While my wife related to me a story, the Holy Spirit impressed these words in my heart, "This Is Not An Exit." The Holy Spirit began to speak that there are many believers who are trying to get out of; that is, avoid trials, tests, and troubles. Though many sermons and teachings are coming to convince people that they do not have to deal with difficulties. This is in direct opposition to what the scriptures teach. The Holy Spirit brought to mind the scriptures that speaks of the trying of our faith being more precious than gold. Thus, a believer's perfected faith in valuable in the sight of God. So, He will allow us to experience difficulties and hard times to develop strong faith. This shows us that we can't try to use scriptures and other religious activities as an exit from the perfecting and maturing of our faith.

Those who may be experiencing difficulties at this moment, continue to trust in the Lord and do good. Though it does not seem right or seem fair, if you endure hardness, it will produce in you the peaceable fruits of righteous. Be encouraged knowing that other believers are experiencing what you are experiencing. Remember, there is a reward, for after you have suffered awhile, God will strengthen you, settle you, stablish you, and make you perfect in Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
