          "I would ye should understand, brethren, that the
          things which happened unto me have fallen out [turned
          out] rather unto the furtherance of the gospel"
          (Philippians 1:12).

          In this verse, Paul tells the Christians in Philippi
          not to worry about all the things they'd heard had
          befallen him. And those "things" included great
          afflictions and infirmities!

          Paul wrote this epistle while bound in a Roman prison.
          At that point he was a seasoned warrior of the gospel,
          having endured every conceivable hardship and human
          affliction. If you've studied Paul's life, you know the
          kinds of things he'd faced: shipwrecks, beatings,
          buffetings, revilings, mockings, persecutions, hunger,
          thirst, nakedness, defamation of character.

          Paul's worst afflictions came at the hands of those who
          called themselves born-again believers. Some of his
          opponents were envious church leaders who turned entire
          congregations against him. They ridiculed his
          lifestyle, mocked his preaching, misrepresented his
          message, questioned his authority. Everywhere Paul
          went, it seemed, he was met by affliction, trouble and
          sorrow.

          Yet Paul said, "...none of these things move me..."
          (Acts 20:24). Furthermore, he added, "No man should be
          moved [troubled] by these afflictions: for yourselves
          know that we are appointed thereunto....we told you
          before that we would suffer tribulation..." (1
          Thessalonians 3:3-4).

          Paul was reassuring these believers, saying, "I've told
          you all along -- if you're going to walk with Jesus,
          you'll face afflictions. So, now that these afflictions
          have come upon me, why are you so surprised? This is
          our appointed lot in life."

          Paul repeated this even more bluntly to the
          Philippians: "For unto you it is given [assigned] in
          the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but
          also to suffer for his sake" (Philippians 1:29).

          There is a certain theology in the American church
          today that says, "If you have your faith worked out
          correctly, you won't suffer. You'll be prosperous and
          won't have to worry about having troubles." No -- those
          words don't appear in the Bible! On the contrary, Paul
          says we have been assigned to suffer for the sake of
          Christ.

          Moreover, Paul wrote that every day he woke up "...not
          knowing the things that shall befall me there: save
          that the Holy Spirit witnesseth [solemnly testifies to
          me] in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions
          abide [await] me" (Acts 20:22- 23).

          Try to get this picture in your mind: Here was a holy
          man, called by God to take the gospel to the nations.
          And on every holy assignment, the Holy Spirit whispered
          to him, "Paul, the next stop isn't going to be easy.
          You're going to face opposition again. You'll find more
          afflictions, more testings."

          I find this man's life absolutely amazing. Can you
          imagine it? Paul faced troubles and afflictions at
          every turn. The Holy Spirit told him to take a certain
          ship for a missions trip -- and the vessel ended up
          sinking; Paul had to swim for his life. The apostle
          then set out for his next appointment on foot -- and he
          was robbed along the way. Finally, Paul reached his
          next mission stop -- and instead of hearing his
          message, the people mocked him, beat him and cast him
          into prison.

          God delivered Paul from that jail cell. And when he was
          released, he shook the dust from his feet and started
          out for his next assignment. That's when the Holy
          Spirit told him, "Get ready, Paul -- because you're
          going back to jail. And then you're going to be stoned.
          I know you've been through a lot, but there are more
          afflictions ahead. Rejoice, Paul -- for you have been
          counted worthy to suffer for the sake of Christ!"

          Paul continued on to the next place -- and sure enough,
          he was stoned and left for dead. Yet God brought him
          back to life. Then, leaning on the handful of people
          who had accompanied him, he hobbled onward to his next
          appointment.

          His next mission stop was a church he had raised up.
          Yet when he arrived, he found that Alexander the
          coppersmith was now their leader. Alexander told him,
          "You're no longer needed, Paul." This man had turned
          the whole church against Paul, their founder, a
          shepherd who had hobbled for miles just to see them.

          So Paul went to his next assignment -- and again the
          Holy Ghost told him, "That's not all, Paul. There are
          more afflictions ahead."

          At this point you may be saying, "Wait a minute --
          you're talking about Paul's life, not mine. He was
          appointed by God to suffer afflictions. I haven't been
          called to such a life." Wrong! The Bible says: "Many
          are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord
          delivereth him out of them all" (Psalm 34:19).

          The phrase "many are the afflictions" applies not just
          to Paul, but to us as well. And I believe the more
          righteous we are, the more afflictions we will face. We
          love to hear the last part of that verse: "...the Lord
          delivereth him out of them all..." But do we rejoice in
          the first part as well? "Many are the afflictions of
          the righteous..."

