Encouraged in Christ
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
You get scared. And that’s the reason scare, a scare, fear companies doubt.
Love companies faith. I love my Father. I’m not afraid of Him, because I love Him. He wouldn’t hurt me. He will do good for me. If I was scared of Him, and, “Oh, I don’t know whether He will do it, or not.” See?
But if I love Him, “Yes, Father, I—I love You. And I know You’re—You’re my Father, and You love me, and I’m not afraid but what You’ll keep Your Word. It’s Your promise to me.” That’s the way the Spirit of God does.
“But, oh, if I did this, if I did that.” See, there you come to the legal side, again. Never go to the legal side. It’s negative.
The positive side is what you want. It’s already a finished work. Christ died, and the sin was killed when He died. And if God foreordained you to Eternal Life, “All the Father has given Me, will come to Me.” There you are, can’t be lost. You’re secured forever. “For by one Spirit we’re all baptized into one Body, and by one sacrifice He has perfected forever.” There you are. There’s no way for us to lose. Correctly. Now, don’t it make you feel good?

“Lay aside everything. Just get as close to God as you can. Walk with Him, talk with Him. Let everything else be secondary but your prayer life. Stay right with Him all the time.” WMB
“Pongan todo a un lado. Sólo acérquense a Dios todo lo que puedan. Camine con Él, hable con Él. Deje que todo lo demás sea secundario a su vida de oración. Quédense con Él todo el tiempo.” WMB
”To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.“
Isaiah 61:3
“God likened His eagles—or His heritage to His eagles. Let’s take what the eagle does. Another thing the eagle does…And when he builds his nest, he builds it way high. I’ve watched them when they get to the highest point that they can get to to built their nest.
That’s likened unto the Church of the living God. It makes its stand for the highest ambitions, and the highest thoughts, and the holiest things, away from the earthbound thing. That’s where the Church takes her stand, on the highest pinnacle she can stand on: That’s on Calvary, the Cross of the Lord Jesus.” WMB

“For Every Valley There’s A Lily”
Song of Encouragement“For Every Valley There’s A Lily”
In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls above me, and there’s no hiding place.
‘Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Many times Satan whispered, “There is no need to try,
For there’s no end of sorrow, there’s no hope by and by”
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I’ll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.
When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they be quiet;
So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalm 107:28-31

Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion
With our dear loved ones who’ve gone before
In that fair homeland we’ll know no parting
Beyond the sunset forevermore
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”
Ephesians 2:8
