The wilderness where the Israelites stayed was a place where it did not rain and plants could not grow. They were trained in this wilderness.

This means that God's people today are also trained under various difficult conditions.

There is nothing to rely on in the world, because wealth, knowledge, and power will soon disappear.

In order to make them live relying only on Jehovah God, the Israelites were led into the wilderness and trained.

When they were being trained, they complained and grumbled against God and their leader Moses.

They protested to Moses, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt? You should have left us there.

Are you making us die in the wilderness because there are no graves in Egypt?” (Exodus 14:11).

When we were in Egypt, we ate garlic and leeks, but we cannot eat those things here.

They grumbled and complained in every area, because they could not fulfill their fleshly desires.

However, they must abandon their fleshly desires and obey the words of the Spirit in order to go to heaven.

Don’t complain like this. Why do we have to live so hard? Why do we have to suffer like this?

Difficulties and hardships are training to soften our stubborn heart.

We should be thankful to the Lord for the training that trains us to go to heaven.

If we can cast off wickedness and have a meek heart without being trained by hardship, the Lord will not have to train us.

We need strong training because we have learned the words of the Bible but still have a stubborn heart.

Stubborn Christians complain like this, if there really is a God, how could he put me through this suffering?

These Christians have no choice but to undergo stronger training for a longer period of time.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be joyful always;

pray continually;give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

This means that no matter what situation we are in or whether we experience a big or small accident, we should always be thankful to the Lord.

The Lord shed His blood to save our lives and to take those who were going to hell to heaven.

Those who truly believe this word cannot help but be thankful to the Lord in all circumstances and conditions.

Those who do not believe the will of the Lord cannot truly give thanks to the Lord.

When Satan attacks, we feel the pain of our intestines being twisted. God allows Satan to attack us in order to make us repent.

This is a sign and warning for us to guard our hearts and repent.

The Lord humbles our pride and arrogance and makes us obedient, so that we can go to heaven and receive the rewards of heaven.

God, who trained and disciplined the Israelites in the wilderness, now trains us with various hardships. The thorn in the flesh is a disease.

Through these sufferings, we come to realize the truth and give thanks and praise to the Lord.

When we receive Satan’s attacks and thorns, we should not be disappointed and frustrated, thinking that we cannot handle them.

We should realize that God allows us to undergo trials that we can handle.

Why do I have to suffer like this? If there is a God, how can he treat me like this? Anyone who reacts like this will perish.

Those who reject the hand of God that leads them from the path of death to the path of life are like giving up on living.

A Christian complained, "I have served God for a long time, and now my house is being auctioned off. If God exists, why is he making things so difficult for me?

He started a business to satisfy human greed and used his house as collateral to borrow money for the business.

Those who do business for greed will ultimately fail because they cannot receive God's guidance.

He followed the gifts and prophecies, disobeyed the Lord's words, and did not receive spiritual training.

The purpose of believing in Jesus is not to get many gifts and money, we must aim and focus on obeying the Lord's words.

The purpose of the Lord giving us various gifts and wealth is to enable us to serve Him well.

Those who disobey and use gifts and prophecies to boast about themselves will receive a severe curse from the Lord.

The purpose of the Israelites' living and training in the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt was to abandon worldly greed and obey the word of the Lord.

When the Israelites complained that they could not eat meat in the wilderness, the Lord sent countless flocks of quails to them,

but when they tried to chew the quail meat, the Lord became angry with them (Numbers 11:33, 34).

Those who do not want to be trained and who complain will never receive the Lord's blessing.

Even though we are blessed, Satan tries to make us proud and corrupt us.

When Satan tests us, we should not become arrogant, but remain humble until the end and only be thankful to the Lord.

When we are trained in wilderness-like conditions, we must abandon the habit of idolatry.

If those who are blessed follow idols, all the blessings they have received will disappear and they will go to hell.

The number of men who came out of Egypt was 600,000. Including their families, the number would have been several million.

But as time passed, many of them fell into the sin of idolatry.

Do not boast about believing before others, but strive to obey the word of the Lord.

The Bible says that those who believe later can have greater faith than those who believed first.

Faith is something that those who obey more diligently have greater faith.

Even if you start believing later, if you obey more diligently than others, your faith will be the best.

Those who have been going to church for a long time but do not obey the word of the Lord have the least faith.

We must discipline our hearts well and not claim life and property as our own, but pass the Lord's test well.

The Lord tests us with hardships in order to give us blessings and life.

(Deuteronomy 8:16)

He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble yourself and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you.

The Lord wants to give us both the blessings of heaven and the blessings of the earth.

However, there are few who receive all the blessings. We can see that Abraham's descendants were blessed, including Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.

We must truly come to our senses and obey the word of God to receive the maximum blessings.

There are cases where angels come down with blessings and then go back up with those blessings, because the believer is not ready to receive the blessings.

The Lord's heart is very saddened to see this situation, and the Lord's servant's heart is also sad.

The believers should receive the Lord's blessings and help the church and the poor, but many believers indulge in worldly pleasures with their wealth and become arrogant.

If they just endure a little and serve the Lord, they will live enjoying the Lord's blessings and peace, but many believers do not pass the final test.

Our hearts must be trained by the Lord's words and faith.

However, most people do the Lord's work with human thinking, doing formal work and hoping that the Lord's reward will be great.

Do not try to deceive God. The Lord is fair to all. Do not expect to be blessed without obedience.

God blesses us according to the amount of our faith and obedience.

That is why those who believe later can receive more blessings than those who believe first.

Do not fall behind in faith and obedience.

If you believed in Jesus before others, you must be more alert and more obedient.

(Matthew 20:16)

"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

Those who believed in Jesus later than others obeyed and were blessed, and their positions gradually rose,

It would be a great shame if you believed in Jesus before others but did not obey and therefore did not receive the blessing.

We must not become losers in our faith. Those who follow human desires become losers in their faith.

Those who indulge in human desires and worldly pleasures become servants of Satan and are abandoned by God.

Such people will eventually perish, but if they realize and repent before they die, they will barely be able to enter heaven.

When the Lord trains us, we must humbly receive the training, cast away our arrogance, obey the Lord’s words, and pass the test well.

God’s test is different from Satan’s temptation. The Lord’s test is for blessing, while Satan’s temptation is to kill us.

God commands us to walk the path of life. However, the devil tempts us to walk the path of evil and falsehood and to perish.

All who believe in Jesus should be blessed on this earth and accumulate many rewards in heaven.

We should make our house in heaven more beautiful and bigger.

May you all participate in the Lord’s work with this kind of heart and zeal. I bless you in the name of the Lord.
