Comfort through Affliction

Be Still and Know: Apostolic Clarity in Times of Affliction (D&C 98–101) | Dr. D. Todd Harrison: Jesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and Generations and the Most-Followed LDS Religious Leader on Facebook"I testify in the name Jesus Christ that the revelations in Doctrine and Covenants 98–101 are living instructions for our time. The Lord speaks peace to His afflicted Saints, justice to the persecuted, and preparation to those who await His coming in glory.Having been called directly by the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ to declare His gospel to all nations and generations, I speak by divine commission. The Lord has sent me to testify of His living reality, His restored Church, and His imminent return.Be still. Know that He is God. He is Alive Today. I urge you to prepare to meet Him. In His holy name—even Jesus Christ—the Lord of lords and King of kings, amen."Dr. D. Todd HarrisonJesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and GenerationsJesus Christ's Foreordained ApostleThe Most-Followed LDS Religious Leader on Facebook

Affliction will come, the way to respond is with the power of God.

Have you ever felt wronged and wanted justice? Do you struggle to balance family and Church callings? And what is the real reason for suffering in our lives? D&C 98-101 offers profound and often surprising answers to these questions, giving us a blueprint for peace in a world of contention. Summary: In this episode, we tackle four remarkable revelations. We start with D&C 98 and the "Lord's Law of War," learning when to patiently endure and when to stand. We'll explore the difference between being justified and being sanctified and discover why the Lord commands us to "renounce war and proclaim peace." Next, D&C 100 provides a powerful message for every parent and leader: "your families are well; they are in mine hands." This revelation gives us comfort and direction on balancing our most important responsibilities. We then dive into D&C 101, which reveals why the Saints suffered such intense persecution in Missouri—as a consequence of their own sins, including "jarrings, and contentions, and envyings". The Lord, however, promises to remember mercy in the day of wrath. We'll discuss the parable of the nobleman and the servants who asked, "what need hath my lord of this tower?" This serves as a powerful warning against second-guessing God's counsel. Amidst the chaos, D&C 101 offers incredible hope, redefining Zion as "the pure in heart," and promising that Zion "shall not be moved". Finally, we'll examine the Lord's "strange act" and His role in establishing the Constitution. Call-to-Action: What insights did you gain from the Lord's law of war and peace?

In John 16:1-4, Jesus warns His disciples about coming persecution and prepares them so they won't fall away when opposition arises. Pastor Steve Henry continues last week's theme from 2 Corinthians 4:17. Looking at the example of Stephen's martyrdom in Acts 7, Pastor Steve contrasts empty religion with true Christianity. Religion is man's attempt to reach God through outward works, but true Christianity is God reaching out to us through Christ—saving us by grace through faith and giving us new life. Even when persecution comes from within the church, Jesus reminds us that we belong to Him, and He has already warned us so that we may stand firm in faith. —

Synopsis: Set in the days of the judges, the first chapter of the book of Ruth introduces the reader to Naomi and Ruth her faithful daughter-in-law of Moab who went to Bethlehem together. Tragedy had caused Naomi to grow bitter, yet in time she would come to appreciate virtuous Ruth whose loyal love points to Christ and remains inspirational to this day. When God's hand seems against us, He is always faithful to draw us to Himself.

Hello,Kindly listen to the teaching titled "HE DELIVERS THE AFFLICTED IN THEIR AFFLICTION..." (Job 36:1-5) by Mrs. Carol Kermu from the Lunch Hour service of Friday, 5th September 2025

In John 15:18-27, Jesus shifts from speaking about love to warning His disciples about the world's hatred. As followers of Christ, we are reminded that this world is not our home, and that opposition and persecution are inevitable for those who live by a biblical worldview.   In this message, Pastor Steve Henry unpacks three key truths:   - The hatred of the world reminds us that this world is not our home.   - The hatred of the world reminds us that we belong to Jesus.   - The hatred of the world reminds us that we are not alone—the Holy Spirit empowers us to endure and to bear witness to Christ.   Even in the face of hostility, we hold fast to the eternal perspective: "For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." (2 Corinthians 4:17, ESV)   —

