End Times – Loneliness & Suicide:
The thought of suicide is very real in our very stressful world.
When someone feels like suicide, they think that his family, friends, and community and even the world is better off without them.
This world is very trying and difficult to live in.
Those who are thinking of suicide feelings;
helpless, hopeless, rejected, powerless, weak, defenseless, desperate, discouraged, miserable, depressed,
bleak, doomed, useless, abused, threatened, in peril, bullied, pressured, terrorized, frightened, hurt, coerced, scared, intimidated, tormented,
oppressed, harassed, distraught, worried, put down, upset, flustered, panic-stricken, frantic, panicky, uptight, restless, tense, troubled, used,
misused, lied to, triumphing over others, uncleanness, wicked imaginations, wrath, persecute, oppress, tyrannize, browbeat, harass, torment, intimidate,
strong-arm, dominate, bullying, spread rumors, spread gossip, tell tales, tattle falsely, and etc..
They feel like there is no one they can turn to in this life, or the world will be better off without them.
What are the
Tools of God
and what are the
Tools of Satan?
Satan wants to destroy us, and he will use every tool he can.
God wants the best for us and to be with Him.
So where do we seek for direction?
Most of us, do not want to be in a situation that makes us think of suicide.
Children, teens, young adults, adults, and the elderly, suffer real pain and
have terrible trials and hardships, which may lead to suicides for some.
The common feelings of hopelessness, loneliness, and helplessness, are the
reasons for these deaths.
When they feel like they are in these
situations, and that they have no known solutions for themselves.
Many feel they can see no way out of the problems, but death.
Many feels like they have no control of their life to change their own situations they are in.
These good people are trying to escape their feelings
of pain, rejection, being hurt, being unloved, victimization or losses.
They most likely feel that their feelings are unbearable and can never end, so
they feel that there is only one way out to escape.
They are afraid of
disappointing others or they feel like they are a burden to others.
Children, teens, young adults, and some adults, are being bullied, internet
bullying, abuse, harmful home life, loss of a loved one, or relationship breakup
are contributing causes of ending their lives.
There are uncountable reasons, which many feel they cause suicidal behaviors.
Many believe, that there is no point going on with life.
Many seek
out help, but end up in yelling and quarreling.
Over time, many are
afraid to seek out help, and remember how much fighting with families and
friends.
Then, they feel there is nowhere they can turn too.
There are thousands of different ways that, trials and
hardships can come to us all.
Some of those crying for help, have greater
needs, that needs everyone help.
When those who attempt to take their
lives, their pain is amplified, their medical problems are lacking the help, to
save them.
Almost 100% of those who attempt or commit suicide, not
because of their desire to die, but to escape their horrible situation.
Most that are in that situation, is not over a single or two events in their
lives, but a buildup of events.
By us, we can help
children, teens, young adults, adults, and elderly turn from a bad situation or
to handle their feelings to overcome their pain.
This requires help from
many, like family, relatives, friends, churches, school, medical professional,
and etc.
The greatest abuse, is bullying, intimidation, mistreatment,
oppression, harassment, victimization, hounding, persecuting, tormenting, making
threats, spreading rumors, whether real or not, being physically or verbally,
need to take notice, with all efforts to eliminate such activity.
Many
are bystanders, which ignore such abuse to others, are just as bad as those who
are bullying.
Many of these bystanders, become as
bad as the initial abuser’s or bullier’s.
Like the old story, absolute
power, corrupts absolutely.
The same for the bullier, when they are not
being identified or on the internet not being brought to legal authorities for
justice, corrupts absolutely, to cause someone to attempt or cause suicide.
In God’s eye, every soul is important to Him, and Satan is happy when any
soul is destroyed.
Many of the bullier, was once bullied at some time or
another.
Those with any kind of disabilities,
learning differences, sexual/gender identity differences or cultural
differences, are targets for being bullied.
Escape a situation seems to
be the only way they feel is the only way out.
Escaping rejection, guilt,
anger, or misery for the individual, needs all of our help, and not as a
bystander.
All of us what to fit in and to do our best, but there are
many pressures from life.
As more freedom, there
comes more responsibilities, many may not be able to handle it.
Everyone
has problems, but when you have no one to talk to, can cause extreme loneliness
in their lives.
When these people choose drugs and alcohol to hide their
problems with, find out it only get worst.
If, we could look into the
future, many of their trials and hardships, would change from a mountain to a
mole hill, in an instant.
We all have trials and
hardships, some more than others, but, we can find help in the scriptures.
Do not ever feel ashamed to turn to God for help, He is your best friend,
whether you know it or not.
By reading the scriptures, we can get to know
Him better, no matter what are trials and hardships may be.
From rape to
being beat up and lies told about us, He is there willing to help you.
Trust in Him, and by the power of the Holy Ghost will guide you.
We need to listen for the cries for help, but they do not
know how to get it.
No one really wants to die.
Many are ashamed
of their selves as a failure and despaired of their results of their lives.
