Before Your Breaktrough, God Will Give You These 7 Tests

hello dear friends I believe the Holy Spirit has led you to this video for a reason today we are going to talk about something incredibly important the tests that God puts us through in our lives these tests are not meant to break us but to build us to refine us and to strengthen our faith the devil on the other hand wants to keep us in the dark about these tests he wants us to lose hope to give up and to lose everything that God has planned for us but fear not because in this video we

will not only identify these seven tests but also provide Solutions rooted in God's word remember God is always watching over us and he will never give us more than we can handle now let's dive into the seven tests from God that you need to endure test number one the test of faith my dear friends enduring the test of faith is not easy this test is crucial because it forms the very Foundation of our relationship with God without faith it is impossible to please him there will be times when you feel like giving up when the

challenges seem too great to Bear but remember God is with you in every step he sees your struggles and knows your heart he is refining you drawing you closer to him and preparing you for greater things Hebrews 11:6 tells us without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those those who earnestly seek him this verse highlights how important faith is to God and how Central it should be in our lives faith is not just a feeling it's a decision to trust

God even when we don't understand what he is doing faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of Things Not Seen the Bible is filled with stories of great men and women who faced incredible trials and stood firm in their faith but let's also talk talk about how this relates to our lives today think about a time you had to trust God completely maybe it was a job loss A Health crisis or a broken relationship these moments test our faith deeply you may feel confused and wonder why God is asking you to go

through such a difficult situation but remember that God has a purpose for your trial now let's look at a powerful example from the Bible in Genesis 22: 1-2 God God asked Abraham to take his son Isaac whom he loved dearly to the land of Mariah and offer him as a burnt offering imagine the turmoil and confusion Abraham must have felt Isaac was the son of Promise the one through whom God said he would establish a great nation yet Abraham obeyed without hesitation he trusted that God had a plan and believed that God could even raise

Isaac from the dead if necessary in the end God provided a ram as a substitute for Isaac this story shows us the importance of unwavering Faith Abraham's willingness to trust God even when the command seemed impossible to understand demonstrated his profound faith and trust in God's plan my friends there will be times in your life when God asks you to step out in faith even when it doesn't make sense it could be a decision to leave a secure job move to a new city or trust him in a difficult relationship ship whatever the situation remember

Abraham and trust that God has a purpose for your trial when we focus on Jesus our faith is strengthened did you know that the word faith appears 336 times in the Bible this shows just how important faith is to God and how Central it should be to our lives faith is not just a feeling it's a decision to trust God even when we don't understand what he is doing friends enduring the test of faith is not easy there will be times when you feel like giving up when the challenges seem too great to Bear but

remember God is with you every step of the way he sees your struggles and knows your heart he is refining you drawing you closer to him and preparing you for greater things test number two the test of obedience my friends I am so proud of you for making it to test number two the devil does not want you to know about these tests because he knows that understanding them will strengthen your faith and help you overcome his schemes but here you are continuing on this journey to draw closer to God obedience to God is crucial

because it shows our love and trust in him without obedience our faith is incomplete my dear friends obeying God is not always easy there will be times when his commands seem difficult or even impossible but remember God's ways are higher than our ways he sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us in those moments when obedience feels challenging know that God is with you guiding you and giving you the strength to follow his will let's talk about Jonah a powerful example of the importance of obedience God commanded Jonah to go to the

city of Nineveh and preach against its wickedness but Jonah ran away from the Lord and boarded a ship hoping to escape God's command however God sent a great storm and Jonah ended up being being swallowed by a big fish after 3 days and nights in the belly of the fish Jonah prayed to God repented and was given a second chance to obey this time Jonah went to Nineveh and delivered God's message leading to the city's repentance and salvation Jonah's Story shows us that running away from God's commands only leads to more trouble but when we

choose to obey even after initially resisting God can still use us to accomplish his purposes my friends obedience to God brings blessings and peace while Disobedience leads to confusion and hardship think about your own life there might be times when God asks you to do something that seems difficult or inconvenient maybe he is asking you to forgive someone who has hurt you deeply to give up a habit that is not pleasing to him or to step out of your comfort zone to help someone in need these moments are tests of our obedience remember the words

of James 1: 22 do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves do what it says it is not enough to hear or read God's word we must also act on it obedience requires action and it is through our actions that our faith is made complete friends the test of obedience is a vital part of our spiritual journey there will be times when it feels difficult but trust that God's command plans are always for our good he sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us keep trusting him follow his guidance

and you will see his blessings in your life test number three the test of patience patience is not just about waiting it's about trusting God's timing and his plan even when it doesn't align with our own this test can be incredibly challenging especially when you're in pain or have been waiting a long time for God to answer your prayer prayers but remember in these moments God is with you he sees your struggles knows your heart and is using this time to refine you and draw you closer to him first let's turn to the Book of

