Endure all Hardship by Bishop David Papakakiro

The speaker emphasizes the importance of enduring all hardships, regardless of their form. They mention various forms of hardship, such as sickness, lack, setback, starvation, poverty, and rejection. The speaker believes that enduring hardship is part of their calling as a pastor and acknowledges that it requires the strength of the Holy Spirit. They also mention that their name is Matthew Diaz and that their hardships can cause others to feel emotional pain. The speaker encourages focusing on the outcome rather than the hardships themselves, as they believe that greater pain leads to greater joy and greater enemies lead to greater victory. They also mention a situation where someone complained about their problems, but the speaker found them to be insignificant compared to their own hardships. The Bible say, Endure all hardship, all hardship, not one, not two, not three, not four, but all. It has come in the format of sickness, endure. In the format of lack, endure. In the format of setback, endure. In the format of starvation, endure. In the format of poverty, endure. In the format of rejection, endure. In the format of whatever dimensions there are. The Bible say, Endure all hardship, like a good soldier. Bless Jesus again. This one, I will never stop to tell you. Being a pastor has never been my dream. I have never applied for that. I am only asking. He knows that he takes me into this thing by himself. He knows I ran away for what I want, but he brings me back only to make me endure hardship. A sermon here. Now this one, it takes the Spirit of God to understand. That is why you can slap me on the back and I can still smile with you. Because I know it is not I, but it is Christ in me. My name is Matthew Diaz. But because I die, you will cry for me. That is me. So when you slap me, you start crying. You backbite me, you backbite cry. You fight me, you fight cry. Yes, you say you will be with me. I told you I want to go this way, you said go this way. Amen. Are you here? Because if I was deployed in CPS here, as a DPC or OTCID, and I come here with my rank, with my pistol, all of you could slap me. Oh yes, because I come with my voice. Are you here? I don't even ask for you, I ask for the pastor. And you will call the pastor when you are shaking. And I tell the pastor I want to talk to you. He says, come. He believes I am going to speak in office. He will just give me. Amen. Your target is not the hardship, but your target is the outcome. Greater pain, greater joy. That one you didn't hear me. Greater enemies, greater victory. Celebrate. But if you cannot withstand even one single hardship, only one, just one. At times, I laugh at people. When I sit in that office, somebody comes and says, come on, what is your problem? Too much. I say, okay, say all that too much. My children are not going to school. I have no food. Then I ask, how much is the problem? Two hundred thousand. And they say it is too much. Children are not going to school. Landlord is taking them out. They have no capital. So all of that is one problem. Not even two. But according to you, too much. Too much.
