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!
