“Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a
purple robe. And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
their hands….Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and
the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! When the chief
priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him,
crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him:
for I find no fault in him. But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered,
We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be
crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away…” (John 19:1-16 KJV). “..After this, Jesus knowing that all things
were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with
vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore
had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost”
(John 19:28-30 KJV).
“…For
I have come down from heaven ... TO DO ...THE WILL of him who
sent me…” (John 6:38 NIV). “…The ... works that I
do, bear
witness of me, that the Father has sent me...” (John 5:36 KJV).
*
Jesus
went SUFFERED through a pandemic of TROUBLES (mistreatment, death on the cross and he was buried in a borrowed grave). Jesus, while on
earth, went about doing good, but still went INSIDE the STORM.“… Jesus of Nazareth ...went around ... doing good
and healing all. “…”
(Acts 10:38 NIV).
“...
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus,
and scourged him.
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a
purple robe. And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
their hands...”
(John 19:28-30 KJV).
“…his
appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred
beyond human likeness—“ (Isaiah 52:14 NIV).
“..they
cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him...”
(John 19:28-30 KJV).
“…When
they hurled their insults at him, he
did not retaliate; when he suffered, he
made no threats…” (1 Peter 2:20-23
NIV).
“...He was despised and rejected— a man of
sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our
backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised,
and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our
sorrows that weighed him
down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment
from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He
was beaten so we could be
whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us,
like sheep, have strayed away...Yet the Lord laid on him the
sins of us all...”
(Isaiah 53:3-6 NLT).
“…Christ…suffered (INSIDE THE STORM) for us in
the flesh …” (1 Peter 4:1-3 KJV).“…Christ
died for [your] sins according to the scriptures…” (1 Corinthians
15:3-4 KJV).
“…they came to Jesus, and
saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs ... one of the soldiers
with a spear pierced his side…” (John 19:31-37 KJV).
“…Then took
they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the
manner of the Jews is to bury
... Now in the place where he was crucified there was a
garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they
Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the
sepulchre was nigh at hand…” (John 19:38-42 KJV).
THROUGH IT ALL: “… he ENTRUSTED himself to him who judges
justly…” (1 Peter 2:20-23 NIV). “…Father,
into thy hands
I commend my spirit…” (Luke 23:46 KJV).
Therefore, “..be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world...” (John 16:33 KJV).
“...take heart, because I have overcome the world..." (John 16:44 NLT).
“...Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid...” (John 14:27 KJV).
Jesus, first, and foremost, overcame and won the victory over ALL the tricks, weapons, and schemes of the enemy. Thus, HIS PEOPLE no longer have to fear the troubles of the world. Jesus went through the suffering first, so HIS PEOPLE would have nothing to fear of the world or of the tribulations they encounter. Jesus encourages HIS PEOPLE to be of GOOD CHEER, if he has WON the victory; they (HIS PEOPLE) have also WON through HIS VICTORY!

Jesus encourages HIS PEOPLE to be of GOOD CHEER, if he has WON the victory; they (HIS PEOPLE) have also WON through HIS VICTORY!
The bible says “be of good cheer,” “take heart,” and “let your
heart not be trouble or afraid,” because, through CHRIST JESUS, we have ALL
overcome the TRIBULATION or STORMS of LIFE.“...We must [go]...through much tribulation [to]...enter into the kingdom of God..” (Acts 14:22 KJV).
“...despite
all these things, overwhelming victory is ours ...” (Romans 8:37 NLT).
Jesus suffer through the TRIBULATIONS or STORMS, but OVERWHELMING VICTORY was also Jesus Christ’s. Jesus
is now “highly exalted” with a “name which is above every name”
(Philippians 2:9). “… He (Jesus) had a
name written, that no man knew … his name is called The Word of God…”
(Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).
The
WORD of GOD (Jesus' name) which is ABOVE every other WORD!
In
addition,“…at … the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven
and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”
(Philippians 2:10-11 KJV).
Going
INSIDE the TRIBULATIONS or STORMS of LIFE will be a struggle and will involve some suffering, but if you entrust yourself to
God, your spiritual growth and development will EMPOWER you to do the WORKS you
were, sent to earth, to do.“…The
... works that I do, bear
witness of me, that the Father has sent me...” (John 5:36 KJV). “...he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
Jesus did “…not come to be served, but
to serve, and to give His life
a ransom for many...”
(Matthew 20:28 KJV).
.
“…my righteous servant (Jesus) will make it possible for many to be counted righteous…”
(Isaiah 53:11 NLT).
“…God intended...[JESUS’ TRIBULATIONS or STORMS]... for good to accomplish what
is now being done, the saving of many lives...”
