Think Your Trials Worse Than Jesus Had?

Stagecoach, NV
Dear Brothers & Sisters,

I’m talking here about your time left on earth, the gradually impairing or wasting your time, like 
reading small print can be wearing on the eyes.  For some reason, I felt led to talk to you about the times we’re in, and waiting for Abba [God] to release Jesus to come for us. 
Yet, Abba tells us there will be tribulation, but it’s to learn from – search Him for the answers, see ABBA work on our behalf, build our faith and fellowship with Him [and in Him] this reveals how TRUE His Word is, despite what the world says, we should NOT FEAR IT.  God IS A GOOD GOD and has given all the answers we need in His Word, to live abundantly – He even has the Holy Spirit bring it to remembrance when we need it.
 [Luke 4:1-4 NKJV] 1Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, "IF You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." 4 But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' ”
Our testing compares to Jesus’ it’s for a short time, a season, not as Jesus was tested for 40 days, or His 3 ½ year ministry, death and resurrection – See Isaiah 53:2-6 for His trials.  And all through His testing, we see; several things happening here;
1.     Jesus received the Holy Spirit: when He was born and the Power, before He started His Ministry.
The Holy Spirits’ job is to led, guide, comfort, teach, renew our mind, in how to; walk in fellowship with Christ, we’re empowered to stand in the presence of the twerp [satan] and defeat him.  Often the Holy Spirit will tell us what to say in situations.  He’s also our anointing and the POWER of GOD within us.
[1Co 2:13 NKJV] “These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
[Luke 12:12 NKJV] "For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.
I know times were hard when we were younger, but now that we are so close to Jesus’ coming for us, the twerp is on a fast track to destroy us.  We’re weaker when we do not have the knowledge of the Word.  We’re stronger spiritually when we have the wisdom to use His Word.  We can and must take authority of that little rat for our families and loved ones sake.
[1John 2:27 NKJV] “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.”
But the temptation had to be done, because Jesus came in the flesh as we are, to prove we in the flesh could overcome too.  The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the temptation, but He wasn’t alone, but Jesus received the DUMAS POWER FROM ABBA.  This is how we abide in Him.
2.     The twerp said with each temptation:IF YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD” he wanted Jesus to reveal an ego or pride so He’d sin. 
3.     Yet, Jesus always replied:IT IS WRITTEN” then gave the twerp a Scriptural answer. Could you tell the twerp, what the Script says?  Luke 12:12 says He’ll tell you what to say.
a.      The power of our words manifest spiritually when we speak His Word, especially when were are told what to say. 
[Isaiah 55:11 NKJV]  “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper [in the thing] for which I sent it.”
a.      That’s how Jesus fought the twerp, so should we.
4.      “You do not need that anyone teach you.”  Being a teacher that one is hard for me, but I will tell you it was the Holy Spirit who taught me, which I share with you.  I was married to a Southern Baptist Minister, who didn’t believe in the GIFTS of the Spirit.  Yet the more I read and re-read the Bible I saw the authority we received from Christ; in healing, binding/loosening, casting out demons, intercessory prayers this and so much more I learned.  But most importantly the relationship I had with my Lord Jesus.  He taught me “HOW TO” and I hope that you’ve had some of the manifestations in your life, I’ve had.
a.      From the time He had me learning, I was sharing what worked with others.  I was actually fulfilling Revelation 12:11I over came by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony….”  Jesus also said:
[John 17:20-22 NKJV] 20 "I [Jesus] do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 "that they all may be one, as You, Father, [are] in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:”  
So you see, IF you believe in Christ and you know and speak His Word, you are one with Him NOW!  He’s also given you the Glory that Abba gave Him.  Did you know you are that powerful?
In these later days, time seems to be flying by; where one day it’s January 1st and it seems you turn around and it’s June 30th then its November 25th the days are speedily passing us by.  God has shortened the days, or even the elect wouldn’t make it.  Times will be that hard, once the twerp takes over.
[Matthew 24:22, 24 NKJV] 22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. ... 24 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”
I use to use Proverbs 3:5-7 as my mantra and some days I still do.  It quiets my spirit when I remember to trust the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding.  Especially since I live in the physical world and the twerp is in the spiritual realm.  I constantly seem to need the reminder.
Now, I’ve found another scripture I’m confessing nightly.  Sometimes the twerp's verbal attacks can hurt badly, but with this scripture - it no longer matters.
[Isaiah 54:17 NKJV]  “No weapon formed against you [me] shall prosper, And every tongue [which] rises against you in judgment You [God] shall condemn. This [is] the heritage [my right] of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness [is] from Me," Says the LORD.”
Every one knows the first part, But I believe knowing the rest is vital in knowing our God.  IT’S MY HERITAGE, AS HIS SERVANT/CHILD, that if someone comes against me in judgment, GOD ALMIGHTY, because I’M HIS righteousness, will take care of that issue for me – His battle, my victory.  PTL!
See what I mean about OUR GOD is a GOOD GOD.  He always takes care of us, because we’re so blessed in being His!
Keep the faith, YOU ARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TOO!

Blessings to all who read the blog and who “study to show yourself approved, in His Word”
