God has different ways of leading us from one dimension to another. Let us look at two of these avenues:
God allows tribulations, trials and persecutions

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us as far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17)
God works in the midst of tribulations, trials, and persecutions to lead us into new dimensions of glory. I am not saying that God sends tribulations, but what they come, he uses them to manifest his glory. Temporal tribulation, therefore, produces a greater weight of glory in us. Consider the following illustration; if we enter a trial with ‘’ten pounds’’ of weight in glory (keep in mind that this is only an example because the glory cannot be measured in pounds) and we learn to rejoice through that trial, we will make it to the other side of the difficulty weighing ‘’two pounds’’ in weight of glory. During crises times, we need to die to self- the ego and humble ourselves; however, above all, this is the time when we must learn to depend more on God. This process liberates is from self-rebellion, and religious striving, thus allowing God to be Lord in our circumstances. We must rejoice in our tribulations because they produce in us a ‘’greater, more excellent and eternal weight of glory’’ This is how God manifest his glory, which is in us. In contrast, if we complain or sink into self-pity, we will go backward and never reach new dimensions of his glory
God uses Revelation or Revealed Knowledge
For in the gospel of Christ the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith Romans 1:17
Notice that movement is depicted in the above verse. It is revelation, or revealed knowledge, that takes us ‘’from faith to faith’’ and from glory to glory. The inherent characteristic of all movements is that they transport us from one place to another. In this way, neither our faith nor the glory can become stagnant. If that happens, it is because there is no revelation to move us forward.

As we discussed earlier, our faith remains at the level where revealed knowledge ends. Other dimensions of faith, glory, and miracles await us. And yet, when we lack revealed knowledge we become ‘’stuck’’ not knowing where to go or where our paths will lead us.
Even though we know God has new territories, revelations and manifestations for us, we lack the ability to reach them. In what dimension of glory are you in right now? Are you ‘’stuck’’ there, desiring to enter a new dimension? Today God invites you to enter into his cloud- into a new dimension of his glory. He wants to give you a greater weight of his glory. One you have never before experienced. Liberate yourself from all rigidness and begin to move. Cast out religion, shake off apathy and formality and decide to enter the cloud of his presence so that you can experience a new dimension of his glory. I challenge you to earnestly seek various dimension of the glory of God as you receive the revelation of them.

Glad to read from you, been ages.
I agree with your thought on this,
The scriptures tells us that God does not try people with evil things. When we face obstacles or persecutions we shouldnot think it is God that is testing us.
