Christian Trials, Tribulations, & Suffering By Minister Speed

Some people think that, if you serve God faithfully, He will solve all your troubles. Preachers sometimes even promise that God will work miracles to eliminate your hardships or bring you financial security if you just give him money or serve him. As a result, some people try to serve God but turn their back on Him when they continue to have problems or things do not work out the way they planned.

With the exception of Jesus, probably no man ever had more trials and tribulations than Job. Within one day's time, this man lost all his wealth and possessions, and then all ten of his children were killed. Next he lost even his health as he became covered with boils from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Finally, his wife turned against him and told him to "curse God and die."

But why did Job have so much in the form of trials and tribulations? Was he wicked and disobedient to God? In Job 1:8 God Himself said concerning Job: "...there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil." Job 1:22 says that, even after his troubles began, "in all this Job did not sin..."

Here was a just and faithful man, yet He suffered! Yes, the righteous do go through much suffering at time. Nowhere in the Bible has God promised to remove all your problems, neither by miracles nor by any other means. Acts 14:22 says "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.

Then what has God promised? Does He offer anything to help us endure life's hardships? Yes, He does! In fact, the strength to endure is the very thing He offers. In Philippians 4:13 Paul said: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

The Bible also shows that suffering, trials and tribulations actually accomplishes good in our lives. And the Word of God shows that we can have eternal life when this life is over if we done so faithfully (James 1:12).

You should serve God, not because He will remove your problems now, not because He will bring you money, property and prestige, but because He will help you endure them and then give you life in a land without problems after this life is over.

Study Scripture To see The End times By Minister Speed

We are in End Time Prophetic fulfillment of scriptures.  The sad part is most Christians have no idea of what the bible says nor do they have a desire to find out God’s truth.  The first question I shall ask is:

Do you know the definition of End Time prophecies?

The End Days is a reference to the Messianic Age, and includes an in-gathering of the exiled Jews, the coming of the Yeshua Hamaschia (The Messiah), the rebuilding of the Jewish temple, a time of tribulation that precedes the second coming of Christ, the  emergence of the Antichrist and ushering in of the Kingdom of God on earth.  These are all preceded by sign, cycles, and seasons found hidden within Holy Scriptures.

 The Day of the Lord

1 Thessalonians 5:1-6

Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

To True Christian Jesus’s return Will Not be Like A Thief In The Night

We Watch 

In the above verses we can see that Jesus states His rapture and return will be like a thief in the night.  The key to reading this verse is seeing that Jesus did not apply the thief in the night passage to Christians who are awakened to His Holy Spirit and are watching for end Time prophecy.  Look at verse 4 as Jesus says but you brothers and sisters are not in darkness so that this day will not surprise you like a thief.  In other words you will be able to see the signs, cycles, and seasons to know that while in the last days, His return has to be fulfilled by the very prophecies themselves.

In Numbers 23:19-20 we read, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.”

    We Wait

You see brothers and sisters there are 2 things God cannot do.  God cannot Lie and neither can He Change His mind.  If He spoke it then it will come to pass.  Do not be fearful, do not worry about things beyond your control.  Trust in God and He will strengthen your heart.

God said to “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15).”  Through reading this scripture it is easy to see that a lack of knowledge does not meet God’s approval and with it will bring shame at his return.

In Matthew 25:1-30 we see the exact fulfillment of the servant who will face God’s dis approval and shame when He returns in His glory.  In verse: 13 it reads “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”  

He then goes on to give the analogy of three servants who He gave responsibilities while He was away.  This all has to do with what we are supposed to be doing in and for the kingdom of God in our lives today and How God will judge those works on His return.

It is a simple story that our Lord tells here. A man who is preparing to leave on a journey entrusts his possessions to his servants. He distributes his wealth among three servants, apportioned to them on the basis of their abilities. 

To the first he entrusted five talents, to the second two talents, and to the third one talent. The first two servants’ quickly set to work with their master’s money. 

