God uses your affliction to promote you

Romans 8: 1: "Now therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."
The problem we are facing today and facing our country, rather than an economic, health, political, social or family problem, is a battle of faith and the Word of God teaches us that without faith it is impossible to please God, to enter The throne of grace requires faith and we can not enter with confidence before Him, if we do not have faith. Jesus taught that for him who believes everything is possible, so our impossibilities are not because God does not want to give us something, it is a problem that we have today with faith; if Satan steals our faith, steals our future, and steals the prayers, because if there is no faith in prayer there is no power in it.

When we understand that there are situations that we are going through due to an error, or a bad decision, we are more likely to have faith to get out of them, but the problem is when these circumstances come and we feel that it is something undeserved, that we are serving God, that we are obeying him and we say why? We still have people close to us who tell us, if you have sown so much why you do not have to eat; the devil will not attack us when we are in success, those attacks will come when we are in circumstances, in adversities and we do not have the explanation of why they are coming into our life.

We are living a moment in which only with faith we will prevail and remain, we will let the Bible speak louder than our problem, let the voice of God speak louder than the reality we are living.

This verse was written by Paul, who was a lawyer, a man who knew of laws; It is important to understand that a condemnation is a sentence of a judge, which affects the future, because of something that was done in the past and he is saying there is no condemnation, nor decree of a judge to condemn us, if we are in Christ; no believer should be condemned to live in failure, if we were born poor, we do not have to die poor, because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Genesis 37: 1-8 "Jacob lived in the land where his father had lived, in the land of Canaan. This is the story of Jacob's family: Joseph, being seventeen years old, fed the sheep with his brothers; and the young man was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah, their father's wives; and Joseph informed his father of their bad reputation. And Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had had him in his old age; and he made a tunic of different colors. And seeing his brothers that his father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and they could not speak to him peacefully. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brothers; and they came to hate him even more. And he said to them, Hear now this dream which I have dreamed: Behold, we were binding bundles in the middle of the field, and behold, my bundle stood up and was straight, and that your bundles were round about and bowed down to mine. His brothers answered: Will you reign over us, or will you rule over us? And they hated him even more because of his dreams and his words. "

We must have faith and not doubt the Word, we must believe that it is true and our arguments are not, that is the only way in which we can prevail. Faith is a seed that is implanted in hearts, which comes from hearing the Word; God does not see the seed, but what he dreamed, because He did not design a seed to remain as seed, but to be the initiator of his dream, says the Bible that things that eye did not see, nor heard heard, nor have raised to the heart of man are those that God has prepared, it means that he has plans and thoughts, but begins to work on a seed that needs to go through a process. Faith is a seed and needs to be processed to develop to what God dreamed.

This dream that Joseph had, it was not a dream of Him, it was a dream of God, says the book of Proverbs that many plans are in the heart of man but the purpose of God is the one that will remain, that is, the plan what God has for each one of us; we are not a coincidence, we are the dream of God, Satan has wanted to convince us that we are God's nightmare, but we are here because God dreamed us, we are what we are because God dreamed us and what He dreams he dreams great and begins to work on us in the form of seed to take us to your dream and purpose.

Excellent message @jenniferbrito without a doubt God will always covert what we think is our end for his glory, all things help those who love God for good.

The affliction can come for several reasons, for disobedience (allowed by God to get away from sin) or to take us to new levels, regardless of the consequences of the affliction we must have the comfort that God is disciplining us as a Father would do to his children , the sadness that comes from God is for life, while the sadness that comes from the world is for death. We have to be grateful in the midst of the worst circumstances and extend our vision that emotions and circumstances are temporary, that we have a future glory set aside for us who are coheirs with Christ and that the word of God is the only thing that remains forever. God bless you

The affliction of the Christian must take him to a moment of reflection: What does God want me to learn from this situation? Keep calm and faith.

God has our plan, we are all for one purpose
