Waiting It Out
July 24, 2014
It's not fair! Those three words describe most of our reaction to suffering, especially when we see it happen to "good" people. For some reason, even though the Bible says to expect trouble in life, we're surprised by it. As author David McKenna writes, we eventually ask three questions: Why me? Why this? Why now?
This is the 3rd message in Jill's 8-message series, "Triumph in Trouble," on the life of Job.

For some reason, even though the Bible says to expect trouble in life, we're surprised by it. As we learn from the life of Job, he couldn't make sense of what was happening to him, but he accepted the trouble and trusted God to get him through it.

There is hope and light even when we don't have all the answers. As we're able to accept trouble or suffering, we receive the Messenger. And as we worship Him and praise Him for the good and the bad, He gives us strength and teaches us more about His sovereign will.
Job 1 & 2

Time and time again, Jill Briscoe has met and ministered to suffering people. Many of them have experienced trials we cannot even comprehend. In this stirring message on the trials of Job, Jill shares what she has learned from the examples of those who responded rightly to suffering. Jill shares her own struggles with waiting through difficult situations and overcoming the temptation to think that if God doesn't answer prayers the way we want, God isn't good. Jill shows us how we can learn to say, like Job, "I will accept it, as from a good God," and allow our situation to increase our faith and dependence on our Redeemer.

When we're suffering the consequences of our own poor choices; when we're bearing the brunt of someone's vengeance and anger; when we feel absolutely on our own and life is not working out as planned, that's when God will turn up. He wants to walk down the stairway of heaven right into our hearts to make us aware of His personal interest and concern.
We learn in Scripture how God wrestled Jacob to the ground one night and turned him upside down - so he could live right-side up. Jacob became a "prince" with God instead of a pain.
This message by Jill Briscoe is taken from Genesis 28:10 & 32:22-31.

When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives, we receive all of Him into all of us. But did you know that we can abuse Him? He is abused when we suppress Him, quench Him, or subdue Him. Limiting Him to only certain areas of our lives is considered abuse...and a sin. This is the 5th message in Jill's 8-message series "Grace to Go On." John 1:29-34

In us there is a well of water that continually quenches our thirst. It is the Holy Spirit that flows like a stream in our hearts. When we call on Him, the river overflows and refreshes our souls, enabling us to do God's work without getting burnt out. The woman at the well. This is the 4th message in Jill's 8-message series "Grace to Go On." Isaiah 58:11

In the Scriptures, oil is used as a symbol of joy and gladness. And we as Christians have a little pot of oil in us that will never run dry. The Holy Spirit is the oil in our lamps that keeps us burning, allowing us to be a light in this dark world. This is the 3rd message in Jill's 8-message series "Grace to Go On."
