The greatest cry of God’s heart is that we would trust him! His ultimate purpose is that we would live in, and fully experience, all that he is! That statement alone is mind-blowing! But for us to come into the fullness of God, there is a breaking that is necessary. God allows trials to destroy the outer man, thus bringing forth the fruitfulness of the inner man.

John 12:23-24 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 I tell you the truth unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 

James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 

People go to the gym to put their muscles through testing, and that testing produces increase.

The trials you’re facing are all about your faith. Look at what Apostle Peter said.

1 Peter 2:7 “These (trials) have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Know this, the life that God has to offer is exceedingly, abundantly, above anything this world has to offer! God longs for you to come into His life of faith! The life of faith is not about something that will happen in the future but about the trials you are currently facing? Those trials are, as I said yesterday, “the weight room of life!” God wants you to believe!

John 6:29-28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

If you are going to do what God wants the most, you are going to believe! Jesus said, “In this world, you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33 The Apostle John wrote, “This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4

What does it mean to believe God? It means to confidently rest your life upon what God has said is true. My dear friend, it is time to lay back in the arms of God and receive his undeserved empowerment to conquer! Remember, when by faith, you rest in God, God will fight your battles! The most outstanding work you will ever do for God is to rest completely in God!

Right now, right where you are at, God is with you and has a detailed plan for your success! Your trials are for a reason and for a season. God is faithful; he will not let you down! Oh yeah, in light of that trial you have been going through – you can be sure that it is your divine…
