Word of Encouragement

Obedience goes a long way even when the enemy comes along and attempts to make you think you’re a fool for serving Christ. He mocks you. He wants you to look at yourself, your pitiful self instead of looking at the solution, the prize, the answer. The Word says to look to hills from which cometh your help! Know that Christ is not mocked! Are you a friend? The Lord says that no longer will he call us servants but friends because he shares his will with his friends. The Lord has poured his love and He has sent his prophets to warn us of the days that we are in. Why be bewildered as if he didn’t speak these things in advance? He warned us to fight a good fight. He told us that the enemy comes to stiff us like wheat and that he was relentless. Who wants to fight for righteousness sake? You want more faith but you don’t want to go through the refining process? Did you count the cost? Seems like the greatest thing you could do is follow Christ when the preacher is preaching and the spirit is high and praise is making you feel good in the flesh, feeling like you can do no wrong. Yet what happens when you get stripped down and broken and to others who don’t know your heart, you look like you ought to be thrown away. Who originates life? Who is the originator of all glory? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Endure hardness as a good soldier. Seek your own salvation with fear and much trembling. Surrender, surrender, surrender, completely to the will of Christ and you will see the manifestation of righteousness in due season.
