“Have I Not Said That You Must Endure to the End?”
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved,” Matthew 24:9-13.
“Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of The LORD, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of The LORD; that The LORD is very pitiful, and of tender mercy,’ James 5:10-11.
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3.
“For this we say to you by the word of The LORD, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of The LORD will by no means precede those who are asleep. For The LORD Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet The LORD in the air. And thus we shall always be with The LORD,” 1 Thessalonians 4.15-17.
“What would I say to a people who have gone far from Me? What could be said?
How can a people prepare for what is ahead, when they have chosen to believe that they will be taken out of this world before these great trials begin?
Have I not said that you must endure to the end?
Have I not said that I will be your source of protection?
There is so much confusion within the body of Christ. Yes, I will save you from the wrath that is to come.
The great pestilence that is coming will be for those who have chosen to take the mark of the beast; but you must remain in Me to be protected.
There are many that believe that they will not go through any form of persecution. And yet, was I not persecuted?
I will be with you always. I will never forsake you. When the great trials come upon this earth I will be your source of protection.
When nations fall and rise again, I will be your stay. When the seas rise and the cities are toppled, I will be with you.
When the almighty dollar fails, I will provide for you. When the prices rise and you find it difficult to live from day-to-day, I will be your manna as in the wilderness.
Your great nation will be divided right down the middle. The lakes will pour into the great river you call the Mississippi. The geography of your nation will have changed. But many of you will have found shelter.
But you say, “That day will not come upon us;” you say that “We will be ‘raptured’ out before these things even begin!”
You have been taught things that are not true.
You have followed preachers and teachers who have coddled you. But if instead you had chosen to sit at My Feet, then you would have known The Truth.
It should be plain to many that you are living in the very last of days.
It should be plain to many that false preachers and teachers abound around you.
It should be plain to many that the monetary system is failing — and yet many naysayers abound.
You must be ‘wise in Me,'” says The LORD.
“You must follow the narrow path that is before you.
You must not be upset by this report or that one. For I will be a light on the path before you.
The road will become even more difficult in the days ahead, but I have asked you to follow the ancient paths.
There the rocks and the trees will be a path before you. There I will illuminate the path before you.”
Selah,

Dear Stephen,
The Word you received on Oct 11 2008 might explain to some why it is so important to endure to the end.
Warm regards

To be a new creature in God s kingdom demands that you speak and believe God s word over your life. To be at war with the enemy demands that you speak God s words you must be infused with God s words for the shield of faith to quench all the tempting thoughts. The flow of living your life by the word of God is you will be in His presence or you will be anointed by God (presence anointing the same thing) this presence is the river of living water that removes burdens and destroys yolks takes people out of the pit they have fallen in. There would appear to be this other fantasy Christianity that one can be beaten into submission and that oppression by demonic forces produces the new creature you be the judge
Very true! I see no other message for a quick escape. Many Christians are suffering right now all around the world for their faith. Should it be any different for us?
YES. Must Endure to the End.
I will be like you Jesus .Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Thank you Stephen ! I’m trying to wake the church up as well as tell non-believers…however just about everyone looks at me like I’m insane.
We who know Jesus have gone through many persecutions…rejection ..abandonment…shamed and loneliness…such is the life…as I understand it the persecutions of the Anti Christ are for those who don’t believe..so they will see that Jesus is who they want and need…why should the body who does already believe and lives life with Jesus as Lord have to be included? Doesn’t make sence to me. S0 who is coming back on white horses with Jesus when he returns?
Read His word and ask Him why. The word is very clear that we will be part of the tribulation.
Totally agree Charles, the body needs to be tried and tested. Satan doesn’t need to attack non believers, they are already his, it’s believers that he is after.
Mary Jo Sanchez Love these type of question shows you are awake and studying to show yourself approved you are not busy trying to prove someone else. Out of rev 17 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. What follows is the white horses you spoke of, being invited to the marriage supper is a blessed invitation but not everyone gets invited, there are those who are in Heaven who have not overcome the wicked one they are still in the army fighting which is what is said about the white horse army. Understanding Jesus complete conquest of the devil at the cross and developing Jesus in us is the new and living creature which you see around the throne of God (flying eagle church dispensation) the great mountain of Daniel that began as one stone not cut out with hands but through faith in God word built like Jesus not Adam who was formed and breathed into and fell, freewill in flesh cannot be made perfect as God showed us
Amen