          I say with Paul: Why are we so surprised when we one
          affliction after another comes upon us? We have been
          told to expect them, even many of them. Yet often we
          cry out in the midst of them, "Oh, God -- I've had
          enough! I don't understand why I have to endure all
          these things. You know I love you, that I've been
          faithful to you. So why am I having to take this? You
          said you wouldn't give me more than I could bear, and I
          can't bear any more. Please, cut these troubles short!"

          We want quick-and-easy deliverance. But our afflictions
          serve no purpose whatsoever if we do not understand why
          God permits them. The truth is that every affliction,
          trial, trouble, difficulty and disappointment in our
          life is allowed by the Lord. And he has a specific
          purpose behind all of them. Why? It is because he is
          taking us somewhere -- trying to accomplish something
          in us and through us!

          We all know it would be just as easy for God to keep us
          out of all afflictions. Jesus implied this when he
          asked the Pharisees, "Whether is easier, to say, Thy
          sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?"
          (Luke 5:23). He was saying, "I have the power to do
          both." So, wouldn't it be just as easy for him to
          shield us from afflictions as it would to let us go
          through them? He could deliver us with one spoken word!
          But he doesn't; instead, he allows us to go through our
          afflictions -- all for a divine purpose.

          If the Lord did not permit troubles in our life, that
          would represent the worst form of rejection. It would
          mean God is saying, "I have no special work for this
          believer, no plans for his life being set apart as a
          testimony. Therefore, I don't need to produce anything
          in him. Let him remain untrained, untutored, a man with
          a child's mind. Let him not abound in grace. Let him
          not learn through affliction so that he might teach
          others. Let him just exist and die in his
          childishness."

          I know Christians who refuse to learn from their
          afflictions. After a while, when God sees there is no
          purpose in allowing their troubles, he withdraws the
          afflictions. These Christians simply float through
          life, seeming not to have a problem in the world. But
          it is because they are not going anywhere! There is no
          future for them in God's plan. They are like the
          children of Israel, who floated through the wilderness
          for forty years. God tried the Israelites time after
          time -- but he finally gave up!

          Let me give you the key to understanding your
          afflictions:

                      -------------------------------

                            Every Affliction We
                          Suffer Is an Investment
                           God Is Making in Us!

                      -------------------------------

          When a parent sends a child to college, it requires a
          great investment. And that parent hopes his child will
          apply herself to the rigors of her training. Why? Does
          he hope she will graduate, come home, hang her diploma
          on the wall, then sit around the house watching
          television? No! That parent hopes his child will make
          his investment pay off by starting a good career.

          Likewise, when the U.S. military offers a free
          education to an enlisted soldier, those years of
          education are considered an investment. The soldier is
          told, "After you're educated, your nation and
          government want a certain amount of your time." That
          trained soldier is expected to serve in the armed
          forces for a number of years, to justify the
          investment.

          So it is with the Lord and our afflictions! Everything
          you go through as a Christian is a training exercise,
          behind which God has a divine purpose. He did not save
          you to allow you to cruise into paradise on a luxury
          liner; he saved you to prepare you to be of use in his
          kingdom. The moment you were born again, he enrolled
          you in his school of suffering. And every affliction,
          every trial, is another lesson in the curriculum!

          Some Christians are in kindergarten. Their afflictions
          are not difficult to understand, and their tests are
          much easier to endure. Others are in grade school, and
          they quickly learn that their tests have become a
          little tougher to face and harder to understand. Others
          are in college, and their afflictions are much more
          severe and more difficult to figure out. Still others
          are in postgraduate school, with years of hard
          affliction behind them and many difficult tests looming
          before them. Their afflictions are the toughest of
          their lives, and they realize they need Holy-Ghost
          strength to deal with them all.

          My point is, God wants veterans of spiritual warfare --
          people who have been through many afflictions -- to
          prove to the next generation his faithfulness. And our
          every affliction is an investment he is making in us as
          his veterans!

          So, you ask, does that mean God afflicts his own
          children? Listen to the psalmist's answer: "For thou, O
          God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is
          tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst
          affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride
          over our heads; we went through fire and through water:
          but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place" (Psalm
          66:10-12).

          Where does the psalmist say his affliction came from?
          It came directly from the hand of God! He's saying,
          "Lord, you put me in waters that rushed over my head,
          so I thought I would drown. You put me into the fire,
          to try me as silver is tried. You brought me into a
          net, laid affliction on my loins, caused men to trounce
          on me!"

