End Time Saints And The Call To Endure
End Time Saints And The Call To Endure

If you don’t endure to the end, you won’t be SAVED!
If you don’t abide in Jesus Christ, you will be cutoff and thrown into the Fire!
To The Lord’s Remnant…this is not the time to backslide and go back to Babylon and embracing the ways of Babylonian Christianity…this is a time to ENDURE and Persevere…
We are coming to a time when the Christian world is going to be SUDDENLY engulfed in very heavy persecutions as never before. There is going to be a worldwide HATE for all who love Jesus Christ.
I am not just being an alarmist here, however, if it requires that I should sound as an alarmist for you to awake , then so be it... The Lord has shown this to me over and over again, sudden and unexpected furious persecutions against the saints and it is at this juncture that I put out this message on endurance. World events are occurring at a very fast rate and news is hard to keep track of…evil is on a large increase everywhere.
However, Jesus Christ warned us about this time in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. The Lord gave us the signs of the times and among these signs as we come to the close of this age are the heavy and vicious persecution of the Saints. This persecution comes suddenly and without warning…
I write this article in hope that is will encourage you and for those who are still “fellowshipping” in the Apostate Churches that preach health, wealth and a good life here on earth, I pray that this will be a wake up call for you…
Even as we see earthquakes... Tsunamis, drought, hate, Ethnic warfare, and all the Matthew 24 signs Jesus Christ spoke about, what is coming suddenly and unexpectedly very soon is the heavy persecution of the saints.
Prosperity will not come, health-wealth will not come, no Dominionism but the sudden and unexpected diabolical persecution of the saints…
I pray that these scriptures below will help prepare you to ENDURE…Jesus Christ commands that we MUST endure during this time of persecution and tribulation…We are called to Endurance. Don’t let any foolish and idiotic preacher or pastor tell you that you don’t have to worry, that all things will be as they have been…
The difference between the past persecutions and what is coming is that this persecution will be unique as Jesus Christ described it in Matthew 24, that is has never been nor will it ever happen again… It will involve the whole host of the demonic and not just people who hate Jesus Christ…it is going to be demonic hate targeted at those who love Jesus Christ…
It will involve the betrayal of the True Saints of God by those in today’s churches who are in love with the World…it will involve your Pastor handing you over to be killed, it will involve great betrayals by demon posed Pastors, Apostles, Bishops, etc as they turn against the sheep in their care…this will happen…now is the time to prepare yourself, your family and friends who will listen and tell them that God is calling us to endurance and suffering for Him…
Lets take a look at what Jesus Christ said would happen concerning Persecutions, Tribulation, and our call to endure…
>>We Notice here that Jesus Christ clearly mentioned that you will be:
Afflicted…
Killed…
Hated of ALL Nations for His Name Sake…
Many shall be offended…
Shall betray one another…(Christians in context here)
Hate one another…(Christians in context here)
And…many False Prophets shall arise…
And…deceive many…
And…because iniquity shall abound…
The love of many will grow cold…
>>It is in such a state of events that Jesus Christ is calling all True Christians to endurance…
>>Many Christians during these state of events will fall back and their love for Christ will grow cold, they will fall in the faith and become totally apostate…the reason is that they did not take HEED and Watch as Jesus Christ commanded us to do so…their pastors, apostles and bishops lied to them that all would be well and they later realize that the promised prosperity and “Enjoying Life Everyday” with Joyce Meyer is not what happened but real bloody persecutions…
>>Notice also that Jesus Christ says that ALL Nations will HATE YOU for my Name’s sake…it is going to be world wide…what causes this kind of hate? It is nothing short of Satan and his demons…it is going to be sudden and unexpected and very diabolical…
>>Jesus Christ commands that we MUST ENDURE to the End…we must stand, persevere, and be faithful to the end…
Matthew 24:9-12
(9) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
(10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
(11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
(12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Matthew 24:21-22
(21) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
(22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mark 13:9-13
(9) But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
(10) And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
(11) But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
(12) Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
(13) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Luke 21:12-19
(12) But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
(13) And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
(14) Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
(15) For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
(16) And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
(17) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
(18) But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
(19) In your patience possess ye your souls.
