THE FORMULA: The Struggle Of The Christian

Brethren,

This Is How The Formula
For The Struggle Of The Christian Goes:

Sense Aka What I Feel 

Versus Faith Aka What I Daily Receive, Have And Exercise

And
Fear Aka Ungodly Fear

Versus Hope Aka The Lord Is My Portion Saith My Soul

Therefore Will I Trust In Him! 

The Blessed Assurance!

What The Christian Often Does ...

He Complains To The Lord About His  Present Conditions

And Then 

He Remembers Whose Child He Is
And
He Immediately Comforts Himself 
Regarding His Future Estate

And

Life Being What It Is
He Recycles, Rinses, And Re-Uses
His Complaints And His Comforts 
- We Need To Study About The Prophet Jeremiah -

And Ultimately

Watching, Waiting, Faith That 
Works Because Of Love ... Wins!

The Facts Remain ... 

I Am ... You Are ... A Christian!
We Are Christians
And
I Pray To The Father That That Is
 By Name And By Nature!

Let's Make This Really Personal!

I Have Personal Experience!

I Know The Lord!

He Hears ... And Answers ... My Prayers
And

I've Seen His Hand Work In The Lives Of Others!

The Father Is Faithful

And He Has Promised ... In Blood

Never To Leave You Nor Forsake You!

The Lord God Almighty Says:

 Pray!

Trust!

Believe!

Be Obedient!

Endure ... To The End!

Even In The Low Dungeon ... That Place Of Despair

With No Lower Place To Descend To Than Death

I Will Raise My Voice In ... Lamentation

Then A Psalm Of Praise

And

Then I Will Share The Wisdom 
Found In Isaiah 41: 10, 13, 14

Because 
I Have Living Experience

And

I Will Rest In The Song Of Solomon 

And 
In The Book Of Daniel The Prophet
And
In The Revelation Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
By The Hand Of Apostle John The Aged!

In Short
We Are To Recognize And Know That We Have A Future!

Indeed!
I Know That I Have An Expected End
And
So Do All Of Us Who Choose To Accept The Promise!

The Father  ... By The Master

Has Promised All His People

A Prepared Home In Glory Land!

My God Is Omniscient!

My God Hears All!

My God Sees All!

My God Knows All!
My God Is In All!

My God Judges All

But 
As For Me

Because I Trust In Him ... In His Living Word

Because I Claim ... Believe ... The Promises

Because I Know His Hand

Of Love

Of Chastisement

Of Correction

Of Protection

Of Direction

Of Providence

Of Blessing ... For Confession Of Sin

For Repentance For Known Sin

For Choosing Him As My Everlasting Portion

Who Knew Me Before I Was

Who Ordained My Position

Who Called Me To His Side

He Shall Be ... He Is ... My King

My Lord, My God, My Hope, My Help

My Salvation 

My Redeemer

And

I Shall Press On To The Mark

To My High Calling

Because 

My God Ever Lives To Make Intercession For Me

And

I Personally Know He Cares For Me ... Personally!

We Should All Be Personalizing This Effort! 

Our Father Says: Children, Fear Not! 
Our Faith Says: Father, We Trust Your Word! 
Our Feelings Say: But, What If!?! 
Our Enemies Say: There Is No God! 
Our Hope Says: In Godly Fear Is Great Reward! 
Our Obedience Says: I Know In Whom I Believe
And 
I Live For Him Who Cares For Me! 

The Lord Is My Light ... My Salvation
And 
The Strength Of My Life
And 
I Will Not Be Afraid 
Because 
He Knows My Name, My Voice
My Heart, My Condition
And
I Know His Sacrificial Love
And 
I Will Lovingly Do As He Lovingly Bids Me! 

I Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord 
And 
I Will Endure All Things 
For He Is Health And Cure! 
I Will Not Fear Man Nor The Devil: 
I Hold The Living God In Godly Fear
And 
I Will Unceasingly Pray! 

Jesus Christ Is My ... Is Our ... Perfect Peace! 