DOWNLOAD SLIDES DOWNLOAD AFFIRMATION OF THE SPIRIT OF FAITH   Summary of the message (Generated by OpenAI) The Spirit of Faith: Part One – A Lifestyle of Provision and Favor By Pastor Bryan Hudson, DMin Main Text 2 Corinthians 4:13 — And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak Paul roots the teaching in faith as a lived reality: believing, speaking, and embodying Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:3, But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. Key Themes and Teachings 1. Treasure in Earthen Vessels God has placed His treasure (His presence, power, and favor) in us. This makes ministry possible: it's God doing the work through us. God has confidence in His people, just as we have faith in Him. Recognizing this treasure should influence our choices, attitudes, and lifestyle. 2. The Spirit of Faith Defined as a disposition or attitude that aligns with God's Word. Not simply belief in a moment, but a permanent posture shaped by the Holy Spirit within us. Like any human disposition (mood, attitude), the spirit of faith becomes the way we live and respond. Key principle: “I believed, therefore I spoke” (Psalm 116:10). Faith is honest—acknowledging struggles while declaring God's promises. Faith does not require denial of reality, but trust that God transforms reality. 3. Faith vs. Fear Both involve belief in the unseen: Fear imagines unseen dangers. Faith embraces unseen promises. If we can believe in fear, we can believe in faith. Example: Faith is like a key fob—evidence of what you don't yet see (the car). 4. Renewed Inwardly Outwardly, we may age or decline, but inwardly the Spirit renews us day by day. Faith focuses on unseen realities: God's ongoing renewal and strength. Comparison to maintaining a car: what's inside sustains and renews the outside. 5. Light Afflictions vs. Eternal Glory Paul calls his sufferings “light” compared to God's eternal glory. Faith reframes difficulties by viewing them against eternal realities. Affliction is temporary; God's work in us is weightier and eternal. 6. Example of Abraham & Sarah God promised them a child at 75 and 65, but fulfillment came at 100 and 90. Lesson: Faith requires lifestyle consistency over time, not momentary belief. They had to maintain the spirit of faith for 25 years. Faith does not deny barrenness or age—it believes God's promise beyond them. 7. Lifestyle of Faith True faith is not about one-time victories but a sustained way of life. Like athletes: a single good performance isn't enough; lifestyle determines consistency. Faith requires daily walking (“walk and not faint”), not just occasional soaring. Lifestyle supports faith's manifestation—holiness, prayer, Scripture, perseverance. 8. Seeing the Unseen 2 Corinthians 4:18 — “We look not at things seen, but unseen.” Physical circumstances are temporary; God's promises are eternal. Faith involves shifting vision: Seen reality: problems, lack, age, struggles. Unseen reality: God's provision, renewal, promises. Believers must choose what they focus on. 9. Faith Is Honest, Not Denial Faith doesn't call sickness health or deny problems. Faith acknowledges reality but affirms God's greater reality: “I may be sick, but I am healed through Christ's stripes. Application Guard your lifestyle: choices, attitudes, and disciplines matter. Sustain faith: don't quit during delay—promises often require waiting. Focus on unseen realities: God's promises outweigh temporary troubles. Walk daily: consistency in prayer, obedience, and trust reflects true spirit of faith. Provision and favor follow when the spirit of faith becomes lifestyle, not just an occasional act. ✅ Summary Statement: The spirit of faith is not a momentary belief but a sustained lifestyle of trust, obedience, and perspective rooted in God's promises. By recognizing the treasure within, aligning attitudes with God's Word, and walking daily in faith rather than fear, believers experience God's provision and favor—even amid affliction, delay, or unseen circumstances.   An Affirmation of the Spirit of Faith By Pastor Bryan Hudson, DMin I have the Spirit of Faith, which is a proper disposition and attitude aligned with the Word of God. By the grace of God, I live a lifestyle that supports the Spirit of Faith. I walk in provision and favor because God is faithful and helps me be faithful to Him. I have God's treasure in this earthen vessel called my life. God entrusts His treasure to me, and I will live a lifestyle that honors Christ and continues in covenant relationship with God and my fellow believers in Christ. I embrace realities that I do not see. Though outward things are perishing, my inward person is being renewed day by day. The afflictions that I endure are light compared to the glory that is being revealed. I don't call things that are as though they're not. By God's grace, I call things that are not as though they were. God keeps His promises. The Spirit of Faith allows me to maintain the type of lifestyle that will allow God to manifest His provision and favor in my life. I don't have to look at the things that I see, because there's more to life than what my eyes can see. Through the Spirit of Faith, I see God's promises and purposes fulfilled. I have the Spirit of Faith and I am living a lifestyle of provision and favor

Divine meditations not evolving into the appropriate emotions is a symptom of a severe spiritual illness called "Dullness of Heart." It can happen to anyone.

Joyful in Hope, Patient in Affliction

Rev. Brad Williams teaches from the series: Acts, in the book of Acts, verses 14:19 - 28

In times of affliction the presence of friends can be a great source of help and encouragement. Consider Job and the visit of his three friends.

Wednesday evening message from the pulpit of Shawano Baptist Church

[00:30] Britain's Dangerous Streets (55 minutes) British citizens are no longer safe on their own streets because of rampant migrant crime. At the same time, the UK government is facing money troubles because it wastes money on benefit programs and hotels for illegal migrants while taxing the rich so heavily that they are leaving the country. The Bible prophesied that the UK would face serious problems like this in the end time.

In this episode, we talk about the hard things. What do you do when you are afflicted? Why would God let bad things happen to you? And, to the point, is how you handle the pain in your life really helping you? We hope this episode on affliction is helpful to you. More than that, we hope the fact that your life isn't easy will help you know Jesus. He suffered, too. He chose his hard things for your good. Isaiah 53:4-7 connects our affliction and the affliction of Jesus! Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5  But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. 6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.  Affliction can help you know and love Jesus!

Psalm 31 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;     let me never be put to shame;     in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me;     rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me,     a strong fortress to save me! 3 For you are my rock and my fortress;     and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; 4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,     for you are my refuge. 5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;     you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God. 6 I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,     but I trust in the Lord. 7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,     because you have seen my affliction;     you have known the distress of my soul, 8 and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;     you have set my feet in a broad place. 9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;     my eye is wasted from grief;     my soul and my body also. 10 For my life is spent with sorrow,     and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity,     and my bones waste away. 11 Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach,     especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances;     those who see me in the street flee from me. 12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead;     I have become like a broken vessel. 13 For I hear the whispering of many—     terror on every side!— as they scheme together against me,     as they plot to take my life. 14 But I trust in you, O Lord;     I say, “You are my God.” 15 My times are in your hand;     rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors! 16 Make your face shine on your servant;     save me in your steadfast love! 17 O Lord, let me not be put to shame,     for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame;     let them go silently to Sheol. 18 Let the lying lips be mute,     which speak insolently against the righteous     in pride and contempt. 19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,     which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you,     in the sight of the children of mankind! 20 In the cover of your presence you hide them     from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter     from the strife of tongues. 21 Blessed be the Lord,     for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me     when I was in a besieged city. 22 I had said in my alarm,     “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy     when I cried to you for help. 23 Love the Lord, all you his saints!     The Lord preserves the faithful     but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride. 24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,     all you who wait for the Lord!   Key Words: Refuge, Fortress, Trust, Distress, Affliction, Times, Hand Keystone Verse: Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
