This is the Reason You Went Through Trials in 2024
Was your 2024 filled with trials and tribulations?
There is nothing that we go through without a reason. If you went through trials in 2024, Vlad Savchuk recently explained how these situations can be used for your benefit in 2025.
“Each season of your life will have garments. And when seasons change, garments change. Sometimes your seasons will change because somebody will rip a garment out of you,” Savchuk says.

Savchuk says that when these changes happen, it is necessary to have your roots planted deeply in God. He also encouraged others to understand that God will work in us first to accomplish all that He has for us. However, just because God chooses to do the work in us first before bringing us into all that He has planned, it doesn’t change the fact that He wants to fulfill the things He has promised to us.
“Before God works through you, He sends a word to you. God does not play games with words. He created the world with His Word. God, before He gave Abraham a son, He gave him a word. Before God gave Israel promised land, He gave them promised word,” Savchuk says. “God always works like that. He brings a word to you before He starts a work through you.”
Just as Joseph was tested before God placed him in a position of power and authority, the Lord also tests us first before bringing us to the place of promise.
“When He gives you a promise, He’s not considering your weakness and your strength. He’s considering His grace, His power and His Spirit,” Savchuk says. “So that when that word comes true, you will not take credit and boast in it but you will say, ‘It was not my might, it was not by power. It was by God’s Spirit that this happened in my life.”
He also points out that just as it takes time for a baby to come to full term, so too our dreams take time to come to full term. If something comes to pass too soon, it will not last. This means that not only is the promise itself important to God, but so is the process of spiritual growth and development. If your faith was tested in 2024, it is part of the process of God testing you and bringing you into what He has next for your life. Savchuk also notes how God uses the bad things that happen in our lives for our good.
“His eyes scan to and fro the earth to see whose heart is loyal. He’s no respecter of your circumstances. He doesn’t care what people said about you and what they’ve done to you. If He chooses the time to release you, no devil in hell can stop you.”
If you experienced great testing in 2024, perhaps God was training you and preparing you for something more that He has for you to experience in 2025.
