Now that we have seen from the scriptures that trials do come to believers too, trails of their faith, oppositions, etc. Most reasons because we are not of this world even though we live their in and different things tend to work against us. In light of this, we ought to consider what our responses should be whenever we find ourselves on such conditions, The Lord wishes good for us and he is willing to save us from every trials, strengthen us and hold us to himself tightly.

Jesus remarked:
John 16:33 KJVS
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Jesus has won the victory for the US from the onset of everything, we must see this and bask in this victory everyday, even during trials, we must have a resolute mindset and see the situation becoming better for us because we are overcomers.

Hear Jesus again:
John 14:27 KJVS
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus assured us that we have peace, not any kind of peace, but Jesus's peace! That's supreme and because of this he told us not to let our heart be troubled, fear shouldn't crept in because of whatever we are experiencing, his peace reigns Supreme in our hearts.

Right there in the epistles, we can testify to this truth:
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 KJVS
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; [9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Even though they sometimes come, we will always emerge as the victor.

2 Corinthians 4:16-17 KJVS
[16] For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

We faint not, neither are we moved by them.
1 Thessalonians 3:3 KJVS
That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

We must rejoice always, for the lord is with us and nothing can be against us, we are the triumphant ones and we must live from this position, through this way, we'll be able to overcome all trials.
Be encouraged.

Good afternoon