Many need to be embraced and feel they are loved.
Heavenly Father and
Jesus Christ, has said, it is never too late to return to Him.
For the adults, thoughts of suicide physical, illness,
disabilities, pain, bereavement, financial, and family issues are the main
factors.
Do we seek the things of the world and those who are seeking the
things of the world which are the things which will lead us down the wrong paths
to despair?
Short term excitement leads to destruction and it is not
everlasting joy.
The world is that short term excitement which lead many
away from the knowledge of God.
It puts those who
follow after the ways of the world in darkness and misery.
We came to
this earth for a purpose.
That purpose is to find God and choose the
right ways per the scriptures.
Satan will try to get anyone who will not
seek God.
The wicked hate the righteous for the righteousness sake.
This world is a refiner’s fire and it is not an easy world to be in.
It takes more work to do good and it is easy to fall
into sin without good works.
The scriptures are the words of Jesus
Christ, which are important messages by God for man.
All of the
scriptures contents written over a century, by prophets and apostles of God.
They were personal witnesses of Jesus Christ, these good men who were
visited and tutored by angels and translated beings, their writings became the
scriptures that we have today.
Our tears of fear, drowns out our faith
and hope.
If we are faithful, all of our losses
will be brought back.
We many feel we do not have strength; strength is
not what we have, it is something that God will help us find.
Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ wants us to make friends to those in need.
We
need to show real God like love and to encourage them, that their life is
important, and God wants us to return home to Him.
We need to get words
of encouragement and kindness.
Satan wants us to
return home in shame.
Our trials seem to repeat over and over and at
times as endless.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of
the world, and not after Christ.
We are here on the earth to prepare to
meet God, our Heavenly Father.
All the data bases show that most people
who have considered suicide, really do not want to die.
In true reality, most want to get help for their physical, mental,
emotional, or spiritual suffering.
The suffering they are going through,
for they are looking to escape from.
Many of the righteous want to escape
from their trials.
Even when the trial is too hard to bare for them to go
through.
2 Corinthians 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant
of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure,
above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Even the good brethren of the scriptures had trials so great, even unto
despair of their life.
Numbers 11:14 I am not able to bear all this
people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Numbers 11:15 And if thou
deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in
thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and
sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die;
and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than
my fathers.
Jeremiah 20:14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not
the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:22 But if I live in
the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two,
having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Philippians 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
Many are living righteously, and then something happens in their life, and
the loose hope, and start to commit a spiritual death or spiritual suicide.
When we commit any form of sin, it is a spiritual suicide and death.
When we hurt or kill someone else, because of sin, we are in the hands of a
spiritual death.
To the righteous, when they
trusted in God, He will be your support in all your trials.
The wicked
must repent and come back to God who created you.
1 Peter 2:21 For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an
example, that ye should follow his steps:
That means we are here to gain
experiences and learn.
For in the preexistence or
the life before this earthly life, having a spirit only, we could not have the
types of earthly experiences we are having here.
Each of us have
different trials, because each of us have different talents.
As Jesus
Christ suffered, so must we.
When we desire to rejoice, our hearts
groaneth because of our sins.
Nevertheless, we know in whom we must
trust, that is Heavenly Father.
He has been your support from the time
you were born.
Repent and He will lead you
through all your afflictions, and He will preserve you through all your trials.
We are under trials and hardships and all manner of afflictions, of every
kind, and when we do the right things in life, we have the support of the Lord,
but when we do the wrong things in life, we have no support from the Lord.
While it is not right to take one’s life for any reason.
Most all of
us are not responsible for actions around us, but what is our personal actions
that is good or bad.
Again, we are here to gain experience from our
trials.
Heavenly Father knows and understand any
of our situations.
We do not know all the details of any surrounding
every suicide.
Heavenly Father knows all the details and will judge
accordingly.
Only God can judge our actions here on the earth and take
all consideration in each case.
Heavenly Father know our genetic,
chemical, mental, intellectual states.
He knows our environment and our
health.
Most suicides can be prevented.
There is no single reason, but they can be reduced when concerning family,
friends, church members, and professionals to help those who are thinking about
suicide.
We all need to learn the basic warning signs of suicide.
We need to reach out to anyone who is considering taking their life, need to be
pointed to the correct help and professional guidance.
Some suicides are
not always preventable.
What happens to a
four-year-old when we say, you cannot watch that cartoon, their world feels like
the end, but when bigger things happen to us which may or may not be in our
control, some think their world in coming to an end.
When in fact it is
not, but to them they think it is and out of their control.
They do not
like being in that position, so they want to commit suicide to get out of it.
What put us into that position?
Small sample;
I was looking out my window and saw a spider web, a large one, then one day
there was no spider, it was gone.
I watch that spider for a few days,
collecting small old brown leaves, one at a time, until the last leaf fell,
which broke the web and it was destroyed.
