How Do We Endure To The End
By: Eva Fry
How do you feel about our world? Does it scare you? When you listen to the news are you afraid? When you watch TV and see how our society has fallen into the gutter of wickedness, does it discourage you? Have you had people you trusted, test your faith with the choices they have made and the bad things they do or have done to you?
Well then, welcome to the latter days! Our prophets have predicted our times. Now is Satan’s time. It is very evident as we all experience the downfall of society.
How do we endure to the end, keep our faith and convictions strong so we will be numbered with the righteous when our Savior Jesus Christ returns?
#1 We must realize these are the last days.
We cannot be blind and think that the evil things we see all around us will just go away. We don’t have to sit idly by and watch bad things happen. We can’t allow the evil to enter our lives or our family’s lives. We cannot let it get any kind of hold on us and we cannot allow it to destroy us. We are in a war between good and evil and Satan plans to win the war. He hopes to get a chain around your neck with the evil he spreads and then pull you right down to hell. We must have our eyes wide open and protect ourselves and our families from his enticing and from his temptations. In these days Satan will make evil things seem good and good things seem evil. We must be very close to our Father in Heaven and his Son Jesus Christ so we know the difference.
What must we do?
#2 We must watch and pray always
Mark 14:38 Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
This is the time when we must read our scriptures regularly, pray regularly, go to church, love each other, be obedient, serve others and make righteous choices and choose to be pure and clean. It is a time for repentance! To choose to be like Jesus!
We must be careful. I have seen through the years – those who have lot their faith and quit going to church because of something someone said or did and lost their testimonies and their families and after many years are now trying to return. I have seen many who made the wrong choices and let Satan enter their life and lost the spirit.
We must hold on to the Iron Rod! In this world we can’t let go for a minute – because Satan will have us. At the county fair I saw some motors riders (motorbikes) going over jumps and for a few seconds would completely let go of their bikes and be in mid air. I never saw one of them fall but if their timing wasn’t perfect they would probably kill themselves from the fall. We can’t let go of the iron rod of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for a second, because if we do we may be dead!
#3 We must do all we can to fight against Satan and stop the evil
A good man said: “We are not hopeless. There are many good people in the world. There is no need to stand still and let the filth and violence overwhelm us or to run in despair. There are enough good people in the world and in our church’s to add their strength to the few who are now effectively working. The challenge to oppose this evil is one from which we cannot shrink.
How do we fight Satan and this evil?
We begin with our selves. We must live virtuous lives. We are children of God, created in his image and we have his Son, Jesus, our Savior to follow, to learn from and become like. We must be pure before we can make a difference. We must be good examples.
We must look for the good things in life. Choose not to use drugs and alcohol or drugs. Proverbs 19:20 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Read good books and good magazines and good TV programs and movies. There is much family entertainment to choose from and we must thank those to produce it. We must listen to good music. Sing our hymns and other uplifting music.
We must only speak good works. No filth, no bad language or cursing.
Mathew 5:8 – Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
We have a challenge to lift our thoughts above the filth, discipline our acts into examples of virtue, control our words so we only speak that which is uplifting and leads to growth.
#3 We must actively share this wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ
This is how I endure, how I keep up my spirits and how I keep going! I share the Gospel every chance I get. Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ makes life exciting not negative.
I write letters to the newspapers, I have positive articles printed in the paper and on the Internet. I have written three Christ centered books and I have written much music praising The Lord and sharing the teachings of Jesus.
You can all do good too, in your own individual lives. Just ask God to lead you to your mission. To show you the things he would want you to do to help prepare for our Savior’s return. For His Second coming.
If we all do what we should d, then we may have the blessings of seeing him return ourselves.
Yes I have had my faith tested but I refuse to give into negativism when there so much good we can do and so many good people in the world
We must #1 Be aware that these are the Last days
#2 We must watch and pray always
#3 We must do all we can to fight against Satan and stop the evil
#4 We must actively share this wonderful Gospel Of Jesus Christ.
This is not a time for fear, or discouragement, it is a time for action, for excitement, to win the war between good and evil and to prepare the earth for our Saviors second coming and do all we can to be numbered with the pure in heart who will be there when He returns. We can endure happily!
