I heard Pastor David Jeremiah yesterday speak about perseverance,
and how as we go through trials and overcome them, it strengthens us to be able to stand in
an unshakable manner for Him. We become non-reactive to trials in life. It brings about an
understanding that Jesus is enough!

Romans 5:4 states, "...and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;"
It made me think of Revelation 3:10 "Because you did obey my message about
persevering, I will keep you from the time of trial coming upon the whole world to
put the people living on earth to the test."

Check out 2 Peter 3 where Peter talks about the end times, and in verse 14b says, "...be
diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;..." The Lord said this to
me a couple months ago..."Examine yourself that you may be found spotless," and I thought
it was odd and not in the Word, but it is, and it is in regards to the final days before the Lord
Jesus comes.

The main argument and misunderstanding going in on the body of Christ is regarding
Salvation vs the Rapture.
Salvation vs the Rapture.
We are on this earth for refinement so we can rule and reign with Jesus - correct? Enoch
was taken out because HE LOVED GOD! Did the Lord take all men that believed in God out
before the flood? No...just Enoch (the representation of the Bride of Christ). The same is
with the Rapture....if we need more refinement, then we just may have to stay longer.
This is actually a blessing to believers to have this second chance to know their God as we the Bride of Christ know Him now! The Apostle Peter states in 2 Peter 3:17a, "You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;...." Please read 2 Peter 3 with the understanding that we must be found spotless (have gained perseverance) to gain what is promised to Believers in the book of Revelation!was taken out because HE LOVED GOD! Did the Lord take all men that believed in God out
before the flood? No...just Enoch (the representation of the Bride of Christ). The same is
with the Rapture....if we need more refinement, then we just may have to stay longer.