          Why did God allow such afflictions? It was because he
          was bringing his beloved child into a "wealthy place."
          In the original Hebrew this phrase means, "a place of
          abundant fruitfulness." God is saying, "I'm taking you
          through all these hard places to make you fruitful for
          my kingdom!"

          Yet not all afflictions are from the hand of God. Many
          troubles come from the devil himself, straight from the
          pits of hell. "For he [God] doth not afflict willingly
          nor grieve the children of men" (Lamentations 3:33).
          God says, "I get no joy out of afflicting my children.
          That is not my purpose in allowing troubles." No -- the
          Lord allows our afflictions only for his holy, eternal
          purposes. It is to bring us into a "wealthy place"!

          Now, I am no apostle; I'm only a novice compared to
          Paul. But I'm old enough in the Lord to consider myself
          a veteran in the faith. And as I look back over the
          years, I can tell you it has been a lifetime of
          trouble, affliction, hardship and disappointment. I've
          written some books about it, but those books only touch
          on the highlights.

          I cringe with amazement as I remember all the sorrows,
          trials, deep waters, flaming fires and powerful
          afflictions. And usually when afflictions came, they
          came not just one at a time, but in bundles. Many times
          I thought, "There's no way I can make it through this."
          Even the memories of afflictions are painful --
          memories of slander, chastenings of the Lord, ministry
          trials, personal buffetings, family problems, bodily
          pains and aches. Yet, as I recall those years of
          suffering, I can say with assurance, "God's word is
          true! He brought me out of every affliction that came
          upon me. I praise him!"

          Almost any Christian reading this message could write a
          book about all the troubles and afflictions he or she
          has experienced. If you have served the Lord for any
          amount of time, I know you have a story to tell. Yet,
          what would that story sound like? Maybe it would go
          something like this: "I always have the peace and rest
          of the Holy Ghost. And I have wonderful fellowship with
          Jesus. But in this daily walk -- in this flesh I wear
          -- there has been such incredible pain, rejection,
          suffering, tears. It has been a lifetime of
          affliction!"

          If you love Jesus with all your heart, your testimony
          will be, "God has always brought me out. I never went
          under. I'm still here, and I'm praising the Lord. Those
          afflictions are behind me now. I may be in the midst of
          another one, but all the others are under the blood. I
          am victorious, because Jesus brought me through!"

          Perhaps there were times you almost fainted. You may
          have been so weak and weary you thought you couldn't go
          another step. But now, from where you stand, you can
          say, "No, I never want to go through that again -- but
          God brought me out of it. He has been faithful. Praise
          the Lord!"

          Yet God is not satisfied with a heartfelt "thank you"
          from us. Rather, he says, "Wait just a moment, my
          child. I did not bring you through all these troubles
          and afflictions just to make you a grateful overcomer.
          No -- I have a big investment in you. I've spent years
          training you, putting you through all these things for
          a purpose. And I'm not going to let you waste them now.
          I fully intend that my investment pay off. I tell you,
          your best work is ahead of you!"

          Now, as you emerge from your college-level afflictions,
          God opens your eyes to your struggling friends in
          kindergarten. These beloved ones don't think they can
          make it. So, what do you do with your affliction
          experiences? God whispers to you, "I need seasoned,
          tested veterans -- people who have survived deep waters
          and awful fires, who have been refined through
          suffering. I want people who will prove my faithfulness
          to this generation!"

          The psalmist writes: "...that ye may tell it to the
          generation following" (Psalm 48:13). "Now also when I
          am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I
          have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy
          power to everyone that is to come..." (71:18).

          Paul sums it all up beautifully: "But I would ye should
          understand, brethren, that the things which happened
          unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of
          the gospel..." (Philippians 1:12). That is saying
          something! When Paul wrote this, he was an older man
          with years of experience -- and he was in the midst of
          one of the worst trials of his life. He spoke to his
          friends from his heart:

          "It would be the most wonderful thing right now if I
          could go home and be with my Lord. That is my greatest
          desire. But I'm a veteran -- I've been through
          afflictions and trials -- and I know I'm needed here.
          This generation needs to see a sufferer who survives
          and rejoices in any affliction. My son Timothy is going
          to face all that I've faced, and he needs to know that
          God will bring him through. So, it is best that I stay
          and endure these deep afflictions. Look at me -- not
          only have I survived, but I have true hope. I'm not
          down or depressed. I rejoice in the Lord for all he has
          brought me through!"