>>Endurance is in context with persecution, tribulation, ill treatment, and great suffering of the Saints because they hold on to the Testimony of Jesus Christ. The hour has come that all who name themselves after The Name of Jesus Christ must endure the worldwide diabolical hate and persecution of the saints.
>>We must stand strong in The Lord Jesus Christ and hold onto our Faith in Him, we must hold onto His Truth and Abide in Him Alone...
>>So, we take a look at what endure means here from the Greek language to get a clear picture of what we must do as we obey The Lord’s COMMAND that we ENDURE…

Thayer Definition:
1) to remain
1a) to tarry behind
2) to remain, i.e. abide, not recede or flee
2a) to preserve: under misfortunes and trials to hold fast to one’s faith in Christ
2b) to endure, bear bravely and calmly: ill treatments
>>We find some interesting definitions…
To stay under, that is remain…
To undergo trials…
To bear trials…
To have fortitude…(courage)
To abide…not recede or flee
To persevere…
To take patiently…
To suffer…
To tarry behind…
To preserve: under misfortunes and trials to hold fast to one’s faith in Christ
To endure, bear bravely and calmly: ill treatments
>>Remember that we cannot endure outside Jesus Christ…interestingly is that one of the definitions for the word ‘Endure’ is to abide…so we can only abide in Jesus Christ as He commanded us in John 15:1-6…
John 15:1-6
(1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
(2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
(3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
(4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
(5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
(6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
>>Satan and his demonic forces will suddenly unleash an onslaught of very heavy and ferocious persecutions to the lax and lukewarm Christians to take as many as he can down with him to hell…
>>Our only source of strength is to ABIDE in Jesus Christ…please note that those who don’t abide in Christ, those who don’t endure will BE CAST INTO HELL…it will cost you your salvation if you refuse to Abide in Christ Jesus and as such cannot endure to the end and you will not be saved…these are not my words and spin…if you have controversy with them, then go to Jesus Christ, He said them and not me…
>>It is God’s Word and very clear that if you don’t abide in Him you will be cut off and cast into the fire…it is God’s Word and very clear that if you don’t endure to the end you will not be SAVED!
>>We can only endure the coming worldwide persecution and tribulation by abiding in Jesus Christ…we cannot do anything without Him…
>>It is at this juncture that I mention about the Holy Spirit…Jesus Christ said that He would not leave us as orphans but would send the Helper, The Spirit of Truth, The Comforter, The Holy Spirit, and that The Holy Spirit would lead us in all Truth and He would glorify Jesus Christ…
>>Many End time teachers out there ignore the ministry of The Holy Spirit and think that they will abide and endure because of their stubbornness, research, knowledge about the Illuminati, UFOs, New World Order, knowing "their rights" etc...but such thinking is stupidity and foolishness and suicidal at its best… You MUST be FILLED with The Holy Spirit...
>>The Holy Spirit is present and yes, we NEED to be filled with the Holy Spirit and He will guide us in all Truth for He is The Spirit of Truth… This means that you cannot have half truth but Truth…no more 70% truth and 30% lies…The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and God’s Word is Truth, therefore The Holy Spirit testifies to The Whole Counsel of God's Word…John 17:17.
