\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Let me start by saying that the suffering of the godly: it's not what you think! does not include sickness, disease, poverty, lack, pain, depression, or mental torment.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tSurely He has borne our griefs [sicknesses] And carried our sorrows [pains]; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions [individual sins], He was bruised for our iniquities [generational sin patterns]; The chastisement for our peace [all mental torment] was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIsaiah 53:4\u20135, New King James Version, brackets and emphasis added<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

These are all things that Jesus paid the price for in our place so that you and I don\u2019t have to suffer with them. If Jesus bore it, you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

However, there are still two types of suffering that you will deal with as a believer:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1. Persecution<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tYes, and all who desire to live godly<\/b> in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.<\/b>\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 Timothy 3:12, NKJV, emphasis added<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you\u2019re going to follow the Lord, you\u2019re going to deal with persecution\u2014people who don\u2019t like you, oppose you, talk about you, and will even betray you. You can\u2019t pray away persecution; you must learn how to process it and deal with it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

That includes your \u201csandpaper\u201d person. You know who I\u2019m talking about. You\u2019re praying for God to get this person out of your life, but Jesus is interceding at the right hand of the Father that He could reveal Himself through you to this person. When Jesus told us to turn the other cheek, I believe He was telling us to live from the unwounded side. You\u2019re not a victim. You\u2019re a victor!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My wife and I pastored for twenty-seven years, and we noticed a pattern: two \u201cvictims,\u201d who had never met before, would come to our church and, like magnets, would somehow find each other.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cVictims\u201d are part of the wounded hearts club because they don\u2019t want to be healed. You\u2019re going to deal with difficult people like this. You don\u2019t want to give up on them or stop praying for them, but you don\u2019t have to become a doormat for them either. That\u2019s part of the suffering that we deal with.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

2. In the Flesh<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tTherefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh<\/b> has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.<\/b>\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 Peter 4:1\u20132, NKJV, emphasis added<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Suffering in the flesh is the willingness and discipline of our heart to follow the will of God when our flesh wants to do something else. We need to spend time with the Lord and find out what\u2019s on His heart for today and then just do what He tells us to do.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Instead of trying to come up with some plan where you ask God to bless it, don\u2019t do anything without the Lord\u2019s initiative.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I don\u2019t mean you do nothing. Rather, you should serve where you are and don\u2019t make any major changes in your life and then ask God to bless it. Be someone who\u2019s following the Lord.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Moses attempted to do God\u2019s will his own way. He\u2019d been up all night, listening to Frank Sinatra sing, \u201cI did it my way.\u201d Stephen said in Acts 7 that it came into Moses\u2019 heart to deliver the children of Israel. But Moses tried to do it by killing one Egyptian at a time!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Then Moses had to go to the desert to get his BSD degree (back-side-of-the-desert degree). God re-visioned him at the burning bush and asked him what he had in his hands. And Moses said, \u201cWell, I have a rod.\u201d That rod represented his ministry, that he was going to part the Red Sea and do miracles. God asked him to throw it down and then pick it back up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When Moses threw down the rod, it became a serpent, which is a type of the serpent nature that is in every one of our lives when we try to do God\u2019s will our way. That\u2019s the enemy; it\u2019s selfish ambition. Where there\u2019s selfish ambition, there\u2019s confusion and every evil work (James 3).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Jesus provided the right example in the Garden of Gethsemane when He said, \u201cFather, if there\u2019s any other way, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as You will.\u201d His flesh didn\u2019t want to die. He didn\u2019t want to be separated from the Father or take on sin. But He said, \u201cI\u2019m going to follow Your will.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

The suffering that Jesus went through was in the flesh, when His flesh didn\u2019t want to do the will of God.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My wife and I pastored in Houston, Texas, for three and a half years and then we merged our church with another church. We waited a year and a half for our next pastoral assignment. Then God called us to Decatur, Texas. We moved from a city with a population of 4.5 million people to a town of 5,000. I thought God was sentencing me to anonymity. I was like, \u201cGod, are You serious? Nobody\u2019s going to know me, and I\u2019m meant to reach the world.\u201d I died a thousand deaths when I said yes to the Lord, and my flesh suffered. But that was the place where I met my pastor, Bob Nichols, and also Andrew Wommack.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Has God ever asked you to do something and you\u2019ve questioned Him, inquiring, \u201cWhy am I going here? Why am I serving here? Why are You leading me here?\u201d<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Just recognize that He is God, and you are not. <\/strong>He knows the steps that you need to take for Him to promote you. It\u2019s going to require suffering in your flesh.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What is it that you value the most\u2014an imperishable crown, or the temporary whims and pleasures of the flesh?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
