That sometimes within problems are promises. Within the adversities are the purposes. Within the difficulties are the promises.
I can't see because my eyes are focused on the moment. And the moment is difficult. The moment is of struggle.
And when I look at what I live, I don't believe in what God has promised. But in fact, the moment I am living He is preparing the promise to be fulfilled in my life. I'm saying that within problems are purposes.
God allows difficulties so that His promises are fulfilled on our home. How am I going to know a God who exalts me if I am not humiliated? How am I going to know a God who opens the door if there is no closed door?
How am I going to know the God who heals if I don't get sick? How am I going to know the God who lifts if I don't fall to the ground? How am I going to need a miracle if I don't have something impossible?
I'm saying that this problem is part of the process so that what He promised is fulfilled about your house. Only you need to change the optics of how you see things. God does not allow the problem because He wants your harm.
God does not allow suffering because He wants your harm. In fact, God allows the problem so that you can grow. Even because no one matures smiling.
I said that no one grows up smiling. Problems generate spiritual maturity for you. You don't grow up on feast days.
It is the adversities that teach you, that project you, that generate growth for your spiritual life. Every time God says that He will exalt you, you will be humiliated. Every time He says the door will open, get ready because doors will close.
Every time God tells you that you're going to grow up, get ready to get tiny. If God told you that you were going to have a great ministry, that you were going to travel a lot, that you were going to have a lot of money, that you were going to have a great marriage, that you were going to be very happy, get ready to go through the desert, get ready to go through the valley, get ready to go through a crisis you've never experienced. .
. No, no, no. .
. God doesn't allow the problem because He wants your bad. God allows the problem because He knows the only way you can grow is with the desert.
But you and I need to learn to persevere in faith. But if we use the faith we have, God will help us achieve what we don't have yet. God does not answer needs.
He answers faith. Many times we think that because we need something God will do it because we need it. God does not answer need He answers faith.
Every man needs to be saved but who will be saved? Who believe. As much as God wants everyone to be saved and doesn't just know they need saving He wants him to be saved.
It is faith that will lead the person to experience what God already knew he needed and that He wanted to do what the just live by faith. When you and I understand this, there is no other way to choose than to walk by faith or simply choose not to please God and not live the reality of having Him reward those who seek Him in faith. I think we all prefer the first option.
We are very prepared, we find it very easy to deal with life's victories and happy moments, but life is also made up of difficult episodes. We have the maturity to understand that according to the word we are going to win the war but throughout these battles, we will lose some. And I see in this a very significant example in the midst of such a fragile faith among people who only believe and relate to God if everything works out.
Prepare your faith to experience the bad times, because they can be part of your story and maybe you are doing it today. May God give you strength through the Holy Spirit to overcome this crisis because take a look. .
. This storm is already over and the savior will come to your rescue. Save this sentence: Every time God wants to exalt you, He humbles you.
And He doesn't humiliate you to make you feel bad, in fact He allows evil to do you good. Can you understand a little the head of God? That's why God's mathematics is different from man's mathematics.
Greater for God is not who grows, but who descends. Happy for God, it's not who's smiling, it's who's crying. Great for God is not those who exalt themselves, but those who humble themselves.
God's perception is different from man's perception. So God is allowing the difficulty so that His promise is fulfilled on my house. And I'll say more.
. . You should be more concerned about victories than problems.
Why? Because victories put us in a comfort zone. Where it seems that I don't need God, where it seems to be very good, the health is fine, the children are fine, so I don't need to look for God.
Defeats, on the other hand, drive us closer to God. The closed door, the illness, the crisis, it takes me inside the purpose. Therefore, in fact, God is preparing your heart to receive the victories.
How can this be? Why? Because a blessing out of time is not a blessing, it's a curse.
So God is preparing the ground for you to receive the blessing. And save this sentence: Every time the devil doesn't knock you down with criticism , he knocks you down with praise, he massages your ego, fills you with honors thinking that you can create in your heart a pride, a selfishness, believing that you really can anything, that you have the power to bring you downfall and destruction. That's why problems are taking root in you.
God is maturing you, why are you putting roots ? Because a tree without a root cannot withstand the wind. It is the difficulties that are taking root in you.
Maturing you, teaching you. God is maturing you for the blessings to come. That everything God has for you is already prepared, it's ready.
Do you think God would take that long to prepare your blessing? Do you remember Genesis? In 6 days God created the earth and everything on it.
Do you think that God would take so long to give you your victory? Of course. Everything God has for you is already prepared.
So if you're already prepared, why don't I get my victory now? There it is! God is not preparing a blessing for you, God is preparing you to receive the blessing.
It is not victory that God prepares, God prepares this here, the heart to receive the blessing. God is preparing you to receive the blessing. Teaching you, maturing you, so that you understand that God has a purpose for all things.
Because when God calls me, He doesn't call me through what I am today but through what I can be tomorrow. What I am not today, the desert prepares me for tomorrow.
