Christians often live in a imaginary world where they believe that if its God will it will be a smooth straight path with no troubles in between you and your blessings. Like the brother whose believing that God going to provide him with a job someone will come knocking on the door asking him to come work for them. Instead of him getting off the couch and looking for work his pastor told him to name and claim it. Then there is those sisters in the church that believe God going to deliver her new husband to her Saturday up in the club. Well let ask the Israelites if that was true for them, or did they have to be line with God's plan before they got the blessing??? They had to fight the giants in the land to possess what God said was already theirs. The promised land belonged to them already because God had given it to them. But it was still inhabited by others (including giants), who had to be driven out before they could enjoy the promises of God. How is your faith???? God said and you and I must by faith believe it.
Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy (1 Peter 4:12-13).
