Trials and Pain<\/p>\n

Trials and Pain: Not Yet “Due Time”<\/p>\n

But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come
\nforth as gold.
\n–Job 23:10<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God has said He will exalt you in due time, but remember, He is
\nreferring to His time and not yours!<\/p>\n

Some of you are actually in a fiery furnace right now. You are in a
\nspecial kind of spiritual testing. The pastor may not know it and
\nothers may not know it, but you have been praying and asking the
\nLord: “Why don’t you get me out of this?”<\/p>\n

In God’s plan it is not yet “due time.” When you have come through
\nthe fire, God will get you out and there will not be any smell of
\nsmoke on your garment and you will not have been harmed.<\/p>\n

The only harm that can come will be from your insistence that God
\nmust get you out sooner than He plans.<\/p>\n

The Lord has promised to exalt you in due time and He has always
\nkept His promises to His people.<\/p>\n

As children, we can always afford to wait. A saint of God does not
\nhave to be concerned about time when he is in the will of God.
\nI Call It Heresy! pp. 116-117<\/p>\n

“Lord, I pray this morning for anyone who is ‘actually in a fiery
\nfurnace right now.’ Give great grace to endure until the ‘due time’
\nwhen You bring release and exaltation. Amen.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
