Underminding The Value Of Testing Times

“These 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” (1 Peter 1:7 NIV).

Do not Fail To Excel In God’s Will In These Times

 Brethren, while it is exciting to know that the coming of our Lord is imminent and curiously we all just eager to read or listen to news relating to such a great event that will usher in our redemption. A few weeks ago the Lord revealed to me that many people (including Christians) feel that their lives are being disrupted by the pandemic and they are eager to resume their lives and some have no desire to get closer to God.

This is what the Lord whispered to me: “They are desiring their former lives of sin and pleasures (Exodus 16:3), they should seek Me more in prayer and fasting during these times of testing so that I can purify them and get them ready for My Kingdom”.

Brethren, many of us have fallen into the trap of misjudging the times; we simply fail to acknowledge the Lord’s testing times and despise His saving grace and blame Him for disrupting our lives (Revelations 3:10; Deuteronomy 8:2).

As a ministry, we have been serving online since 2010 and 20 October 2012 we launched this website and by the Lord’s good grace we are still here serving you. As you know our message to you is original, we copied nobody’s visions or messages. We shared through our conviction as the Lord guided us. For your benefit dear brethren, some did try to label us as false and others tried to make us compromise on our visions which were attested by the Lord Himself to correspond with what they believe but we did not give in to them (Galatians 2:4-6) even after they stopped donating to our ministry. Therefore, money, anger, gossip, false accusations, threats, and insults did not stop us from sharing the truth about our Lord Jesus Christ as He revealed to us in line with the Bible and by His precious grace we are determined to complete our work (Acts 20:24; John 4:34).

Building Up Faith To Destroy spirit Of Doubt

Furthermore, let us cast aside the spirit of doubt and stop sitting in judgment over the faith of others. From our experience and this works all the time, if we pray hard and earnestly as the bible says (1 Thessalonians 5:17; James 5:17) stay in the Word daily (John 2:5; Psalm 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8) and be obedient (2 Corinthians 2:9) and being clothed in humility, you will be blessed with great faith, discernment and with the knowledge of knowing God’s will otherwise being doubtful brings confusion an unstable Christian life (James 1:8).

Be Prepared For Next Test

In conclusion, we should have discerned as we previously warned that an event that disrupts human will and activity should draw us to God and not lead us to rebel against Him (Numbers 14:1-4). In closing of this encouragement, I would like to boldly predict in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. This pandemic is the first of a few more worldwide disruptions before the Lord comes. As you know, we have already predicted that there will be a vaccine soon, and the world will return to ‘normal’ soon and suddenly something else will strike soon after this and about that the Lord will make it clear to us soon and to recap, it is the times of testing and purification…BE ALERT, WATCH, KEEP PRAYING and embrace God’s discipline as He purifies and readies us for the New Jerusalem. We know the worldly Christian don’t take kindly to such disruptiveness, but please consider it as God’s way of shaking the worldliness out of you so only He can remain (1 John 2:15).

If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and be freed from fear, please get started by praying this Prayer of Sincere Repentance. As always, for any questions or comments on this article or our ministry, please contact us.

Blessed Grace

Brother Glenn
