Storms in life tests our faith. God will never deny his faith. Faith is the outcome of what we are going through, and Heaven operates by faith. Every trial tests our faith.
God Will Never Deny Our Faith
Determining how much I have or accumulate is not faith - money can bring things. Outside the will of God, faith does not operate, and faith will never hear the words "no," "I'll see," or "I'll think about it."
There are different kinds of storms in life, i.e., family, individual, financial, and mind storms. Anytime we have to make decisions, it is a storm. Making the wrong decision and knowing we did bring us into a place of repentance, we feel guilty. You can never teach/preach what you have never overcome, and you can never minister about what you have not defeated.
When storms of life come, it should not make us different from Christ (who is faith). This is how you know who is going through storms. They will say they're going to perish, fail, and fear comes in - fear causes us to lie. In the book of Mark 4:35-41, Jesus was teaching them about crossing over to the other side during storms. Jesus cares so much that He's going to test our faith to see if we care about Him.
We must learn to rebuke the cause of the problem (the wind), not the sea, for we speak peace to the problem it caused.
i.e., Financial problems: rebuke your spending habits for not seeking God and not being faithful in your tithes and offerings after rebuking yourself speak peace to the problem it caused.
When we have faith, we can rest during any situation/circumstance. There should always be a calm during a storm because faith operates. Jesus Christ knew the storm, but the disciples did not know the storm came from the wind; they thought it was the sea. Ask the Holy Ghost what's the name of the storm you are going through and what is causing your storm.
James 1:1-8 have faith "without no doubting." If a man has any doubt/doubting in his spirit or soul and gets something, it did not come from the Lord. Doubting goes so deep spiritually, naturally, and financially if we do not believe in the word of God, anything we get does not come from Him.
Testing is not to destroy/afflict but to purge and refine us like gold so we can be seen as more valuable to God and His Kingdom. Patience can never be produced without the testing of your faith. Faith has to be genuine, being much more precious and tested by fire.
Trials are outward circumstance, conflicts, sufferings, troubles encountered by all Believers
Trials: ordeals that we encounter in life rather than these things that induce sin all the testing/trials/tribulations induce life Lord let us go through now these storms come through to purge us refine us like gold.
