Word Faith? I'd rather hear a faithful Word

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

>Why are we so suprized?<

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

>Would we rather the glory of men? or of God? and what of riches, wealth, prosperity?<
>I only prosper if my soul prospers.<


Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
