Help Me Learn What You Are Trying to Teach Me.

Joh 15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 
Joh 15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 

People love to believe if they are blessed by God that means they aren't to suffer. WRONG. They'll suffer through being purged. God purges us. We are purged and we will grow spiritually through our purging. Our spiritually growth will produce more fruit in us for the glory of God. Our purging can take many, many forms. We are tried in the fire of purging.  If your life is hard and your faith strong, know that you are being purged, you are being tried. NO trials are pleasant….

Heb_12:11  Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.


NOTE this… 'unto them which ARE exercised thereby.' We can be purged, tried, chastened and it yield nothing if we aren't exercised by all we go through. If we don't let God work His refining in us, His pruning of us, His purging of us, but refuse to let the work be done, our suffering is for naught. We can through the SPIRIT recognize God's refining, and plead for our comprehension, our understanding of whatever it may be He is trying to teach us.