John 16:1-14
(1) These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
(2) They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
(3) And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
(4) But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
(5) But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
(6) But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
(7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
(8) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
(9) Of sin, because they believe not on me;
(10) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
(11) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
(12) I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
(13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(14) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
>>Context of the scripture above is that Jesus Christ was speaking about the persecutions that His disciples would have to endure…so, the disciples’ hearts were filled with sorrow and then Jesus Christ spoke about the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth and The Comforter, that He would not leave them as orphans without a Helper…
>>So, throw away all your unbiblical ideologies, prejudice, and preconceived ideas about The Holy Spirit that you gotten from the religious circles like the Baptist movement and all other Cessationist Preachers...read your Bible yourself and check to see if what I say is true…
>>You NEED and MUST be FILLED with The Holy Spirit as the early Christians were in the Book of Acts…anything less than what happened in the book of Acts concerning being filled with The Holy Spirit is a counterfeit…
>>As a matter of fact Jesus Christ told them to wait for the promise from The Father – The Holy Spirit in the upper room and they did not begin to witness for Christ Jesus until they were filled with The Holy Spirit…
>>They were able to endure the onslaught of persecutions because of the grace and strength they received from The Holy Spirit. They were also able at the same time to be True witnesses of Jesus Christ and contend earnestly for the Faith and hold firm to the whole counsel of God’s Word…and Endure to the end because of the grace and strength from The Holy Spirit…
>>So, those who think that they will simply overcome the Antichrist onslaught without the promise from The Father – The Holy Spirit are deluded and deceived…humble yourself and humbly ask that you will receive The Holy Spirit and be Filled with The Holy Spirit so you can be a witness for Jesus Christ in this end times and endure by abiding in Christ Jesus…Amen
>>Our Endurance cannot be done in the current state of Christendom, we cannot bare fruit that endures through the coming Tribulation by abiding in such messages as Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, and TD Jakes…we cannot endure by being apart of the fallen apostate church…we MUST come out of such and ENDURE by ABIDING in JESUS CHRIST, The True Vine! Being grounded in “your church” will not help, being a friend of your pastor won't help either, or by loving your denomination or should I say demon-nation...
>>You must abide only in Jesus Christ in order for you to endure and stay standing at the end...
>>Endurance brings about death to self, death to the world and its ways in us, even as we are conformed to the Image of Jesus Christ...
>>As we endure we bare fruit in Christ Jesus, here by fruit, I mean the life and character of Jesus Christ is formed in us...many religious liars from the church growth movement in Christendom always spin John 15 to mean that the fruits spoken about are people that we soul win...this is not so... The fruits we bare are those of The Holy Spirit, which is the character and likeness of Jesus Christ in us...
>>So, we take a look at some scriptures here concerning the call to ENDURE…
>>Yes, to be saved, we must also endure to the end...those who don't endure to the end will not be saved...those offended over this should contact Jesus Christ directly...
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
>>Affliction, persecution, and tribulations must come because of God's Word in us , to test us, however those who don't abide in Christ Jesus take offense...terrible record breaking persecutions are coming because the world hates Jesus Christ...and we MUST Endure...
Mark 4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
>>Yes, we shall be hated by ALL men because of Jesus Christ...and we must endure by abiding in Jesus Christ even when hated for His Name Sake to the end to be saved...endurance is part of salvation...(I am so sorry all ye Pre-Tribers...contact Jesus Christ directly on questions about this...)
Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
>>The early church was one that endured, so must we endure persecutions also...
2 Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
>>All GOOD soldiers of Jesus Christ MUST endure hardships...Jesus Christ and the Apostles never promised prosperity, wealth, and riches, like TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer, Rick Warren and other Babylonian Preachers teach... Jesus Christ and His apostles taught endurance of hardships, tribulations, persecutions, and suffering for Christ Jesus even unto death...
2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
>>Those called by Jesus Christ to lead His people must have a history of endurance'; they must be good soldiers who endure hardships, persecutions, tribulations, and sufferings even unto death...these set an example to follow for the rest of the saints...current Christian Leaders in many churches today are not so but seek to live a luxurious life at the expense of the saints...such men are liars, importers, fraudsters and wolves in sheep's clothing...you can find many of them crisscrossing the globe on TBN and Day Star TV...
2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
>>It is interesting that many will not endure, abide, remain, stay in sound doctrine...they won't abide in Jesus Christ, they reject God's True Word, they reject the whole counsel of God's Holy Word and refuse to abide in Jesus Christ -The True Vine, they reject The Holy Spirit – The Spirit of Truth and as such are reserved for the fire since such branches that don't abide in Jesus Christ are thrown into the fire...
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
>>It is clear the Apostles taught endurance and sufferings for Christ Jesus...
