I understand that "broken people" minister to "broken people", is there ever a time when we no longer need this lesson? ;0))

I am sure we can always use it if not to keep us humble, as Paul had his thorn in his flesh. Also, If we are ever aware of our sin. if we constantly critisize our actions, ourselves and are not blind to our sin, then we confess that to God, He doesn’t need to send the smack down on us. He only (most of time) sends us trials when we grow lax in our pursuit to reign over our flesh. But, I willingly suffer for trials and hardships in hopes that I can assume some responsibility for my sin and the pain and suffering that Christ endured on my behalf.

The KJV is "In your patience possess ye your souls." Luke 21:19

(In your patience you will possess your souls) ?

Since the trying of our faith produces patience, and this faith of Christ is full of Joy unspeakable and full of glory, is this also what it means to be "receiving the END of your faith, even the salvation of your souls" ?

Isn’t it amazing that both the Apostle Peter, and the Apostle James speak of Joy and rejoicing in the midst of our faith’s trial, so that Patience may have her perfect work in us?

Wherein ye GREATLY REJOICE, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations: (Isn’t that very similar to James saying, "Count it ALL JOY when you fall into various temptations"?)
That the trial of your faith, being MUCH MORE PRECIOUS than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
RECEIVING the end of your faith, EVEN the salvation of YOUR SOULS.
1 Peter 1:6-9

"KNOWING THIS, that the trying of your faith works PATIENCE!" James 1:3

In light of Beloved James’ message concerning what "works patience", (the trying of our faith) is Beloved Peter expounding here upon Jesus’ foundation words, "In your patience you will possess your souls" ?

Bonus Q: Since the trial of our faith, "though it be tried with fire", is undergoing a refining and purifying process, what is our faith being purified from?….What is the dross here, which must be plucked out? Could it be the confidence that we after the flesh (in our natural man) ?

I ask this, for this spiritual refining appears to also be very similar to our spiritual circumcision, where faith is concerned.

" For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the flesh. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ." Philippians 3:3-7

What are your sincere thoughts on these things dearly beloved truth seeker ?
Much love to you and to all! : )
(((Lowly:))) thank you dear brother….good answer : )

"By your patience possess your souls",is so very KEY to the successful christian walk. Impatience is one of the leading causes of rejection of Christianity by millions,because they want short-term now things, over long-term future rewards. It takes patience to have self-control ,forgiveness, perseverence,humility ,and the patience required to do lots of Bible studying. An impatient person does not possess or control their soul ;their soul is possessed by the so-called demons of anger,greed,revenge, impatience, hatred, doubt, and self-caused-ignorance/blindness.

The Joy of the Lord comes from having the Holy Ghost. The HG does not lead one to partake of idol worship.

Their pretending this is the birthday of Jesus, is only an excuse to keep on with their ungodly worship of Baal.

The day of the bride dawns
Through layers of white plaster skin
And multi-sashed kimono
Head made huge by lacquered hair-
She is swept ashore in her glass bottle
White and tight as a folded paper message
Eyes hidden in a swirl of green boughs.
She moves like a mannequin
Maneuvered by centuries of ceremony
Under the weight of speech and incantation
A wail of priests and watching families
Beside rows of low tables
With small triangles of paper
Congratulatory slits of squid and curls of seaweed.
Then kneeling at the end of a fresh memory
She is discarded by her heavy day
And is plunged into the twentieth century
Tiny apartment daily stream
As a barely visible
Folded paper speck

She is discarded by her heavy day
And is plunged into the twentieth century
Tiny apartment daily stream
As a barely visible
Folded paper speck

It is the bride. She is discarded… as a …. folded paper speck. In others words she is treated as a queen then sent to the ritualism of life for her.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Yes i do have such experiences. When you get filled in spirit and pray in tounges sincerely, you can have this. When you feel that Jesus and Holy spirit is also praying along with you when you pray, you can feel this.
