NOT EVERYONE HAS FAITH

But we ought always to thank God for you,

Brothers loved by the Lord,

GOD CHOSE YOU TO BE SAVED

Through the Sanctifying Work of the Spirit

And through the belief in the TRUTH.

He called you to this through our Gospel,

that you might share in the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, Brothers, STAND FIRM

And hold to the Teachings we passed on to you,

Whether by word of mouth or by letter.

May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father,

Who loved us and by His Grace

GAVE US ETERNAL ENCOURAGEMENT and good Hope,

Encourage your hearts and strengthen you

In every good deed and word.

Finally, Brothers, Pray for us

That the Message of the Lord may spread rapidly

And be Honored, just as it was with you.

And Pray that we may be Delivered from Wicked and Evil men,

FOR NOT EVERYONE HAS FAITH.

But the Lord is Faithful,

And He will Strengthen and Protect you from the Evil One.

We have confidence in the Lord

That you are doing and will continue to do the things we Command.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love

AND CHRIST'S PERSEVERANCE.

(2 Thessalonians 2:13, 3:1-5)

From these few passages we learn some very important realities.

God has Chosen Us To Be Saved.

We did not choose Him--He chose us.

Christ Jesus said:

'You did not Choose Me, but I Chose you to go and bear Fruit--

Fruit that will last. (John 15:16)

And this Choosing being done by the Sanctifying Work of the Spirit,

Causing us to Believe the TRUTH--

The only TRUTH that exists in this Wicked World.

Then the apostle Paul exhorts the Believers

To STAND FIRM

In the Teachings that they had been given.

In our state of being IN CHRIST,

He gives us ETERNAL ENCOURAGEMENT and good Hope;

Impressing this upon our hearts

And Strengthening us with this Reality

And moving us to Good Deeds and Words.

We Pray that the Message of Salvation might Spread Rapidly

To all those Appointed to Salvation.

We Pray that we may be Delivered from Wicked and Evil men,

Like the Democrats and all the godless ones currently Ruling America;

Those inside and outside the Church.

FOR NOT EVERYONE HAS FAITH;

Only a Few find the Narrow Gate that leads to LIFE. (Matthew 7:13)

And we must discern who does and who DOES NOT

And we can know this by their FRUIT. (Matthew 7:16)

The most Difficult are those who MASQUERADE as angels of light,

As does Satan and his followers, which is Everyone

Whose name is not Written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE.

(2 Corinthians 11:14)

Nevertheless, if we are Obedient to the Lord and His Word,

He is Faithful, and will Strengthen and Protect us from the Evil One.

The One who Rules this Wicked World. (1 John 5:19)

And we must understand that the World HATES Christ Jesus

Because He tells the World that what they do is EVIL! (John 7:7)

PERSEVERANCE is a Key to Overcoming this Wicked World,

Just as Christ Jesus Persevered and Overcame the World:

'In this World you will have TROUBLE.

But take heart! I have Overcome the World.' (John 16:33)

They Overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb

And the Word of their Testimony;

They did not love their lives so much as to Shrink from Death.

(Revelation 12:11)

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!
