Everybody in this world goes through problems and situations and trials and tribulations.

But the Lord is with us.

That's the difference between us and the world.

The world has nobody, but we got Jesus.

And then we're supposed to have the body of Christ, other brothers and sisters that can lift up our hands and pray for us.

I am falling.

I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in the middle of an exciting time. We are in the middle of an exciting Somebody Loves You Radio, the Bible teaching ministry of Roll Rees in Diamond Bar, California.

We are in the middle of an exciting study of First Peter, and it's great to have you with us.

You know, nothing stretches faith more than suffering, and if you're going through a fiery trial

today, you might be struggling to trust the Lord. If that's the case, Roll has a word of encouragement for us that God is working through

these things for your benefit.

The truth is, he loves you, he is in control, and His Holy Spirit is with you.

Let's listen as Roll Rees begins today's teaching.

In chapter 4, verse 12 of 1 Peter, the observation was how to deal with

trials as Christians. Because immediately there are people on television and radio, they will tell

you that if you're a real Christian, Christians don't suffer. Christians only prosper. That's baloney.

That's a doctrine from hell. If you become a Christian, God will give you money. God will

give you power. God will give you a new card. All you have to do is have enough faith, baloney. Be careful of such people. There are wolves and sheep's clothing.

They're lying to you. If Jesus suffer, why should we not suffer? And he was God.

He was the example.

And we follow that example.

We are going to suffer.
