Four Ways to Endure Through Suffering

Enter into the situation, desert, wilderness, 40 Days- with Humility

1. Develop Humilty
   
   
   
   1. Is it me?
   
   
   2. Realize your state of destitude (we are owed nothing, everything is a blessing)
   
   
   3. "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply" A.W. Tozer
   
   
   4. Humilty is a posture of the heart under God's covering, submitted completely 
      
      
      
      1. 1 Peter 1:10-12
      
      
      2. Ps 119:50
      
      
      3. 2 Corinthians 1:1-7 
      
      
      
      
   
   
   
   


2. Have the Proper Attitude and mindset
   
   
   
   1. 1 Peter 1:13
   
   
   2. "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." Charles Swindoll
   
   
   3. Hope is the result of placing your faith in what cannot be seen 
   
   
   
   


3. Know His grace is sufficient for you
   
   
   
   1. 2 Corinthians 12:9
   
   
   2. God doesnt give hypothetical grace for our hypothetical situation. He gives us exactly the measure needed in order to fulfil our calling and mandate in our times of refinement; not too much that we become prideful of ourselves, not too little that we are left begging - Ps 37:25
   
   
   
   


4. Put on the garmet of Praise
   
   
   
   1. Isaiah 61:3
   
   
   2. Give thanks for every thing perceived to be harmful- break the heavines lift off the demonic
   
   
   3. Matthew 14:13-21
   
   
   
   

Why do we give up...

• Our perspective is often limited


• Our progress isn't always obvious


• God often does something in you before He does something for you


• Joshua being led by God to Jericho - Joshua 6:1-5


• Reward; Hebrews 10:35-37

Trials; withstanding the pressure: Matthew 7:24-27

1. Is your covering secure?


2. Are those under you secure?


3. Is your day-to-day life structurally sound?

Ps 124  - Freedom and breakthrough

A time for a need to see and hear deeper: Daniel 12:9-13 (Daniel is partnering with prophets to release mysteries); Ephesians 2:6