It was not the small dried up
leaf, but a large collection of small dried up leaves, that cause the down fall
of the web.
Leaves are like trials and hardships in life, some are very
small to some being very large, but individually the web could take it.
It does not matter which leaf or trial, that puts us
over the edge that causes suicide in someone’s life.
As parents and
church leaders, we need to teach our children and teens, and some adults, that
there is more to life.
Life is eternal.
We go from this life to
the next with all of our thoughts.
Things in the next life could be a
thousand times better or worst.
And when a
suicidal person takes their life, it is because they do not realize that life
goes on into the next.
They feel like they are going to escape the trials
here.
Some may think that they are getting even, by taking their lives,
this is not true, it is Satan, talking.
With all the deep pain and
anguish that Jesus Christ when through, He descended below all things.
Those that are left behind are heart broken, great
sorrow, feeling anguished, great pain, and emotional confusion, with many
unanswered questions for family and those that love them.
Only through
Jesus Christ can we find peace.
He has descended below them all.
Art thou greater than he?
He took upon himself, death and sin, and He
took also all of our infirmities.
He is filled with mercy for His people.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke
upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which
cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore
come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace
to help in time of need.
Jesus Christ came into the world that He may
save all men it they will harken unto His voice.
He suffered the pains of all men, women, and children, that would repent of
their sins.
He knows all of our infirmities and has gone below them all.
We are to find hope through the atonement of Jesus Christ and the power of
His resurrection, for us to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of our
faith in Him according to the promise.
Some have lost loved ones through
death, many have had health that is declining, and they may feel less and less
of living.
There are some the find themselves confined.
Many with infirmities that are severe and miss going to church,
stores, parks, outings, and fellowship.
Many feels discouraged and have
no value.
Many their minds become muddled.
The feel they want to
take their own lives would solve all of their problems.
The people left
behind might feel grief, anger, and guilt.
We do
not notice how depressed many are, so that they could have helped them and maybe
have prevented from happening.
Many will say how could this have ever
happened.
The anguish and uncertainty of those who committed suicide, by
those who are left behind, the experiences are extremely painful and difficult.
Many lives are affected by the loss of a loved one, maybe for many years to
the rest of their lives.
We feel that the person who is committing
suicide, is closing the door of salvation.
Life
is precious gift from God.
There are two types of suicides.
The
first is the voluntary and intentional taking of their own life, having the
accountable and they have a sound mind.
The second is when someone is
under great stress, many lose control and become mentally clouded to the pint of
no longer accountable for their acts.
The Lord know our trials.
We here are not to judge a person, for we do not know
their thoughts.
It is the judgment of the Lord, if they were truly
confused and not aware of what they did.
For the Lord knows all of our
thoughts, intents, and abilities.
Anyone that is fully rational and who
is contemplating suicide, must realize what a terribly selfish act this is and
what may be waiting on the other side.
Heavenly Father will administer
fair judgment on each person.
For He has all the facts and know the
intent of everyone.
The great plan of salvation
is for all be done in their proper order.
As Savior and according to His
power and resurrection, He will take the sins of the repentant upon Him.
We all will be judge by our works.
If our works were good in this earthly
life and the desires of us hears were good will come forth in the resurrection
of the just.
Judgment for our sins, are not always expected as we think.
There are gradations for sins.
Like some know
the law and break it.
And those who know not the law and break it.
There is a difference.
Jesus Christ recognizes differences in the
intent and the circumstances of each person.
Was the person who took
their life was mentally ill or not.
Were they
deeply depressed to be unbalanced or emotionally disturbed, do not recognize
their state.
We need to recognize the tragic call for help that went
unheeded too long for the victim intended.
Some are suffering from a
chemical imbalance that can lead to despair and a loss of self-control of their
will.
Even those who surround the suicide victim will be judge for not
listening for their call for help, which are not heeded to their cry’s.
When God judge us all, for He know our genetic and
chemical makeup, He knows our mental state, and our intellectual abilities.
He knows what knowledge we have received and the traditions of our parents,
and our health status and etc.
Those who are depressed, sad, miserable,
and are despondent for a long time, their mental state changes, and are in not
in their right mind.
But those who know what is right and wrong, will be
judge harshly.
Jesus Christ will judge all according to the deeds done in
the body whether they be good or evil.
Suicide is
a very grievous sin.
God will not judge a person who committed sin, based
on the circumstances and their accountability at the time they committed
suicide.
We need to do all we can to keep the commandments of God.
There is no excuse in ourselves in committing any sin.
We must flee
from all evil.
As we choose the right, we will
grow line upon line, in this world and as well as in the spiritual world.
Some suicide victims think they are doing family members or friends a favor.
Many have bad habits that they seem they cannot shake.
Many victims
experience harsh trials, mental stress, even been institutionalized, with
Doctors call a chemical imbalance, that could be corrected.
Many have
undiscovered disease of some sort or another and is being overlooked.
Some signs are, they had lost of someone deer or
companion, many do not accept any help freely.
