith His Word, that it’s going to work some good thing for us. If we could grasp that today, on this morning, if we could grasp that all of our troubles … (and there’s none of us immune from them), and if we could realize that those things are for our good!
It is written in one of the scriptures in the Bible, that trials are brought upon us are more precious to us than gold itself, for it is God giving us these trials. After we become His property, our confession and our baptism and our promise to walk in life for Him, then every trial that comes upon us is to perfect us for His glory. It’s to bring us to a place where God can make Himself more real to us than He was before the trial come.” WMB
“God lets disappointments happen, to show victory. Oh, if we could only see that! See? You’d only see that these things that seems to be so burring you, and upsetting you, they are trials. They are things, to stand still, focus your glasses on the Word of God. And speak the Word, and then just walk forward. That’s all there is to do it. We get to a time, we say, “God, I don’t know what to do. I’m up against it.” Speak the word, “Lord, I believe.” And just start walking forward. God does the opening up of the sea. You just keep walking. See?” WMB

“Dios permite que sucedan desalientos, para mostrar victoria. Oh, si nosotros únicamente pudiéramos ver eso. Si usted únicamente pudiera ver que estas cosas que parecen ser tan difíciles, y lo molestan a usted, son luchas. Son cosas para quedarse quieto, enfocar sus binoculares en la Palabra de Dios y hablar la Palabra, y luego solamente caminar adelante. Eso es todo lo que hay que hacer. Nosotros llegamos a ocasiones que decimos: “Dios, yo no sé qué hacer. Estoy contra la pared”. Hable la Palabra: “Señor, yo creo”, y empiece a caminar hacia adelante. Dios hace la apertura del mar. Usted solamente continúe caminando, ¿ve?” WMB
‘And God took that great chaos of darkness, and transformed it into a garden of Eden, see, by His Word. That’s how we’re transformed, by God’s Word. When God said, “Let there be light,” and that mass of creation out there come over in around the sun, and begin to revolve around the sun, and became a garden of Eden because it obeyed the Word of God. It done the perfect will of God, for it was transformed from chaos, into a garden of Eden, by the Word of God.” WMB

“Y Dios tomó ese gran caos de oscuridad y lo transformó en un Huerto del Edén, (¿ven?), por medio de Su Palabra. Así es como nosotros somos transformados, por la Palabra de Dios.Cuando Dios dijo: “Sea la luz”, y esa masa de creación que estaba allá, se acercó al sol, y empezó a girar alrededor del sol, y se convirtió en un Huerto del Edén, porque obedeció la Palabra de Dios. Ella hizo la perfecta voluntad de Dios,pues fue transformada de un caos, a un Jardín del Edén, por la Palabra de Dios.” WMB

“Sea valiente. No importa lo que venga, lo que pase, lo que acontezca, no deje que nada te acose. Solo parase allí como una roca de siglos, y Dios hará que todo salga bien”. WMB
“The Body of Christ is one Spirit, where every member from Pentecost to this time drinks of the same New Wine, the same Holy Ghost, bringing forth the same results. How do we do it? By one Spirit. It’s God’s open door, the Holy Spirit. What is It? It’s God’s open door; It’s a Sign; It’s a Seal; It’s a Comforter; It’s an Advocate; It’s an Assurance; It’s Rest; It’s Peace; It’s goodness; It’s healing; It’s Life; It’s–It’s God’s open Door to all these things. It’s God’s open Door to Christ which has… God proved that He raised up Jesus from the dead. And those that are dead in Christ will God bring with Him at the resurrection. “Grieve not the Holy Spirit whereby you are sealed into Christ until the day of your redemption.” WMB
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
Psalm 3:3-5
~
Mas tú, Jehová, eres escudo alrededor de mí; mi gloria, y el que levanta mi cabeza.
Con mi voz clamé a Jehová, y él me respondió desde su monte santo. Selah.
Yo me acosté y dormí, y desperté, porque Jehová me sustentaba.
Salmos 3:3-5

Salmos 100:3
“This great Creator, Saviour-God is faithfully working amongst His own right now as the great Shepherd of the sheep. His very existence is for His own. He loves them and cares for them. His eye is ever upon them. When the Word says that “your lives are hid with Christ in God” it means exactly what it says. Oh, I am so glad that my God abides faithful. He is true to Himself, He won’t lie. He is true to the Word, He will back it up. He is true to us, He will lose none of us, but raise us up in the last day. I am glad that I am resting in His faithfulness.” WMB

“Este gran Creador, Dios-Salvador, está obrando fielmente entre los Suyos en este momento como el gran Pastor de las ovejas. Su misma existencia es por causa de los Suyos. El los ama y los cuida. Su ojo está siempre sobre ellos. Cuando la Palabra dice que “vuestra vida está escondida con Cristo en Dios, significa exactamente lo que dice. ¡Oh, qué gozo tengo al saber que mi Dios permanece fiel! En Sí mismo es verdadero, y no miente. El es verdadero para con la Palabra, y la respaldará. El es verdadero para con nosotros, no perderá a ninguno sino que nos resucitará en el día postrero. Estoy gozoso reposando en Su fidelidad.” WMB
