1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: 2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

When we pray that God’s will would be done on earth as it is in heaven remember that the word concerning the New Testament ministry in this book is God’s will being done on earth.

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 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.

First and foremost, God needs to be blessed by your ministry. You may be angry by the unrighteousness and wickedness that you see, but reacting in a way that would cause people to curse God is not the ministry. These BLM rallies that allow rioting and looting to take place, that allow people’s businesses to be destroyed, that is not a ministry of God. Our ministry is formed when God comforted us in our tribulation, the very comfort that He gave to us we can in turn give to others. One thing I have learned is that the day will come when liars are exposed. It may seem tough when you are being slandered but whether they get exposed a day later, a month later or even ten years later, the day will come when they are exposed and at that time you will be vindicated.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

We do not seek “suffering”. Rather we seek the kingdom of God. As a result this causes the enemy to attack us, if possible it will be done in a hidden fashion, but if that is no longer possible the enemy will attack you openly. That is why the “sufferings of Christ abound in you”. Likewise your consolation will not aboud for those who are choosing to yield to unrighteousness, to embrace the lie rather than the truth, that worship idols rather than the true and living God. Our consolation abounds towards those who are taking a stand for the Lord.

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.

Whatever happens to the apostles it works out for good, they are the “pioneers” clearing the way. They are like John the Baptist “making straight the paths of the Lord”. They level the hills and fill in the valleys.

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.

Follow the path that the apostle’s have blazed. As more and more of us take this path it becomes a paved road and then a highway.

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: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Why is this so difficult and seemingly impossible? So that we don’t trust in ourselves but rather the God who raises the dead.

Look at this election fraud, we have the evidence, it is on videotape, it is clear as day. They hid about 18,000 votes for the entire day, sent everyone home early at 11 pm, turned the lights off and “hid” for thirty minutes to make sure they all left, and then pulled out these ballots and counted them giving Biden a 12,000 vote victory. When you post a short video of this fraud on Facebook they censor it. Why? Because the commentator describes these boxes with wheels as suitcases and they say they were boxes, not suitcases. It is hard to tell but apparently the fact checkers at Facebook have first hand knowledge that they were boxes of ballots, not suitcases of them. The mainstream media will not cover this story. Many of the legislators and judges appear scared to do anything about it. Why? So that we can pray to God and trust in the God who delivers and give Him the glory.