Some will say they are
coping with the trials they have.
Some are bad health, is when they feel
the lowest and worst when taking heavy medications.
We all lack the
understanding in dealing with these kinds of trails.
I believe that
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will analysis each person separately and they
will judge the circumstance of each one.
I
believe that those who have committed suicide, that there is a place in heaven
for them, and I think that it is not a place of darkness and despair, but that
there will be a place of learning and comfort.
Those who committed a very
serious sin and will have to pay the consequences, but I believe there is still
hope for them on the other side.
God know the full answers to their
trials and know what is best for them.
There is hope, for the preaching
of the gospel of repentance and the redemption, can only be through the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who sit in darkness and under the bondage of sin in
the world of the spirits of the dead.
The power
of repentance is great may be redeemed by God.
After they have paid the
penalty of their transgressions and truly repented, and become white as snow,
shall receive and become heirs of salvation.
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard
it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but
they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Job 3:3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was
said, There is a man child conceived.
Even Job in
the Bible wished he was not born, because of all his trials and despairing.
Job 6:2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the
balances together!
Job had very seriously grieved about his trials and
afflictions, and was think about living or just dying.
Psalm 10:1 Why
standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Even King David, felt the Lord had abandoned him in his trials.
Psalm 13:1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever?
how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Psalm 13:2 How long shall I
take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine
enemy be exalted over me?
King David, had great thoughts in his mind
about all his trials and his enemy having great control.
Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far
from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
King David felt lost
and forsaken by the Lord, he needed help now and got none, even with all of his
crying unto God.
Psalm 32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he
that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about
King David had
sinned greatly and had many sorrows for them, but he trusted in the Lord, who
has mercy for the wicked the repents.
Psalm 69:19
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries
are all before thee.
King David, sinned and he knew that God knew, he
feels great shame, and his dishonour known by his enemies.
Psalm 69:20
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some
to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
King David, was criticized by his friends and it broke his heart.
He was
full of sorrow and shame.
He looked to his
friends for pity, compassion, kindness, understanding, and sympathy, but there
was none.
Psalm 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my
thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
His friends and family gave him
insolence and aggravation, instead of kindness and love.
Ecclesiastes
2:20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which
I took under the sun.
King Solomon, was in
despair and his heart was troubled.
Jeremiah 20:7 O Lord, thou hast
deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I
am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
Jeremiah was mocked,
ridiculed, shown disrespect, make fun of, and he felt he was deceived.
Many feel they have committed the most unpardonable and that there is no hope.
Our sins can cause us to have horrible pain in our minds.
Without repenting, justice will fall upon us, and a great doom that
will have eternal despair.
When our hearts are full of despair and we are
depressed, but when we repent, the Lord will comfort us.
When we commit
sins or others commit abuse to us, our minds are racked with torment and
anguish.
When we sink into despair and feel ourselves on a path of
destruction, this is caused by our sins and not repenting and forsaking them.
Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed
gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest
at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to
proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the
prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,
Luke 7:21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and
plagues…
Those who are thinking of ending their
life, do not have in their life Faith, Hope, Expectation, Trust, Healings,
Trials, Endurance, Seek the Light, Conversion to Jesus Christ, Overcome All
Things, etc.
Without hope, we feel lost, and that when we die, they feel
there is an end and that there is no eternity.
Among all our troubles and
hardships, there is hope, just have to endure the Lord said, and you will be
blessed.
Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath
gained, when God taketh away his soul?
Job 27:9
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Job 27:10 Will he
delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
The
righteous that has hope can endure the hardships and trouble times that come.
Psalm 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also
shall rest in hope.
Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not
leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption.
Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy
presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave
my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of
life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
We need to
increase in hope, that when we repent of many and great sins, that there is hope
in peace and joy in the next life.
Psalm 33:20 Our soul waiteth for the
Lord: he is our help and our shield.
Psalm 33:21 For our heart shall
rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Psalm 33:22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope
in thee.
If we feel we do not have hope, that there is a better life in
the next.
We know that there is no Satan or devils there.
Romans
7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held;
that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin?
God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust,
except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 7:8 But sin, taking
occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For
without the law sin was dead.
Romans 7:9 For I was alive without the law
once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Romans 7:10
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Romans 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the
commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Romans 7:12 Wherefore the
law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Romans 7:13
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it
might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the
commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Romans
7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I
not; but what I hate, that do I.
Romans 7:16 If then I do that which I
would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Romans 7:17 Now then
it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good
thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I
find not.
Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil
which I would not, that I do.
Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not,
it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:21 I
find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the
inward man:
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring
against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members.
Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?
Romans 7:25 I thank God through
Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but
with the flesh the law of sin.
Regarding, our
soul which delights in the things of the Lord; and our heart pondered
continually upon the things which we have seen and heard from the scriptures and
the Holy Ghost.