The third servant did not invest his master’s money at all; he dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money. 

When the master returned, the first two eagerly met their master, apparently delighted in the opportunity to multiply their master’s money. Both were commended as “good and faithful servants”; both were rewarded with increased responsibilities in their master’s service; both were invited to share in their master’s joy.

The master’s dealing with the third servant is a very different matter. This servant came to his master with only the talent his master had originally entrusted to him. He did not increase his master’s money at all. In fact, if this were to take place today that money would likely be worth less, due to inflation. This servant offered a feeble excuse for his conduct. He was actually ashamed of his master.

He told his master that he was a harsh and cruel man, a man who was demanding, and who expected gain where he had not labored. He contended that this is why he was afraid to take a risk with any kind of investment. And so he simply hid the money, and now he returned it, without any gain. The master rebuked this slave for being evil and lazy. He took his talent from him, gave it to the one who earned ten, and cast this fellow into outer darkness, where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We should carefully note the outcome of faithful service, and of unfaithful service, in this parable. Faithful service led to increased responsibilities in the kingdom of heaven, and eternal joy in the presence of the Master, Jesus Christ. Unfaithful service led to condemnation, the removal of one’s stewardship, and an eternity of weeping and gnashing of teeth in outer darkness, away from the presence of our Lord.  

If study and understanding of god’s word/will denotes approval from God, where do you realistically think you will stand when Yeshua returns for His bride the Church?

I would like to emphatically state that God is not a willing that any should perish 2 Peter 3:9.  His love for mankind is so powerful that He has held back Justice even with the killing of the innocent for millennium upon millennium.  His love is so powerful that he sent His only begotten Son so that we may have the chance to live again in peace with Him.  But the judgment has been set.  Accept God through Christ and live!!!

In Rev. 6:10 the Saints cry out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth”?

Exodus 34:5-7-5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

The guilty are those who have rejected the Laws/Word of God and Jesus Christ and because of that their children MUST suffer a natural progression of lifestyle which is against God and now the cup of sin is full and the scales of justice tilted to the degree that for God it is time to establish His kingdom on Earth.

Satan Is A Defeated Foe

This was never about a war between God and Satan or a contest to see who was more powerful, No this was about the compassion and love and restraint of a God so powerful that His love motivated Him to send His only begotten Son to pay the Price for a condition that demanded death.  

Your task is to fit yourself to be of maximum service to God and reap the harvest and turn men away from their wicked ways and back to Christ that their eyes may be open and they may be saved.  

That has been the one real problem of most Christians today.  A wise man once wrote, “Obviously you cannot transmit something you haven’t got.”  It’s time to get armed so we can battle as one who represents the Lord.  

I once had a Christian say to me “but you’re a minister, you’re supposed to be doing that”.  I wisely replied through scriptures 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”  

You see we are all Priest unto God.

A more extensive understanding of prophetic scripture is essential to properly discern what taking place is in today's End Time Prophecies. The difficulty is mainly in opening the eyes of God’s people so that they may ascertain the differences between the true and the false. The timing of the events related to scriptures during the End Time prophecy also raises some controversy.

Look For Signs When Reading God’s Word

A word of knowledge when reading scriptures and looking for End Time Prophecies.  In order to identify this End Time Prophecy in scripture look for the sign phrases “The day of the Lord.” Or the “End of days” or “The day of judgment. “or “In That Day.” These all refer to one specific time in world history which alludes to the 70th week of Daniel or the 7 year Tribulation period with express intent to the last 3 ½ years of that period know as “The Great Tribulation.”

It’s time to move from an existentialist relationship with God where one uses an Un renewed mind, lack of Holy Spirit Power and relies heavily upon what one perceives or thinks in lieu to what God has written in His Holy word.  It’s time to move from a religious experience with God, to a more personal experience with God through Jesus Christ.

