Dealing With Affliction In The Christian Life – Charles Spurgeon Sermon #shorts

The following 1-minute video is from the YouTube site, Christian Sermons and Audio Books. It says a lot about prayer and remaining under God’s afflicting hand.
It took me a long time to realize that when I was under affliction, I habitually sought to escape it, fleeing to something that gave me pleasant feelings, or at least a break from unpleasant ones. I began to understand this problem when I was dealing with cancer and my brother gave me a book titled, The Afflicted Man’s Companion. That book enabled me to many examples of God’s afflicting characters of the Bible and what He expected of them at those times: that they receive it; feel it; remain in it until He removed it, waiting on Him…that they be conformed to the image of Christ

Valley Of Vision, Puritan Prayer Book, 1st Prayer

I recently uploaded a video by Pastor Matthew Everhard on The Valley of Vision.
I have owned a copy for a decade or so and I began reading again from it this morning. I have come to understand most of this first prayer in the past 16 years during my Christian walk; however, I do not yet have such experiential understanding.  I wanted to share it because the thoughts are so biblical

The Last Days, As Wickedness Ramps Up [From ProclaimingTheGospel.org]

In these last days, we are eye-witnesses to God’s sovereign control over everything that is taking place. He is allowing wicked men to employ their devious schemes to fulfill prophecy. God’s prophetic word tells us there will be a global government that will control the population, a global economy that will control commerce, and a global religion that will force the worship of a false Christ (Rev. 13 & 17). As these events begin to unfold, this blessed generation of God’s people can be encouraged as we keep looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus (Titus 2:13). The King of kings will defeat evil and set up His everlasting kingdom where justice and righteousness are the foundation of His throne (Psalm 89:14).
