Partaking in Christs Sufferings - Taking Up Our Cross

Partaking In Christs Sufferings

2 Corinthians  1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 
1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 
1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 
1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 
1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 
1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 
1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 
1:9 *But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:*
1:10 *Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;*
1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 
1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 
1:13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 
1:14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

 Romans  8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 
8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 
8:18 *For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us*
8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

1 Peter  4:12 Beloved, *think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:* 
4:13 *But rejoice*, inasmuch as *ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings;* that, when his glory shall be revealed, *ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.*

4:14 *If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you:* on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 

4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 
4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 
4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 
4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 
4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Some people are being taught that there is nothing in lifes journ to suffer when you chose to believe in Christ. The scriptures are very clear about what it means when we are attacked or suffer reproach of any kind. That we ought to REJOICE IN IT and count it BLESSING because in that very rejoicing we find the strength to overcome those very reproaches and sufferings.

When you truly adhere to the FULL doctrine of Christ there are reproaches of the world that attempt to come against you and overcoming HAS BEEN PROMISED and IS WITHIN Jesus Christ and Walking in that very doctrine that is found reproachable.

In this Jesus Has made the table of any following the precepts of the world a snare and a stumbling block for them for us to  behold Gods glory in our partaking of HIS sufferings.

Both in being faithhful and commited in a marital relationship as well as needing and condoning no abstinance of any sort from any meats that God has ordained or made to be received with thanksgiving, the enemy will attempt to cause you some type of discomfort of which is thoroughly overcome in the light of Christ Jesus and His intercession for us as we are seated at the right hand of the Father above all those principalities and powers of such worldly and man made devilish doctrine. 

Even when people adress life issues pertaining to money AS JESUS DID in the truth of what UNRIGHTEOUSNESS truly means, there is reproach upon the road and yet glorious overcoming in the winning of souls toward God and redemption from the world in the ministry of reconciliation of conscience body and heart for those who have been lied to in mass conspiracy against God by subjective default of false doctrine that is used by the world.

Remember that our redemption draws nigh and that We have Jesus to look up to and find within Him the salvation and ministry of reconciliation that he has given us to steward in life.