All religion is pretty much the same at its core. Religions are methodologies for man to evolve to become like God, to appease God and earn brownie points by one’s own good works, or to manipulate God or some “higher power force” into doing one’s own will especially with prosperity, money, or recovery.

There is always an inner circle of elite that set themselves up as being on a higher spiritual plane and more like God or closer to God than the common membership. Those who believe they are on this higher plane then make rules and rituals to enslave the masses to enforce what they believe are God’s requirements for man.

Religion other than “true Christianity” (which really is not a religion but is being born into a new creation through faith and trust in God), is always a salvation by man’s own works and theology and always denies that salvation can be acquired from trusting in the work of Jesus alone.

Jesus had little good to say about the religious leadership over Israel and He will have little good to say about the religious leadership over Gentile religions in these last days. This includes most of the leadership that identifies with Christianity today.  

Listen in my travels through the states I have found only a minimal amount of Pastors and Prophets who know, understand, and preach the true gospel of Yeshua the Messiah, or even understand End Time prophecies.

The scriptures say there is but one way to God and that is through His Son Yeshua Hamaschia.  He paid the price for all mankind at the cross. To be saved one has to Trust that God loved mankind enough to have prepared a plan of salvation and that He actually has the power to carry it out. This plan for redeeming man is what the Bible is all about.  

God is UNVEILING HIS End Time Prophetic Plan for us all to see.

Can you see God’s plan unfolding right before your eyes?

Extreme Weather Conditions are The beginning of sorrows for America & The World By Minister Speed

 First and foremost I wish to pray for the families of those affected by the storms which has killed many people in America over the last few years.  The sad part is that many of the victims have been innocent children, and it appears that there will be multiple more killed in this latest deadly storm .  

It comes to mind that in the last 15 years that our children have come under severe spiritual battle.  I’d like to expound further on this subject.

I have been declaring that a divine judgment has been rendered upon America and it is obvious that our children have been affected by death and mayhem like never before.  It also appears that the weapon of God's choice would be the forces of nature and the spiritual infiltration of the mind of mankind so that they would do diabolical acts against other human being.

“The fall of America is now going on! She is falling! The cause of her fall is universally known, as it was with ancient Babylon,” The use of the weather affects both the adversary of God and the people of God.  

It is time for America to bring God into the equation and repent from all this wickedness engulfing this once great country.  

“Righteousness, justice and freedom are despised and fought against regardless of the clear knowledge of who God is.

According to the weather service, the largest previous number of tornadoes on record in one event occurred from April 3-4, 1974, with 148 tornadoes. The National Weather Service also pointed out that there had been more than 600 tornadoes in the month of April 2011.

 The storms and catastrophes that are battering America are part of a series of big weather events across the country. Updated statistics from the U.S. Drought Monitor show that nearly 56 percent of the contiguous U.S. is currently in drought. This value is the highest that’s ever been recorded for the month of May.  Last year winter prove to be the most severe on American record with many deaths which followed.

Then in 2013 there were drought conditions afflicting Texas and causing fires to engulf the state. “We're pretty vulnerable right now,” said state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon to the Christian Science Monitor. 

Up to 650 blazes have scorched 400 square miles of rolling plains in west Texas, the Monitor said. The year of 2013 rivaled the 2000 and 2006 Texas wildfire seasons, which killed 11 people and destroyed 400 homes. In 2000 the Southwest, including Texas, 6.5 million acres burned, which was more than double the 10-year wildfire average at the time.  

For those with Bible Doctrine behind them this is truly punishment and the destruction of America by His divine plagues of storms,”  In 2010, more people were killed worldwide by natural disasters than were killed in terrorist attacks in the past 40 years combined.

2014 Updates

As we speak in January 2014, several unexpected and abnormal winter storms rage across America's Southern states. 

Residents across the Deep South are hunkering down as a rare winter storm is moving in from the central U.S., bringing along freezing rain, snow and forcing the cancellation of thousands of flights.

Officials from parts of Texas to southeastern Virginia are warning motorists to stay off the roads and remain inside. Freezing rain and snow is already falling in some parts of the region.

