The cure for hardship
Published on June 5, 2006 By jesseledesma In Religion
I say that we have a lot of time yet before the end of the world, as we know it. I try to pay attention to the leaders in the Christian community professional opinions on Christ return and the end of the current world.

What I have gathered is that there are conditions that must exist before the time believers go up to meet Jesus in the clouds and God returns the world back to its Adam and Eve conditions.

Most Christian ministers give me the impression that they believe Christ is coming back right this instance. I disagree. I know he will come back, but I sense it will way after I have left this world.

In fact, the events of the last days will actually take place over a millennium and I do not believe last time prophesies have begun. We do see a lot of hardship. However, there has always been trials and tribulation.

The reason I write on this subject today is that if the world is not going to come to an end then what is the person living in these times to do in his her life.

In my opinion, what God wanted from Adam is what He wants from us. The hard times that are coming are going to be very difficult for the average person who does not have Jesus Christ as his lord and savior.

It will be even harder for the believer. The enemy of God has already won with the lost. Therefore, he will try to break the spirit of the believer.

In this road to the beginning of the end, the believer is going to have to rely heavily on his or her faith.

In addition, marriage, parenthood, civic responsibilities, service in church, and everything else in the basics of life still count.

Therefore, to all of you, who feel like a specific demon has infected your soul, life is waiting for you.

Cursing your condition or loosing hope is not going to help. I would offer to you that regardless of your status in life you keep an eye on the price.

Christ does not only need people who say I am a Christian and that is all they do. God needs husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, church staff, good citizens, and sincere people who honestly love God and willingly serve him.

I think what is coming next will be very hard to deal with in life. However, I do not think I will be alive when true end time prophecies really begin.

This thought is a double-edged blessing. It gives time but time is a sinner’s worst enemy. Many think they wait until tomorrow to settle their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Remember none of us knows when we are going to die. I have learned that there are only two places for the soul. There is heaven and there is hell.

I never knew the soul is eternal until recently. Strange how some simple concepts go in our brains and take a seat in the back. Well the Bible says the soul is eternal. The only question is where will you spend that eternity.

The people who know they are saved know where they will spend eternity.

The rest, I hope you give that God you talk to a chance to open your, eyes, open your heart, and fill you with the Holy Spirit.

When end times do start all will suffer greatly. The Holy Spirit will comfort believers.

Non-believers will only have their own wits to help them. If you think things are difficult now, you have not seen anything.

I hope you give God a chance and rest your hope in Him. He wont let you down.