James 1: 2: 4 consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters whenever you face Trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything these verses remind us that patience is not just about waiting but growing the trials we Face the waiting periods they are all working to build our character and Faith making us complete in Christ I know some of you might be in a season of waiting right now you've been praying for healing

for a job for a loved one to come to Faith or for a breakthrough in a difficult situation it's hard hard and sometimes it feels like God is silent but trust that he is at work even when you can't see it to illustrate this let's look at the story of Joseph in the Book of Genesis Joseph's life was full of ups and downs his brothers sold him into slavery and he ended up in Egypt he faced false accusations and was thrown into prison despite these hardships Joseph remained patient and faithful to God he didn't know

how long he would be in in these difficult situations but he trusted that God had a plan for his life after many years God elevated Joseph to a position of great Authority in Egypt where he was able to save many people including his own family from famine Joseph's story teaches us that even when it seems like nothing is happening God is at work behind the scenes our patience allows God to complete his work in us and prepare us for the blessings he has in store think about your own life there might be times when you're

waiting for a job opportunity a healing or a relationship to be restored waiting can be frustrating and discouraging but it's in these moments that God is teaching you patience and Trust he is preparing something far greater than you can imagine consider a time when you had to be patient maybe you were waiting for an important job offer or for a difficult season in life to pass the waiting might have felt endless but in the end you saw how God's timing was perfect and his plan was better than anything you could have orchestrated another encouraging verse

is Isaiah 40:31 but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength they shall Mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint waiting on the Lord renews our strength and helps us rise above our circumstances friends the test of patience is a vital part of our spiritual ual Journey it teaches us to trust God's timing and his plan for our lives while waiting can be difficult it's important to remember that God is at work even when we can't see it keep trusting him remain

patient and you will see his blessings unfold in your life test number four the test of sacrifice I'm so proud of you for continuing this journey with me and reaching test number four this test is characterized many times in the Bible and is a very important part of our spiritual growth if you haven't already please subscribe to our channel so you can stay connected and encourag through God's word the test of sacrifice asks us to give up something valuable or important to us for the sake of following God's will it can be a difficult and

painful test but it's one that deepens our relationship with God and demonstrates our trust in his plan sacrifice is a powerful Act of Faith and love for God my friends I know some of you might be struggling with this test right now you might be holding on to something or someone that God is asking you to let go of it could be a job a relationship a habit or even a dream the idea of sacrificing something so dear can be overwhelming and scary but remember God never asks us to give up something without having a

greater plan for our lives let's turn to a profound example of sacrifice in the Bible in mark 10:1 17-22 we read the story of the Rich Young Ruler this young man came to Jesus and asked good teacher what must I do to inherit eternal life Jesus listed the Commandments and the young man said he had kept all of them since he was a boy then Jesus looked at him with love and said one thing you lack go sell everything you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven then come follow

me the young man's face fell and he went away sad because he had great wealth this story highlights the challenge of sacrifice the Rich Young Ruler was willing to follow the Commandments but when it came to sacrificing his wealth he couldn't do it Jesus was not condemning wealth but was highlighting the young man's attachment to his possessions which prevented him from fully following Jesus think about your own life what might God be asking you to sacrifice it could be a material possession a relationship or a personal ambition the sacrifice might seem immense but God's promise

is even greater when we let go of what we hold dear we make room for God to work in our lives in ways we could never imagine consider a time when you made a significant sacrifice maybe you gave up a lucrative job offer to follow a calling that God placed on your heart the decision might have been tough and the path uncertain but in the end you saw how God used your sacrifice for a greater purpose in Romans 12:1 Paul urges us therefore I urge you brothers and sisters in view of God's mercy to offer

your bodies as a Living Sacrifice holy and pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship our lives are to be living sacrifices dedicated to God's service this means continually offering up our desires and plans in exchange for his will another encouraging passage is found in Luke 9:23 where Jesus says whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me sacrifice is a daily Act of surrender a continual process of Letting Go and trusting God friends the test of sacrifice is not easy but it is essential

for our spiritual growth it teaches us to trust God completely and to put his will above our own while the sacrifice might seem great the blessings and fulf fillment that come from following God's plan are far greater test number five the test of forgiveness we know that God tests us to see how we as his children will react James 1: 2:4 reminds us consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters whenever you face Trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance let perseverance finish its work so that you

may be mature and complete complete not lacking anything God uses these tests to refine us to strengthen our faith and to draw us closer to him forgiveness is not just about releasing others from their wrongs it's about freeing ourselves from the burden of bitterness and resentment it's a command from God that requires us to let go of the hurts and injustices we have experienced and to trust God to bring healing and Justice in his own time and way my friends I know that some of you might be holding on to pain and hurt caused by

others it could be a betrayal by a close friend a family member's harsh words or an unfair treatment at work these wounds Run Deep and the thought of forgiving the person who caused them can seem impossible but remember forgiveness is a powerful Act of Faith and obedience to God let's look at a powerful example of forgiveness in the Bible in the Book of Matthew Jesus tells the parable of the unforgiving servant Peter came to Jesus and asked Lord how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me up to seven times