However, though the great goodness of the Lord, in
showing us His great and marvelous works, our hearts exclaimeth: O wretched man
that I am! Indeed, our hearts sorrowing because of our flesh; our soul grieves
because of our iniquities.
We are encompassed about, because of the
temptations and the sins which do so easily beset us.
So, when we desire to rejoice, our hearts cries because of our sins; still,
we know in whom we have trusted.
Our God hath been our support; He hath
led us through our afflictions of the world; and He hath preserved us from the
trials of sin.
He hath filled us with His love, even unto the consuming
of our flesh.
He hath confounded our enemies, unto the causing of them to
quake before us.
Behold, He hath heard our cry by day, and He hath given
us knowledge by visions in the night-time.
And by
day have we waxed bold in mighty prayer before Him; yea, our voices have we sent
up on high; and angels came down and ministered unto us.
And upon the
wings of His Spirit hath our bodies been carried away upon exceedingly high
mountains. And our eyes have beheld great things, indeed, even too great for
man.
O then, if we have seen so great things, if the Lord in His
condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy, why
should our hearts weep and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and our flesh
waste away, and our strength slacken, because of our afflictions?
And why should we yield to sin, because of our flesh?
Indeed, why should we give way to temptations, that the evil one has place in
our hearts to destroy our peace and afflict our souls? Why are we angry because
of our enemy?
Awake, our soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O our
hearts, and give place no more for the enemy of our sousl.
Do not anger
again because of our enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of our
afflictions.
Delight, O our heart, and cry unto
the Lord, and say: O Lord, we will praise thee forever; indeed, our soul will
rejoice in thee, our God, and the rock of our salvation.
O Lord, wilt
thou redeem our soul? Wilt thou deliver our out of the hands of our enemies?
Wilt thou make us that we may shake at the appearance of sin?
May the
gates of hell be shut continually before us, because that our hearts are broken
and our spirit is contrite! O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy
righteousness before us, that we may walk in the path of the low valley, that we
may be strict in the plain road!
O Lord, wilt
thou encircle us around in the robe of thy righteousness!
O Lord, wilt thou make
a way for our escape before our enemies!
Wilt thou make our path straight before
us!
Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in our way—but that thou wouldst clear
our way before us, and hedge not up our way, but the ways of our enemy.
O Lord, we have trusted in thee, and we will trust in thee forever.
We will not
put our trust in the arm of flesh; for we know that cursed is he that putteth
his trust in the arm of flesh.
Yes, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man
or maketh flesh his arm.
Yes, we know that God
will give liberally to him that asketh.
Yes, our God will give us, if we ask not
amiss; therefore, we will lift up our voice unto thee; yes, we will cry unto
thee, our God, the rock of our righteousness.
Behold, our voice shall forever
ascend up unto thee, our rock and our everlasting God.
Above all things,
have hope in the Lord.
Otherwise Satan will have control over you.
Psalm 38:15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
Psalm 38:16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they
should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against
me.
Psalm 38:17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually
before me.
Psalm 38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry
for my sin.
Psalm 38:19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong:
and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Psalm 38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I
follow the thing that good is.
Psalm 38:21 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my
God, be not far from me.
Psalm 38:22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my
salvation.
Our hope in the God, gives us our eternal life.
Psalm
42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.
Psalm 43:5 Why art thou
cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I
shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Our hope of the righteous shall be gladness in this life.
Proverbs 10:28
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked
shall perish.
Proverbs 10:29 The way of the Lord is strength to the
upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
Proverbs 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked
shall not inhabit the earth.
Hope is sick when we delay in repenting of
our sins.
Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when
the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:13 Whoso despiseth
the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be
rewarded.
Proverbs 13:14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to
depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 13:15
Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
Proverbs 13:16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open
his folly.
Proverbs 13:17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a
faithful ambassador is health.
Proverbs 13:18 Poverty and shame shall be
to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be
honoured.
Proverbs 13:19 The desire accomplished
is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
Proverbs 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion
of fools shall be destroyed.
Proverbs 13:21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to
the righteous good shall be repayed.
Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an
inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up
for the just.
Proverbs 13:23 Much food is in the
tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth
him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 13:25 The righteous eateth to the
satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
The faith
of the righteous hath hope in their death of the body.
Proverbs 14:32 The
wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his
death.
Proverbs 14:33 Wisdom resteth in the heart
of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made
known.
We need chastening, trials, or hardships in our lives to help us
to turn back to God and to gain faith in Him.
We have to believe in Him
first and have faith, then the blessing comes.
Proverbs 19:18 Chasten thy
son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
Proverbs 19:19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment:
for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
Without faith and
hope, even the grave and the pit of hell cannot save us.
The scriptures
give us truth, but we need to take action with it in our lives first.
Isaiah 38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee:
they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Isaiah 38:19
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to
the children shall make known thy truth.
We are sometimes brought low, so that we can be brought higher.
The trials of
fear, anger, hate, abuse, and teased, brings us lower, but we need faith and
hope to overcome.
