Faith on Trial

FAITH IS ON TRIAL ONE TIME, THE TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH, BEING MUCH MORE PRECIOUS THEN OF GOLD THAT PERISHETH, THOUGH IT BE TRIED WITH FIRE, MIGHT BE FOUND UNTO PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY AT THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST, ONE TRIAL, BUT MANY TEMPTATIONS IN THE TRIAL,  ONE PERIOD OR SEASON TO SHOW THAT FAITH WORKETH BY LOVE, BY THE GIVING OF OURSELVES LOOKING FOR NOTHING IN RETURN, PRODUCING GENUINE FAITH,   TRUE LOVE LOOKS FOR NOTHING IN RETURN, IF WE FAIL THE TEST, GOD WILL TAKE US BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS, IF WE HUMBLE OURSELVES, BY DOING HIS WILL, AFTER OUR FAITH IS TRIED, WE HAVE GENUINE FAITH, UNFEIGNED FAITH, SINCERE FAITH, WE USE THIS FAITH, TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, LAYING HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE, FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD BEING ALONE, NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCES OF THINGS HOPED FOR THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN, THE REASON IT IS NOT SEEN, YOU DID THE WORK OF GOD IN SECRET, HE SHALL REWARD YOU OPENLY, UNTIL WE SEE THE SUBSTANCE, THE TRYING OF OUR FAITH WORKETH PATIENCE, BUT LET PATIENCE HAVE HER PERFECT WORK, PATIENTLY SOWING UNTIL THE SEED PRODUCE FRUIT, BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUS, PERFECTED FAITH, FAITH DON'T WORK IF IT HAS NOT BEEN TRIED, MUST BE PROCESSED, WE PUT THE SEED OF FAITH IN THE GROUND, BY BEING A DOER OF THE WORK, WE WAIT AS THE SEED GROW, WE EXPERIENCE SOME BAD WEATHER AS WE WAIT, BUT WE KNOW WE PLANTED, (OBEYED THE WORD) THE WAY GOD TOLD US, SO WE KILL FEARS, PERFECT LOVE CAST OUT FEARS, BECAUSE FEAR HAS TORMENT, WE BEGIN TO HEAR OUR FAITH, INSIDE OUR SPIRITS, AFTER THE PERIOD OF TRYING IS UP, OUR FAITH COMES ALIVE, GENUINE FAITH, EXCEPT A CORN OF WHEAT FALL INTO THE GROUND AND DIE IT ABIDETH ALONE BUT IF IT DIE, (OR BE BURIED) IT BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT, EITHER WE ARE TAKING THE TEST, OR TOOK THE TEST AND PASSED, OR FAILED THE TEST, AND GOD IS TAKING US BACK THROUGH THE TEST, TO GET SOME PURIFIED FAITH, FAITH THAT SPEAKS, EVERY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE MADE MANIFESTED, FOR THE DAY SHALL DECLARE IT, BECAUSE IT SHALL BE REVEALED BY FIRE, AND THE FIRE SHALL TRY EVERY MAN'S WORK, OF WHAT SORT IT IS, IF ANY MAN'S WORK ABIDE WHICH HE HAS BUILDED THEREUPON, HE SHALL RECEIVE A REWARD, IF ANY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE BURNED, HE SHALL SUFFER LOST

James1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

1Peter1:6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

Gal5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

James 1:27.Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

1 Timothy 6:12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

    

Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Phi1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

          ( UNFEIGNED FAITH)

James2:14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

              ( THE TRIAL )

1Peter1:7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

1Cor3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Romans10:6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

1 John 4:18.There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

2 Timothy 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

1Peter1:7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Romans 8:28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Psalms44:19Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death

Paul and Silas 

Acts16:22And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. 23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

COUNTED WORTHY TO SUFFER SHAME.

Acts5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
