Therefore encourage one another with these words<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Throughout scripture we are told of tribulation and the coming of the Lord. \u00a0Why does God tell us this? \u00a0I have to think it is to encourage our faith and to trust Him to lead us through everyday of our life for the blessing of not only our life on earth but also for ETERNITY. \u00a0 I think there are times we lose sight of eternity through the busyness of our daily lives. \u00a0We get so caught up in the here and now that we forget His promise of eternity. \u00a0It seems so easy to drift away and live luke warm lives instead of abundantly for Him. \u00a0What is the prevention and cure to this way of life? Continually repent and stand in His grace. \u00a0Desire Him with all your heart, mind and soul. \u00a0Live each day to bring honor and glory to Him. \u00a0Learn to be a humble servant. \u00a0Learn to give more than you get. \u00a0(for the record you will never be able to out give God but it is sure rewarding to try) \u00a0Learn to hear His voice speak to your heart. \u00a0Stay in scripture always. \u00a0Speak of His grace, mercy and love everyday. \u00a0Seek to be His vessel to use for His glory and honor. Rejoice in this life no matter what. Learn to forgive. \u00a0Be at peace with all as far as it concerns you. \u00a0Rely on, trust in, and cling to Him alone. \u00a0Know the difference between scripture and culture – there is a big difference. \u00a0Do not try to perform your way to God. \u00a0And in all things give thanks.<\/p>\n

Matthew 24:29
\n\u201cImmediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Thessalonians 4:16
\nFor the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 15:51
\nI tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:<\/strong>
\n \u201cDeath is swallowed up in victory.\u201d<\/strong>
\n \u201cO death, where is your victory?<\/strong>
\n O death, where is your sting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Revelation 11:15
\nThen the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, \u201cThe kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.\u201d<\/strong> And the twenty- four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying,
\n\u201cWe give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,<\/strong>
\n who is and who was,<\/strong>
\n for you have taken your great power<\/strong>
\n and begun to reign.<\/strong>
\n The nations raged,<\/strong>
\n but your wrath came,<\/strong>
\n and the time for the dead to be judged<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
