Preparations for Sufferings | John Flavel | Christian Audiobook

~ Audiobook Description ~
We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance. - Romans 5:3
It is as much our interest as it is our duty to be awakened out of our pleasant but most pernicious drowsiness. Troubles will be so much more sinking and intolerable if they take us by surprise. Just as expectation spoils earthly comforts by sucking out much of its sweetness beforehand so that we find less in it when we come to the actual enjoyment, so the expectation of suffering eases much of the dread and terror by accustoming our thoughts beforehand and making preparation for them. If prepared, we do not find suffering so grievous, overwhelming, and intolerable when it does come.
It is not the design of this book to frighten anyone with imaginary dangers, much less to sow jealousies or stir up discontentment for the times. But, it is lamentable that the tokens of God’s anger produce in most of us no fruit other than bold censures and loud clamors rather than humiliation for our own sins and the due preparation to take up our own cross and follow Christ in His suffering. The only goal of this book is to provide a better understand of the purpose and function of suffering for the sake of Christ. Should we not be of those who sincerely resolve and prepare to be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises (Hebrews 6:12) and take them for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience (James 5:10)?

Hosea 6:3 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 3 Yes, let us know (recognize, be acquainted with, and understand) Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord [to appreciate, give heed to, and cherish Him]. His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn, and He will come to us as the [heavy] rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.

I was not prepared for suffering. I expected trouble and I fear not the world because Jesus Christ/ Yeshua overcome the world. I need to know the length of time took to write about spiritual weapon and warfare.

A question to all???? Moved by lust at the sight of her, King David called for Bathsheba to be brought to him and slept with her. David committed adultery with a married woman called Bathsheba, wife of Uriah. what's more, David murdered Uriah by proxy by ordering all of Uriah's comrades to abandon him in the midst of battle, so that he ended up getting killed by an opposing army. The Prophet Nathan was sent by God and warned King David. well, Torah verses clearly say that both URIAH and DAVID Blessed by GOD. Well, the question is, if Uriah, David and Bathsheba go to heaven. To whom will Bathsheba be given?

@@johnbenedict1883 Therefore, Abraham will not have Sarah as his wife in heaven, just as Mary will not have Joseph as her husband.?Terrible justice.... Your answer is not satisfactory, Matthew 22:23‭-‬33/ it has different meaning.

Why does John Flavel states that the disciple in Tyre pretended to speak by the spirit, when they were indeed speaking according to the Holy Spirit. They actually saw what Paul would go through. However, Paul knew he must go in spite of the opposition that he would face.
