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!

TRIALS, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH

Greg Laurie - Tuesday, March 6, 2018

An Opportunity for Growth


Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

—James 1:12

Have you ever had one of those times when you were walking with Lord, trying to do all the things that should encourage you in your Christian faith, and out of nowhere, you’re being hit with heavy-duty temptations? 

In fact, it often happens at the worst conceivable times, such as when you’re praying or you’re in church. You wonder why it’s happening to you.

Without a doubt, none of us enjoy being tempted, but there are some valuable lessons that come through those times that God allows in our lives.

Someone has said that Christians are a lot like tea bags; you don’t know what they’re made of until you put them into hot water. Sometimes we think we’re doing pretty well spiritually. 

Then the Lord puts us in some hot water. He lets us go through a time of trial and temptation in our lives. It helps to strengthen us spiritually.

James wrote, 
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials” (James 1:2). 

He was not saying that we necessarily should be experiencing an all-encompassing emotion of joy or happiness in our times of hardship. 

Nor was he demanding that his readers enjoy the trials of life. James was not saying that trials are joy. They are not. In fact, Hebrews 12:11 says, 

“No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful!” (nlt).
James was saying, “Consider it joy. Make a deliberate choice to experience joy in your troubles.” 

Why? 

They are accomplishing something in your life. It may hurt now, but what will come as a result will be so much better. You will be able to look back and say, “It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it.”

In the Christian life, God will allow trials. Count it joy and rejoice.

What you're going through may hurt now, but here's one reason to rejoice.
