A place to share truth, encouragement, inspiration, and life lessons.
James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
2 Timothy 2:3“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Yashaya Christ.”
It is a requirement not an option. Did you want to make it past this crumbling life? If you love Him........ Do you know about Love?
Consider what has been endured for you!
Hebrews 12:3“For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”
2 Timothy 4:5“But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
When we endure the hardships that life brings and that The Most High uses to wear us down and then strengthen us;there are blessings that will follow. Even waiting on the relief or reward for enduring is at times a strengthening of your endurance capabilities. Any mother who has endured pregnancy; the waiting,anticipation, discomfort at the end as your body prepares for delivery; labor, and child rearing has a good understanding of endurance. There have been many days in my life where it was only the love I carried in my heart for my child that carried me through. It's love like that that The Most High wants us to have in our hearts for him and that he uses to show us the power of His love for his children. There is a love that once you have it in your heart it becomes unshakable and your devotion is unquestionable. (1 Cor 15:58) That is not to say that it won't be tested, but that even when tried it cannot be shaken. Do you have that kind of love and devotion planted in your heart? If not, why? The Father has promised in his word that those who love him, keep His commandments, and seek him early shall receive the promises contained in his manuscript. (Proverbs 8:17-21, John 14:15,Zephaniah 2:3) If you feel like you are not walking in the fullness of His power and protection, you need to ask what it is that you are doing incorrectly. After all you must remember that you were born into a fallen world full of deceit and corruption. So even when you are walking uprightly and following instruction, Know that there is always more revelation knowledge to be had. Until we have received that incorruptible, unshakeable, kingdom that is coming, There IS more to learn. (Heb 12:27-28) When you are willing to look into your mindsets, views, beliefs, and opinions and question why do I believe or think this? Then you will be on the path to unlocking new revelation and freedom. The Most High has so much to teach his children. We must endure the daily struggle and afflictions in order to gain this knowledge and freedom. With Christ you can do it!!! (Phill 4:13) All things are possible for those who believe! (Mark 9:23) Be encouraged and know when you are weak He is strong.(2 Cor 12:9-11) Lean on Him, rest in Him, Focus on Him!!
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
