He was tested likewise Job needed to be. But, also mark that not all suffering comes from God. I disagree it wasnt for life time coz God remembered Job and gave to him what he wanted or needed. I thnk we serve a wonderful who knows the end, so i thnk Job was going to pass any test that God was going to allow satan to try satan for God instructed satan on what to do.
So whatever period He suffered God was still control. No one can confidently say how long Job suffered because a thousand years to man is like one day in the sight of God.
The lessons of patience and perseverance in the story of Job should be enough to occupy the human mind. Or did he ever think in the back of his mind it might all happen again? The reason we go through times of tests and trials is to break us down and away from our Heavenly Father. Non believers go through events to seek the Lord to solve their problems.
In all we all go through difficult times for different reasons and purposes. Depends on your heart condition. Remember God never forces anyone to love Him. He is a loving God that gives us all a freedom of choice.
My husband has been in a coma brain dead and paralyse for 6 years, going 7 years going to , we lost everything our home with my 3 kids and everything and living with my parents. Praying daily and spiritual grounded.
How long do I stand. Please, my sister, kindly accept my empathy. Regarding how long you will wait, no man can tell you how long. But you must make sure you are not disconected from the ONE who will visit your sotuation one day and give you the victory at last. Hello petunia, in response to your question, remember when the children of Israel was in captivity for four hundred and thirty years; the Bible said they cried out unto God and sent them a prophet who delivered them from their afflictions.
Now if you can take my counsel, look for a prophet anointed by God and you will solution. I recommend you prophet T. B Joshua. But you do I will encourage you to watch some of his programmes on YouTube and channel This could be the answer you have been looking for. Dont look to prophet td joshua but to Christ who died for u. I know that Job did not suffer forever. God has given us times and seasons-Eccto In 1 Corinthians says that God will not suffer us to be tempted above our ability.
The lesson there is that God is a rewarder of those who trust in Him. He rewarded Job. Reading all comments has been very helpful, praying for my children who was bought up in the church bit seem to think God is not the God they were bought up to believe in because of their constant trials and suffering, lo ok king thru scriptures believing God will allow his words to be planted as a seed in their spirit.
A little help please. One thing I do know God time is not ours it may seems unbearable but what can we do what can we say. I also wonder how long does suffering last. My wife has been suffering with chronic pain and other medical issues for over ten years. The conditions have caused her to have major mood swings and harsh depression. Sometimes I wonder if and when this will pass and when she will be healed.
I just wonder. Chronic illnesses are very difficult for the person and those who love them. And I have no good answers. Thank you for the possitive comments and response… It has blessed me.. No chronic illness before creator God of universe. Why not try praises, an irresistible tool that pierces heaven….
Try learning about the vegan eating lifestyle. No dairy, no meat, etc. I had debilitating pain for many years but once I switched to this type of daily eating I am now pain free. Get with a professional that can develop an eating plan for your wife and you may be amazed at the difference it will make in her pain.
I hope this helps. God works in mysterious ways. Daniel was thrown in the lions den Shedrack, Mishack and Abendigo was thrown in the firery furnace overnight these four mighty men of GOD the result was suppose to be instant death. It always seems easy out and difficult to be in. Our attitude determine our altitude Peter was thrown into prison but sing a song.
There is know situation worse than hell when a person lift up his eyes there. Our trials might seems great but theres a greater blessing after this. God is protecting us probably from eternal domination. Suffering is hard stuff. Frankly turning my back on God is a no no.
But other than my crawling in faith in Him. Its has led me to being fearful I seem to expect another jab for every new thing I try, at this point I remember verses like the Proverb and the parable of a good father not giving a snake for a fish and it leaves me very perplexed.
I start to wonder what posture God is looking at me with or is my understanding of God wrong. But still I make the prayer and read the bible because it would be so dark without them. After all He is God and you could suffer all the days here and all He is is interested in is that you seek Him I could be wrong but honestly speaking at this moment its all I see.