Serving others with great needs, helps us to increase
our own faith and hope.
Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in
the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Jeremiah
17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her
roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be
green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from
yielding fruit.
When we sin, and do not repent, and we are cut off from
the spirit of the Lord.
We get no direction and guidance from God.
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole
house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we
are cut off for our parts.
Ezekiel 37:12
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my
people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves,
and bring you into the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 37:13 And ye shall know
that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you
up out of your graves,
Ezekiel 37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and
ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I
the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
Turning your hearts and minds towards the Lord and not to evil and
destruction.
If you have sinned, repent and be saved.
If you have
been abuse in any form or sinful ways, forgive and repent and be saved.
Joel 3:16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from
Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the
hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Zion is the house of the Gentiles, with their sealed book,
and the house of Jerusalem is the bible, with both books, His voice is shaking
the world or His voice in the scriptures of both books.
Micah 5:7 And the
remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as
the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons
of men.
Micah 5:8 And the remnant of Jacob shall
be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of
the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through,
both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
When
those who are baptized with the true priesthood authority, are adopted into the
house of Israel, and become His children.
Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to
pass in the last days,
Luke 11:49 Therefore also
said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them
they shall slay and persecute:
Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature
of the fulness of Christ:
Ephesians 4:14 That we
henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive;
Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be
last; and the last shall be first.
The came first to the Jews, and last
to the Gentiles, in the meridian of time, and in the Last Days, He will come to
the Gentiles first, then unto the Jews, last.
1
Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among
you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my
brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions
among you.
1 Corinthians 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you
saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified
for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Jesus Christ is a
JEALOUS God, His Church must be named after Him and no other name.
Jesus
Christ is not divided, just like in His day, in the meridian of time, whose
names were Paul’s church, Apollos church, Cephas church, but just like today,
there are many names for different churches with different beliefs.
Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God:
Amos 3:7 Surely the
Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the
prophets.
2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
thereof: from such turn away.
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
Milk = Bible - Meat = Seal Book - Per "Daniel
12"
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; ...
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
may grow thereby:
The bible is the Milk of the scriptures.
Hebrews
5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach
you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become
such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
The strong Meat, is the sealed book needed with more knowledge in the Last
Days, before the end and to fight Satan or the devil with his tools to mislead
us on wrong paths with the misuse of modern technology, bad music, bad movies,
wars, and etc., today.
1 Corinthians 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and
not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are
ye able.
Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the
word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Hebrews
5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are
dull of hearing.
John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this
fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be
one fold, and one shepherd.
Jesus Christ gave instructions to Prophets
which is Not of the House of Judah and they wrote it down which is the MEAT,
that Jesus talked about and their Book was sealed until the last days, today.
The "Other Sheep" has the MEAT or Additional
Commandments that Jesus Christ knows that we will need to overcome the evils in
these latter days.
Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days,
Zechariah 1:14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou,
saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion
with a great jealousy.
Isaiah 29:11 And the
vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which
men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he
saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
Isaiah 29:12 And the book is delivered
to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am
not learned.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast
seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have
believed.
Now Thomas believed after seeing and
touching, but he had missed out on the highest of faith, that Jesus Christ
desires for us to have.
Today, many want evidence and proof of the Church
and this prophet, else they will not believe what you tell them.
Daniel
2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom,
which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other
people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it
shall stand for ever.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them
that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
The hope and
resurrection of the dead, are the promise in the afterlife.
Acts 23:6 But
when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees,
he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a
Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Acts 23:7 And when he had so said, there arose a
dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was
divided.
Acts 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection,
neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
We need to
pray for hope and live as though there is hope of a resurrection.
Acts
26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto
our fathers:
Acts 26:7 Unto which promise our
twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which
hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
The true hope of the
Lord, brings us peace and joy.
Acts 28:20 For this cause therefore have I
called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of
Israel I am bound with this chain.
Acts 28:21 And they said unto him, We
neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the
brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
Acts 28:22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as
concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
Acts
28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his
lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them
concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from
morning till evening.
Acts 28:24 And some believed the things which were
spoken, and some believed not.
Acts 28:25 And
when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken
one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
Acts 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
Acts 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they
should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Acts 28:28 Be it
known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles,
and that they will hear it.
Be not against hope and faith of God.
Romans 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he
might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So
shall thy seed be.
Romans 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered
not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet
the deadness of Sarah's womb:
Romans 4:20 He staggered not at the promise
of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Romans 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able
also to perform.
We are justified in the Lord
through faith and peace and hope.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and
rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we
glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Romans 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
In our trials and hardships, we can gain patience, experiences, and
gain hope in the life after death.
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not
ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us.
The Lord wants the best for us and hope in Him,
we can be saved.
Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is
seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Romans 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we
with patience wait for it.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth
our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the
Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of
God.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose.
We are to rejoice in hope.
