VERSES TO REFER

Rom. 5: 3-5 Pressure works endurance, endurance > approvedness > expectation , which does not disappoint.

II Tim. 3 : 10-12- Paul’s persecutions and delivered out of them all.

Rom. 7:17 Suffer with Messiah, so you can be exalted with him!

Rom. 8: 25 Endurance, expect what we do not see

Matt. 24: 9-10, 13 Affliction and killing; he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Rom. 8 :35-37 Who shall separate us from the love of the Messiah? Pressure, distress, persecution , or scarcity of food, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?? Killed all day long, reckoned sheep for the slaughter (Rom 8:35-37; Pslm 44:22) . BUT, in all this we are more than overcomers through him who loved us.

Rom. 12:12 rejoicing in the expectancy, enduring under pressure

James 1:4 patience have her perfect work – S 5046

Col. 4:12 so you stand perfect and complete in all the desire of Elohim.

I Tim. 6:11 pursue righteousness, reverence, belief, love , endurance ( run after it!), meekness

I Cor. 9 : 24 Run the race to obtain the prize

WHAT PRIZE ARE WE WORKING FOR?

Rev. 3:5 Overcomers get white robes and their name is not blotted out of the Book of Life- ETERNAL LIFE

Rev. 12 :11 and they overcame him( Satan) because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Rev. 13:7-10 Satan overcomes saints ; verse 8 states-that all those dwelling on the earth whose names have NOT been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world shall worship him. At this point , it sounds like some will be made captive and others killed with the sword (other references in Jeremiah similar to this are against the enemy of Yah); its Yah’s will. Here is the endurance and belief of the set apart ones.

Eph. 6:11-17 Armor of Yah, put it on to have power to stand and withstand in the wicked day , and having done all, to stand.

Examples: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, whether we die, we do not know.

Delivered from a fiery furnace

Yeshua’s death

Yeshua’s reward is coming quickly ETERNAL LIFE

Our hope is in the Resurrection, which is YESHUA!   Amein