Periodic suffering is an integral challenge of life. However some suffering are product of ignorance on our part, some are self-inflicted and some come upon us due to violation of natural and divine laws. But I have learnt to pray to God to show me the root cause of my affliction and he has been merciful to reveal them and in most instances, the solution, has not been what I expected.
I recently relocated to England from Africa but during my first winter I developed severe itching which does not respond to all the medications that I was given. I prayed all manners of prayers but there was no respite. Immediately I painted the walls that was the end of my affliction.
Praise God. Reading through these comments has been extremely helpful to me. I have been going through a financial crisis for 7 months. None of it makes sense to me and I have had points of it being so dark and me having to spend days just reading scriptures on encouragement.
I have totally surrendered and I am looking forward to the victory because God has no respect of a person so I will receive a double return in the name of Jesus. I just finished rereading the book of Job. Curse God and die! I get the feeling she was very angry with God. Can we assume Job only had one wife? This means she had already had ten children and later ten more. I have went through almost every type of suffering there is and I can say for myself that physical suffering is by far the worst.
Does anyone relate to this? I can relate. Been reading these posts today. I have had junenile onset diabetes type one. For 37 years. Severe depression for the past two years. I often wish that nature had taken its course, and I would have died young. Have been reading the book of Job recently, and that is how I came across this website.
I pray and hope that God can restore me. Nothing yet, that I can perceive. In and through it all, we must remember that Jesus came to give us a great and sweet life. We must constantly cast all our cares on Him and insist on our joy! Stick to the Word and be joyous always.
Trials and Temptations 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
It says that he died after another years, having seen four generations of children. If a generation is about 65 years, my guess working backwards would mean he was about 45 as middle eastern families started quite early. I am basically completely devastated by my suffering, and because of the person causing it. I have lost my son, my car,my house and several relatives who loved me because of this person who happens to be my mother.
She is a satanic witch who is hell bent on killing me and has even mentioned it. I have prayed to the point of complete and utter despair with no answer from God except to give me visions of the future, which depict me as being poor. Through her witchcraft and regular sacrifices she has managed to destroy any opportunities for work or networking with people who can help me.
She loves my stepbrother and has ensured his success through her evil to enrich him and ruin my life simultaneously. I have prayed and fasted to no avail. Michael, have you sought for help, advice from a local church and pastor?
Some of the churches may even have counselors available to work with you. You need a word of Knowledge and a standard of Praise also lifted against these demonic spirits to shut it down. I pray that whatever opening the enemy had to you will be revealed via a word of knowledge for you via a seasoned believer. The Lord needs to be able to break your original foundation. She needs to have no power in your life. Whatever seeds she sowed and took root needs to be uprooted and new seed sown.
Therefore, we pray that her spiritual parental right be removed from you. Having given your life to Christ, we destroy any and all demonic influences from her that she is claiming in your life in order to effect her demonic orders in your life.
Father, remove all influence from his life. Reveal to him every area of an altar built to any demonic spirits that either of his parents has connected to him and destroy them by the blood of the Lamb. Every curse and incantation, void them. I speak your deliverance and blessing by the blood and the Resurrection in your life.
I also pray that through Michael, You would start a new generational promise and pass the generational blessings from him to his children. May he not be able to exercise any of them. Give Michael the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of renewing his covenant relationship with You in Christ so that it will pass on to the next generation in Victory thus crushing the old generational curses of Satanism and defeat.
Come LORD! Leave the inheritance of Your testimony of victory on his life to his children. Ignite the inheritance of the priesthood of Christ in them. The more important question should be — Why did Job suffer? Satan boasted of walking up and down on the earth indicating possession of the earth but God points to His servant Job as an example that Satan does not have total command of the earth.
The friends of Job had a very simplistic theology about why suffering comes to us be good you are blessed — if you are being blessed, you must be good and if you are not blessed, you must be a terrible sinner. Life is much more complicated than that! Look to the cross for the answer. Did God kill His son? No, he gave Him up to the natural consequences of becoming sin — Death!
