Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
When you passes through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walks through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you.
Forasmuch then as Christ have suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that have suffered in the flesh have ceased from sin; that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

..Wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Do you look on things after the outward appearance?

First, God seen the devil observing the anointing, and wanting to be worshiped for seeing it, but God made the devil for the evil day...saying to him, Have you considered my servant Job?...
Second, the Lord seen Judas Iscariot, that he was the son of perdition and that he would betray him, saying to him, What you do?, do quickly...
Thirdly, I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree, just like Saul chasing David? And yet he passed away, and, look, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found, (that spiritual wickedness in a high place) and me saying to him, Who are you?...
The Lord went to a fig tree expecting fruit and there was none, so he cursed it, that no one should eat from it forever. Currently the fig tree withered away, judgment was already pronounced. So rest and know there is nothing else to do, but to live and serve the Lord. And Abimelech king of the Philistines, God pronounced judgment on him, saying, You are nothing but a dead man, because you took a man's wife into your home..and also the Philistines, taking the ark of the covenant, putting it in their temple next to their god, judgment was already pronounced, it's just a matter of time...I think, I better let it go...It looks like another love that I can't hold...everyone is not ordained to be saved!...Amen.
