Our life here on earth is hard at times,
and during the Great Tribulation
it will be even more challenging.
If you have trusted in Jesus as your Savior
then you should have hope
and not fear.
This applies to your life now,
and even more so,
should you find yourself living
during the 42 month
reign of the Beast
as foretold in Revelation.
If you are struggling now,
I'd recommend reading and memorizing
the promises and words of encouragement
to be found in the Bible.
The books of Psalms and Proverbs
are loaded with them.
Jesus gives us many reassurances
in the four Gospels.
I love Matthew chapter 10 verses 29-31
where He says,
Do Not Fear therefore;
you are of more value than many sparrows.
The apostles repeatedly share
the message of hope and peace
we are to be experiencing right now.
Romans chapter 8
Philippians chapter 4
1st Peter chapter 5
are some of my favorites.
It is the "truths" that you will find in the Word,
That will set you free from worry and doubt.
Enabling you to Rejoice in Hope,
and Rejoice in the Lord each day.
And I'd like to add that our Future
( as the elect, beloved, adopted children of God )
should be a major source of encouragement.
Let's read about
what we are to be looking forward to:
2 Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 7
which says,
and to give you who are troubled
rest with us
when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven
with His mighty angels,
1 Thessalonians chapter 4 verses 16 and 17
which says,
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Philippians chapter 3 verses 20 and 21
which says,
For our citizenship is in heaven,
from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will transform our lowly body
that it may be conformed to His glorious body,
according to the working by which
He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
I Corinthians chapter 15 verses 50 through 54
we read,
Now this I say, brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God;
nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed—
in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound,
and the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible
must put on incorruption,
and this mortal
must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible
has put on incorruption,
and this mortal
has put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written:
"Death is swallowed up in victory."
Please spend as much time as you can in the Word,
and talking to God about how you feel
He is listening,
and has promised to help you.
Isaiah chapter 41 verse 13
we read
For I, the Lord your God,
will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, 'Fear not,
Saying to you, 'Fear not,
I will help you.'
I even had a couple T-shirts made with this verse on it
just to help remind myself.

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some,
but exhorting one another,
and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:23-25