Genesis 50:20 NIV).
Many
TRIBULATIONS or STORMS are USED to TRAIN and PREPARE God’s people for a life of DIVINE PURPOSE.
This
training and preparation could
last for hours, days, weeks, months, or years and most likely will NOT be
pleasant. You were meant to become, first and foremost, God’s ordained PURPOSE. “...No chastening (training, preparation,
etc.) for the present seemeth to be joyous, but
grievous: nevertheless afterward it
yieldeth the peaceable FRUIT of righteousness unto them which are
exercised thereby...” (Hebrews 12:11 KJV). “… [God allows training
and preparation]…for our profit, that [HIS PEOPLE] might
be partakers (participants) of his holiness...” (Hebrews
12:10 KJV).
When God allows or permits you to go
INSIDE TRIBULATIONS of the STORMS of life it is not about what is actually happening TO you as much
as it is about what is happening IN you. God cares about your heart. “…The LORD LOOKS AT
THE HEART…” (1 Samuel 16:7 NASB). “….[It is] from WITHIN,
out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts … wickedness, deceit, … pride, and
foolishness. All these vile things come from WITHIN; they are what
defile you…” (Mark 7:20-23 NLT). “... I [am] …a
slave to the … [sin]... that is … WITHIN
me …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
God SEES the “…hidden man of the
heart…” (1 Peter 3:4 KJV). “…No one needed…
to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart…” (John 2:24-25 NLT). “O Lord, you have
examined my heart and know everything about me. You know
everything I do…” (Psalms 139:1-6 NLT).
Nothing reveals the HEART of mankind like experiening tribulations of the storms of life. God ALLOWS trouble so individuals can SEE into their OWN hearts. God already KNOWS what there. When TRIBULATIONS or the STORMS of LIFE come what will YOU choose: LIFE or DEATH? "...I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore....[YOU]...choose life..." (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). "...But my people would NOT LISTEN to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts...(Jeremiah 7:24 NLT).

(Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). "...But my people would NOT LISTEN to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts...(Jeremiah 7:24 NLT).
God took Israel through the wilderness
(trials, tribulations, troubles, etc.) for forty years? He did it to humble
them, to test (train) them, to see if they would keep his commandments or not,
and to reveal to them “….what was in [their OWN]…heart…”
(Deuteronomy 8:2 KJV).
Therefore, "...CHOOSE LIFE..." (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). "...CHOOSE YOU this day whom ye will serve..." (Joshua 24:15 KJV). "...The highway to HELL is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who CHOOSE that way..." (Matthew 7:13-14 NLT).
Therefore, "...CHOOSE LIFE..." (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). "...CHOOSE YOU this day whom ye will serve..." (Joshua 24:15 KJV). "...The highway to HELL is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who CHOOSE that way..." (Matthew 7:13-14 NLT).
Forty years is a LONG time, but
sometimes it takes people a long time to surrender to GOD’S PURPOSE. Some of HIS PEOPLE didn't CHOOSE to serve him and didn't make it into the promise land.
Some of God’s people have claimed to be walking with God for many, many years and “STILL” will NOT surrender to HIS
PURPOSE for their lives. “…BE conformed to the image of his
Son...” (ROMANS
8:29 KJV). “…Jesus Christ is in you…”
(2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).
However, “…My people would not listen to me. They kept doing
whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward”
(Jeremiah 7:24 NLT). “...But the people replied, “Don’t waste your
breath. We will continue to live as we want to, stubbornly following
our own evil desires...” (JEREMIAH 18:12 NLT).
Many of God’s people who CLAIM to
belong to him have not truly turned from their wicked ways. “…If My people which are called by My name
shall humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked
ways…” (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV).
God wants HIS people to “LIVE” HOLY
(free from sin, its practices, its influences, and its bondage) like him;
that’s his standard. He does NOT mollycoddle with sin on ANY level JUST because
it’s you doing the sin. “…Be holy, because I am holy…” (1 Peter 1:16
KJV).
God loves YOU, but he will NOT pamper
or indulge your ongoing, sinful lifestyle practices. “... EVERYONE (NO EXCEPTIONS) who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness ...
the one who practices
sin is of the devil ... No one who is born of God practices
sin, because His seed abides (WORD/HOLY SPIRIT ABIDE) in him (her); and he(she) cannot sin,
because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the
devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of GOD..” (1
John 3:7-10 NASB).
“…Know
ye not, that to
whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether
of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?...” (Romans 6:16 KJV).
. “... Do you not know
that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God…” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NASB).
True surrender will humble a person
and they will voluntarily choose to give up their lives up for GOD’S PURPOSE. “He
must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less” (John
3:30 NLT).
