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.
