  AN.ENSIGN_ CONNERSVILLE.IN SATURDAY_ 53-0606

  Many times people say, "See all that sickness in that family? I told you. They're not living right." Now, God does do that sometime, but not every time it's God doing that; 'cause God here, was dealing with a saint, a trying and proving of a saint. And every man that cometh to God must first be tried of God. And if he can't stand chastisement, then you become a illegitimate child, and not the child of God. Trials to try our faith. Isn't that marvelous, God would give us those trials and tests to prove us?

  THE.APPROACH.TO.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 55-0123A

  E-36 Now, if you ever notice, how that when the disaster struck Job's home, and the children was all killed and everything... And all Job had was destroyed. God wasn't rebuking Job. He was only purging Job. Amen. I like that word, a purge.

  The branch that bears fruit, then God purges it, that it'll bring forth more fruit. The trouble of it is, we think sometimes God's angry with us. But He's only trying to purge us that we'll bring abundance of fruit, giving us a few trials. The Bible said that they're worth more to you than precious gold.

  JEHOVAH.JIREH_ SIOUX.FALLS.SD FRIDAY_ 56-0224

  E-23 ….......................He said, "Abraham, I am Thy exceeding great reward." Oh, my, God testing Abraham... You believe God tests you? He's tested me a many time, and He will test every son that comes to Him, no matter who it is, not any exceptions. He will... Every one that comes must first be tested, child-trained, brought up. You know that's what makes a good child sometime, when you give him a little testing, you know. Papa used to give it to me with the--with the hickory switch, about this long, you know, with all the ten commandments wrote on it. When I... All of them, you know, that was the golden rule at home. And he sure knowed how to use it right too

  TIME.TESTED.MEMORIALS.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 57-0818

  E-60 …...................................... He's looking for time-tested memorials as He can say, "There's my servant. I've tested him; I've tried him; I've put him through like Job. He still proves a hundred percent." God, be merciful to us, that we can take God at His Word and be time-tested memorials. Let us pray.

  E-34 Many times that troubles strike our home; it's blessing in disguisements. Some people might say, "Well, you're sick, just because you're not right with God." That doesn't mean that. Job was right with God, and he was sick. But it's God testing you, putting you to a test to see what you'll do. Maybe he let the doctors say that for a purpose, to see what you'd do.

  We're near the coming of the Lord. God's coming for a Church. He never asked and questioned, "Will I have a Church? Will I have righteousness?" But here was the question Jesus asked, "Will I find faith when I come?" God's putting you to a test, maybe, to try your faith.....................

  
  I.KNOW_ JEFF.IN EASTER.MESSAGE.BOOK SUNDAY_ 60-0417S

  62 Before Abraham could see Elohim there had to be twenty-five years of testing. Before the Hebrew children could see the Son of God they had to go into a fiery furnace. Before Daniel could see an Angel he had to go into the lion's den. Before Job could ever see the resurrection he had to go in and lose everything he had; but then by a vision he saw........................

  I.HAVE.HEARD.BUT.NOW.I.SEE_ SHREVEPORT.LA V-7 N-3 SATURDAY_ 65-1127E

  44 Job, let's take a little of his life. Job was a prophet......................But he'd come to a place to where he calls it here, being tempted of the Lord. But I'd like to use the word, "being tested" by the Lord. And truly, every son that cometh to God must first be tested, tried, child-trained. And then if the testing gets hard, and we think it's too hard and won't listen (take heed), then He said we become a illegitimate child, and not a child of God. Because there's nothing can move a real, borned again child of God away from his Parent (See?); he's part of Him. You can no more deny it, you deny yourself. See? You've had the experience, you've been trained and tested.

  Additional quotes to go along with the above.
  

  THE.COMFORTER_ JEFF.IN V-15 N-5 SUNDAY_ 61-1001E

  109 When his people come, the churches, and tried to--to reconcile him, and say, "Looky here, Job, looky here, you know that you've sinned. You know that you've done wrong. How would God ever punish a righteous man like that, would take all he's got, take his children, tear up his home, do all of these things, and break down your health? And here you are setting here, a miserable wretch. How do... How can you justify yourself, Job, by saying that you're not a sinner?"

  But Job knowed he wasn't a sinner, because he was standing on the Word. Amen. God required that burnt offering and a--a confession, and Job had made his confession and stood on the Word. And he cried in the midst of his trouble, "I know my Redeemer liveth; at the last days He'll stand on the earth. And though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." See, his comfort was God's promise, God's Word.

  That's the heritage that we have: God's Word; It's the promise. Yes, sir.

  
  

  THREE.KINDS.OF.BELIEVERS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-6 SUNDAY_ 63-1124E

  15-5 Job, another believer... Sometimes believers put to the test, not sometimes, every time: For every son that cometh to God must be chastened, tried, child-trained. Remember the trials, the dusty roads, the hot sun of persecution, but the loyalty of your heart beats that material to she's ready to go into the mold. God's children is made up correctly on His Word, for they are living examples, and the Word of God living through them. See? The trial comes to shake you, to put you to the very bottom, to see where you'll stand. See? Tested, tried, every son that cometh to God...

  
  

  
  

  
  

  FOR.HIM.WILL.I.ACCEPT_ HAMMOND.IN FRIDAY_ 52-0718

  E-28 Now, Job knew he had not sinned. Wherefore, after all them trials, and all that trouble, Job just kept holding on. There was something about it that he knew that God loved him, and he loved God............

  
  

  AN.ENSIGN_ CONNERSVILLE.IN SATURDAY_ 53-0606

  E-7 …..........................And his wife came and said, "Job, why don't you curse God and die?"

  He said, "Woman, thou speakest like a foolish woman." Now, he never said she was foolish, but she was speaking like one. He said, "The Lord gave and the Lord taken away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord." Some of his church members came down to give him some consolation, set with their back to him seven days, accused him of being a secret sinner. Not much consolation there, but they accused him of sinning against God; but Job knowed his heart. He knowed he hadn't sinned against God

  WITNESSES_ JEFF.IN V-25 N-6 SUNDAY_ 53-0405E

  78 Then there's sometimes a penalty goes with a witness. Sometimes when you witness for God, you have to suffer a little bit.

  You remember when mother told you that you couldn't stay around home, as long as you read the Bible and carried on? Or, some of the neighbors said, or the children said, at school you was a fanatic, or something, because you was a true witness? Remember, on the job, how all the men laughed at you because you was a real witness? See? How on the streets you were made fun of, when you give a testimony? But that's a genuine sign of a real, true witness. God wants witnesses.

  Now, some people say, "I testify in church." That's good.

  But, brother, let your Light shine in the dark places, where it's really needed, out in the hedges and the highways, in the barrooms, out, down on the street. Everywhere you're at, let your Light shine as a witness. Amen.

  Notice, then the fiery trial come on. And every man that'll witness for God will have to go through fiery trials. Isn't it strange how God leads His people? Very strange...
