"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels." (Revelation 3:5 NKJV)
And if you do not overcome - your name will be blotted out of the Book Of Life and He will say "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" (Matthew 7:23b NKJV)
Do not think for a moment that you can live like the world, hold onto fear, anger, bitterness, unforgiveness and unbelief and hold onto the salvation your religion promises. You who do not fear God, nor obey His Word, He will "cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’"(Matthew 25:30 NKJV)
We are at a time, like has never been, and God is trying to get our attention! Eternity is at stake and He will use any means to bring His back to Him!
Catastrophes, mass shootings, cancers, divorce; He is tearing down high places and at the center of your storm you will find your idol! He wants you and all of you. Not just the little bit with which you are willing to part! You who choose to ignore Him and justify your hardness of heart instead of repenting and turning to Him, will face an eternity of separation from Him.
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."(Matthew 10:28 NKJV)
His mercy and grace abound but He is a just God. (Luke 10:12-15) He will send His Son back for His Bride who is worthy of His sacrifice; one who has been made holy, without spot or blemish; one who has overcome; one who remembers her first love! His bride will reflect Him! She will willing lay down her will for His and be willing to sacrifice herself as He did! She will have taken up her cross and died to self as commanded. She will have endured and not compromised!
We have been lied to; all of our striving for worldly gain is for naught! Our lives are not about how much we acquire, or how happy we are, or how successful we are in business! It is not about us or self!
I recently read that the devil places a banquet table at the base of the mountain to keep you from climbing the mountain! He knows that going up that mountain is where you will be tried and perfected so he distracts you and makes you think that the banquet is from God. It's what we want to think! Our flesh does not want to go up that mountain because it knows it will hurt! Dying to the flesh; Humbling yourself is painful but it is imperative if we are to overcome! We have been misled by the devil twisting the scriptures into thinking that Jesus did it all for us and we can live like we wish, that we can add nothing. Truth: we must give up we and we have to live and be a servant as Jesus did! He changes us while we submit! The world and its appeal fades and His glory becomes our only desire! The more we submit, we become singleminded and He becomes our principal purpose, our everything! That is when we discover joy unspeakable, which is so much better than "being happy!" That is when we find rest for He is our Sabbath rest; that is not a day of the week it is a way of life!
Our world is only going to get worse! These are the last days as foretold and we have been given instructions on how to overcome. He will see His through and our "way of escape" that "He will provide" is IN HIM! We were created for His glory and our purpose is in Him!