          "...I shall abide and continue with you all for your
          furtherance and joy of faith" (verse 25). Paul is
          saying, "You know I've been through fires, infirmities,
          robberies, shipwrecks. At times I've even despaired of
          life. But God has delivered me from it all. And now I'm
          going to abide and continue with you for the
          furtherance and joy of your faith. I want to teach you
          that you don't have to be terrified of any adversary!"

          Beloved, I have a question for you: No matter how long
          you've been walking with Jesus, you surely have known
          pains, trials, afflictions. So, how have you behaved in
          them? What has been the outcome, the result of your
          experiences? Have your afflictions all been in vain? Or
          have you learned of God's love and faithfulness in the
          midst of them?

                      -------------------------------

                       How We Behave During Our Times
                        of Affliction Has Everything
                          to Do With the Results!

                      -------------------------------

          Let's say you're a dedicated believer who has laid down
          his life for Jesus. You have a burden for a dying
          world, you weep for the lost -- and you have a clear
          command to take the good news and win souls. So you
          tell all your friends you're going to a certain city to
          testify of God's grace.

          Yet after you arrive, your friends back home receive
          word that you're not being used of God at all. There is
          no congregation as planned; in fact, your ministry is
          dead. You have nothing to show for your efforts. And
          rather than stirring the city up for Christ, you've
          landed in jail!

          How would you react if all you had to show for your
          dedication, labors and sacrifice was utter failure? How
          would you behave if God shut you down, bound your hands
          and left you helpless?

          Some Christians would pout. They would doubt God's word
          to them and question the Spirit's leading. They would
          give Jesus the silent treatment -- whimpering,
          doubting, complaining to their friends. And the whole
          trial of their faith -- the affliction meant to throw
          them into Jesus' arms -- would be wasted, with no
          effect whatsoever.

          Yet others Christians would respond as Paul did --
          rejoicing that they'd been counted worthy to suffer for
          Christ's sake. Paul did not try to figure out his
          afflictions. He responded with joy, faith and hope --
          because he knew he was in training as God's witness! He
          wrote to his friends from jail, "My situation is the
          topic of Caesar's palace. Everyone in Rome is talking
          about what's happening to me. I'm in jail for Jesus!"
          He must have been quite a sight in that prison cell --
          a scrawny Jew encouraging everyone around him, "Rejoice
          in your afflictions. God is faithful!"

          Paul didn't waste any of his afflictions. He knew each
          of them had a divine purpose. And the Lord is watching
          how we behave during our trials as well. Let me give
          you three ways our afflictions are wasted:

          1. We waste afflictions by whiny, murmuring,
          complaining behavior. This kind of behavior disturbs
          the Lord. It was the reason every test and affliction
          Israel experienced in the wilderness was lost on them!

          The book of Numbers contains a sad example of wasted
          afflictions. The five daughters of a man called
          Zelophehad came to Moses asking for a share in the
          possession of the Promised Land. They told Moses, "Our
          father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
          company of them that gathered themselves together
          against the Lord in the company of Korah; but he died
          in his own sin, and had no sons" (Numbers 27:3). These
          women were saying, "When all the others rose up against
          you with Korah, our father wasn't one of them. He
          wasn't in rebellion. He died in his own sin."

          This last phrase struck me as I read it: "He died in
          his own sin." This meant that although their father had
          seen incredible miracles -- deliverance out of Egypt,
          water flowing from a rock, manna coming from heaven --
          he died in unbelief with the rest of his generation. Of
          that generation, only faithful Joshua and Caleb
          survived the wilderness.

          Obviously, these five daughters were born in the
          wilderness -- and they grew up in a family full of
          anger toward God. All of Israel's testings and trials
          produced only hardened unbelief in their father. And
          all these young women heard growing up was murmuring,
          complaining and bitterness. At breakfast, lunch and
          supper, there was constant bellyaching, with never a
          word of faith or trust in God. Now these women had to
          tell Moses, "Our father left us with nothing -- no
          hope, no possession, no testimony. He spent those forty
          years whining and in bitterness, because life was hard.
          He died in sin, his life a total waste!"

          What a horrible thing to have to say of one's parents.
          Yet I must warn all parents reading this: Your children
          are watching you as you're under affliction! And they
          are being influenced for life by your behavior. So, how
          are you behaving? Are you wasting your affliction --
          not only for yourself, but for the generations that
          follow? Or, are your heirs being established in Christ
          as they hear you say, "I don't like this affliction --
          but blessed be the name of the Lord. He always
          delivers!"

