Today's post will deal with our Endurance. Which in today's society is grossly lacking. Why is this so you may ask? Because the worlds religious churches are proclaiming anything but the True Gospel of Christ, the El in man restored. The gospel of the Psalms and Prophets some 800-700 years before GOD appeared as a man, the Em-anu-El, (of Isaiah 9:6) to bring mans Redemption and Salvation. When in the New Testament we see the "word" spoken of we must have this knowledge of understanding the words is El restoring His Grace within man and then working this same Grace to bring about His own character of Holiness and Godliness of Righteousness within us, as He was within the Adam of His creation. Now for our need of Endurance. Later we will find out about what is means to become an Overcomer and the warnings for those who turn away.
Endurance:
Matthew 10:15, 16--20, 21-23, 24-26 (Jesus is here speaking) "Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. (the city of Samaritans)
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues (religious institutions); And you shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony (witness) against them and the Gentiles. (heathen, idolatrous world) But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall (will) speak. For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in (and through) you.
Brother shall (will) deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another: for verily (truly) I say to you, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known." Mark 13:1-8, 9-13 "As He went out of the temple, one of His disciples saith to Him, Master, (LORD) see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! Jesus answering said to him, See these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as He sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? Jesus answering them said to them, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues where you shall be beaten: and you shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony (witness) against them. And the (My Truth the) gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what you shall speak, neither do you premeditate: (plan on what to say, as in your own strength)) but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak: for it is not you that speaks, but the Holy Ghost. Now brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that shall endures to the end, the same shall be saved."
Hebrews 12:3-11 "For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds. You have not yet resisted to blood, (the death by) striving against sin. You having forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to children, My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of Him: For whom the LORD loves HE chastens, and scourges every son whom HE receives. If you endure chastening, GOD deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not? But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but HE for our profit, that we might be partakers of HIS Holiness. Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of Righteousness in them which are exercised thereby."
James 1:5-11, 12-18 "If any of you lack wisdom, let Him ask of GOD, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the LORD. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower thereof falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the LORD has promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of GOD: for GOD cannot be tempted with evil, neither temps HE any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust is conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of His own Will HE begat us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His (restored, renewed) creatures."
James 5:7-11 "Be patient therefore, brethren, to the coming of the LORD. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain. Be also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the LORD draws nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the LORD, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."
1Peter 2:18-25 "Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thanks worthy, if a man of a good conscience toward GOD endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with GOD. For hereto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile (deception) found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judges righteously: (as without partiality) Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed. For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."
