I
have strength for all things in Christ Who Empowers me--
I
am ready for anything and equal to anything
Through
Him Who infuses inner strength in to me,
[That
is, I am self sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
(Philippians
4:13, AMP)
Therefore,
my brethren, who I love and yearn to see,
My
delight and crown (wreath of victory),
Thus
STAND FIRM in the Lord, my beloved.
I
entreat and advise Euodia and I entreat and advise Syntyche
To
agree and to work in harmony in the Lord.
And
I exhort you too, [my] genuine yokefellow,
Help
these [two women to keep on co-operating],
for
they have toiled along with me
In
[the spreading of] the good news (the Gospel),
As
have Clement and the rest of my fellow workers
Whose
names are in THE BOOK OF LIFE.
Rejoice!
In the Lord always—delight, gladden yourselves in Him;
Again
I say Rejoice! [Ps. 37:4.]
Let
all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness--
Your
considerateness, your forbearing spirit.
THE
LORD IS NEAR—HE IS COMING SOON.
Do
not fret or have any anxiety about anything,
But
in every circumstance and in everything
By
prayer and petition [definite requests] with thanksgiving
Continue
to make your wants known to God.
And
God's Peace [be yours,
That
tranquil state of a soul assured of its Salvation through Christ,
And
so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot
Of
whatever sort that is, that Peace]
Which
Transcends all understanding,
Shall
garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
For
the rest, brethren, what ever is True,
Whatever
is Worthy of Reverence and is Honorable ans seemly,
Whatever
is Lovely and Lovable,
Whatever
is Kind and Winsome and Gracious,
If
there is any thing worthy of Praise,
Think
on and weigh and take account of these things--
Fix
your minds on them.
Practice
what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me,
And
model your way of living on it,
And
the God of Peace—
Of
untroubled, undisturbed well-being--Will be with you.
I
was made very happy in the Lord
That
now you have revived your interest in my welfare
After
so long a time; you were indeed thing of me,
But
you had no opportunity to show it.
Not
that I am implying that I was in any personal want,
For
I have learned how to be content
(Satisfied
to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted)
In
what ever state I am.
I k
now how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances,
and
I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance.
I
have learned in any and all circumstances,
the
Secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry,
Having
a sufficiency to spare or going without and being in want.
I
have strength for all things in Christ Who Empowers me--
I
am ready for anything and equal to anything
Through
Him Who infuses inner strength in to me,
[That
is, I am self sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
(Philippians
4:1-13, AMP)
Christ
Jesus warned us all:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
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!
