Discovering the Great and Precrious Promises of GOD (affliction)

So far we have covered just a small portion of GODS Promised and with the last one I asked Him what or which one He wanted me to do next. During the night watch I got my answer, Affliction was it. What I found was amazing and profound and once more the list rather long. So what I will do is list many of them with where they maybe found. It is GODS way of revealing to us ourselves and then His way of perfecting His Charter and image within us when He has been restored within us. The first person to experience this was Adam as seen in Genesis 3 and then all the way down through mans history. It is not a welcomed subject in the churches of our day but because this is true I will say this, if you take the time required you will benefit greatly from this study. If you have a good study reference Bible there should be a chain of study in it on this topic much like the one I have listed here. I happen to have several of them and they each have a lengthy list with other areas and subtopics or heading, so take up the challenge if you are up to it and enjoy.