SURRENDER is clearly witnessed through
obedience to God’s Word and is PROOF a person has truly given their lives over
to GOD’S PURPOSE. “…My people would not listen to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn
desires of their evil hearts...” (Jeremiah 7:24 NLT). “...the people
replied … We will continue to
live as we want to, stubbornly following our own evil desires”
(JEREMIAH 18:12 NLT). “…for thy heart is not
right in the sight of God…” (Acts 8:21 KJV).
Many, who claim, to be God’s people
PICK and CHOOSE how they want to SURRENDER to God and what part of HIS PURPOSE
they want for their lives. If your whole heart is not surrendered to God, it will
show.. “…Ye shall know [God’s people]… by their fruits…”
(Matthew 7:16 KJV). “...For
out of the heart proceed evil thoughts...” (Matthew 15:19 KJV). “… [It
is] from WITHIN, out of a person’s
heart, come evil thoughts …
wickedness, deceit, … pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from WITHIN;
they are what defile you (make you unclean)…” (Mark 7:20-23 NLT).
“…God
has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT). “…The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "....The....[indwelling]... Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [his people’s] ...lives …” (Galatians 5 NLT).
“…Ye shall know [his people]… by their fruits…”
(Matthew 7:16 KJV). "…“[His
people[...bear much fruit,
and .. PROVE to
be...[HIS]... disciples” (John 15:8 NIV).
Some, who claim, to be God’s people
TALK as if they have SURRENDERED to GOD’S PURPOSE, but have “NOT” in their hearts or in their behaviors.
“…He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites,
as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me” (Mark 7:6 KJV).
“...the LORD looks at the heart…” (1 Samuel 16:7). “…Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity…” (Matthew 7:22-23 KJV).
“…The flesh profiteth nothing…” (John 6:63 KJV).
“…And though I bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not
charity, it
profiteth me NOTHING...” (1 Corinthians 13:3 KJV).
HEARING God’s WORD activates the
indwelling HOLY SPIRIT to produce fruit, which empowers and strengthens,
God’s people, to DO HIS work. “...the Holy Spirit
produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self-control…” (Galatians 5 NLT). “...the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives…”
(Galatians 5 NLT).
“…God … does
the work IN and THROUGH all
of us who are his. … (1
Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…
God … work[s] … in … [you] … what
is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
“…The [invisible] … HOLY
SPIRIT …does the work (of empowering spiritual fruit) IN and THROUGH [his people]…
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).“...The
HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power (to enable fruitfulness) THROUGH
each of us …
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
INSIDE
the STORM, the indwelling Holy Spirit becomes YOUR SOURCE of continual HOPE. “…Even when there was no reason
for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing…!"
(Romans 4:18 NLT). “…you will abound in HOPE by the power of the...[indwelling]...
Holy Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NASB). “…God, the source of HOPE,
will fill you completely.... Then you will overflow with confident HOPE through the
power of the [indwelling] ...Holy Spirit…”
(Romans 15:13 NLT
Therefore, “…Trust in the Lord (the
indwelling holy spirit OF HOPE) with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…You will abound in HOPE by the power of the
Holy Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NASB). “…God, the source of HOPE, will fill you completely.... Then
you will overflow with confident HOPE through the power of the Holy
Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NLT). The FRUIT of“…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and hearing by the
word of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). “...the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives…”
(Galatians 5 NLT).
When you choose to SURRENDER, INSIDE
the STORMS of LIFE, you are deciding to entrust yourself and the outcome to God. The sovereign WORK of the
indwelling Holy Spirit will turn the impossible victories into possible
victories. “…The things which are impossible with men are possible with God…” (Luke 18:27 KJV).
ALL
STORMS have some SADNESS and HEARTBREAK linked to them, but by humbly surrendering to and
acknowledging God, he can somehow turn it ALL to VICTORY. The bible says, “…
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).
The bible doesn't say ALL things are good, but ALL things will work together for good.“...ALL THINGS (sickness, divorce, death, disappointments, pain, heartbreak, etc.) work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE…” (ROMANS 8:28 KJV). “...despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us...” (Romans 8:37 NLT).
The bible doesn't say ALL things are good, but ALL things will work together for good.“...ALL THINGS (sickness, divorce, death, disappointments, pain, heartbreak, etc.) work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE…” (ROMANS 8:28 KJV). “...despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us...” (Romans 8:37 NLT).
No matter how bad the STORM was, is, or
how long it’s been going on, God is “STILL” able to DO far more abundantly;
BEYOND what you have asked for or thought of, and can give you “overwhelming
victory.” “...despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours ...” (Romans 8:37 NLT).