Jesus answered I tell you not seven times but 77 times think about your own life who might God be asking you to forgive it could be someone who has hurt you deeply someone you have been holding a grudge against for years forgiveness does not mean that what they did was okay but it means releasing your right to seek revenge and trusting God to handle it consider a time when you forgave someone the decision to forgive might have been difficult but afterward you felt a weight lifted off your shoulders and experienced a sense of peace that

only God can give forgiveness is not just for the benefit of the other person it is for your healing and freedom in Colossians chap 3:13 it says bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone forgive as the Lord forgave you this verse reminds us that our capacity to forgive comes from understanding how much we have been forgiven by God another encouraging passage is found in Ephesians 4: 31-32 get rid of all bitterness rage and anger brawling and slander along with every form of malice be kind and

compassionate to one another forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you letting go of bitterness and choosing kindness and compassion is a powerful way to reflect God's love friends the test of forgiveness is not easy but it is essential for our spiritual growth it teaches us to trust God completely and to live in the freedom and peace that forgiveness brings while forgiving someone who has hurt you might seem impossible remember that with God's help all things are possible right now now if the holy spirit is revealing names to you forgive them chains are

being broken in the darkness when you choose to forgive your act of forgiveness is not just an emotional release it's a spiritual breakthrough it's God's way of setting you free from the bondage of bitterness and allowing his light to shine through you as you forgive you are breaking the chains that the enemy is tried to use to keep you bound test number six the test of integrity Integrity is about being honest and having strong moral principles it's about doing the right thing even when no one is Watching God tests our integrity to see if we

are truly living out our faith in every aspect of Our Lives it's a test that reveals our true character and our commitment to God's ways my friends living with Integrity is not always easy there will be times when you are tempted to take shortcuts to lie or to compromise your values but remember God sees everything he knows your heart and your actions Integrity is about staying true to God's standards no matter the cost let's look at a powerful example of Integrity in the Bible in the Book of Daniel chapter 6 we read about Daniel in

the Lion's Den Daniel was a man of great integrity and faithfulness to God he was promoted to a high position in the Kingdom of Darius because of his exceptional qualities however some jealous officials wanted to bring him down they could not find any corruption in him because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent so these officials devised a plan to trap Daniel using his faith they convinced King Darius to issue a decree that anyone who prayed to any God or human being during the next 30 days would be thrown into the lion's den despite

knowing about the decree Daniel continued to pray three times a day giving thanks to God just as he had always done when the officials caught Daniel praying they reported it to the king reluctantly King Darius ordered Daniel to be thrown into the lion's den but God protected Daniel he sent an angel to shut the mouths of the Lions and Daniel was unharmed the next morning the King was overjoyed to find Daniel alive and ordered him to be lifted out of the den The Men Who falsely accused Daniel were thrown into the lion's den and they

were immediately devoured Daniel's Story shows us that integrity means staying faithful to God even in the face of danger Daniel chose to honor God rather than compromise his values to save his life God honored Daniel's integrity and protected him think about your own life are there areas where you might be tempted to compromise your integrity it could be in your workplace in your relationships or even in your personal habits remember integrity means doing the right thing even when it's hard or when no one else is watching consider a time when you had to make a

tough decision to uphold your integrity maybe you chose to tell the truth even though it had consequences or you refused to go along with something that went against your values upholding your integrity might have been challenging but in the end you felt peace knowing you honored god with your actions in Proverbs 10:9 it says whoever walks in Integrity walks securely but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out walking in Integrity gives us a secure foundation and peace of mind knowing that we are living in alignment with God's principles Integrity not only protects us but

also draws us closer to God as we put our hope and trust in him friends the test of Integrity is vital for our spiritual growth it challenges us to live out our faith consistently and to honor God in all that we do while it may be difficult at times remember that God is with you and he sees your faithfulness my dear friends I am so proud of you for staying with us on this journey and making it to the last test in this video this is by far the most important one and it will shock

you how powerful it can be if you handle this test well in your personal life test number seven the test of love love is the very essence of God's character and it's the greatest commandment he has given us in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:13 it says and now these three remain faith hope and love but the greatest of these is love this test challenges us to love others as God loves us even when it's difficult my friends love is more than just a feeling it's an action it's about showing kindness patience and forgiveness to others even

when they don't deserve it it's about putting other needs before our own and seeking the best for them this test will truly reveal the depth of your faith and your relationship with God think about your own life who might God be asking you to love more deeply it could be a family member a neighbor a coworker or even a stranger love means showing kindness patience and forgiveness even when it's hard consider a time when you went out of your way to show love to someone maybe you helped a stranger in need forgave someone who hurt

you or spent time with someone who was lonely these acts of Love might have been challenging but they brought you closer to God and reflected his love to others reflect on the relationships in your life are there people you find difficult to love perhaps someone has hurt you deeply and the idea of loving them seems impossible remember love is not about approving of someone's actions but about choosing to show them Grace and compassion just as God shows us in John 13: 34-35 Jesus says a new command I give you love one another as I have

loved you so you must love one another by this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another our love for others is the evidence of our discipleship and our relationship with God thank you for joining me on this journey through these seven tests from God I hope you have been encouraged and strengthened in your faith if you found this video helpful please like share and subscribe to our Channel let us know in the comments how we can pray for you as you face these tests in your own life remember God
