To Another Voice,
What a timely mess...30 May 2010<br /><br />To Another Voice,<br /><br />What a timely message! The battles are definitely intensifying, and the Devil is surely working overtime these days. <br /><br />Jesus told His disciples that, "ye shall be hated of all men for My Name's sake..." Mark 13:13a, and I have to admit it is so much harder to endure when the persecution and rejection comes from our children, parents, or other family members.<br /><br />But no matter who has chosen to stand against us, even if they profess to be Christians, we need to realize it is a "spiritual" battle, and we must try not to take it too personally. I know that is easier said than done, and when/if we give into our "flesh" we will fail, but by God's Spirit we WILL win the Victory! Praise God.<br /><br />May my dear brothers and sisters in the LORD, who are striving to love and serve God in Spirit and in Truth, be encouraged by this word from our beloved brother Paul. And I pray that all of us will be among those who "endure unto the End." Amen!<br /><br />2 Timothy 4:1-8 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom;<br /><br />Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.<br /><br />For the Time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;<br /><br />And they shall turn away their ears from the Truth, and shall be turned unto fables.<br /><br />But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.<br /><br />For I Am now ready to be offered, and the Time of my departure is at hand.<br /><br />I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:<br /><br />Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the LORD, the Righteous Judge, shall give me at that Day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing."<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />C.