“…[God, the Holy Spirit, can] do far more abundantly beyond all that
[you]… ask or think, according to the power that works within [you]…”
(Ephesians 3:20 NASB). “…Only believe…” (Mark 5:36 KJV). “…The
things which are impossible with men are possible
with God…” (Luke 18:27 KJV).
“...despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours ...” (Romans 8:37 NLT).
“...“Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man (woman) the things which God hath
prepared for those who love Him…” (1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV).
If
you have been through or are going through A STORM and have experienced DEEP sadness,
heartbreak, terror, disappointment, etc., choose to surrender to God’s loving CARE anyway. “…"Father
… not My will, but Yours be done" (Luke 22:42-43 NIV). “…If the Lord will, [I] shall live, and
do this, or that...” (James 4:16 KJV). “...Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 KJV).
“….all things [will] work together
for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose…” (Romans 8:28 KJV).
To
depend upon God INSIDE the STORMS of LIFE, no matter what you GO through, will require
the empowerment of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The indwelling Holy Spirt will HELP you continue to follow God’s
instructions and EXPECT OVERWHELMING VICTORY in spite of it all. “… The
Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness…” (Romans 8:26 NLT). “…He helps me…”
(Psalms 28:7 NLT). “...despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved
us...” (Romans 8:37 NLT). “…The things which are impossible
with men(women) ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD…”
(Luke 18:27 KJV). “….I am the Lord,
the God of all flesh: IS THERE ANY THING TOO HARD
FOR ME?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). “…NOW
UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE to do
exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or THINK, according to the
power that worketh in us…” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV).
“...Therefore [INSIDE the STORMS of LIFE]... put on the
full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done
everything, to stand. Stand
firm...” (Ephesians 6:13-14 NIV).
“... Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil...” (Ephesians 6:11 NLT).
“…HE (the indwelling
Holy Spirit) “WILL” KEEP YOU STRONG to the end…” (1 Corinthians
1:8 NLT).
“…God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” we can boldly
quote, God is there, ready to help...”
(Hebrews 13:5 MSG).
“…He said,
… Do not be
afraid or discouraged ...the Lord is with you!” (2
Chronicles 20:1-30 NLT).
“…No weapon that is formed against [YOU]… shall prosper…” (Isaiah 54:17 KJV).
“…the battle is not yours, but God’s. …...”
(2 Chronicles 20:1-30 NLT).
“…you will not even need to fight...” (2
Chronicles 20:1-30 NLT).
“…Take your positions; then stand still..”
(2 Chronicles 20:1-30 NLT).
“…watch the Lord’s victory...” (2
Chronicles 20:1-30 NLT).
LOOK INSIDE
JESUS’ STORM: “... Then
Pilate
therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of
thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe. And
said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands...”
(John 19:28-30 KJV).
“…his
appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred
beyond human likeness—“ (Isaiah 52:14 NIV).
“..they
cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him...”
(John 19:28-30 KJV).
“…When
they hurled their insults at him, he
did not retaliate; when he suffered, he
made no threats…” (1 Peter 2:20-23
NIV).
“...He was despised and rejected— a man of
sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our
backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised,
and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our
sorrows that weighed him
down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment
from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He
was beaten so we could be
whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us,
like sheep, have strayed away...Yet the Lord laid on him the
sins of us all...”
(Isaiah 53:3-6 NLT).
“…Christ…suffered (INSIDE THE STORM) for us in
the flesh …” (1 Peter 4:1-3 KJV).“…Christ
died for [your] sins according to the scriptures…” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4
KJV). “
“…they came to Jesus, and
saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs ... one of the soldiers
with a spear pierced his side…” (John 19:31-37 KJV).
“…Then took
they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the
manner of the Jews is to bury
... Now in the place where he was crucified there was a
garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they
Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the
sepulchre was nigh at hand…” (John 19:38-42 KJV).
THROUGH IT ALL: “… he ENTRUSTED himself to him who judges
justly…” (1 Peter 2:20-23 NIV). “…Father,
into thy hands
I commend my spirit…” (Luke 23:46 KJV).
“...[Jesus]... was
buried,
and …he rose again the third day according to the scriptures…”
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV). Jesus
is now “highly exalted”
with a “name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9). “… He (Jesus) had a name written, that no man
knew … his name is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).“…at
… the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven and things in
earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father...” (Philippians
2:10-11 KJV).
“...he (God, the Holy Spirit)...hath done marvellous things…” ( Psalms 98:1 KJV). “… Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast
done …” (Psalms 40:5 KJV).
“...In the world ye
shall have tribulation...” (John 16:33 KJV).
YET “...overwhelming
victory is ours ...” (Romans 8:37 NLT).
