challenges come to make you stronger and better they are like stepping stones to the next level It depends on your perception Now, some people see challenges as suicide bombs while some others see it differently and it works for them that way it's the same principle with christians and non christians alike |

Sometimes "challenges" may simply be natural consequences of your own poor choices in life. Nothing to do with "success" or "god's will". |

The most important thing for the believer is to make sure that nothing separates him/her from the love of Christ, whether challenges or successes, life or death, angels or demons. Like david said, challenges may be caused by poor decisions of the past. They may also be given/permitted by God for a purpose, like Paul's famous thorn. But whatever way, we should have the attitude that ALL things work together for our good. This is the way of victory. |

. . . IF THE YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO SEEK THE FACE OF GOD, CHALLENGES MOSTLY INDICATE THAT YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH . . .Often characterized by a descent into darkness => Descent into Darkness Jesus was then led away by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. (Matthew 4: 1) "THIS IS THE true sequel to spiritual dedication: the disciple is then exhaustively tested in the furnace of truth. The Holy Spirit, as the farewell discourses of Jesus state quite openly, is the Spirit of truth, who guides us into all truth. He does not speak on His own authority, but tells us only what He hears. He also makes known to us the things that are to come. (John 16:13) The will, already consecrated, must not be hindered and perverted by impulses coming from the unconscious part of the personality. It is a great gesture to give of oneself fully for God's service. But how much of this dedication is play-acting? How much of it is a spectacular ritual designed unconsciously to release one from the sordid facts of one's worldly situation? How much is it a way to attract the attention of one's fellows and become a centre of admiration? How much is it a calculated attempt to acquire psychic power with which to dominate other people? If we were aware of our inner life, we would know that these false motives are unconsciously with us even when we appear to make the decision that is morally right and spiritually inevitable." |
