Endure.

[Rev.Anthony Ray Smith]

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. Can thy heart endure, or thy hands be strong?
Endure; to bear with patience; to bear without opposition or sinking under pressure.
The morality of this nation and the world has begun to collapse under the weight of Satan’s lies and the influence of the spirit of antichrist. Christians are hated because we stand for the truth of God’s word and His revelation of His Son Jesus into our hearts. The pressure of political correctness is growing by leaps and bounds, many are confused as to what is truth and what are lies meant to deceive.

Jesus stated of His time and ours; “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.” And this has come to pass. We see anywhere there is a symbol of Christianity an outcry by atheist, opposing religions, and other antichristian organizations for their removal, we see Christians being imprisoned and murdered for their testimony and belief, but there is no outcry by so called peace advocates, politicians or governments, they have all closed their eyes and shut their ears so that the truth cannot be seen nor the suffering of the innocent cannot be heard.

These things shall and will continue to come to pass, for as I have stated, the Biblical prophecies of the end days shall come to pass, we cannot change what is about to happen and we cannot delay them, for as it is written, it shall happen.
We as Christians have learned to bear these things with knowledge and patience; we have learned to endure with the anointing from God. “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”

“ye need not that any man teach you” simply meaning, that within man there is no righteousness nor spirituality that is acceptable with God, therefore only the Holy Spirit of God can instruct any man into the truth of righteousness and into all truth of God’s word. Even our teachers of the Gospel, myself included, must have their knowledge, wisdom and understanding come from God and His Spirit. For even Paul stated of his wisdom; For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
We, who are saved, are saved indeed but we must also endure unto the end of our lives, being not deceived by those that know not the Lord nor are not known by Him. To be able to endure unto the end also means that we must recognize the false teachers, preachers and doctrines that are contrary to sound judgment.

There are many today that say they are from the Lord and do lie. We are witness to these people that preach only hatred and division among the people. For Jesus warned us not to listen to them, for not everyone that sayeth Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven, only those that do the will of the Father. For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge, but many who say they are from the Lord do not fear Him so they lack knowledge and wisdom. They are like clouds without water, light that hides in shadows or a cold wind over the face of the dead.
Many Christians today are being murdered for their faith in Christ, countries defend the unrighteous while the righteous keep feeling the pain of suppression, being jailed, beaten, their homes, businesses and families all being destroyed. Justice has hid her face, law has been corrupted, and equal rights have been suspended. But with all of this, the Christian calls not for vengeance, for we all remember what the Lord stated, Vengeance is mine, I shall repay.

The great falling away has begun, unsound doctrine is among us, false Christs are coming forth calling for a one world religion where everyone can believe whatever they desire and still be saved. The day is coming where the Lord shall shorten the days, removing the elect so that they also shall not be deceived, but the mockers still will mock, the unbelievers shall still not believe, even when the stars fall from Heaven, the earth rocks as a drunkard and the moon turns to blood.

Can thy heart endure, or thy hands be strong? Can you continue to believe when all things in your life seem to go wrong; can you still endure when your life is in shambles? We must all look to Jesus as our example of endurance, for He suffered more than any of us shall suffer, yet He did not falter in His commission from the Father. He endured persecution, hatred, pain and humiliation all for the sake of men’s souls. The sinless for the sinner, a sacrifice for the lost, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Son of the Living God who is blessed forever.
