(KJV.) 1 PETER 4:12-13
(12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you.
(13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
THE TEST!
Brethren, regardless of a believer's spiritual power, intellect capability or status; there are certain times of life when strange phenomenon happens, that human imagination cannot fully understand how and why these things manifest in people lives; when in trails, regardless of how depress the condition may be, let us never lose hope in God, charge him foolishly, spiritually keep guards over mouths, not to use vain words against the Holy Spirit during prayers; rather surrender everything unto Jesus Christ, pray fervently, be faithful still, trust him that he is in control of all things, nothing ever happens to his siblings on earth that he had not conquered, overturned; in that respect, stay cool, calm and collected, and continue to wait upon him, Jesus is faithful, answers prayers, and brings things to pass by his unfailing grace.
Fruit of thought; remember that there is no smoke without an underline fire; therefore, every trail has an intended purpose of God, that is unknown to a soul during the time of suffering, but Jesus Christ knows about what is happening before it happens; therefore, when in trails, know for sure that Jesus is with you, strengthing and watching over you, he never allows too many sufferings to overwhelm a soul, but delivers on time, strengthens and settles them after the appointed season of the testing is over: as believers in Jesus Christ, sufferings are package deals, therefore, let us not look at suffering negatively, but rejoice that something greater will surface in the sufferers life; there is a time of death and a time of resurrection: when enemies killed Jesus, they thought they were victorious, surprisingly, Jesus resurrected from the grave, with victory that no one is able to overturn, but established forever; he is coming back again soon; are you ready for him? if not yet, time is running out, come, with the heart of repentance, receive and believe in Jesus, have salvation, free grace, peace, a hope of his second coming and eternal life.
CONCLUSION:
Dearly beloved, today, if anyone is in sufferings, be encouraged to read the book of Job entirely, to discern how heaven allows sufferings to manifest in believers lives, because of who they are, their faithfulness to God, his love for them; ponder, "I did not know that Jesus love me so much to allow me to partake of his sufferings, he loves me, smile, be happy, relax and enjoy the ride of victory into intended purposes of power, greater glory, grace and everlasting life. Peace be unto you! Amen and Amen!
