God uses life's pain and suffering to strengthen our faith, shape us into a better form, and teach us to trust in Him. While pain is difficult to endure, it is not pointless because God can take our present sufferings and transform them into future glory. He comforts us in our troubles so that we may comfort others, and uses our hurts to help heal the pains of others. Trials reveal our true spiritual condition and help God rearrange our lives.

The Examen
The Examen is a spiritual exercise originally designed for the Jesuits by Ignatius Loyola. This edition is adapted from “Examen of Consciousness: Finding God in all things” by
Phyllis Zagano.
Body Intercession
The document discusses the basics of intercession and travailing intercession. It states that intercession requires surrendering one's will to God and experiencing identification, agony, and authority in prayer. Travailing intercession is described as a high level of spiritual engagement that requires fasting, enduring trials, and stripping oneself through implementing Ephesians 6:10-20. The document also provides guidelines for interpreting pains in different body parts as indications to pray for specific issues, such as headaches relating to attacks on leadership or stomach pains indicating witchcraft.
24th november 2015 disappointment with god
While it is natural to feel disappointment when our hopes are not met or when we face difficulties, true disappointment is with ourselves rather than God. God's plans are higher than our own and we often fail to see how He is working for our ultimate good. As Christians, any disappointment we feel in God should only be temporary, as we must trust in His unchanging character of love, mercy, faithfulness and wisdom. Through faith, as Paul demonstrated, we can maintain inner contentment regardless of outward circumstances.
Why Worry
This document discusses worry and its effects. It defines worry as mental distress or agitation and traces the word back to its Old English origin meaning "to strangle or choke." It outlines the physical effects of worry such as increased heart rate, upset stomach, and sleep problems. Spiritually, worry can corrupt one's testimony by leading to mental and physical disorders. The document encourages bringing thoughts into obedience to Christ and cultivating dependence on God to experience perfect peace.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