Peace Be Still!
Oh, How Glorious It Is To A God
In Whom We Can Trust To Strengthen Us ...!

... And Trust To Carry All Of Our Burdens
As Long As We Trust And Obey His Word!

Brethren,

To Reiterate And Reinforce
Please Recognize The Viable Keys To The Kingdom:

Trust The Word ... Not The Lying Eye! 
Obey The Will Of God 
And 
Don't Walk In The Corrupt, Selfish, Self-Pitying Way! 

When You Trust And Obey

You Will Endure!

The Lord Has Made The Way Plain ... And Perfect!

Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord 
For His Goodness To The Children Of Men! 

Let's Thank God For Grace Now
And Coming Glory To Share!

Indeed!
He Is Good ... And Forever Faithful! 

A Spiritual Success!

Grace And Blessings

Are Placed In The Hands Of Those

Who Will

Faithfully Honor Jesus Christ 

The Only Holy Deity

The Lord Of Life!

Two Tables Of The Law! 

Two Chambers Of The Heart!
The Law Of The Lord Eternal
Is
Written Upon The Heart
And, From Thence
We Should Never Let It Depart!

Those Who Will To Follow Christ
Will Follow His Direction
And
Seeing In Their Characters Things Objectionable
Will Seek Avidly
- Under The Direction Of The Holy Spirit -
To Make The Necessary Corrections!

No Man Woman Child
Who Truly Walks With The Lord
Can Stay Unchanged In His Presence
And
For This Very Reason

We Seriously Need To Look 

To Correct Those Things That Are Not Right 

In Ourselves
If
We Have No Desire For The Lord
In The Judgment Hour
To Look Upon Us In Rejection
In Abhorrence!

If You Love Me

Keep My Commandments!

Take My Yoke Upon You

And Learn Of Me

For

I Will Lead You On The Path Of Truth

On The Straight And Narrow Way!

To Lord O'er You!

We Can Reply ... To The Holy Spirit's Call!
We Can Deny ... The Liar!
We Can Edify ... Others!
We Can Beautify ... The Inner Self!
We Can Die ... To Will and Wayward Self
And
Place "Our Own Way" On The Burning Back Shelf!

We Can Commit To The Creator
The Maker Of Man
Our Day Of Decision
And
Hold King Jesus' Hand
To Be Led By The Shepherd
To The Fold Of His Sheep
So That In The Dark Day
Our Rest May Be Sweet!

Happy May Your Days Be
Of This Brand New Year!
The Number May Change
BUT
The Days Roll The Same
Don't Get Caught Up 
In Resolutions' Resolve
Get Tied Up In Faith
And Covered In Prayer as With Cloth!

Don't Be A Sloth!
Don't Be A Bear!
Be Nice To Your Brother Sister
And
Tell All That Jesus Cares
For The Rich and The Poor
The Young and The Old
The Red, The Yellow, The Black and The White
All - To Jesus - Is As Pure Gold!

Don't Minimize Your Faults!
Don't Magnify Your Shame!
Don't Blame All Your Errors 
On Others With Whom You Played The Game!

Your Life IS Your Life!
Win! Lose! Stand! Fall!
Take Your Soul and Sorrows To King Jesus, and
He'll Guide You Through The Strife
AND
On To Eternal Life!

Trust In God -
Not Money Nor Men!
Trust The True Savior
Who Liberally Blesses and
Gives To All Men!

Dear Ones - My Dear Lovelies!
God's Blessing Be Upon You
For Health and Provision
And For Growth In Your Spirit, Too!

Be A Child To The Father!
Walk Not In Your Own Way!
Go To Your Father - He Loves You
And
Shows It In Myriad Ways!

Reach Out To Our Savior
Our Friend To The End
Walk On In Faithfulness and
Let No Earthly Disappointment
Your Faith In Jesus Christ Suspend!

Look ... With Your Heart
Hear ... With Your Eyes
See ... With The Touch Of  Kindness, and
Dismiss Satan and his Vile Lies!

The Lord In Zion Reigneth

So ... Let Your Heart Rejoice!
