Keep On Being Brave, It Will Bring You Great Rewards
We All Go Through The Fire, But Christ Goes Through It With You All
HEBREWS 10:35-38
“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
”Hebrews 10:35-38 NKJV

God’s word gives us clear choice of life direction.
So often in our daily lives, as we walk with God we come to forks and T junctions in our path.
Even though the righteous path may look treacherous or extremely difficult, even though it may expose your hidden past, however difficult, you must trust God and walk with Him on His path.
The other may look easy, it might bring wealth or status, it may allow you to hide your past mistakes, but you can be certain, Satan carved that path for you.
He makes it look attractive, right, and easy. He will help you justify his direction with lies that he implants into your mind, will, and emotions, your very soul.
He is an impersonator, and he’s good at it. So therefore, don’t be sucked in by his evil schemes.
It may look ok, it may look like a plan, but the truth is, his path shall direct you toward destruction and shall steal your peace, your joy, and block that what God has planned for you.
It ultimately leads to death.
Even when you take the righteous path, the devil will try to stop you, he will put ice on the steep inclines that you may slip back; he will put mountains in your way to block you; he will bring the biggest storms into your life and do everything he can to stop you. He will attack your relationships, your finances, your family and even your health if he has opportunity.
He will come at you with whispering, prophecies, dreams, visions, and even through your loved ones, family, and colleagues, and discernment that can only come from God is very much needed.
Therefore, whether you receive teaching, prophecy, or have dreams or visions, test the spirits (1 JOHN 4:1), by asking God to reveal the source of the information.
The holy Spirit in you shall lead you in all truth (JOHN 16:13), all you need do is ask.
Despite the righteous road being an up-hill struggle all the way, it is bound for the peak.
Put your trust in God and you will make it all the way to the top.
Jesus is your life line, and however impossible your road or situation, He will make away for you (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 19:26).
It takes just a mustard seed of faith to move those mountains in your life MATHEW 17:20), and like Peter you shall walk upon the stormy waters, putting them under your feet if you focus and believe. And even if you are overwhelmed by the noise, it is encouraging to know that Jesus is right there with you to lead back to safety and calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
My beloved, we all go through the fire, it is part of the purification process (1 PETER 1:7), but like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo, when you come out the other side, you won’t even smell of smoke because Christ goes with you through it all (DANIEL 3:29-25).
When you are tempted to falter or start slipping back from following Christ, focus your mind on what He has already done in your life, and the ultimate goal of eternal life in paradise with the Most High.
My beloved, we are all to experience troubles and they will seem extreme at times.
James said, “when”, not “if”, putting it like this.
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
James 1:2-4 NKJV
Therefore my beloved, keep on being brave, it will bring you great rewards.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
