No matter the overwhelming challenges around you, look only to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beloved severally in the Bible, you have been exhorted to know that Bible believing believers will experience challenges on this side of heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 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: 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of this, you are counselled to endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this difficult time, you must look only to Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By doing so wholeheartedly you will receive His unfailing ceaseless help that will help you not to be ashamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isaiah 50:7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will certainly deliver you from every death threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Corinthians 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will guarantee your victory that gates of hell will never prevail against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will also be there for you until you live eternally with Him in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trust Him and it shall be well with you in Jesus name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
