trials of the faith

GREETINGS!

IT HAS BEEN MY SECOND DAY AWAY FROM HOME, STANDING FIRM IN THE FAITH, FOR MY GOD AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

EVERY SUPPORT, IN TERMS OF MONETARY, FOOD, SHELTER, ETC. HAS BEEN DEPRIVED FROM ME BY MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THE PRACTICE OF MY FAITH...

I HAVE GIVEN UP EVERYTHING JUST TO FOLLOW GOD, AND TO FOLLOW OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

I AM AT THE MERCY OF GOD, ON HOW WILL I LIVE, ON HOW WILL I SURVIVE TOMORROW...

ALL OF THESE I DO FOR GOD....

FOR IT IS WRITTEN:

MATTHEW 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continually.

Matthew 10:38 "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

Luke 14:27
"Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

NOW I FEEL HOW IT IS TO SUFFER FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND FOR MY GOD.
I NEVER FELT THIS HAPPY... FOR I FELT GOD TO BE CLOSER THAN EVER BEFORE.

EVEN IF I DIE IN THE PRACTICE OF MY FAITH IN GOD AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, I WILL BE HAPPY... BECAUSE NOW I KNOW THAT WHAT I DO IS FOR MY GOD AND MY LORD... I HOPE IN GOD...

ROMANS 15:13
Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 6:18 so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

1 THESSALONIANS 2:19 After all, who is our hope, joy, or reason for rejoicing in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? It is you, isn't it?

Mark 8:38 "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

Philippians 4:1 Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.


TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN.
