Standing together

Had a couple of heart rending conversations with a couple friends who have been being used of God greatly in ministry and last night the Lord showed me that there are many who are on the verge of quitting because of one of satans chief tools in his arsenal against the move of God in these last days; Lies! One guy told me the lies stemmed from before his salvation even...Many times due to a variety of ploys and reasons good, Godly men and women of God are attacked by outright lies of the enemy. Whether jealousy, envy, bitterness, rejection, or open hate and a slew of other reasons Leadership is under attack. Let me encourage you... No lie or attack can force you to quit. You must persevere even if it means surrounding yourself with new people and beginning again. Your destiny is in God not the hands of tools of satan. Davids destiny was never in the hands of Saul.... Gods got this !! Dont quit, we need you now.... and remember Paul said, " 2 Corinthians 7:2
2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man" Your Life before your salvation is Completely UNDER THE BLOOD...... Move forward.. Press on... Change associates... whatever you feel led of God to do BUT DO NOT QUIT.... If God has called you you must fulfill that call... Angie and I will stand with you. We have had an apple out of this bag and know first hand the delivering power of God!! The Lord showed me there are many many dealing with this so I am posting this on all our sites. Email us, let us stand with you.. office@acts2618.com. please dont message me on FB I dont check it often.... (I also know some great attorneys if need be,) We have to stand together against the devil in these last days..

A quote by Spurgeon on Suffering

We are told that the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering, therefore we who are sinful, and who are far from being perfect, must not wonder if we are called to pass through suffering too. Shall the head be crowned with thorns, and shall the other members of the body be rocked upon the dainty lap of ease? Must Christ pass through seas of his own blood to win the crown, and are we to walk to heaven dryshod in silver slippers? No, our Master’s experience teaches us that suffering is necessary, and the true-born child of God must not, would not, escape it if he might. —Charles Spurgeon

The term “sanctification” is a common buzzword in many Christian circles, and it is rightly associated with the teaching that Christ’s disciples are being made holy by the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. However, we must not limit ourselves to a merely abstract and cognitive understanding of this doctrine. Rather, God’s Word calls us to recognize that sanctification is a present reality in our daily experiences. Whenever we encounter hardship and opposition in life, we can rest in the assurance that God’s Spirit is working through it to make us more like Jesus Christ.
