Word of God says man can tame wild animals too. “But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.”James 3:8-10 (NKJV) It is true all kind of quarrels and heart aches come by not keeping our silence when needed. The worldly people always have their own opinions for every matter either it is theirs or others. It is very simple, those who love life and want to see good days all they have to do is to keep the tongue from evil and the lips from speaking deceit.

Yes, All Who Desire To Live Godly In Christ Jesus Suffer Persecution
The teachings which go into the world now, that if you come to Jesus you will have all the worldly things and have a great family life, carrier and posses great wealth and have comfortable life. But the followers of Jesus lived a difficult life for the sake of the gospel they preached and Paul writes to Timothy with affirmation that those who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12) So if you are a true follower of Christ Jesus, you will definitely suffer bad treatments and rejections from people around or you may lack many things than those who do not know Christ, do not be disappointed, but praise the Name of Jesus for everything and enjoy the precious salvation you have received for eternity.
Let Us Therefore Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
Jesus’ finished work on the Cross made a way for God to come out of His holiest place and mingle with us in our spirits as the Holy Spirit, so there is no fear of God’s punishment but to come boldly to God’s Grace and receive the Holy Spirit, when God Himself resides in you. So sin is not a barrier any more to God and to us. It is all about Jesus— wisdom, righteousness, holiness and redemption. (1 Corinthians 1:30) If anything is depending on us then it will not be perfect. Thank God, everything is depending on Jesus, who took our place as man, little lower than the angels and gave us His Place having authority over angels, who are ministering spirits to those who have inherited salvation. (Hebrews 1:14) Glory to God, amen.
Prayer For Great Revival & The Lost To Receive Salvation
Jesus started preaching that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand: that means entry to heaven is right here on earth. (Matthew 4:17) So whoever believes in Jesus Christ, repented from their old self and put on Christ, has become a Christian. Rest of the people are considered lost in this world; and we need to pray for them. What actually happened is a veil is covering the gospel for the perishing: which got to be removed so that they can come out of the blindness that is caused by the god of this age. (2 Corinthians 4:3-6) We should pray to our Father God, that He can give repentance to the lost; enabling them to know the truth, come to their senses and escape the snares of the devil, who is controlling them. (2 Timothy 2:22-26)
Jesus Himself Took Our Infirmities & Bore Our Sicknesses
Jesus did a perfect job of taking our weaknesses and carried our sicknesses on His Body on the Cross; which was prophesied by Isaiah 700 years before the time, making it clear that Messiah would come to heal and to save mankind from the oppression and possession of demons under whose grip all were. Then why even now after 2000 years people of God did not receive this revelation that their sicknesses were healed by the stripes Jesus took on His back during the beatings, before He carried the cross and died on the cross for the remission of sins. We should know and believe that Jesus also healed our diseases by His Body as He remitted our sins by His Blood.
An Idol Or What Is Offered To Idol Is Anything?
After education and technology had grown so much and more and more people are becoming literate in the worldly wisdom, yet many are blind when comes to spiritual wisdom. They still follow the illiterate way of worshiping idols and trust their life that the man-made idols are something and the things given to them are something worthwhile; thinking their traditions they should not give up or have the fear of something bad will happen to them if they stop, they continue to do and educate their children too, even though in their conscious they are prompted that they are on the wrong entirety. The Word of God is clear, “All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.” Isaiah 44:9 (NIV)
With The Lord One Day Is 1000 Years And 1000 Years As One Day
The Word of God is clear, the earth was in water above from the cloud and water was under the earth too, by which the world man polluted with wickedness perished by flood. But the heavens and earth which are now preserved by the same Word are reserved for fire on the Day of Judgement and eternal damnation of ungodly men. We all know that mass destructive nuclear bombs and gas pipelines are under the earth and heat tsunamis are coming from the sun affecting the earth. These explosives and climatic conditions below and above the earth are ready to consume the world in which we live. “Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he (Jesus) promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”” 2 Peter 3:3-7 (NIV)
God Did Not Appoint Us To Suffer Wrath But To Receive Salvation
Right here on earth decisions are taken by the people. We either already live together with our Lord Jesus Christ and entered into the Kingdom of Heaven receiving salvation or we are suffering wrath of God because of disobedience to the Gospel by not following all the Commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said at the end of His sermon on the mount, ““Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”Matthew 5:19-20 (NIV)
The Good Work God Started In You Finishes When Jesus Returns
When good news the Gospel is preached there comes a confidence in the believer and there is a hope that God has kept a place for us in heaven. And this Faith we have in Christ Jesus that He is able to make us stand in God’s presence blameless, spotless and with great joy make us to do good works and love God’s people who are around us. This good work God started in us He will continue to help us do till finally He will finish on the Day when Jesus Christ our Lord returns to take us to our Home in Heaven.
Commit Your Soul To God, The Faithful Creator
As Christians we are supposed to be partaking in the sufferings of Christ. Walking with Jesus is not a rosy road as many false teachings going on in the world. While carrying the Cross JESUS said, “For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?” In the sense that people persecuted the Lord Jesus so much, who is like the green wood; then how much more persecution and reproach will be done to us who are dry wood. So as a born again, spirit filled Christian expect fiery trials and do not be surprised. This is how you partake with Jesus’ sufferings, so that you can enjoy in His glory with exceeding joy.
