In life sometimes, the road gets rough, and your walk becomes tough and your friends, if any, become few and disconnected from you; It seems like they can’t be found. You’re family will begin to criticize and conceptualize about you, and then in some cases they will begin to publicize your life. Especially when your life and walk in Jesus Christ doesn’t meet their expectations or their concept of life. When walking in the truth of Jesus Christ, people who are living with one foot in the Church and the other in the world will never see you in the right light of understanding because they are walking in their form of make believe Christian dogma, that has its bases and focus on their understanding of a thing, which is inline with Satanic doctrines of self-existence, self-gratification and their own opinion.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says: 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
When it seem like your back is against the wall and things are causing you to lose clarity, then you need to read: Philippians 4:4-8 which says: 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Always remember that you need to be honest with yourself and to Jesus and ask the will be done in your life as in 1 Peter 5:5-8 which says: 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Let not get weary in well doing for in due season we will reap if we faint not as Galatians 6:9 says.
In my conclusion: I’ll just leave all of you with the words of 2 Peter 1:2-10 and Philippians 1:6:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Philippians 1:6 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
