SATAN IS OUT TO DESTROY YOUR FAITH!!! Satan will lie to you when chastening includes suffering that continues with seemingly no answer.
Your ongoing trial may involve physical suffering, unemployment, children who rebel, faithless friends, mental distress, turmoil or pain. As you endure day after day, Satan will whisper to you as he did to Job: "The righteous don't suffer. If God heard you — if he saved you and his promises are true — you should have been rescued immediately. Where is your God? Is this what faith gets you?"

Beloved, do not cast your faith aside! Satan is a liar. You are suffering because God loves you, because he cares. Think about it: You asked the Lord to make you more like him. Only he knows what that will require. He knows your suffering, and he won't let you be destroyed by it. In fact, he knows just when to make a way of escape for you. He won't act until that appointed time, and "will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Be assured, God has everything under control. The pain, the lingering sickness, the prayer that seems to go unanswered — he knows all about them. And he knows why he hasn't lifted your trial before now. As happened with Paul, he is using the "thorn" in your flesh to work toward your blessing. Indeed, the very thing you want so much — the answer you believe is so necessary — might be something God knows isn't best for you. If he ultimately says, "No," you must yield, knowing he is preserving your soul and answering you in a much better way unknown to you.
Through it all, the great cloud of witnesses urges you, "Continue fighting the battle with faith. Your hands hang down, but he will provide the faith to lift them up. Your knees are feeble, but he will strengthen them. Don't turn aside. Stay in the race!"
Multitudes fall for the devil's lies when they are chastened. They allow a root of bitterness to enter their heart and soon are nurturing an anger toward God: "Why did the Lord allow this? I tried so hard to please him, trusting him so much. Why is he letting me down?" God has warned us about such times: "Don't let this happen. Instead, be diligent, be careful, holding onto your confidence. It has great recompense of reward."
DURING THESE TRIALS IS WHEN SATAN WILL ATTACK YOUR MIND, AND HE WILL FEED YOU WITH EVERY LIE HE HAS!! SATAN WILL ONLY DEFEAT YOU IF YOU LET HIM, SO YOU HAVE TO REALLY STAND FIRM AND KNOW WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS!! THE LORD HAS GIVEN US WEAPONS AND HIS ARMOR TO USE IT DURING THESE TIMES OF TRIALS!! WE NEED TO TELL THE DEVIL, "GET BEHIND ME, FOR IT IS WRITTEN!" AND TELL HIM WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS!!! AMEN!! DO NOT LISTEN TO HIS LIES WHATSOEVER!! YOU HAVE THE VICTORY NO MATTER WHAT!!!

OF WHAT VALUE IS FAITH THAT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED? IS YOUR FAITH BEING TESTED, BUT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND? FAITH THAT DEFIES UNDERSTANDING: There is nothing that God cannot do in your life if you are willing to submit to his will. All the pain and struggles you face are simply the elements God uses to mold you into greatness. He has not forgotten you. Your trial is set for a time and soon your tears will turn to joy. There are no losers in the body of Christ. We are all on a path designed by him long before we were born. He has the plan and it cannot fail. Are you ready to give up your control to get God’s divine blessings? Don’t worry over your circumstance for the outcome has been decided in advance. For believers, the war is won and we are the victors. The devil himself knows that. You now need to know that too.
Dear Lord, I am praying for all who are going through a fiery trial and who may be filled with pain and uncertainty as to whether you will be there for them. I pray that you will draw them near to you and bring them your peace. Please help them to know that their grief is before you and you are working it all out despite the fact that it seems like it will never end. Comfort them, dear Jesus. Show your love to them in a very real way. Give them hope that can only come from you. Amen.
THERE IS A REASON FOR YOUR STRUGGLES, FOR YOU TRIALS, FOR YOUR TESTING! WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH ALL THESE THINGS I LEARNED THROUGH IT ALL THAT I NEEDED TO GO THROUGH THESE TESTS, THROUGH THESE TRIALS, AND WHATEVER GOD SENT MY WAY BECAUSE IT WAS FOR A REASON!! I HAD TO LEARN TO TRUST MY FATHER IN ALL THIS!! HE REVEALED HIMSELF TO ME DURING THESE TIMES OF TRIALS AND TESTING. HE TOLD ME TO BELIEVE NO MATTER WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE IT WAS ALL PART OF HIS PLAN FOR MY LIFE!!REMEMBER THERE ARE NO LOSERS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST!!! AMEN!!
