STANDING FIRM TO THE END

Because of the increase of Wickedness,

The love of Most will grow cold

BUT HE WHO STANDS FIRM TO THE END WILL BE SAVED.

(Matthew 24:12, 13)

Who comprises the Church today?

Those who will Stand Firm to the End.

This is what comprised the Church in every generation;

Those who Stood Firm in FAITH to the End of their lives;

Who allowed Christ to live in and through them;

Who regarded the Wicked Culture around them as Counting for NOTHING;

But Stood instead for Christ Jesus and His Word.

None of us can Save anyone but ourselves--

And it is not us but the Spirit of Christ in us Who does the Saving

Nevertheless, it is we who must Fix our Eyes Upon Jesus

The Author and Finisher of our FAITH [Hebrews 12:2]--to the End.

No one comes to FAITH but that the Father draws them [John 6:44].

It is those who RESPOND to the Drawing of the Father who come to FAITH.

Those in whom the SEED of FAITH takes Root [Matthew 13:1-23].

We did not choose Christ, Christ chose us:

You did not choose Me, but I chose YOU to go and bear Fruit--

Fruit that will Last. (John 15:16)

I AM the Vine; YOU are the Branches,

If a man [or woman] REMAINS IN ME and I IN HIM,

He will bear MUCH FRUIT;

Apart from Me YOU can do NOTHING.

If ANYONE does not REMAIN IN ME,

He is like a Branch that is thrown away and withers;

Such Branches are picked up, thrown into the Fire and BURNED.

(John 15:5, 6)

As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved YOU.

NOW REMAIN IN MY LOVE.

IF YOU Obey My Commands, YOU will REMAIN IN MY LOVE,

Just as I have Obeyed My Father's Commands and Remain in His love.

(John 15:9, 10)

If the World HATES YOU,

Keep in mind that it HATED Me first.

If YOU belonged to the World, it would love you as its own

[And YOU would go to Hell with the World]

As it is, YOU do not belong to the World,

But I have CHOSEN YOU out of the World.

THAT IS WHY THE WORLD HATES YOU.

Remember the words I spoke to YOU:

'No Servant is greater than his Master.'

If they PERSECUTED ME, they will PERSECUTE YOU also.

If they Obeyed My Teaching, they will Obey YOURS also.

They will treat you this way because of My Name,

For they do not KNOW the One Who sent Me.

If I had not come and spoken to them,

They would not be guilty of SIN.

Now, however, they have NO EXCUSE for their SIN.

He who HATES Me HATES My Father as well.

If I had not done among them WHAT NO ONE ELSE DID,

They would not be guilty of SIN.

But now they have seen these miracles,

And yet they have HATED both Me and My Father.

But this is to Fulfill WHAT IS WRITTEN in their Law:

'THEY HATED ME WITHOUT REASON.'

(John 15:18-25)

Now listen to the PROMISE from Christ Jesus

For those of us who are living at the End of TIME:

Since YOU have kept My Command to ENDURE PATIENTLY,

I will keep you from THE HOUR OF TRIAL

That is going to come upon the Whole World

TO TEST those who live on the earth.

I AM COMING SOON.

Hold on to what YOU have,

So that NO ONE will take YOUR Crown.

Him who OVERCOMES I will make a Pillar in the Temple of My God.

NEVER again will he leave it.

I will write on him the Name of My God

And the Name of the City of My God, the New Jerusalem,

Which is coming down out of Heaven from My God;

And I will also write on him My New Name.

He who has and Ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.

(Revelation 3:10-13)

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!