Romans 12:12
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
By being patience and studying the scriptures we gain more hope in a better life
in the resurrection.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever
things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through
patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans 15:5 Now
the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward
another according to Christ Jesus:
Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind
and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the
glory of God.
Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus
Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the
promises made unto the fathers:
Romans 15:9 And that the Gentiles might
glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to
thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
Romans 15:10 And again
he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
Romans 15:11 And again,
Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
Romans 15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of
Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the
Gentiles trust.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the
Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my
brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able
also to admonish one another.
Romans 15:15
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as
putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
Romans 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be
acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:17 I have
therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain
to God.
Romans 15:18 For I will not dare to
speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the
Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Romans 15:19 Through mighty signs
and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and
round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
By the power of the Holy Ghost, we will receive blessings for our hope.
1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the
mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
1 Corinthians 9:10 Or saith he it altogether for our
sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should
plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
When you make faith, hope, and charity part of your daily life, you grow
stronger in faith, and the hope of everlasting joy bring greater happiness to
your life, here and now.
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
If we only have hope, without faith and charity, we are very
depressed, unhappy, and angry with the world and ourselves.
1 Corinthians
15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.
1 Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and
become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Corinthians 15:21 For since
by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his
own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his
coming.
1 Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have
delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down
all rule and all authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:25 For he must
reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
When we serve others, and do good in this like, our faith grows.
Galatians 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by
faith.
Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth
any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Galatians
5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
Our calling in this life, is to keep the
commandment of God, serve our families, and others in need.
Ephesians 4:4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your
calling;
Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Ephesians
4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you
all.
Ephesians 4:7 But unto every one of us is
given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Every day, we
need to be active studying the scriptures and fasting, and prayer, and always
having hope, for there are many keys for us to find.
Colossians 1:23 If
ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the
hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every
creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you,
and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for
his body's sake, which is the church:
Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a
minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to
fulfil the word of God;
The helmet of hope is our salvation, which is a
that our minds must be centered on faith and service.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
Only through the love of Jesus Christ, can we have the true hope.
1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our
Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
1 Timothy 1:2 Unto
Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father
and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Timothy 1:3 As I
besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou
mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1 Timothy 1:4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions,
rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1 Timothy 1:5 Now
the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good
conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1 Timothy 1:6 From which some having
swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
1 Timothy 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they
say, nor whereof they affirm.
1 Timothy 1:8 But we know that the law is
good, if a man use it lawfully;
1 Timothy 1:9 Knowing this, that the law
is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the
ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1 Timothy
1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for
menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing
that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1 Timothy 1:11 According to the
glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
We
were told before the world was created, and give us hope for this life to
eternity.
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,
promised before the world began;
We came to this
earth with the desire to return home and hope of eternal life, which the
righteous become heirs of Heavenly Father.
Titus 3:3 For we ourselves
also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and
pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Titus 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared,
Titus 3:5 Not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the
washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:6 Which
he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Titus 3:7 That
being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life.
Titus 3:8 This is a faithful
saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which
have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are
good and profitable unto men.
The desire of Heavenly Father to have hope
and faith unto the end of this life.
Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over
his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the
rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Our love for the Lord, we must
show Him love to the end, if you have not done so, start today.
Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew
the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Hebrews
6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and
patience inherit the promises.
Hope is our refuge for all trials to
overcome with faith.
Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which
it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have
fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure
and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
We seek hope
to save us from evil.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Heavenly Father has abundant
mercy for the repentant and who has strong hope in the next life.
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a
lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you,
1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
God
implore you in faith and hope that He will be with them.
1 Peter 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from
the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the
Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a
pure heart fervently:
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever.
This time on earth is short, trust in God,
and your faith will grow and your hope will shine for righteous.
1 Peter
3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an
answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with
meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas
they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse
your good conversation in Christ.
Keeping the commandments of God, will
help us to purify ourselves through hope.
1 John
3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is
pure.
In time we will have a perfect brightness of hope.
When we
choose the right, it will make us well or healthy again, both physically and
spiritually.
The scriptures contain many examples of miraculous healings
by the Lord and his servants.
Exodus 15:26 And
said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt
do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and
keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have
brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
The Lord
of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings.
Malachi 4:2 But
unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in
his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do
this, saith the Lord of hosts.

my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the
statutes and judgments.

prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to
the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and
smite the earth with a curse.
Jesus healed all manner of sickness.

their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the people.

them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd.
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest
truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye
therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his
harvest.

about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the

brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and

He gave them
the higher, melchizedek priesthood power and authority, to heal all manner of
sickness and diseases.
Matthew 10:1 And when he
had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean
spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
disease.

authority, to heal the brokenhearted.
God only works from priesthood
power to create everything we see and not see, and you are part of that glory
form the beginning.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit
of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised,
Luke 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
They
were healed by the power of the Lamb of God.
If thou believest in the
redemption of Christ, thou canst be healed.
