Your suffering is God`s allowance

Job knew despite all of the evil conditions he would wait in God

No condition you go through will be possible to compare to Job`s suffering. He became so anguished, so desperate, he didn`t know God gave Satan freedom to touch him, his flesh, his family, and thought that God removed everything from him, peace, restfulness, freedom, punishing him, but he never blasphemed, never credited God, never doubted God`s existence. From Job 19: 1 on, Job talked to his friends. Just two of them were aware of Job`s pain, and they were the Father God and Job himself. That`s the reason why we don`t live under information but under faith. If we live under information, we will get puzzled all the time, but living in faith, no one is able to remove your certitude of faith. He didn`t even know he made a mistake and what the mistake was. Job was the richest man from that time, and everything he tried to do, and did so, worked out, thrived, but all of a sudden, everything changed, his healthy children died, the cattle died, wealth vanished, his wife`s love came to an end. There was a moment, Job needed to rely just on God. Sometimes there are people who try to help us, on the other hand, there are moments when we don`t have anyone, not even with a comforting word or any help, so there is just one who can give us a hand and help us. Job faced this condition, at the bottom of the hill. There was nothing that Job could say he was successful. He thought God was his adversary. Even Job`s brother got away from him. People get away from those who are tired and worn out, but they are those who Jesus invite, we can only count on Him.

Job had all reasons for him to become an unbeliever. Everyone got away from him, the family was disgusted with him, and friends vanished. He couldn`t find any comfort with anyone, but as we know the end of his history, I would like you to pay attention to the next word in Job

He said he knew his Redeemer was alive, and God was ready to help him. I have never seen any human being confess that this way under his condition, just Job. Many have blasphemed for much less. They complain; they give up. God fulfilled Job`s wish when recorded his words and his history for us to learn this lesson today When Job couldn`t stand that condition anymore, alone, sick, humiliated, cursed, he said he knew the One who could change his history would help him. Before dying, Job`s hope was to see the glory of God. It doesn`t matter your condition, much less the anguish that is in your heart, if you confess there is a mighty God, and He is alive, He will touch your life even today. He will open doors, and make miracles as He has performed in many people`s lives. Your confidence needs to be in Him. Even if you have enough reasons to blaspheme and mourn, never do it. Always confess your redeemer is alive, God is with you watching you working in your life and you will see the glory of God. At the end of the history, Job started praying for those who accused him. It`s sure at some moment in our lives we will be an oppressed person, God Himself got revolted and just answered them under the condition of Job praying for them, and when Job did so, God changed their luck. Everything he had before, God provided him with double, and everyone who abandoned him returned. Those who returned could see the glory of God. Those who saw Job prostrated in bed, even children mocked him, with the condition of flesh and bone, in a terrible state of misery, they could see God manifested in his life, in double, except his children because God provided the same ten children. Those who came back could see Job`s cattle, thousands of them, they could see his wealth. Everyone saw the glory of God in his life. Maybe, you have been going through hard times, so in your heart, confess your Redeemer is alive and never give up your faith. Even Satan gives you a reason for you to mourn, the One who is Powerful is with you. God came up with this ministry to change your history, and if you believe in Him you will see the glory of God
