Faith and Perseverance in Christ

All good and perfect things come from Jesus! Are you in Christ yet still seem to deal with trial after trial? You are not alone in this! Satan wants to attack those who love Jesus, to create doubt so we might loose faith. Hold strong to your faith and celebrate the trials knowing your redemption is near. Be still, stay in prayer and in His word. Soon this trial will pass.

When they do, remain in him even in the good times. Do not be caught sleeping, That is when Satan will sneak in and deceive you. Always focus on and be thankful for, The Lord’s presence in you life. See only those things which are from Him. Then your spirits will be lifted and peace and joy will wash over you.‬‬

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.”

‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭9‬, ‭12‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬
