~Slaughter Ministries~ Title of the message The Dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to show us His purpose in us. This a 4 part series (Part 3) Read 1 Samuel 30:1-6 When we learn and mature in the midst of tremendous adversity, God is pleased because He sees His purpose being fulfilled in us. We are growing spiritually, becoming stronger in areas of weakness, and increasingly being conformed to the likeness of Christ. God is thrilled when we respond correctly to adversity! I believe God weaves three principle threads into all adversity: (1.) I believe God choice tool for building godly, spiritual character into our lives. Until we experience heartache, disappointment, and pain, we are not properly equipped for service. He uses adversity to mold and shape us; He does not bring it into our lives without purpose. (2.) Adversity usually comes in the areas where we feel the most confident. God wants to break us of the idea that we are sufficient on our own. He made us for a loving, dependant relationship with Himself, and He uses adversity to remind us of the fact. (3.) God’s ultimate design is to conform you to the likeness of Jesus. He has something definite in mind. God allows adversity to mold and shape you, but He uses it only so long as it is needed. Once it has performed its function, He takes it away. (Ps 103:13-14) Jesus Loves You
