As We hold to The Promises of God.......

1LoverofGod

Well-known
This is an exhortation in love for my beloved family in Christ in hopes that it serves as comfort and encouragement not in what I think but in what God says in His Trustworthy Word from where we have received Hope in Christ Jesus for all who believes on Him.


We need to pray for every believer, and for the unsaved like never before. Even for those who have silent prayer needs.
We don't always know what others are going through and satan attacks by different means because he knows what works to discourage or cause us to weaken and that's how he works using tactics to weaken us to lose our faith and trust in God.
This is why we need to draw ever closer to God and keep encouraging one another as one body in Christ.
The Day of the Lord is near and Jesus coming for His Bride is our Blessed Hope.
We can watch what's happening around us, but all the more we need to draw ever closer to God, and as The Body of Christ be pillars of encouragement and comfort to one another.

The closer to our redemption the more satan will attack those who are Jesus Sheep.
We are told to watch the wiles of the devil and resist him that he may flee and keeping our Trust in God helps us to do this.

it's likely it's going to get much rougher as our redemption draws near. We can watch the world events as prophecy fortold would happen, but as we see these things, we need to keep encouraging each other with God's Promises, because Only God can comfort us, Because He is Our God, Who is Faithful, and Loves us.
We need to keep praying for one another fervently because we don't always know what our beloved brothers and sisters in Christ may be going through.

I think of what scripture says
Jesus telling us
"In this world you Will have tribulation but be of good cheer because I have overcome the world".

Then I think of Harpazo for our being caught away, but in the Greek it means a Snatching away, as if from danger".
This is from the Strongs Lexicon translation from Greek to English.
This meaning may reflect on believers probably going through some extreme trials to the point that we have to be Snatched away quickly to save us from impending danger.

I do believe in the imminency of Jesus coming for us.
I know we are not going to be under God's wrath during the Tribulation.
But there's no scripture that tells us any believer is exempt from going through trials and suffering, in some form.
We Are promised that God Will Help us in time of Trouble.
The closer we get to the beginning of the Tribulation we should expect for Christians to experience some increasing difficulties, some may be distressing, in these perilous times as spoken of in Scripture about the last days.
It's not about having fear.
God has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of hope, love and a sound mind.
This is about keeping in up building and encouraging one another as The Day draws near.


As we see so much from just what is going on around us, more than ever we need our focus on God to keep trusting Him and looking to Him alone as our Help.

We need to pray for each other as a Body because some don't openly share their grievances or troubles, and is why everyone needs to be constantly encouraged by The Word of God, because our God of the three Omni's is Faithful, and He is our Only means of True Help, as the world continues to go from bad to worse. No doubt at some point we may all feel the impact, so we can't get overly confident that this world is going to get any better, because God's Word says different as we move closer to the Day of The Lord.

Remember the birth pains Jesus spoke of, and He said that the end is not yet. We have seen them playing out and some believers have been impacted by some of these birth pains around the world.
We may All be impacted in some way by any of those birth pains mentioned as signs of Jesus coming, not to mention impacts by our own personal afflictions or by opposition from our closest loved ones over who we are in Christ.

Every believer is susceptible to any trials in some form and some may come unexpectedly and some like a firey trial as scripture tells us.
So we Need God to lean on and rely on as our Strength.
And we need one another for comfort and encouragement by continually building up one another through The Word of God, just as Jesus said The Holy Spirit would remind us of His teachings.
Even with whatever may come in this world, we keep enduring and trusting God to be our ever present Help in time of trouble.
We keep in mind God has the Best coming for all of us, and we must remain keeping our Trust in Him above All things.
The Word of God helps keep our focus on God, as scripture tells us that faith comes from hearing, hearing The Word of God.
God's Faithfulness is our Assurance in a way that none of us can really give.
But we can use The Word of God to encourage and comfort one another through God's Faithful Words that have given us our Hope in Christ Jesus our Redeemer in Whom we have our faith. God Never fails. He is True to His Word, like
Only Our Most High God Almighty Can and Does!
 
No matter what this world may bring while we live out our present earthly life, let us include God in every aspect of our lives, and remember to thank Him and Praise Him even for the smallest blessings that sometimes we might take for granted.
The air we breathe, the Sun going up and down as God Created it for our benefit and many more blessings that God gives us in His Faithfulness.
God is moved to bless more in abundance for those who are faithful to Him.
God is Good. He Always Provides and is Always timely in answering our prayers.

17 pray without ceasing,
18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning"
James 1:17
