AN EXHORTATION TO THE FAITHFUL

Another new year is upon us. For us who are among God's elect the changing of days, months, years, and seasons are only temporal and fleeting. We live in the present. The past is past, and the future is future. Jesus Christ is an ever present reality in our hearts and minds eternally and present. Praise and glory be to Jesus Christ our Lord.


The world which lieth in darkness is working hard to ever diminish and distort the Gospel and especially the person of Jesus Christ. These miserable’s never stop working their mischief and strive to further deceive the world with their deadly venom. They are vessels of dishonor ordained to this very end.


Thanks be to Jesus Christ our Lord who will never leave us nor forsake us in and through this valley of darkness. He will never fail us. He will continue to guide us into all truth and further separate His sheep from those goats who misrepresent His testimony and the testimony of His Apostles. These goats who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord are awaiting an awful revelation when they must stand before Christ at the end of this temporal world.


We who are blessed in all things will continue to see clearer as this evil world grows darker. A candle shines it's brightest in the midst of darkness. Jesus Christ who is our guiding light will ever shine forth in our hearts and minds in this dark world.


“perfect love casts out all fear”


The reprobate world lives in fear. They try to alleviate this fear through all diverse manners of social programs, religious expressions, monetary policies, forms of government, work and business endeavors, lusts , carnal desires, etc. etc. But all this to no avail. “there is no rest for the wicked” They have been subjected to this darkness called existence. But we who been marvelously transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ have been given faith to overcome fear. This perfect love by Christ to His people strengthens us day by day.


If and when the economies of this world crash via evil monetary practices, I will rejoice in my Savior Jesus Christ who will provide for me my daily necessities.


If and when this world destroys one another through war and power mongering, I will rejoice in Jesus Christ my Savior who shall give me peace in the midst of the storm.


If all my citizen rights were stripped away from me by our wicked government I will rejoice in Jesus Christ my Savior who has given me an inheritance in which no man can take from me.


If I become financially broke, I will rejoice!
If I become desperately ill, I will rejoice!
If the whole world would hate me, I will rejoice!
If I lose all my loved ones, I will rejoice!
If complete disaster entered my life, I will rejoice!


Only faith and those who are of like precious faith can speak these words and rejoice with me.


We rejoice because of Christ and all the promises made to us by Him. That is why His perfect Love towards us casts out ALL fear.


Let the world laugh. Let the religious snicker! Let the politicians drown in their own pride! For the King of Kings will crush them all at His coming. They shall not stand in His sight. Christ, His Saints and Angels will rejoice in their destruction. The King on the white horse will rule with a rod of Iron.


So in closing, let us who are among God's elect continue praise our Lord in ALL things.


Amen and Amen


Your brother and servant in Christ,


Nicholas