2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
>>God deals with us as Sons and Daughters if we endure His chastening, the tribulation period will certainly be a last chance for all saints to endure hardships and die to the things of this world and be conformed to Christ Likeness – Image of Jesus Christ...must of the Christian church has rejected the chastening of The Lord and therefore are likened to bustards but the persecutions and tribulations coming will give every Christian a chance to endure the chastening of The Lord and die to this world and be conformed to Christ's likeness...and as such God will deal with them as His True Sons and Daughters separated for Him and Holy unto him...
Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
>>The Lord is allowing the worldwide hate and ferocious record breaking persecutions to occur to the saints for our own good...that we be separate from idols of the world – Egypt that have taken over the lives of many saints because of false pastors and preachers... The Tribulation will stripe us of every worldliness and take us out of Egypt/Babylon and Egypt/Babylon out of us...as we endure the chastening of The Lord, the Lord will deal with us as His Sons and Daughters even as we separate ourselves for Him...so, why wait until the tribulation begins? Why not start enduring and accepting the chastening of The Lord now?
2 Corinthians 6:16-18
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
>>The Israelites could not endure God's Commands even the Church has done today and they could not stand the presence of God on the Mount of Meeting...they rejected a personal relationship with God and decided to have Moses speak to God on their behalf...they ended up choosing a king over them and rejecting God as their leader, they wanted to be like other nations and this grieved Samuel the Prophet greatly...today many Christians have over them kings who act as intermediaries and have rejected a personal relationship with Jesus Christ...
Hebrews 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
>>Yes, True Faith has to do a lot with endurance, just like Abraham, Joseph, Noah, Job and all the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11...faith which endures not is not faith...faith spoken about by charlatan preachers on Christian TV is not faith...True Faith endures...
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
>>Again our endurance cannot be outside God's Holy Word....we endure by abiding in Jesus Christ...we suffer for Him, not as robbers, thieves etc...
1 Peter 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
>>True Faith will endure persecutions and testing...this is not the prosperity preaching faith here, this is True Faith in Christ Jesus
1 Peter 1:6-7
(6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
>>Yes, these are the saints that come out of the tribulation, saints that endure sufferings for Jesus Christ and endure by abiding in Jesus Christ and hold His word True...
Revelation 7:13-17
(13) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
(14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(15) Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
(16) They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
(17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
>>The Saints that endured by abiding in Jesus Christ overcame Satan by The Blood of The Lam, The Word of their Testimony – God's Word – Truth, and not loving their lives unto death...enduring to the end...
Revelation 12:11
(11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Brothers and Sisters, Let us Endure to The End...
The Coming days are going to be very evil and persecutions are going to be very heavy and record breaking and we must endure to the end...
We are only pilgrims in this earth and our citizenship is in Heaven where our inheritance is with Jesus Christ...let us ENDURE to The END...Amen
Called to Endure to The End

(3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
(4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
(5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
(6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
>>Satan and his demonic forces will suddenly unleash an onslaught of very heavy and ferocious persecutions to the lax and lukewarm Christians to take as many as he can down with him to hell…
>>Our only source of strength is to ABIDE in Jesus Christ…please note that those who don’t abide in Christ, those who don’t endure will BE CAST INTO HELL…it will cost you your salvation if you refuse to Abide in Christ Jesus and as such cannot endure to the end and you will not be saved…these are not my words and spin…if you have controversy with them, then go to Jesus Christ, He said them and not me…
>>It is God’s Word and very clear that if you don’t abide in Him you will be cut off and cast into the fire…it is God’s Word and very clear that if you don’t endure to the end you will not be SAVED!
>>We can only endure the coming worldwide persecution and tribulation by abiding in Jesus Christ…we cannot do anything without Him…
>>It is at this juncture that I mention about the Holy Spirit…Jesus Christ said that He would not leave us as orphans but would send the Helper, The Spirit of Truth, The Comforter, The Holy Spirit, and that The Holy Spirit would lead us in all Truth and He would glorify Jesus Christ…
>>Many End time teachers out there ignore the ministry of The Holy Spirit and think that they will abide and endure because of their stubbornness, research, knowledge about the Illuminati, UFOs, New World Order, knowing "their rights" etc...but such thinking is stupidity and foolishness and suicidal at its best… You MUST be FILLED with The Holy Spirit...
