God had a plan in place for your transition before you were in your mother's womb. Those the Lord called, chose, and foreknew, He also predestined.
You are living in Hell. You have been steeped in an evil environment for several years. The Lord is going to make sure that everything is in place in terms of your salvation before He calls you home to be with Him. The evil and discomfort is so huge and engulfing it is surely and without a doubt, designed and preordained by God. It is too big for you to get your head around. The only good that can come out of the situation that you are in are hallmark signatures of God's love for the world. No weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and although the Lord slay you, you will trust Him (Job 13:15). For you are fully persuaded that neither depth nor height, (Romans 8:38-39) nor things present nor things to come, shall separate you from the love which is in Christ Jesus. Through all of your suffering and pain Jesus will never let you go. Present your life as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)
Souls are going to be saved as a result of your suffering. The gospel message will be shared as a result of your suffering, and when the Lord transitions you, you will be in total peace.
Fasten your seat belts which is the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). You, the born again believer, is being prepared for takeoff--transition from earth to glory. There is turbulence--trials, tribulation, temptation, degradation, subjugation, humiliation, isolation, exploitation--but, your heavenly Father--the pilot--is in complete control. It will be a smooth landing as your spirit leaves your earthly body and you land in the arms of Jesus. Jesus will have a big smile on His face. You will have a big smile on your face. Jesus will say, "well done my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I have now made you faithful over many. Enter into the joy of your salvation." (Matthew 25:21-23).
Your Hell was so that someone else might live. Your Hell was for the purpose of winning souls for Christ. Your Hell was for the purpose of pointing someone to Jesus. Jesus died that we might live. Jesus who is the ruler of your life--why would your purpose be any different from His?
Your Hell is public. It is not a secret. It is not hidden. Satan has an organized cadre of dark forces --bad experiences, challenges of life, targeted hate, targeted jealousy, targeted covetousness, temptations, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, sickness and disease, lies, intimidation, deception, psychological and mental distortions, acts of manipulation--many are the afflictions of the righteous, and the sun shines on the just as well as the unjust. No one is exempt from the attacks of evil intent, perpetrated through humans one against another or the overwhelming lust for things that have the potential to make us hate, steal, kill and destroy each other--all posing as something--while we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against evil and spiritual wickedness in high places. But I digress. Your humiliations, shame, and degradation is public because that is how the Lord intended it to be for the purpose of fulfilling His will and purpose, on earth. So don't think it strange that these fiery trials have come upon you.
Lord Jesus glorify thyself in me, that You may get the glory. Many were, are, and are going to be chosen for this humongous task to suffer, and give birth to the Savior of the world. Mary said, "everyone shall call me blessed."(Luke 1:48) Eight days after Jesus was born, Mary and Joseph went to take the baby to the temple to present as a blessing to the Lord. Simeon, told Mary that, yes, this baby Christ, born of the Holy Ghost is a blessing but you, Mary, shall feel the sword piercing in your side (Luke 2).

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
