Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
Endurance
Brothers and Sisters we must Endure until we go home to meet Our Savior, Our Lord face to face, nothing else is acceptable to Jesus. Whatever hardships that we face, whatever pain we have, however many enemies we may have, we Must Endure Until The End of Our Lives, never turning back again.
Matthew 24:13 KJV
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
So then, Understand this, it is Not the Hardships, it is Not the Pain, it is Not our Enemies that Endurance must be conquered, but it is Doing The Will Of The Father in our circumstances. We all can come up with a thousand excuses to the Why, but, The Word Of God will stand none the less.
The ONLY way for us, the Born Again, Blood Bought, can do this, is by pressing forward in Our Relationship With Jesus. It is Our Choice in this Relationship and there are Keys in building Our Relationship With Jesus.
Mark 12:30 KJV
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment."
Mark 12:31 KJV
“And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
John 14:15 KJV
“If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 14:21 KJV
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."
These are the Requirements to enter into Heaven, to be Saved from Eternal Destructions, it is not merely to say that You have Confessed that Jesus is Savior and Lord, but it is the True Confession that brings forth Works Of The Fathers Will to be Manifested in us and to The World. But to get here can be many things that we must endure holding fast to The Word and Relying upon The Holy Spirit to Teach and Guide us into the Perfect Will Of The Father.
Some of you will face very little and there are others who will face Life and Death situations, but we must all Endure Equally, that is, the Manifestation Of God In Us.
We can look back through the entire Bible finding many, many examples of those who have had to Endure something of the Flesh to gain The Fathers Will. The times that we now live in seem to be a hardship for us who are Born Again, Blood Bought, but what is coming is much more evil. If we do not have the Correct Relationship With Jesus, we will not be able to Endure what is coming. Now things are more Tolerable, more Vocal, but the time is coming that across the World our very lives will be sentenced to Death In This World.
The story of the Ten Virgins can be summed up in this manor, Five Endured, were Faithful To Jesus, Living The Word in their Lives, five Choose Not to Endure, Not to be Faithful To Jesus, Not to Live The Word but the Worlds Standards.
Matthew 25:1-10 KJV
"1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish. 3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."
There was a question one time in a Sunday School setting that the Pastor asked that if someone told you that if you Confess Jesus as Your Savior and Lord they would kill you, how many of you would Confess Jesus? In the class room setting there were about twenty people, mixed ages from teenager to the old, I immediately shot my hand up, no one else did. Immediately I was cast into confusion to what was just displayed. Throughout the rest of the day I sot The Lord for answer, the answer was the Difference In Believing Jesus AS Savior and Lord. I was fully committed To Jesus there were No Questions of Who Jesus Was, I Truly Gave My Life To Him IN, Life or Death. The rest of the class had not done so, yes they had Confessed Jesus as Lord their Savior, but it was a Mindful Thing not a Heart Thing. As it has been said throughout the years, the distance between Heaven and Hell is about 18 Inches, that is, from the Head to the Heart. There are many that have Head Knowledge and Not a Relationship with Jesus.
Endurance will be a Trial Of Faith. It will be Weighed, Examined of its Purity, just as we will be in Our Faith. If we Walk With Jesus, Obeying His Commandments, then no matter what we face, no matter our situation The Word Will Stand Strong IN Any Event, nothing can Defeat, Overcome The Word not matter what The Word Faces!!!
Psalm 12:6 KJV
“The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times."
Psalm 66:10 KJV
“For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried."
James 1:12 KJV
“Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."
1 Peter 1:7 KJV
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"
But there are those who try to Mix The World with The Word, trying to Manipulate The Word to fit The Worlds Standards and it CANNOT be Mixed, it CANNOT Endure to the end.
Daniel 2:43 KJV
“And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay."
We find the following Scriptures and most would say without thought “but of course”…
John 12:24-26 KJV
"24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour."
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
"1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Like the first set of Keys, these Walk side by side. We must Seek Jesus, to Know Jesus to have Him Become Lord, a Relationship, In order for this transformation to happen we Must Be Rebuilt from the inside out. The only way for this to happen is for Us to Die to Our Desires and be Transformed By The Word into The Fathers Will, Obeying Jesus Commandments. This ALLOWS US TO ENDURE whatever we face. This does not mean that whatever we face becomes easier, because it does not, but what this does is KEEPS US IN THE FATHERS WILL. Life or Death should not matter if we are Transformed To Endure this World. Jesus said “I have Overcome The World!”
John 16:33 KJV
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
To Endure, we must be in a position as an Overcomer In Jesus, that no matter if we Live or Die, Win or Lose, we are Victorious In Jesus TO Endure!!! If we do not Follow, do not Walk, do not Live by God’s Holy Word, which is Unchangeable, we will not Endure Life, but will succumb to its demands. In this, what makes a big difference, is What Bible are you reading? If God’s Word never changes, then why read a Bible that has changed the original meaning? There are many Bibles that are in the market, but not all are God’s Word, they have been Transformed to satisfy the Flesh and even The World.
If The Word says Wives submit to your Husbands as you would to Jesus, that means Obey Your Husbands in All Things, then why do you fight it on every side? The Word Of God has not changed, but Translations have, to accommodate Society. Why does this make a difference? It makes a Difference for you to be able to Endure, to Walk In God’s Word, HIS WORD, then Endurance is possible in every circumstance.
Endurance comes down to this, The Word, The Spirit and Your Choice. Think on these things.
Hebrews 13:8 KJV
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
Amen and Amen!!!
