Dear friends
We live in perilous times and these are the symptoms of the last days.
2 Timothy 3
1 But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. 2 For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, 3 [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them
Sometimes my dear friends in these end times it is so unexpected the challenges, persecution and injustice. The source from which it comes too is actually quite shocking and devastating.
But bear up friends God will help you in these times. God will never leave you nor forsake you.
He is our very present help in trouble. I know for a certainty God will turn everything that the enemy meant for bad, into something beautiful.
He will definitely use ALL we walk through for our good and his glory. Let us trust God even in the midst of adversity.
Let us be reminded of the following all we face on this earth is transient and temporary. It will not last forever.
Don't give up. I tell you my friends - there is a paradigm shifting going on
You may feel like giving up the most right now, but your breakthrough is on the horizon, it is right around the corner!
Stand on what God said. Bear up, "chin" up.
God has sent your answer.
He IS faithful!
Galatians 6:9
Let us not grow weary or
become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in
May this poem encourage you today:
Footprints in the sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
‘You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?’
The Lord replied,
‘The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.’
-Mary Stevenson
I pray supernatural grace and strength for you and that God would stir new Hope and Faith in you.
Move forward....take those steps of faith with God's help
And
Walk good in Christ
Nuff love and blessings
Pastor J
