Protected In, But Not Protected From Troubles! (1 of 5)
This title came to mind while reading a Sept. 14, 2014-EEW Magazine article.
"The man with the golden voice, three-time Grammy® and ten-time Stellar Award winner Donnie McClurkin, 54, revealed a serious health battle.
I had to have vocal surgery and they found that the scar tissue was cancerous".

In addition, McClurkin adds, "I lost both of my parents within 10 months of each other and then
my grandmother, 2 weeks after my father passed, lay in the floor in my house with a stroke."
He summarizes of his challenges that "Despite the setback," he is maintaining his faith.
"But I believe," he declared. "I guess I could stop with that. "I believe."
He added, "I trust in God. I put my total confidence in God."
In addition, in the same article Fred Hammond is mentioned as recovering from his own double knee replacement surgery

Protected In, But Not Protected From Troubles! (2 of 5)
Hammond is quoted as saying: "Ain't this a combination, getting ready to hit the road? I can't walk and he (Donnie) can't talk."
The "No Weapon" singer, who is now mobile without the use of a cane said, "But somehow we serve a God of the broken.
We serve a God who's really good with fragments."
Beloved Kingdom Family, these experiences and others are realities in our lives.
Because we live in this sin-filled world that produces all types of illnesses, challenges, trials and tribulations; we unfortunately may experience them.
Then, unfortunately, some of us agree with Satan and unbelievers and question Daddy's God's love, faithfulness, concern and compassion of humanity.
Of course, Satan wants to make us doubt God and to walk away from Him.
We are told in 2 Corinthians 10:5- Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and
bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Protected In, But Not Protected From Troubles! (3 of 5)
Family, we must remember that if such thoughts are not arrested and cast out of our minds, that we will begin to believe the lies of Satan
.
Rather, we as Kingdom people must focus on;
Psalm 34:19- Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Yes, in life, we will experience many troubles, adversities, dangers and evils.
Yes, there will be times we question Daddy-God as to why we are having to experience this or that and why He is not answering our prayers!
There will be times we ask Him; "Do You see what is going on-don't You care?"
But to silence those untrue and unfair questions to our faithful, good and loving Heavenly Father, we must embrace the proven truth of
the last part of the verse which reminds us but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Protected In, But Not Protected From Troubles! (4 of 5)
Therefore, our title; "Protected In, But Not Protected From Troubles"
reminds us that in the midst of the experiences of afflictions; Daddy-God is "Protecting" us from what could be so much worse.
He is with us for He promised that He will never leave nor forsake us.
This is the only reason why we are able to yet maintain under the great weights of life.
Due to this sinful-world cruelty, the three Hebrews had to experience the fiery furnace because they chose rather to serve God.

They were "Protected In" (the fiery furnace), "But Not Protected From" (the fiery furnace).
Each of us has our stories of experiencing unbelievably difficult times of life and yet living through them, because of the faithfulness of our Great God.
Therefore, as McClurkin and Hammond said and are doing, "I trust in God.
I put my total confidence in God"and "But somehow we serve a God of the broken.
We serve a God who's really good with fragments."
|
Protected In, But Not Protected From Troubles! (5 OF 5)
Family, let us stop, whining, crying, pleading with God to deliver us the way which we desire to be delivered, because He may
have other plans for our deliverance.
"When they have done their appointed work of purging, purifying, instructing, improving, or whatever else their work may be,
God removes the afflictions with which He has visited us or allowed us to be visited.
Ultimately, when He takes us to Himself, He mercifully, delivers us "out of them all." (Pulpit comm.)

All will be removed at the appropriate time, when it will be best for us to be so delivered.
And in this we ought to think ourselves happy, that God will both support us under our trials and will also put an end to them when He
hath sufficiently proved us thereby." (Benson Comm).
Believe that! Mature and endure it like a Kingdom Son or Daughter!
Trust your Daddy-God's care!!!
Continue doing the work of the Lord!!!

Words from the Heart!

Hey Dr. Lewis: Hope all is well with you and yours today! Thank you so very much for the wonderful words of wisdom for this week. You know sometimes waiting on the Lord is so hard for us cause we want what we think is good for us to have! But the Lord God knows what we need and will give it to us when we need it for sure. We will jump out there and get into all kinds of debt and whatever and the Lord did not say that we could have that thing, but we will say He told us we could. So at that space and time we really have lied on the Lord cause He did not tell us that, it was something we wanted so bad we think we heard Him say it, but like you said we have to learn to wait and not get in a hurry The Lord knows what we have need of and when we need it Love you lot's. Evangelist L V
Subject: Re: WHO IS THE WISER? Thanks Dr. T. I PRAY to accept the timing is not right or it is not for me. All wise God knows best. You remind me to rest in Him. Nice picture of you. Thanks for encouraging me. Lots of love and Blessing. R. S.
Thank you for sponsoring the "Amazing Star" program for us ordinary people. No one can imagine the feeling you get especially since I never thought I would be one of the participants. J D
Subject: Thank You Dr. T.L. (Trinity Love )
Thank you so much for the opportunity to share a moment of Christ with others. It was far more impacting then what I thought it might have been. No, I never thought it would be 1 or 2 people. But never thought it would be so many involved it was exciting. Me and my partial family had a great time at the event. Sorry but..... I had no shame in saying that I love you in front of others and at the podium. I hope that it did not embarrass you. It shouldn't because so many people do love you including my daughter. I felt honored that you choose me to ...whether by chance or by the pull of God either way I was thankful.
Most of all I wanted to share this with you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for the hugs and kisses that you gave my daughter, that was very precious to me and to her. As you know when they come out of a situation like she has been in, getting and keeping her self-esteem up is tough but it is a must. She can get down on herself for what happened. But to see her smile and to see her react to you with bright eyes was a blessing to my spirit. She received all your hugs to her with such great acceptance. Me Hugging her is one thing, but to receive it from others who care outside her earthly family, is another thing for her. She knows that daddy is in her corner to see her through. But thank you so much for what you did. You just don't know. She wanted to go and be a part of an event that was up lifting. After we left she was so thankful and glowing for being there and being a part of it as well. She just gleamed about you... Thank you for your love from myself and family.... from the bottom of our hearts. I love you my sister in Christ so much....thank you. M W
