Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

FAITH TESTED, PRODUCES ENDURANCE

Learning the Material

LISTEN

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

—James 1:3–4

There are two varieties of trials and troubles that can come into the life of the believer: those we bring upon ourselves and those that come through no fault of our own.

Sometimes we walk into trials and problems of our own making. They are the direct result of our own selfishness, pride, greed, or lust. We create our own problems. James wrote,

“When you are being tempted, do not say, ‘God is tempting me.’ God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away” (James 1:13–14).
Many times when we break God’s commandments and reap the results of our own sin, we get angry at the Lord. We want to know why He is doing this to us. Meanwhile God is saying, “Listen, friend, you are just reaping what you’ve sown. You brought this on yourself.”

Then there are the trials that come through no fault of our own. Suddenly the bottom drops out of life. Without warning, one problem on top of another comes tumbling into your world. One of the first things we ask when trials come our way is, “Why, Lord? Why are You allowing this to happen to me? What have I done to deserve such a fate?”

What is the purpose of trials? James 1:3–4 tells us:

“For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
It’s important for us to know that God has lessons He wants us to learn in times of trial. Many times it is simply to see whether we have learned the material.
