Are you willing to go through for your breakthrough?

We are more than conquers

In order to be a conquer there must be something to overcome. 1 Peter 4:12 "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:" We should not be surprised when we face trials in fact we should rejoice because His glory will be reveled.
Some trials however are personal 1 Peter 4:15 "But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters." We may not have been a murder, or thief but at one time or another we have been actively involved in someone else's business. Trials are always temporary. Psalms 30:5 "For His anger [is but for] a moment, His favor [is for] life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy [comes] in the morning." Even if God allows us to go through something out of His anger its only for a moment. Psalms 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You [are] with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." You do not stop and build a house in a trial it is something that constantly pushes you forward. You are not alone in your trial for God is=2 0with you and His rod and staff is a comfort to you.
Trials have a purpose Romans 8:28 says "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose." and the reason we go through trials is explained in Philippians 3:10 "that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death," God uses trials to get closer to us. How much more fervently do we seek God when we are going through. How often does He hear from us when all is well?

Romans 8:37-39 "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." We are hypernikaƍ (More than conquers) through Christ. Nothing shall separate us from the love of God, not even trials.

Keep in mind there are trials in every success story, some are long, some are intense, and some are dark. What are you willing to go through for your breakthrough?
