Phil:3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Dear Lord Jesus, I ask you to give me utterance to speak thy word and help your people to have strength and faith in you. To stand strong in your word and know without a doubt that you are there for them. Lord filled our hearts with your love and help us to keep on keeping on. To fight a good fight of faith and when we've done all we can do to stand, to stand therefore and see your Salvation. This I pray in your name Jesus. A-men
There are times when the battle of life seems so over whamming with life troubles. That when we just got out of one trial--it seems like we are in another one. Keep heart children our fiery trials is how the Lord makes us strong. These are the times he can get us pliable to mold and shape us into vessels of gold. He said in 1st Peter 4:12,
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"
I have got where I pray and ask God to not take me out of the trial but walk with me Thur it. So I can be made the vessel he wants me to be. Oh, it's hard to go through as you know, but if we keep asking God to take us out of the very thing. That is going to make us strong when we come out of it on the other side. How, can we ever grow into the the matured Christians he wants us to be.
I have heard people say: Oh, that is a woman or man of prayer they seem so strong in God. These are the ones that the young Christians seek out for help. Our trials drive us to our knees and we receive strength in our prayer closets.
Paul went Thur so many trials and tribulations that he suffered Thur his ministry. It made him the vessel of God that he was. A powerful minister of the gospel, he could help others because he had already been Thur it. So he knew how to give instruction to minister to the needs of God's people. He knew that he was running a race against the kingdom of darkness. He was going to keep pressing toward the mark until he obtain that goal of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Sometimes we do not want to go Thur the hard task of enduring these lessons but they are for our good. He said our fiery trials would bring us forth as pure gold.
The Lord loves us and wants us to be the best we can be. He said he would never put more on us then we could bear. He said he would never leave us or forsake us. This I have found to be true in my personal walk with Jesus. He has always seen me Thur. I want to encourage each one to look to Jesus and do not take your eyes off of him.
If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ, I want to ask you to let the leading of the Father bring you to Jesus. All you have to is realize your need for Him and ask him to forgive you of your sins. Then accept him into your heart by faith Thur grace and you are his. You are a new creature in Christ Jesus. All old things are pass away and behold all things become new. Then ask the Lord for the Holy Ghost and the comforter will come and abide in you. The bible says he will lead and guide into all truth. Remember that Jesus loves you and wants what best for you. May the love and peace of God be with you all.
