Brethren, you are only going to see God's hand in your spiritual suffering or persecution IF you are spiritually awake, and "tuned into" the things of God! A LOT OF Believers (who say they just love God SSSSOOOO much), turn" on the Lord when the going gets tough. Brethren, our Christian life should not be about us! We should not be 'building up our faith' on the people and the ways of this world. And we most definitely need to keep our spiritual eyes open and be 'sensitive' to the what the Lord might be trying to use us for when we suffer. I know that I have 'blown' opportunities (in the past) to be used by the Lord thru my suffering because my flesh was controlling my mind and not my spirit. And Brethren, I believe that the times are only going to get worse for God's faithful children. So, I share these podcasts on suffering to encourage the Remnant! Don't be deceived by bad teachers who will try and teach you that our Heavenly Father would never, ever let anything "bad" happen to His children....simply because He loves us too much! I know those 12 Apostles believed that the Lord loved them....and look how much they suffered!
