ON THE WAY with Matias ToivainenThe Tearful Promise // Suffering Well pt. 2Where did human suffering start, and why is it a part of everybody's life?
Does suffering come as a divine punishment for sin, and how should we relate to it in an individual's life?
In this episode we discover that suffering is not meaningless, nor is it something we ought to escape or shield ourselves from. It is a promise of God and an altar we all get to freely use for the glory of God!

Among them could be counted the word ¨anointing'', which is often thrown around especially in the Charismatic church without any properly defined understanding of it.
We may read a really encouraging book, and call it an anointed book. We may really be moved by a worship moment, and call it an anointed song. Or maybe we see a very charismatic and powerful preacher and consider them an especially anointed minister.
So what is the anointing? Is it some k...
2024-09-0448 minON THE WAY with Matias ToivainenÄlä tuhlaa elämääsi // Lunastettu turhuudestaUsein ajattelemme Jeesuksen tarjoamaa elämää ja pelastusta jonakin, mikä pätee vasta tuonpuoleiseen kuoleman jälkeen. Vaikka onkin upea tosiasia että Hän pelastaa meidät kuoleman jälkeiseen elämään, se ei suinkaan jää siihen, vaan Hänellä on hyvin paljon tarjottavaa myös tässä ajassa. Osa sitä on merkitys.
''Tiedättehän, ettei teitä ole lunastettu isiltä perimästänne tyhjänpäiväisestä elämästä millään katoavalla tavaralla, hopealla tai kullalla, vaan Kristuksen, tuon virheettömän ja tahrattoman karitsan, kalliilla verellä.''

You don't have to spend more than a few minutes in the New Testament to discover this, but sometimes it's good to hear it spoken out loud again to remind ourselves of the narrow path He calls us to walk. He does not exist for us, we exist for Him.

Can a Christian have a demon?
How do I cast out a demon from a person?

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