          I know many Christians who have become more bitter and
          grumpy with every new affliction. You would think their
          God is dead. They even look sour; over the years
          they've become prune- faced. The very afflictions meant
          to train and sweeten them -- trials designed by God to
          reveal his faithfulness -- instead turn them into
          habitual bellyachers, sourpusses, meanies. I wonder as
          I see them, "Where is their faith, their trust in the
          Lord? What must their children think?"

          I've buried a lot of people in my lifetime, and in that
          time I've discovered something tragic: Those who become
          sour and bitter watch helplessly as their loved ones
          gradually pull away from them. Their children pull
          away, along with their grandchildren and friends. And
          those sourpusses end up dying alone. I've conducted
          some funerals where only one person attended. The
          deceased were forgotten almost entirely. God allowed
          them to go out with nobody!

          Beloved, don't waste your afflictions! Let them produce
          in you the sweet aroma of trust and faith in your Lord.
          All your trials are intended to throw you into his
          arms, to cause you to say, "I am his, and he is mine.
          And he will bring me through this affliction!"

          2. We waste afflictions when we face new ones without
          remembering our deliverances from old ones. We have a
          tendency to forget every good thing God has done for
          us!

          When David stood before Goliath, he rehearsed his past
          victories in order to build up his faith. He recounted,
          "When a lion came toward me, I tore it apart. And when
          a bear came after me, I killed it too. Now the same God
          who delivered me from the roaring lion and the
          ferocious bear will deliver me from this giant!"

          Moses reminded Israel of all their past deliverances.
          Then he warned them: "Take heed to thyself, and keep
          thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which
          thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy
          heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy
          sons, and thy sons' sons" (Deuteronomy 4:9).

          Sadly, the Bible says of Israel: "They kept not the
          covenant of God...and forgot his works, and his wonders
          that he had shewed them" (Psalm 78:10-11). Like the
          Israelites, we have the same tendency whenever we face
          a new trial or affliction. We say, "Oh, God, this time
          it's too much for me to face." But God answers, "Simply
          look back, and remember me!"

          If need be, keep a journal to remind yourself of God's
          great deliverances in your life. Jot down a few notes
          at night before going to bed. Do whatever it takes to
          remind yourself of all the things he has done for you
          -- all the heartaches you've been through, from which
          he has delivered you. Then, when your next affliction
          arises, open your notebook and say to the devil,
          "You're not going to deceive me this time. My God
          brought me out before, and he will do it again!"

          3. We waste our afflictions when we refuse to see that
          God brings us through them in order to teach others. We
          are to share our experiences with our brothers and
          sisters to prove God's faithfulness to them. We are to
          stand and say, "Thank God, I'm a veteran. And I can
          tell you by experience -- he is faithful!" Paul
          actually boasted of his afflictions: "...I bear in my
          body the marks of the Lord Jesus" (Galatians 6:17). He
          knew each scar bore an eternal purpose!

                      -------------------------------

                          Why Do You Think God Has
                           Delivered You From All
                          Your Past Afflictions?

                      -------------------------------

          David wrote: "In my distress I called upon the Lord,
          and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his
          temple, and my cry came before him, even into his
          ears....He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out
          of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy,
          and from them which hated me: for they were too strong
          for me. They prevented [came upon] me in the day of my
          calamity: but the Lord was my stay. He brought me forth
          also into a large place; he delivered me, because he
          delighted in me" (Psalm 18:6, 16-19).

          Dear saint, rest assured -- if you're being afflicted,
          it is because God delights in you. "Whom the Lord
          loveth he chasteneth..." (Hebrews 12:6). Your
          afflictions are a sign of his love!

          You must also remember that whatever you're going
          through will pass. Recently, I read a passage in one of
          my journals, which I wrote while going through a great
          trial. Three months' worth of entries all ended with
          the same phrase: "Oh, God, when will this nightmare
          end?" Then, finally, these words appeared across a page
          in huge letters: "IT'S OVER -- HE HAS DELIVERED!"

          I can honestly say I have learned more in my
          afflictions than I ever did in good times. Prosperity
          doesn't teach us; afflictions do. The humanitarian
          Albert Schweitzer said, "Happiness is good health and a
          bad memory." No -- happiness is remembering all the
          ways God has brought us through!

          I ask you again: How are you reacting to your
          afflictions? Are you wasting them, becoming a doubter
          and complainer? Or are you building up your faith,
          knowing that your God delivers?

          There is only one way to endure your present troubles:
          Remember that your heavenly father delights in you! He
          has a plan at work, a great investment in you. And
          "...he which hath begun a good work in you will perform
          it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6).
          Your father is preparing you to be a veteran of
          spiritual warfare -- an example of faith and trust to
          this generation. Hallelujah!