>>The Holy Spirit is present and yes, we NEED to be filled with the Holy Spirit and He will guide us in all Truth for He is The Spirit of Truth… This means that you cannot have half truth but Truth…no more 70% truth and 30% lies…The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and God’s Word is Truth, therefore The Holy Spirit testifies to The Whole Counsel of God's Word…John 17:17.
John 16:1-14
(1) These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
(2) They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
(3) And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
(4) But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
(5) But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
(6) But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
(7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
(8) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
(9) Of sin, because they believe not on me;
(10) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
(11) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
(12) I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
(13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(14) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
>>Context of the scripture above is that Jesus Christ was speaking about the persecutions that His disciples would have to endure…so, the disciples’ hearts were filled with sorrow and then Jesus Christ spoke about the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth and The Comforter, that He would not leave them as orphans without a Helper…
>>So, throw away all your unbiblical ideologies, prejudice, and preconceived ideas about The Holy Spirit that you gotten from the religious circles like the Baptist movement and all other Cessationist Preachers...read your Bible yourself and check to see if what I say is true…
>>You NEED and MUST be FILLED with The Holy Spirit as the early Christians were in the Book of Acts…anything less than what happened in the book of Acts concerning being filled with The Holy Spirit is a counterfeit…
>>As a matter of fact Jesus Christ told them to wait for the promise from The Father – The Holy Spirit in the upper room and they did not begin to witness for Christ Jesus until they were filled with The Holy Spirit…
>>They were able to endure the onslaught of persecutions because of the grace and strength they received from The Holy Spirit. They were also able at the same time to be True witnesses of Jesus Christ and contend earnestly for the Faith and hold firm to the whole counsel of God’s Word…and Endure to the end because of the grace and strength from The Holy Spirit…
>>So, those who think that they will simply overcome the Antichrist onslaught without the promise from The Father – The Holy Spirit are deluded and deceived…humble yourself and humbly ask that you will receive The Holy Spirit and be Filled with The Holy Spirit so you can be a witness for Jesus Christ in this end times and endure by abiding in Christ Jesus…Amen
>>Our Endurance cannot be done in the current state of Christendom, we cannot bare fruit that endures through the coming Tribulation by abiding in such messages as Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, and TD Jakes…we cannot endure by being apart of the fallen apostate church…we MUST come out of such and ENDURE by ABIDING in JESUS CHRIST, The True Vine! Being grounded in “your church” will not help, being a friend of your pastor won't help either, or by loving your denomination or should I say demon-nation...
>>You must abide only in Jesus Christ in order for you to endure and stay standing at the end...
>>Endurance brings about death to self, death to the world and its ways in us, even as we are conformed to the Image of Jesus Christ...
>>As we endure we bare fruit in Christ Jesus, here by fruit, I mean the life and character of Jesus Christ is formed in us...many religious liars from the church growth movement in Christendom always spin John 15 to mean that the fruits spoken about are people that we soul win...this is not so... The fruits we bare are those of The Holy Spirit, which is the character and likeness of Jesus Christ in us...
>>So, we take a look at some scriptures here concerning the call to ENDURE…
>>Yes, to be saved, we must also endure to the end...those who don't endure to the end will not be saved...those offended over this should contact Jesus Christ directly...
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
>>Affliction, persecution, and tribulations must come because of God's Word in us , to test us, however those who don't abide in Christ Jesus take offense...terrible record breaking persecutions are coming because the world hates Jesus Christ...and we MUST Endure...
Mark 4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
>>Yes, we shall be hated by ALL men because of Jesus Christ...and we must endure by abiding in Jesus Christ even when hated for His Name Sake to the end to be saved...endurance is part of salvation...(I am so sorry all ye Pre-Tribers...contact Jesus Christ directly on questions about this...)
Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
>>The early church was one that endured, so must we endure persecutions also...
