Believers in GOD through JESUS CHRIST should expect trials and tribulations. Focus on HIM

Love the LORD with all your heart and love your neighbor. Keep hold on these commandments as you go through your days in this world.

TO ALL,

Love to all people in the holy precious name of Jesus Christ who lives and reigns amoung us!! AMEN!

As our Lord and Saviour suffered for us, we should expect some kind of suffering from following HIS eternal love.

This is the love that breaks the yoke of evil This is the love that sends demons off of people to attack us, but we are covered by the blood. This is the love that unifies people after their differences. This is the love that never stops loving no matter what anyone says. This is the love that forgives, stays honest, stays humble, stays steadfast, stays honest, stays peaceful, stays mericiful, stays gracious, and more.......the love of Jesus Christ.

As we wait on HIM, may we remember that we believers are to show to the world the example of this love that changed our lives.

This love is the light of the world. This love is the light of our lives. This love is what guides us down the path of righteousness. This love is Jesus Christ.

Please pray the LORD's PRAYER and please read:

1 PETER 4:12-19

12 My dear friends, do not be taken aback at the testing by fire which is taking place among you, as though something strange were happening to you;

13 but in so far as you share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, so that you may enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed.

14 If you are insulted for bearing Christ's name, blessed are you, for on you rests the Spirit of God, the Spirit of glory.

15 None of you should ever deserve to suffer for being a murderer, a thief, a criminal or an informer;

16 but if any one of you should suffer for being a Christian, then there must be no shame but thanksgiving to God for bearing this name.

17 The time has come for the judgement to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end for those who refuse to believe God's gospel?

18 If it is hard for the upright to be saved, what will happen to the wicked and to sinners?

19 So even those whom God allows to suffer should commit themselves to a Creator who is trustworthy, and go on doing good.

GOD BLESS US ALL,

Romans 8:17: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Romans 8:18: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

The Word - which is Christ Jesus - clearly explains that as a condition of suffering with Him, we shall be joint-heirs with Christ. The greek is a conditional - if so be - without which no believer will inherit the joint-heirs with Christ. But God be glorified, for all believers will inherit the blessings of God and His heavenly kingdom in the principalities, power, dominions, and rulers which are His realm in the heavenly places, currently polluted by Satan's devils in these principalities, power, dominions, and rulers.

That is why our Apostle Paul said our fight is not against flesh:

Ephesians 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

John 12:44-50 ©
Jesus declared publicly:
‘Whoever believes in me
believes not in me
but in the one who sent me,
and whoever sees me,
sees the one who sent me.
I, the light, have come into the world,
so that whoever believes in me
need not stay in the dark any more.
If anyone hears my words and does not keep them faithfully,
it is not I who shall condemn him,
since I have come not to condemn the world,
but to save the world.
He who rejects me and refuses my words has his judge already:
the word itself that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.
For what I have spoken does not come from myself;
no, what I was to say,
what I had to speak,
was commanded by the Father who sent me,
and I know that his commands mean eternal life.
And therefore what the Father has told me
is what I speak.’
