Tried In The Fire

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The Application Of Jesus's Words

Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Your Future

We all ponder and wonder what our future holds. Not only in the days to come here on earth, but also for eternity. Actually it's a biggy! Eternity!

One things for certain. Through Christ our future is secure regarding eternity. However, even while here on earth, through Christ our future is also secure.

His mercies are new every morning and His love endures forever. He cares for each of us, loves us unconditionally and when we submit to His plans and purposes for our lives, we remain in the palm of His hands.

What a friend we have in Jesus.

God shed His Grace On Thee

May the church rise up and speak boldly against those that would attempt to silence prayer in this nation. May the church rise up against those that would seek to cast God aside and out of this nations future.

Rise up in prayer, as prayer warriors and intercessors and pray the prayers that David prayed. For in prayer there is more accomplished than in arguing and debating. Prayer moves God to bring change and silence those that would oppose His ways.

Finding Victory In The Midst Of Hardships

Ok, so maybe things are just not perfect. Maybe some plans, hopes and dreams have been derailed. It does happen and sometimes the seasons just seem to come with storms.

Let me encourage you to press through the storms. Now that might sound like a lot to ask, however one things is certain. Once the storm clears, the sun shines. Therefore, persevere in God.
