REJOICE WITH JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE AND FULL OF GLORY

“So that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly REJOICE WITH JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE AND FULL OF GLORY, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:7-9

My friends 2014, and I REJOICE WITH JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE AND FULL OF GLORY because I know my Savior lives, because “He walks with me, and He talks with me along life’s narrow way.” What A JOY AN INEXPRESSIBLE JOY TO KNOW, that my Savior is always there especially along life’s narrow way.

Matt 7:13-14 tells us to “Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.”

My friends today, and until Christ comes we must REJOICE WITH JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE, AND FULL OF GLORY because the promises in His Word, assures us that we are children of God if we believe, and I can say with out a doubt that this journey God has placed each of us on PREPARES HIS CHOSEN TO BE COUNTED AS ONE OF THE FEW, that finds THAT NARROW ROAD.

Because our faith makes us “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labor is not in vain in the Lord”  as we FEAR GOD and GIVE HIM THE GLORY. Proverbs 14:26  tells us “In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.”

So my friends today, focus on gaining that STRONG CONFIDENCE WITH JOY IN THE LORD AS A CHILD OF GOD, Because I can say with full assurance that we are on the threshold of Christ returning to take HIS CHILDREN HOME.

But we must believe that “God is our refuge and strength,” and through His Word and the transforming power of His Spirit is where we will always find JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE JOY, TO SERVE GOD. As you look back When Christ first entered your life, remember the bright spots in your WALK WITH GOD, When your heart throbbed with JOY INEXPRESSIBLE JOY as you were filled with the Spirit of God as He transformed your life.

Now in 2014, until the return of our Savior, stay focused as you flip through the pages of your life, and recognize the calmness from the setting SUN, or SON that transformed your life, as you studied His word, and held on to His promises, and knew with full assurance that GOD’S PRESENCE WAS WITHIN YOU. OH WHAT JOY. So today let’s stay faithful and endure, as we  thank God for the JOY of the past, and the JOY of what He will do for each of us, the rest of our lives here on this earth, and throughout eternity.

OH THE JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE JOY AS WE ALSO FOCUS on the vision our God has given each of us as we walk that NARROW PATH. A vision of God’s only Begotten Son, and the love of the Father who sent His Son to die for our sins, and the love of a Son who left the celestial bliss of  his throne in heaven, clothing His divinity with humanity, and the price He paid to release us from the clutches of Satan and the forces of evil.

He Reigns My friends that’s why we can REJOICE WITH JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE, AND FULL OF GLORY “Our Savior was indeed a Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief, for He opened His heart to all the woes of men. But though His life was self-denying and shadowed with pain and care, His spirit was not crushed. His countenance did not wear an expression of grief and repining, but ever one of peaceful serenity. His heart was a wellspring of life, and wherever He went He carried rest and peace, JOY and gladness. The religion of Jesus gives peace like a river. It does not quench the LIGHT OF JOY; it does not restrain cheerfulness nor cloud the sunny, smiling face. Christ came not to be ministered unto but to minister; and when His love reigns in the heart, we shall follow His example.” (E. G. White Christ Object Lessons) as we REJOICE WITH JOY, INEXPRESSIBLE AND FULL OF GLORY

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
