How Long Will God Continued? by Myra Boozer

How long will God continue in His mercy and give this country time to Repent? How long will He wait? We do not know! He has given individuals time to fall before Him in repentance for their sins. But for a Nation to go against His laws and commands is a different story. I feel judgment is coming on America for all the sin that is parading around as something good when it is an abomination! Not only in this country, but other countries are defying the laws of God. God will not wait long! He will do as He has done in the past. I think JUDGMENT will come quickly.

Some may go through the fire and call upon His Name, being purified by the fire. Others will continue in sin and will regret that they have NOT taken the time to repent when the Spirit was pleading and convicting their hearts.

Many Christians, saints of God, are giving their lives today and suffering much persecution because they have not denied the Name of Christ. Then there is the rest of the living righteous, the blood-bought Church, the Body of Christ, who has made herself ready. She will be taken in a moment and twinkling of an eye to meet the Bridegroom.

There were seven Churches of Asia that are written about in the first three chapters of Revelation. Jesus named the things that He had against six of the churches and asked them to repent. He was telling them to listen to what the SPIRIT HAD TO SAY TO THEM, BUT NOTICE the Church in Philadelphia. He said in Rev. 3:8, “I know thy works: behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, (his), and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation...” (2 Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly, out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”) Rev. 3:10b, “...which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY; hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”

Notice Rev. 4....and see what John has to say about seeing the open door...saw the throne and the four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment (clothes) and had their crowns on their heads...the crown that Jesus said, "Let no man take thy crown." Praise the Lord! He is coming...BE READY for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man is coming...How Long Will God Continue? 

How Can I Be Sure Of My Salvation?

There are not too many things in this world that a person can be sure of, and because of that, an attitude of skepticism and pessimism is prevalent. Governments are crumbling, economic systems are falling apart, and political systems are failing.

This skepticism and pessimism must not prevail in the life of a Christian. A skeptic is a doubter, and a pessimist always expects the worst. These behavioral traits can drive a person’s life and are the opposite of faith and trust. God is still in control. He has not relinquished any of His power or authority to any other entity. His plan is still on schedule and will not be delayed by the disobedience of mankind. If anything, the sin and degradation of man will hasten the judgment of God. He is presently working all things for His Divine Purpose. We can rejoice in His calm assurance if we have put our faith and trust in Him.

How can we live a calm and assured life when our world and everything in it is falling apart? Paul gives us some insight in his first letter to Timothy. 1 Timothy 2:1, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time...8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”

Paul’s exhortation to Timothy and to us is to pray and intercede before God for all men, “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” Live right before God and pray in faith, believing that God is still in control. If we know Jesus Christ, we can be sure of our salvation through Him. God says so in His Word, and He cannot lie!

Our salvation by faith in the blood of Jesus is not based upon shaky or unreliable evidence. 1John 9:5, “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” There is the witness of man, and there is the witness of God. God says that He has provided us eternal life through His Son Jesus. The witness of God is greater!

The new birth opens within us a new awareness of the Spirit. There is peace and love that fills our hearts that only comes from God. We have new desires, new ambitions, and a new outlook on life. Thank God for that inward witness! Receive His promise, live in His provision, and Be Sure Of Your Salvation!
