Spiritual Maturity is developed through Testing RHEMA WORD (07 / 01 / 2012)

“Life’s shortcomings are opportunity for spiritual advancement. As Job, who was righteous before God, secure and prospering, there were still areas of his life that needed refinement. Throughout our life we are going through the process of being perfected into the image of Christ, which is our example of perfection.  

In spite of what we assume to be sin, we have character flaws which are venerable to satanic influence, which needs refinement.  These are areas in which you are tested, so that you may prove your character. Without testing, how can you prove your faithfulness and establish verification of your response to overcome every situation, and grow in maturity.

Even Jesus Christ prove himself through testing, in every way, proving that He was perfect in rightness, and in every way able to overcome temptation, and become the perfect lamb, qualified to be the perfect sacrifice to shed His cleansing blood for our redemption, and salvation. Thus becoming a new creation, that overcomes the consequences and the powers of sin and death. 

Because of this, The same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, now also lives and dwells within us, making you into a new creation, and son and daughters of the God of creation, who is able to overcome and defeat the Devil and his powers of darkness.”
