Thru Much, but Thru

THRU MUCH TRIBULATION, you shall enter the Kingdom of Yahweh...................thru much tribulation, YOU .SHALL. ENTER...THE KINGDOM OF YAHWEH, Acts 14: 22.......David was prepared by Yahweh. He had to go, so eagerly went, out against beasts in his young life, as preparation for going against a life-long trained and capable giant. Shemu'El 1 /I Sam 17: 34- . Most likely David wasn't just granted the accuracy ability with his sling, he had to earn it the old fashioned way. He had to be trained from the beginning that he doesn't loose a fight when obedient to his maker Lev 26: 7. He was trained in the details. He was a good kid that was, because of the great works trained into him, one capable individual. He was developed to be a responder with continual faith and reliance on Yahweh Most High - Without second thoughts. He was prepared to be an obedient servant and war maker against evil during his entire life. He had to sacrifice his life desires. He carried the trial of responsibility of the knowledge that some of his men were going to die today. They all had family back home. He was not set on high for most of his life. He prayed. He did his best. He was found approved. Now it's our turn. Today, Yahweh is again training some for extra- ordinary capabilities. Some few. They are being prepared. The first, as with David, prepares for the second. First, as with the covenants, comes the physical, and then comes the Spiritual. David was first trained to be worthy. He will be king over all Yisrael upon Yashua's reign over all the earth YehezqEl/Eze 37: 24. We, also called of Yashua, are being prepared today for responsibilities we would otherwise be not capable of Yohanan/John15: 16, then v14, and 15: 1, 2.This preparation must include suffering, even tribulation, so it is Yohanan/John 12: 25 and Rev 12: 11. Now it is our turn to suffer the loss of what We Want. The patio with the umbrella and reclining lawn chair, with TV and Pepsi, we are not promised. We are advised that thru much tribulation we shall enter Yahweh's gorgeous Kindom forever. So we see we are the most blessed people on the earth I Cor 2: 9. Praise to Yahweh for His perfect plan of salvation for the vast majority of mankind. Praise to Yahweh for the things we suffer today.
