As the signs of Matthew 24 become more and more apparent with each passing year, it also becomes evident that the time of probation in terms of accepting the loving sacrifice of Christ becomes more and more precious.
We as followers of Christ have a highly important task of spreading the untainted, pure and Holy Spirit guided news of salvation to the masses of the world. Whether the world accepts it or not is a matter that is left to the individual. We also have the responsibility of continually running the race of life, so that an eternal inheritance beyond the darkness of these days may be found. Nothing could be more precious. As the natural disasters, outbreaks of disease (i.e. Ebola), war and financial collapse continually shape the nature of these days, and will worsen to the likes we have never seen - we are called upon by the Lord to lift our heads to the clouds of heaven, and take joy; as our redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28.)
Our sin will no longer be hidden, all will be revealed. We must not fall into error! Christ is the picture of what God is changing each regenerated believer into. We will be judged by the condition of our hearts. God is looking for a pure heart, a sound mind, and a clear conscious. It is what we have been changed into that matters. We must die to ourselves and be purified by the Holy Spirit, and then we will be ready to stand before the judgment seat of Christ. We must be purified by faith. God uses trials and difficulties to purify us. You may not receive from God if you are self-centered and if you do not walk by faith. A proud heart blocks the blessings of God. To submit to God is the answer, to obey Him, and subject ourselves to Him. We must come to God or we will not receive His mercy. We cannot hope for the favor of God if we remain distant from Him. You will not receive the desires of your heart unless you agree with His will. We must know and do what God commands us to do. God teaches each believer through the Holy Spirit. God will not allow anyone to be lost unless they ignore and rebel against what the Holy Spirit is saying. Acknowledge your sin before God and do His will. We must live for Him and die to all sin within us. If the Holy Spirit is pointing out sin within us we will have no assurance. Is the old man crucified in me?

I am QueenBeck, a deaf minister longing to win souls to Jesus. My desire is to encourage those who have lost hope to see themselves as God sees them. God once called me a Princess. It took awhile for me to truly see myself as that. When I did and walked in confidence, I began to minister to other women about their worth and how God sees them as a Princess. One day, through my faithfulness, God promoted me. He revealed that to lead and help other women see themselves as a princess, I must advance to Queen.
Have you ever struggled with the assurance of salvation? Often times it is our faith that causes us to doubt our assurance. This is seen the greatest in sufferings - emotional or physical. We go through depression, despair, and even the dark night of the soul. We all struggle with the question of assurance especially we are suffering.
This is a majestic song written by Ross King and Todd Wright, and recorded by The Newsboys. Wow, sonically this song is wonderful, and the lyrics are very moving and inspiring. This is what it's all about.
An evocative song from Francesca's album "If We're Honest". Sorry, I made this video from a woman's point of view, all of the pictures are of women, but the topic also applies to men, of course.