Popular warm-weather tourist destinations including Charleston, S.C.; Savannah, Ga.; Pensacola, Fla.; Virginia Beach; and New Orleans were expecting ice and snow over the next two days-- rare occurrences in places that seldom even see prolonged sub-freezing temperatures. As many as "50 million" people across the region could be affected. 

Perhaps the most abnormal winter storm has come in the state of Hawaii.  The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Big Island summits above 11,000 feet. Forecasters say the threat of heavy snow on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa will remain until noon on Wednesday, when the Winter Storm Warning is set to expire. Expect an accumulation of up to six inches of snow, easterly winds around 10 to 15 mph, and temperatures in the lower 30s.

With all the catastrophic storms and natural disasters “It's interesting that God is conspicuously absent from the explanations within in the news reports,”

Fundamental Changes Needed to Save America

First Read your bibles and you tell me how the Creator has judged men in the past.

Floods?  Of course. 

Famine?  Yes.

Drought? You know it.

Plagues?  Yes.

Every single time these 4 environmental climate systems have been used to warn, wake up, judge, and punish the nations and bring them back to Himself.

This world will never admit that God's Judgment is upon the world and specifically on America. Every form of vile wickedness walks freely among us and yet there are "mega churches" on every corner of every street in America.

Today's Babylonian churchianity is being judged. Our country is a cesspool of every vile thing ever invented under the sun. We are the world’s premier exporter of war, porn, death, leisure, vice, hubris, abortion and injustice and idol worship.

Name a deadly sin and find someplace in the world that does it "better" than America. Listen One nation under God? One nation under "god" doesn't mean one nation under Jesus.  You see, Satan calls himself god, and the bible clearly states: 2 COR 4:4 in whose case THE GOD OF THIS WORLD who is Satan,  has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

In Revelation Chapter 9 we see God unleashes the forces of nature against mankind for their wickedness but if we look at verse 20 we can see the same mindset that is prevalent in America today.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21 and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries (Drug Use) nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.

Are you kidding me? These people have just been HAMMERED, ABSOLUTELY ROCKED by the Lord's judgments, AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO REPENT.  After all that hammering, and people still refuse to repent, does Jesus's teaching in Matt 7:13-14 make any more sense to you now?

13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

There would have to be some fundamental changes on a national level to change God’s mind about judgment. But there is no political courage in our leaders to do the things that would save this nation from destruction, therefore this nation is doomed.

The things that would have to be done to turn this nation around so God would spare us from great destructive judgments will  NEVER be done because the leaders have no vision or courage to do what is right.  

Even if the leaders wanted to do right, the people in general have no intention of repenting.  Individual repentance on your part, though very important to you, will not save this nation.  As a nation we are already past the point of no return.

 Because there is no national repentance, we are simply waiting for the judgments to come. 

It would be stupid to think a nation that despises God will have peace and prosperity.

It’s easy to blame God, ask why God would allow this, this, and this to happen, Why God allows some to perish and others to live. But if one does not belong to God, but to the evil one, the father of darkness, then one cannot truly understand the will of the Almighty for they are still in the world.

Those of us however, who were taken out of the world when we confessed our sins and gave our life to Jesus, understand both the smaller picture as well as the larger picture overall.

First off, the world is cursed, man is a fallen creation and therefore wickedness, murder, dishonesty, lust, wickedness, and an anti-Christ culture has been formed on this earth.  That is the small picture we've been dealing with since the beginning. 

The larger overall picture is that as Christians we know full well we’re living in the last days before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ on the clouds. 

I call these days “End Time Bible Days” and as Christians we should rejoice and look forward to great opportunities and blessings. 

Indeed it’s true, that while the world will slowly fall into deeper sin, wickedness, deception, famine, disease, devastation, and chaos we as Christians should began to prepare our hearts, check our power source and begin to come out of this world and truly seek the kingdom of God.

