1Pet.1:6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,
1:7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ--

Grieved by various trials, grieved by God, or evil spirit force in heavenly places? The power of wicked spirit to judge us in the flesh has indeed conquered this world in every form of religion, government, and commerce. The working of rebellious spirit son's of God personalities permeated into every fiber of this world system of things inter woven into a garment by the intrigues of willing mankind.

Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Now God's children are faced with the whole truth after being raised up into the spirit body of Christ above the corruption of this earth they must inhabit their old vessel of flesh indwelt with the righteous, holy, incorruptible life of Christ, like a light, bright, without sin that the wicked spirits hate! The flesh profits nothing, but if wicked spirit forces can make God's children believe the flesh profits everything they would be enslaved again under the guilt of sins laws, the very thing Christ set them free from by his own righteousness, not by works they had done, but by works he had done for them out of love!

Hebrews 6:4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 6:5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,

1 Peter 2:3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

Romans 6:13 Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

Romans 6:14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

Romans 6:18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

Romans 8:10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

These brothers and sisters must see from above down, not below up, but down like eagles, they must stay seated in Christ above. seeing the whole picture, what picture? That their battles are not in the flesh with flesh. No! That would enslave them again into captivity of all flesh in death, they had been taken by Christ to be captives to his righteousness in setting others free from the judgments of sin. They had become Satan's worst nightmare the thing God uses to bring down his evil empire!

Luke.11:21 "When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe. 11:22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. 11:23 "He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn't gather with me scatters.

2 Corinthians 13:4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 3:2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

Yes, they would suffer temporary in the flesh, it would do all that it could to rebel and lust against the Spirit in them. It would test them to the limit, and wicked spirits would bombard them with ever evil and vile thought to mislead them into judging flesh, fighting with the flesh trying to save the flesh, but only temporary to God's own glory in perfecting their faith in God's love.

Rom.8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In to something that cannot perish a life that indwell them with something better than gold, they would receive incorruptible life of Christ completely consuming the death at work in them by the sinful flesh into immortality, without death, incorruptibility with Christ the savior of the body.

2 Timothy 1:10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

Jude 1:25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

But, they would suffer, the rules of flesh don't apply to God's anointed, there is a wicked double standard used against them from the second God's births them into Christ their new life. They mustn't be fooled, life is not going to be a happy ending on earth for them, they like those they followed will be rejected by this world as unworthy of honor and glory. They will not be known by this world because the flesh cannot know the things of the Spirit.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

1 John 4:5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

1 John 3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.

1 John 3:13 Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

Subsequently, if they fail in not being seated above, an unrighteous havoc will conqueror their lives in trying to right every wrong of the flesh in its world. They do not belong to this world, its system its laws, its growth, its desires, they belong to another, Christ.

John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

Thus, we are told not to engage evil with evil, flesh with flesh, but conqueror the evil with good, only one is good, God, and he is a Spirit who conquered us with love!

Ezekiel 47:12 By the river on its bank, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall its fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing.

Acts 10:38 even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

1 John 4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

1 John 4:17 In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.