He
did heal them ever one.
He that hath faith in me to be healed shall be
healed.
In my name they shall heal the sick.
We believe in the
gift of healings, especially to those who feel they have had more hardships,
trials, sickness, diseases, medical diagnosis, employment challenges, burdened
by doubts or fears, beaten, belittled, feel alone or unloved, fatigue, worries,
abuse, accidents, injuries, self-destruction, and persecution, than they can
bear it, and in their difficulties, are almost drowned in their own sorrows.
Our refiner fire, is our own trials and hardships,
we must go through.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part
through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them
as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say,
It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.
1 Peter 1:7
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen
thee in the furnace of affliction.
1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace,
who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have
suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].

come forth as gold.

furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

is tried.
1 Peter 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a
season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
We learn to
become acquainted with Heavenly Father.
Through
our sufferings in this life, we seem to seek the Lord when we go through trials
and hardships.
As Jesus Christ suffered and we must suffer in some form
to be like Him.
Without suffering, we can never be like Him.
When
we go through these trials we feel we are cheated of any hope for us.
Many feels that their lives is so cruel and hard.
We need to focus on our
eternal outlook of the refining fire is our process towards our eternal
perfection.
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your
faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried
with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of
Jesus Christ:
Our greatest trials are caused by our own mistakes and our
recklessness or our sins.
Our trials are necessary for our eternal
happiness and joy.
Isaiah 53:3 He is despised
and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as
it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:5 But he
was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity
of us all.

before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my
people was he stricken.
Isaiah 53:9 And he made
his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done
no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it
pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make
his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 53:11 He
shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion
with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath
poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and
he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Many may feel they are being punished for their trials.
Many will think
they can escape the trials of diseases, pestilence, earthquakes, flood, storms,
war, and etc., in the last days. (Matthew 24)
Most trials and hardship are not from transgression, but for our own
experiences.
Our diseases, illnesses, afflictions, are not that God hates
us, on the contrary, He loves us.
Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet
learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
To those who feel
that they are unique or exclusive in their problems, this is not true.
Almost everyone feels that way, with their problems.
Many feels harassed, go through extreme abuse, or feel alone with their
problem.
With their grief, pain, or sorrows, feel they are the only ones
with their type of trial.
The Lord wants us to endure to the end, we must
partake of the bitter with the sweet.
Our trials, helps us to purge
ourselves, to purify ourselves, and we will be blessed for enduring, our
adversities.
God has a divine purpose for us
while we are here on earth.
We need to count all of our blessings and
name them one by one.
Overcoming our trials, will give us inner peace.
We grow more spiritually, when we endure the refining fine of our trials.
We must show compassion for those who are suffering.
This is our
mortal realities we have to face while here on earth.
By acknowledging
our trials to others, we have a higher chance of being helped.
We are all in a fallen world, and we are all being tested.
God cannot punish someone who has not committed a crime.
With agency,
when someone commits a crime, they will be punished in the Lord due time.
Matthew 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth:
Matthew 5:39 But I say unto
you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek,
turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at
the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
Matthew
5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of
thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 5:43 Ye have
heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine
enemy.
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the
children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the
evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same?
Matthew 5:47 And if
ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the
publicans so?
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect.
As we strive in doing good to others, seek
for peace and understanding in your strenuous times, for God has a plan for you
to return home to Him again in glory.
As you
study the scriptures, pray always, invite the Holy Ghost into your life to guide
you in helping you to make your life bearable and understandable on what is
happening.
Even the best of people, that have God in their lives,
struggle with trials and hardships and abuse in their lives.
When we have
these trials and hardships, never lose faith in Heavenly Father in heaven.
The love of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, is there for
you whether or not you feel you are worthy of it.
Never feel hope is lost, for God is always there.
If your trials and
abuse continue to be increasing, you need to seek out the advice of reliable
people with certified training, professional medical skills, and good religious
values, and not worldly values that lead to wickedness.
Whatever we are
struggling with, whether mental, emotional, physical, or etc., your life and
future is very important to you and others around you and most of to God.
God can and is willing to help you and your broken heart.
All caregivers and friends, need to be merciful, non-judgmental,
and loving towards all that need our help.
Seek help from others, when
those who should be protecting you, turns out, they are the ones that are
abusing and torturing you.
Great happiness can come from searching the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
His gospel can turn darkness into the light.
It has changed many lives, and He has brought the into His light and joy.
The help of Jesus Christ can bring peace and create miraculous healing.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:6 There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John.
John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear
witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
John 1:8 He
was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.
We just cannot sit in darkness, we need to
take action ourselves.
That spiritual light will take you out of
darkness.
Heavenly Father says we can start anywhere in our life and seek
that light and truth.
Let God know what you are feeling and all of your
trials.
Darkness will never win over the light and truth of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but
the greatest of these is charity.
By serving others, like the Lord calls
charity, your own problems will be less important.
