Proverbs of a 42 yr old man.

There is a holy call to endure from our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. When healing has not come, and trial and circumstance has not been removed or relented. Endurance is possible because of the Spirit of Christ in us. Jesus endured the cross disregarding its shame so that we could overcome the world like He did. He even overcame death and grave removing the fear of death so we can enjoy real and eternal Spirit and Life! Those who believe in Him will never die! Think about the Spirit of Endurance we have been given. Jesus is the pioneer and perfecter of faith and sits down at the right hand of the throne of God. And He says we are seated with Him even as we live this life in this broken world. The greatest gift humanity that has been given to us by God is the gift of Christ life for us. His Life is the Light of men! May the LORD make us willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin. But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. Amen. We have been healed from our sinful nature and given the privilege to partake in the divine nature of God, The Spirit of Christ. Amen. Today, as Jesus reaches out to you with his nail pierce hand. Hear Him say, you can do all things through me who strengthens you. His Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Receive the power of Holy Spirit to get you through the darkest of valleys and strongest of holds. It is by His divine power; God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. Amen. There is a holy and high calling to endure and fight the good fight of faith. By our patient endurance we will gain your souls. In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So, after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. Amen. I appeal to you now to grab hold of Christs mighty right hand and let virtue fill your soul. Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