2 Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
>>All GOOD soldiers of Jesus Christ MUST endure hardships...Jesus Christ and the Apostles never promised prosperity, wealth, and riches, like TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer, Rick Warren and other Babylonian Preachers teach... Jesus Christ and His apostles taught endurance of hardships, tribulations, persecutions, and suffering for Christ Jesus even unto death...
2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
>>Those called by Jesus Christ to lead His people must have a history of endurance'; they must be good soldiers who endure hardships, persecutions, tribulations, and sufferings even unto death...these set an example to follow for the rest of the saints...current Christian Leaders in many churches today are not so but seek to live a luxurious life at the expense of the saints...such men are liars, importers, fraudsters and wolves in sheep's clothing...you can find many of them crisscrossing the globe on TBN and Day Star TV...
2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
>>It is interesting that many will not endure, abide, remain, stay in sound doctrine...they won't abide in Jesus Christ, they reject God's True Word, they reject the whole counsel of God's Holy Word and refuse to abide in Jesus Christ -The True Vine, they reject The Holy Spirit – The Spirit of Truth and as such are reserved for the fire since such branches that don't abide in Jesus Christ are thrown into the fire...
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
>>It is clear the Apostles taught endurance and sufferings for Christ Jesus...
2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
>>God deals with us as Sons and Daughters if we endure His chastening, the tribulation period will certainly be a last chance for all saints to endure hardships and die to the things of this world and be conformed to Christ Likeness – Image of Jesus Christ...must of the Christian church has rejected the chastening of The Lord and therefore are likened to bustards but the persecutions and tribulations coming will give every Christian a chance to endure the chastening of The Lord and die to this world and be conformed to Christ's likeness...and as such God will deal with them as His True Sons and Daughters separated for Him and Holy unto him...
Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
>>The Lord is allowing the worldwide hate and ferocious record breaking persecutions to occur to the saints for our own good...that we be separate from idols of the world – Egypt that have taken over the lives of many saints because of false pastors and preachers... The Tribulation will stripe us of every worldliness and take us out of Egypt/Babylon and Egypt/Babylon out of us...as we endure the chastening of The Lord, the Lord will deal with us as His Sons and Daughters even as we separate ourselves for Him...so, why wait until the tribulation begins? Why not start enduring and accepting the chastening of The Lord now?
2 Corinthians 6:16-18
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
>>The Israelites could not endure God's Commands even the Church has done today and they could not stand the presence of God on the Mount of Meeting...they rejected a personal relationship with God and decided to have Moses speak to God on their behalf...they ended up choosing a king over them and rejecting God as their leader, they wanted to be like other nations and this grieved Samuel the Prophet greatly...today many Christians have over them kings who act as intermediaries and have rejected a personal relationship with Jesus Christ...
Hebrews 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
>>Yes, True Faith has to do a lot with endurance, just like Abraham, Joseph, Noah, Job and all the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11...faith which endures not is not faith...faith spoken about by charlatan preachers on Christian TV is not faith...True Faith endures...
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
>>Again our endurance cannot be outside God's Holy Word....we endure by abiding in Jesus Christ...we suffer for Him, not as robbers, thieves etc...
1 Peter 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
>>True Faith will endure persecutions and testing...this is not the prosperity preaching faith here, this is True Faith in Christ Jesus
1 Peter 1:6-7
(6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
>>Yes, these are the saints that come out of the tribulation, saints that endure sufferings for Jesus Christ and endure by abiding in Jesus Christ and hold His word True...
Revelation 7:13-17
(13) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
(14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(15) Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
(16) They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
(17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
>>The Saints that endured by abiding in Jesus Christ overcame Satan by The Blood of The Lam, The Word of their Testimony – God's Word – Truth, and not loving their lives unto death...enduring to the end...
Revelation 12:11
(11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Brothers and Sisters, Let us Endure to The End...
The Coming days are going to be very evil and persecutions are going to be very heavy and record breaking and we must endure to the end...
We are only pilgrims in this earth and our citizenship is in Heaven where our inheritance is with Jesus Christ...let us ENDURE to The END...Amen
Called to Endure to The End
In Christ Jesus