But having never sinned Himself, His father called Him from the tomb. The cross and the tomb are necessary for our salvation! Trials come to make us strong! Note, Job was firmer in his latter years than in his former years. For Yahweh Barach the latter years of Job more than his beginning!
As it is written: only those that endures to the end shall be saved. What is endurance? Only when you endure to the end you can be saved! As it is written: Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which Yahweh has prepared for those who love Him.
It makes no sense for one to toil and bear such pain and hardship only to loose out in the end, as I read and listened to the hearts of those who shared and cried out I was lead to share the Truth with you as only the truth can set you free!
For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as Yahweh our Elohiym will call. May you all have a Baruch Yom! May the Shalom of Yahweh be upon all those who love him and seek to do his will! In short, do the next obvious thing. If the floor needs sweeping, sweep the floor.
Stop looking for miracles. Get on with it. Stop wishing. Stop second guessing God. You will never get to the end of his wisdom, authority or understanding. God is God. Clothed in light. Shrouded in darkness. All that has been, and ever will be. You will never come to the end of his unfolding revelation, at least not here. Pray, read, study, receive, do good, be humble.
Give thanks. Join a group. Get support. Get grief counseling. Anger management. Whatever it takes. But do not go it alone. Develop a routine. As hard as that feels sometimes. Keep a schedule. Stick to it as well as you can. Take time out for entertainment, your favorite snack. Watch a movie that you have enjoyed before. Write a letter of encouragement to someone else. Spend time with friends. Remember the basics. The cross.
This is the essence of the gospel. Choose to believe it. When all else fails, and your understanding falters, it will be your rock that will bring you back to peace. Write it down. Remind yourself. Do it one day at a time. One day, one step.
One project. One thing well. As much as lays within you, be at peace with others. Forgive, pray, rejoice, give thanks. I have suffered the loss of my whole family through estrangement and alienation for over 30 years. I have cried out to God all this time but nothing has changed.
My whole famil6 of origin is estranged from me and from one another. I have done everything possible to try to be a peacemaker to no avail. God remains as silent as a tomb to this very day. My soul is wrecked. I know that Job did sin. We are all sinners. Consider — was Job punished so harshly compared to others who were guilty of much worse? Job was questioning the fairness of God. He wanted a fair trial but alas, God is all powerful and in control.
He is judge and jurer. I think the story reflects our own harsh judgments of people who are suffering, losing their way, disadvantaged, living low, enduring hardship and bad luck, sickness, exile, etc. Sometimes we look at those people and make general assumptions that they made the wrong choices, or brought all their bad luck on themselves. We do this, primarily to differentiate ourselves from them.
It can happen to any one of us at any time. Our success, health and well-being is always in the hands of God. It all comes from God. It is called spiritual poison which removes you from the grace of God. I am getting better since I was poison 5 years ago by a Princess. We should not eat anything or take gifts from our enemies as the spiritual poisons can be embedded in food and gift. Pray before you eat food and pray against any monitoring spirit when you accept gifts.
I have tried 3 times to die, overdoses that should have killed me, but I just keep waking up. I have a gun and realize that this is the way I need to go. For 7 years, I have suffered crippling pain. A friend is letting me live in a room rent free but I can not continue to impose. I was hospitalized 3 times between thanksgiving and christmas with various infections. I want it all to end. My prayers have never been answered whether to ask for release of this pain or even to thank Him for making me suffer.
I have made a bottle of shampoo last for 3 years as I have a difficult time even getting enough energy to shower. I managed to take one today as it had been 5 weeks since I had enough strength to stand long enough. I have read Job many times and wish my life had been so easy. Sheri, first, congratulations on doing the shower thing.
That shows you still have hope, or you would not do it. This is not a small thing. It is huge. It shows you have strength, and a will to fight. There will be no easy answers, but there is a better way. If you read this, send me a message : boone teachers.
