Therefore,
since we are surrounded
By
such a great cloud of witnesses,
Let
us throw off everything that hinders and the SIN that so easily
entangles,
And
let us run with PERSEVERANCE the RACE marked out for us.
Let
us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our Faith,
Who
for the Joy Set before Him endured the Cross,
Scorning
its shame,
And
sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God.
Consider
Him who endured such opposition from sinful men,
So
that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
In
your struggle against SIN,
You
have no yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
And
you have forgotten that word of encouragement
That
addressees you as sons [daughters]:
'My
son [daughter], do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
And
do not lose heart when He rebukes you,
Because
the Lord disciplines those He loves,
And
He punishes everyone He accepts as a son [daughter].'
Endure
HARDSHIP as discipline; God is treating you as sons [daughters].
For
what son [daughter] is
not disciplined by his father?
If
you are not disciplined (and EVERYONE undergoes discipline),
Then
you are illegitimate children and not true sons [daughters].
Moreover,
we have all had human fathers who disciplined us
And
we respected them for it.
How
much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits
And
LIVE!
Our
fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best;
But
God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in His Holiness.
No
discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.
Later
on, however, it produces a harvest of Righteousness and PEACE
For
those who have been trained by it.
Therefore,
strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.
'Make
level paths for your feet,'
So
that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
Make
every effort to live in PEACE with all men and to be holy;
Without
holiness no one will see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:1-14)
What
enabled Christ Jesus to endure the Cross and scorn its shame?
It
was you and me, and all those who would believe;
Who
would enter into Covenant with Him;
Who
would consider EVERYTHING a loss
Compared
to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord,
For
Whose sake we give up ALL things
And
consider them rubbish,
That
we may gain Christ and be found IN Him,
Not
having a righteousness of our own that comes from the Law,
But
that which is through Faith in Christ--
The
Righteousness that comes from God and is by Faith.
We
want to know Christ and the Power of His Resurrection
And
the Fellowship of sharing in His sufferings,
Becoming
like Him in His death,
And
so, somehow, to attain to the Resurrection from the DEAD.
(Philippians
3:8-11)
Christ
Jesus is the JOY set before us;
We FIX our eyes on Jesus the Author
and Perfecter of our Faith;
His magnificent PROMISES are ever
before us.
We
understand that we have our own CROSS to bear in order to
follow Him
As
has been true of the saints in every generation.
We
live in America, a sinful and debauched Society, ruled by Satan.
A
Society that hates Christ Jesus and ALL who follow Him
Because
our mere existence tells them that what they do is EVIL,
Just
as Christ Jesus and His Word tells them that what they do is EVIL.
Make
no mistake, The Secular Humanists want to stamp out Christianity.
They
understand that there is no possible RECONCILIATION
Between
themselves and those who follow Christ.
The
spirit of Satan that rules them make this clear to them.
Just
as the Spirit of Christ in us tells us
That
there is no RECONCILIATION with them and their wickedness.
This
is the Last Hour of “Time.”
Satan
is manipulating the entire world to the point
Where
he can present to them his son, the Beast, the Antichrist.
And
they will receive his “mark” and worship him, as Scripture has
foretold.
And
they will proceed to kill all who will not receive the “mark” of
the Beast.
I
pray that for those who read this message,
Christ
Jesus is the JOY set before you.
If
he is, He will empower you to stand in whatever may come your way.
We
can do and endure all things through Christ who strengthens us.
(Philippians
4:13)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
