Dear Friend,
Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus!
Are you suffering right now even though you’ve been faithfully serving and doing good works for the glory of our Lord? If so, I not only empathize — I relate!
Last year, I battled a physical affliction that baffled doctors for months. They couldn’t diagnose it, let alone treat it. Yet even though the fiery darts of doubt tried to pierce my mind, I stood firm in faith, declaring that I am the healed of the Lord! My armor was on, and I refused to let the enemy’s attacks prevail.
And now? I emerged with a holy fire burning brighter in my spirit than ever before — brighter at any point since I first became a minister. I am more passionate than ever to teach the Word of God and to see it manifest in the lives of our church members and faith partners (that means YOU!). I long to see you prosper in spirit, soul, and body, like never before, because of a Word from God.
Beloved, as a Christ follower, you ARE going to face persecution. It comes with the territory. But family, remember this: the glory far outweighs the suffering — and that glory awaits us on the other side of whatever anguish we endure.
Perhaps you are in a season of hardship and asking, “But Pastor, though I am serving God now, maybe I deserve this because I have a past that I’m not proud of…” Well, hear this: God is not concerned about your past when He has chosen YOU for a divine assignment. God desires YOU to fulfill your unique assignment. You are a chosen, royal vessel, and the Body of Christ needs you.
Just look at the life of the Apostle Paul! He had a past of persecuting Christians, yet God chose him to preach to the Gentiles, even though he still desired to preach to the Jews! Who is God sending you to, on this very day?
When we are going through tribulations, it’s a perfect time to brag on God and proclaim His deliverance power, His healing power, and the mighty power of the shed blood of Jesus! Do this and watch how much God is magnified amid the “sickness”, financial straits, and rejection. Persecutions do not feel good, but oh, the glory when the Lord delivers us out of them all!

So, remember to turn your worries into prayers, and your prayers into praise. Meditate on the good things that are true, lovely, and of good report.
The Apostle Paul tells us that he was delivered from every affliction, as horrible as they were. Family, I urge you to equip yourselves with my teaching, “Why Do Christians Suffer?” so you can discern the current trials you are facing. And if repentance is needed, know this: Jesus loves you, and His blood washes away every sin when you humble yourself before Him. Our God is the answer to every problem. He is the healer. He is love. He is the God of all comfort.
In the service of the King,

PS: It is not the will of Our Heavenly Father that any of His children should endure suffering of any kind, because the shed blood of His Son has delivered and cleansed us from all unrighteousness. Obtain this teaching so that you will be totally convinced that you deserve to live free of all sickness and disease, and the cares of this world.
