Do We Suffer as Believers? What Is Suffering?

Greek word usage in New Testament.

Suffer  (english word) is used in the New Testament in many ways in the KJV. 

Here is a verse that uses the english word endure where in other places suffer is used and then this verse also uses

1 Peter 2:19 KJV For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

More detail on that above verse:
1 Peter 2:18-20 KJV
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

Sample verse selection:

2 Timothy 2:11-13 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

In verse 12 portion:
"If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:"

I was curious what exactly the Greek word for suffer was and what it meant.

suffer:
Greek word:
G5278 ὑπομένω hupomeno (hï-po-me'-nō) v.
Definition:
1. to remain under or behind.
2. (figuratively) to endure, to undergo (trials).
3. (by implication) to have fortitude.


This greek word is used 16 times in the New Testament:

Believers Have the Holy Spirit and Have Been Given Power to Use the Authority Jesus Has Obtained

Jesus sits far above all principality and power and might and dominion and over every name that is named. Believers have been given the Holy Spirit and because of that we also have been charged with going out and telling the good news to others and we are equipped to do anything that Jesus has for us to do accessing the authority placed in us through Jesus. Ephesians 1:20-21 KJV Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: After Jesus rose from the dead he said the following: Matthew 28:18-19 KJV  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things

Common Threads Between Hyper Grace and Hyper Mystical Charismatics (NAR) Dominionism

1. Spirit of Error 2. Spirit of Pride (boasters, arrogant, high minded) 3. Desire to get people together and teach them these strange doctrines of devils. 4. Both have a different Jesus in a way.  Why I say this is because the Hyper Grace people have a Jesus they call Grace.  And the Hyper Charismatics have a Jesus that gets them drunk in the spirit and toking the ghost.  Very demonic manifestations happening to many of these people with twitches and ticks.  If it is of God then I'm just not discerning this right, but I see this as a dangerous thing to play around with. 5. The teach things that focus on self not on Jesus and not on what Jesus did at the cross. Or it is some hybrid of that.   6. Eventually both these false teachings and false focuses lead to destruction. 7. They can see the error in others by they cannot see their own error. 8. They DO NOT discern the spirits to see if they are from God. 9. These groups also both build their theology on the

A Dream Interpretation February 22 2017

Dream was submitted for interpretation and is everything written that is not indented. DREAM: So, we are in a kind of seedy part of town, don't know what town.  We are on one side of a busy street. looking over to the OTHER SIDE. we saw a short row of neat little shops...A Coffee shop, as little pizza Parlor, the kind of little places we like to frequent... Interpretation: The world is full of wickedness and deceit. A voice from behind us said matter of factly that what we were seeing wasn't really there... *Note: further clarification is the direction of the voice: " On the right behind us. ." Interpretation: The voice behind is the voice of the God/Holy Spirit telling him that the things that he is seeing in this world are temporary, but the things which cannot be seen are eternal. The things that are in this world that give pleasure are temporary. 2 Corinthians 4:18(KJV) While we look not at the things which are seen, but at th
