The "Christians" who are living in pleasure today do not enjoy being with Christ's true saints. They do not understand why the true saint keeps himself from the world and the lusts of the flesh with such diligence. But the lovers of pleasure, Christian or not, will fail in the hour of testing that even now is upon us. The true saints will be preserved by the Lord Jesus.

The Lord Jesus advised us:

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (Luke 21:36)

If we will continue in prayer, faithfully keeping the word of Christ's patience, we will be kept from spiritual harm no matter what takes place upon the earth. In due time we will be brought into the Presence of Christ with exceedingly great joy.

To the elect:

"The Lord Jesus loves you with an everlasting love. His eye is on you continually. There is not a thought in your mind, a motive in your heart that does not interest your Lord."

"He will bring you through the waters of tribulation but they will not go over your head. He will guide you through the flames of persecution but the fire will destroy nothing except your bondages."

"Look only to your Lord. Do not fret yourself because of those who are practicing wickedness. Do not be anxious when you see the judgment of God fall on every side. Do not for one moment remove your eyes from Christ."

"Patiently bear your cross as Christ bore His. Keep your eyes steadfastly on the joy that has been set before you, on the eternal pleasures at the Father's right hand. This is how Jesus endured the cross."

"The enemy was defeated on the cross of Calvary. Only a few more hours, a few more patient steps, and you will be in the Presence of the Lord with joy and glory you could not even understand in the present hour. If you will fight the battle alongside Him now, you will dine at His table when He comes in His Kingdom."

"Be of good cheer. Jesus is coming soon!" (from Revelation 3:10)