We are in the same situation as Baruch in the Book of Jeremiah.  Jeremiah had nothing but bad things to prophesy to the people and no one was repenting.  He didn't have any "peace and prosperity" or "break-through" messages and it was getting pretty depressing.  

The nation of Israel was doomed and nothing was going to change the judgment. Then God speaks directly to Baruch in the following scripture:

Jeremiah 45:2-5 2.Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; 3.Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. 

4.Thus shalt thou say unto him (unto Baruch), The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down (speaking of the nation), and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. 

5.And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

God told Baruch, "seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not."  Do you have high hopes of education, career, business, family, etc.

Remember, you may never get some of those things, because God is going to "bring evil upon all flesh...break down that which I have built and pluck up, even this whole land"

Jeremiah 9:12-14 12.Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through? 

13.And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; 14.But have walked after the imagination of their own heart.

I think this describes America very well.  They forsake the law of God and walk after the imagination of their own heart or perhaps their man made religion.  

But "God is not mocked," everyone will reap what they have sown--individuals and whole nations.

Listen my brothers and sisters Open your eyes and look at the increasing rain, hail, snow. There are several hundred earthquakes that have already come to America. 

When God sends a Warning, the bible says He seizes the people with distress and affliction that they might humble themselves, pray, seek Gods’ face and turn from their wicked ways.

This time around Gods' will is simply a message to the United States: As your culture and your lifestyles continue to erode, so too will my judgments upon you come quickly. 

My grandmother used to say ”God don’t like ugly.” She was right, God doesn't take pleasure in allowing these things to happen, he doesn't take pleasure in millions of lives destroyed. 

He wants us to live righteous and turn to him, not turn away from him. Unfortunately it takes such events to make people sit down and think about how they life their lives.

Our lives are our own, we have free will. But do you ever think that perhaps we've gone too far? That perhaps our culture, our forms of entertainment, the way we treat life in terms of capital punishment, abortion, and murder are all a part of why America has been in this condition for so long? 

How long has America been in political, economic, and even environmental straits? It’s easy to blame the president, but how difficult has it been to blame ourselves?

I believe America is experiencing God’s judgment right now? With all the economic turmoil, division, political corruption, and the bad weather we've been having in the last few year;  it must become evident that this is the hand of God judging the United States of America?

The Media Industrial Complex By Minister Speed

In my first book "A Declaration to the Spiritual Soldier" I used the tern "The Power To Define" on Pg. 54.  

The Power To Define is the ability to discern, and the will to implement ideas and philosophies in order to be totally victorious in battle against ones enemy.

This blog will attempt to deal with the new phenomenon that is sweeping through America progressively for the past 25 years.  This is the Media Industrial Complex.  It is designed to produce in you a well of willingness to search within yourself, wakeup, and participate!!!

Today this definition appears to come to fruition as the News Media across the nation as well as the world are working together to Black Out "certain" news that would possibly awaken America to their true purpose and agendas.  

They have consciously created such a liberal spirit that anyone who attempts to use their God given America freedom of speech is instantaneously dehumanize which also subliminally redirects others not to, producing a people who are muzzled and fear driven.  

The power to define when applied properly can produce in the minds of a person ignorance or complete unawareness of the magnitude or seriousness of a situation (Abortion/homosexuals) or when used in a concerted efforted can simply make a news worthy story disappear (Kermit Gosnell).

Who owns the media?

To this end I have created a new definition to describe this new phenomenon within the once sacred halls of journalism.  Never in the anals of American History have the Media been bought and paid for by entities which seek to promote and propagate their own agendas which have stretch their tentacles across every fabric of the economy.  To put it as plain as possible "they are reporting' whatever they are being spoon-fed from others".

Media Industrial Complex-The aggregate of a nation’s Media and Communication systems working in a concerted effort with combined interests of the political, socio, and economic forces, pushing a subliminal and propagandist ideology while exerting unwarranted influence on the minds of the American people and the world around us.
