One of the most common questions people ask is, “If God is a loving Father, why does He allow His children to go through painful and difficult trials?” In this sermon, Dr. Stanley explains how God uses trials to do several things including:

- Increasing our faith.
- Testing our devotion to God.
- Sanctifying us.
- Demonstrating His love and power.
- Producing a Christ-like spirit in us.
- Equipping us for a future task.

He also says there are 10 ways we can respond properly to trials in our lives. We must believe:

1. God is in control.
2. The Lord has a specific purpose for trials.
3. Our circumstances are designed to meet specific needs in our lives.
4. The trials will prove to be good if we respond in faith.
5. Difficulties can strengthen our faith.
6. God will help us demonstrate perseverance under pressure.
7. Struggles will develop Christ-likeness in us.
8. They will help us measure our spiritual walk.
9. God will be with us the entire way.
10. His grace and power will help us overcome them.

God doesn’t promise to explain everything to us. However, if we keep a godly attitude and ask for wisdom in our circumstances, we can prevail over our difficulties, gain a sense of peace, and arrive on the other side with greater faith and stronger relationship with our Heavenly Father.

    I'm in the middle of a huge trial. I became suddenly bedridden 2 years ago after my car trunk came down on my head, while in perfect health. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong and they punctured my spine a few times, then also causing a spinal fluid leak. Now I've lost all of my health and cannot get out of bed because they can't plug the leak in my spine. I'm praying God will help me to have faith in Him. It's not easy as I've laid here for over 700 days in excruciating pain. Praying for healing! If you have the gift of faith or gifts of healings, please pray for me in Jesus' name. Thank you

    Pastor Charles, you are God-sent. I'm going through very intense trials in my life right now. I was praying and asking the Holy Spirit to give me a strategy to overcome, then this sermon came up on my Youtube. Thank you for allowing God to work through you and in you.

    James 1:1-12 is a decent part of the Bible viewed as the opposite of what ordinary people often live by. I love!!!

    I'm a living witness! God reminded me that I have the armour. So, I stopped running and stood fime on God's word and the enemy fled my home. Stayed on my face more then I ever have before and still get on my knees through out the day. I've surrendering everything to Him. I am free!
