Acceptance: Suffering Is Not For Nothing with Elisabeth Elliot 

awww. yeah definitely not an accident☺

Oh Praise God for blessing us with Elizabeth Elliot. thank Yoy Lord God She touched hearts and guides us to see clearly I knew this when Jesus found me but strayed and in doing so forgot what I knew about suffering..which Took me back into a childhood pattern of isolation coping mechanism in pain But now I know thank God!! I need Jesus every minute

Me too...just a random video. Her voice and message is so soothing to my soul.

Same happened to my mum. Not looked at anything similar. Having a listen now (on 1.75 speed - bit too slow for me on normal speed)

Hello how are you doing Steve. I trust you are safe and in good health. God bless you.

I totally agree the depth, the grace, and the wisdom (I’m in awe). What an incredible message.

God bless you!

It is a difficult topic that only gets solved with more understanding and experience in the walk with God. This is why things like Elders are important to guide us.

Faith is a verb. My first born son just died.

@@tonimoseley2395 May the Lord's tender mercies be of great comfort to your heart. I am so sorry.

@@tonimoseley2395 So very sorry. As someone who has experienced a loss due to crib death i know your pain. I pray the GOD blesses you with HIS perfect peace during this time. And I know words cannot convey the depths of the pain and sorrow or answer the question " why" I've struggled with this and was changed by this same question unanswered. I pray that your broken heart is filled with HIS peace again and yes I know how difficult it is especially when it only seems like words spoken or written and have no instructions on how...You are in my prayers ❤🙏❤

I absolutely love and live by this saying. “Do the next thing “♥️

I can only think of all the grieving I could have avoided if I had this perfectly simple truth in direction sooner. Better late than never.❤🙏❤

Run to Jesus!

Masochism Is Not the type of Suffering Jesus speaks of. The road to Hell is broad and you are on it. But you know this. If you know the Bible's Truth, you that all sorcery is bound for Hell. All witchcraft is an abomination. A Rebuke in the Name of Jesus, is sometimes the most Beautiful form of God's Love. Stop appealing to sexual immorality, entertaining demonic spirits and satanic worship or you will never know what the true joy of Suffering is. May you turn to Jesus, The One and Only Truth. - Christina

@@christinaperrigo but Jesus did sorcery too. He changed water into wine. He controlled the weather. He raised a man from the dead. He could read people's minds & tell the future. He made a coin appear in the mouth of a fish. Jesus was an awesome sorcerer.

@@alicewhitelhpw7517 No, Jesus was God in the flesh. He had and has control over all things. Witchcraft is evil

@@alicewhitelhpw7517 You pervert the Gospel. You relish in wickedness. You serve the anti christ before he is even exposed. Do not speak that way about My GOD. I have seen wickedness. I have served wickedness. Sorcery combined with sexual immorality almost killed my children because I was too blind as to what was going on underneath my nose by my sorcerer ex husband who is now in prison for pedophilia. So many roads to Hell. One road to Heaven. Jesus Saves. Satan counterfeits everything. Jesus did and does miracles. Satan's counterfeit for miracles is sorcery. He is so cheap and jealous. Demons are real and They Are Ugly. The Darkness has never understood The Light. It will Not come near the Light. I am called to pray for you. That is true. But do not propose to pervert a woman of God's message again and try to act as if it is God sent. That woman's husband died serving The Lord Jesus Christ. When he died, his murderers could hear Angels singing and later came to Christ because of that. .. You know nothing of Jesus. This Jesus is More Than Wonderful. He IS THE GREAT I AM. HE IS JEHOVAH. HE IS YAHWEH. Read the book of Acts. Read about Simon the Sorcerer. I pray that you speak in ignorance. If you are not, You are Blasphemous woman, Babylon with wings of a stork and you need to Repent or you will Reap what you are sowing in 70 fold. God Bless your lost and broken soul.- Christina

It is believed that the "Messenger of Satan" God sent to Paul was a false teacher destroying his ministry and leading believers Paul was shepherding astray. With enough context this is the most likely meaning. "Messenger of Satan" almost has to refer to a false teacher when the term is used by Paul who spends a lot of time talking about false teachers being associated with demons and Satan.

I heard it might be a terrible eye affliction because his sight was so bad he later couldn't see the High Priest and spoke against. What do you think? Nothing wrong with wondering what his suffering could have been. God bless you, Cheryl. :)

We grow in difficulty

@@youareloved2869 sometimes... but sometimes it's just standard abstract theological "bla bla" - going through terrible experiences can be a way to shape an individual etc...While this can certainly be true to some extent, it's not hard to find people who’d rather not go through trauma to learn a lesson, the same way that you can find other individuals who survived horrible situations that taught them things they already know - or worse, nothing at all.

@@michaelbrighton5738 it drives us closer to Christ to share in His suffering but to find a dependence and surrender to Him and letting go of your will and making your motives His will. It is such a beautiful thing if you can see the freedom in surrender and in your weakness He becomes strong.

Free will. We aren’t immune to the choices of others (and the consequences of the fall). God doesn’t promise justice in this life, but he does promise heaven in the end, for those who trust him 🙏

@@lovegod8582 it's an interesting and important aspect of Christianity many people forget / don't know about. And as result we have this heresy called "prosperity gospel"

Does it really matter?

@@zenolamott1110 It does to God, otherwise He would nor have written James, or at least left the bit out regarding us regarding men.

It's her pen name not her legal name I think ....she talked about it unfortunately I can't remember if it was in a book or if it was on her gateway to Joy show

@@zorkajeanette Thank you for that. It was just another lady I knew, also had her husband killed with four other men, by those they were trying to reach, just shortly after Elisabeth lost her husband, but when she remarried she took on the name of her new husband. She said at the time that now she was the wife of her new husband so therefore took his name.

@@carljones8334 Aren't you regarding her by the flesh via the custom of name taking? And you are judging her by that custom which is fleshly and not established by God. Perhaps we need to look at your own views on this in more detail. Not every culture across time takes the last name of the husband upon marriage. That's a man made and or should I say fleshly principle. Perhaps YOU are in violation of the scriptures. Not her.

Hello how are you doing Fritz. I trust you are safe and in good health. God bless you.
