Trial By Fire-Thorn in Flesh--The Sword (Revelation, believe, Jesus Christ, Bible)

[Sheila Renae]

What do God's chosen have to go through to become spokespersons for God? Did they go through the trial by fire like Job did?
Did they have to go through JUDGEMENT first?
1 Timothy 5:24--Some men's sins are open beforehand, going BEFORE to judgement; and some men they follow after.
1 Peter 4:12-17 --Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:--13,14,15,16,17
Hebrews 10:31-32 --31-It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32--But call to rememberance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions.
2 Corinthians 12 7-9--And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure 8--For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9--And he saith unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
1 Peter 1:7--That the TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH, being much more precious than gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 12:5-6--Phillipians 1:29-30--Galatians 4:13-14--1 Thess. 1:6--2 Thess. 1:4-5
Did the Apostles have to be tempted/sifted by Satan? Does God use Satan as a TOOL to test knowledge of His word/truths? Did he allow himself to be tempted by Satan as an example of what judgement might be like and to show what will be needed (knowledge of His word)?? I believe that EVERYTHING He did when he walked among us was to teach and set examples. The Bible speaks of judgement as a trial by fire and the Apostles as having gone through a fiery trial. Did God reveal what judgement is going to be like?
1 Corinthians 3:13-20--2 Corinthians 5;10--1 Peter 4:1-2--Romans 13:1-6--Hebrews 4:12--Luke 12:47-48
Were they delivered the Sword of God?

We are not of this world. What do you think happens after that?

[Sheila Renae]

We are not of the WAYS of this world. There is no place that God isn't. The kingdom of God comes forth from within. When we wake up and become obedient, He says that then will He hear us, reign upon this Earth for a thousand years and we will be new creations. There are supposed to be 144,000 who are like minded with Him, know all His ways and will be the teachers upon Earth. That's just what I'm getting from the word. How about you?

8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
