“Resist him [the devil], steadfast in the faith, knowing that THE SAME SUFFERINGS are experienced by your brotherhood [you’re not alone]. BUT the God of ALL grace, who called YOU to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, WILL perfect, establish, STRENGTHEN, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen” -1 peter 5:9-11 To HIM be the dominion..the power “FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM THE POWER THE GLORY NOW AND FOREVER” (Matt.6 :13) the devil has nothing, and knows it. Fight the good fight brother. Grace be with you.
I know that when He has tried me.. I shall come forth as gold Lord, my heart is not [a]haughty, Nor my eyes [b]lofty. Neither do I [c]concern myself with great matters, Nor with things too [d]profound for me. 2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3 O Israel, hope in the Lord From this time forth and forever.
(Ecclesiastes 12:9, ESV) Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. (Ecclesiastes 12:10, ESV) The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.
Hebrews 2:18 "Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted, He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tempted and exposed to suffering."
The Lord is coming, the season is now! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!

Matthew 24:36-44 King James Version 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Luke 12:2-4 King James Version 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

Amen. Romans 1:16 King James Version 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. ;;;;;; Bible misinterpretations corrected: Correction Yahweh is the Lord God Almighty in the KJV Yeshua is the Son of God, being the Son of Man in the KJV but Yeshua is not God he is the Son of God Whilst Yahweh is the Father The trinity is a lie that has been carried out for many years by the catholic church and has been disproven many times Although the KJV enables readers to read the bible it is fundamentally flawed multiple areas and thus I recommend the Hebrew bible also known as the Tanakh for the most accurate translation as it is the most accurate I know of. either that or the possibly the Jerusalem bible for multiple reasons but I would recommend being cautious of such copies The scriptures prove what I have stated according to the KJV: John 14:16-18 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Exodus 20:3-5 King James Version 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; John 12:44 “Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.” King James Version (KJV) Acts 2:38 King James Version 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Mark 10:18 “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.” King James Version (KJV) ...... ....................................

Dear God, in times where I am at a crossroad in my life, I ask that you will give me the counsel that will help me make the right decision. I do not desire to go in the way that is not pleasing to you, Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen Shalom.
"The defilement of my mind will obscure the sight of the living God." - John Piper 3 Go to passages against lust: 2:30 1. Warning - Matthew 5:29 2. Promise - Matthew 5:8 3. Provision - 1 Peter 2:24
@Liam Smith No. the baptize is testimony. you have to do it for others to see and testify that you follow Christ but salvation comes by faith. When your eyes are open to the gospel of JesusChrist you will receive the Holy Spirit wich will mark you for the day of trial. The Holy Sprit of God will make changes in you its a new nature (the old one will still live inside you till the day you phisically die) in wich you will find joy on following the Commandments of the Lord Jesus
Living a christian life is not worth it. I try to live in a biblical way but receive more troubles in life compared to those considered more bad than me. It's all bullshit.
I can't see how it's not worth it to end up in en eternal life with a loving God just by giving our struggles daily to him. It's definitely not easy to stand apart from a world lost in sin. Sadly It took me way to long to realize the Greatest trick satan ever pulled on me was to make me believe he is not real and more importantly when I realized it I finally seen that God is real! He loves you you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
