SARAH HALL has experienced her share of trials since turning her life over to Jesus Christ many years ago, and in this brief testimony, she shares about just one of the many trials God helped her through. 

However, Sarah also ministers some precious wisdom, comfort and insights about suffering in the life of a Christian that may be VERY ENCOURAGING for you right now ... or someone else you can pass this along to.

There are a few passages of scripture that gives AMAZING INSIGHT into what will be the end result of the various trials Christians went through during their life on earth that you may not be familiar with. 

Setting the stage - in the second book of Corinthians, Chapter 12, the Apostle Paul writes about his supernatural experience of visiting the third heaven where God dwells.  Having heard some "eye-opening" things in the third heaven ... do you suppose Paul was "QUALIFIED" to write these profound words below?:

We (Christians) are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed - always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifest in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death (unjust sufferings; demonic attacks) for Jesus sake, that the life of Jesus (empowerment of the Holy Spirit; Christ with us and IN us, our hope of glory) also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.  (2 Corinthians 4:8-11)  

Therefore we do not lose heart. (Permanently shut down our intimacy with the Father and Jesus Christ; stop caring about what is important to God).  Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man (our human spirit and soul) is being renewed day by day.  For our light affliction, (ALL the suffering a Christian experienced during their life on earth) which is but for a moment, (in light of eternity) is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.  But the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.  (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

In these scriptures above, the wording put in brackens is mine, to help people better understand. 

Simply stated ... none of us Christian believers have a REAL CLUE what God has planned for each of us throughout eternity.  But THIS much we CAN know from scripture and revelation from the Holy Spirit:  Suffering - trials - hardships - testings of our faith - testings of OUR faithfulness in times of severe trial ... all of this pain a Christian experiences during their lifetime ... is birthing and growing GODLY CHARACTER in them that will pay ETERNAL DIVIDENDS! 

Trials are the ingredients God is using to make us more READY and QUALIFIED to co-reign with Jesus Christ! 

No WONDER James could write so confidently in James 1:2:  "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials ..."

Was James delirious?  Was he being a smart-mouth?  Was he being insensitive and cruel?  NOT AT ALL!  James too had a revelation that for Christians, trials and testings was God's way of birthing "spiritual substance" inside Christians that is more precious to God (and God wants us to view trials to be the MOST PRECIOUS "wealth" to you and I as WELL) than all the gold and jewels (material wealth) on this planet, as a limp comparison.

If you are going through a painful trial right now, pray and ask God to use Sarah's brief testimony to minister encouragement to you.  If you know someone else who is ... pray about forwarding this messages of hope to them as well, if you would be so thoughtful. 

Blessings, and thank you!
