What is the Greatest thing you have ever spoken?

The David Alliance [email protected] Garth Heckman   SHAD SHACK BENNY  You may not understand the pressure… but you can trust God to use it to produce something amazing. THE GREATEST STATEMENT OF FAITH UNDER PRESSURE WAS DAN. 3:18 -  Oh King our God can save us… but even if He doesn’t we will not bow… TO THE PAIN   Point 2 Pain Proves What's Genuine Greek: δοκίμιον (dokimion) — James 1:3 says "the testing (dokimion) of your faith produces perseverance." The word comes from the world of metalworking: when a shopkeeper "proofs" gold, he's establishing whether it's genuine — not creating value, but revealing value already present, or exposing what was fake.   Illustration: Stradivarius violins are prized in part because of the dense, slow-growth wood used to build them — wood that grew during an unusually cold, harsh period in Italian and Bavarian Alps. Trees that struggled through decades of brutal winters produced tighter growth rings and denser wood, which is part of why those violins carry a tone modern instruments still can't replicate. The hardship in the wood's history is literally inside the sound. THE SOUND THE VIOLIN MAKES PROVES THAT IT HAS BEEN THROUGH THE PRESSURE AND STRESS! When you are looking for a true friend, mentor, marriage partner etc… ask them what pain have you been through? What did you learn… and if it is about the situation, or the person who caused it… be careful. BUT IF THEY TELL YOU WHAT THEY LEARNED ABOUT THEMSELVES… THAT MEANS THE PAIN WAS GOOD FOR THEM.
