RHEMA 8/02/12 ENDURANCE

QUICKENED WORD:  ENDURANCE

Today I pondered the word “Endurance” and realized how important that word is for preparation of end time events.  The Lord has been preparing a generation who were raised in the wilderness, testing their faith.  The remnant that has run their race and not allowed their love to grow cold, are overcoming!!

Matt 24:13 NKJV

But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 

WORD O GRAM:  ENDURANCE 8/02/12

Enduring with cheerful hope,

Nor forsaking my faith, but

Deepening my roots while

Undergoing trials, I

Refuse my love to grow cold;

Always hoping, believing and enduring all things.

Needing to bear up and undergo, I

Continue to abide with patience, because

Enduring this life, I will reign with Him.

1 Cor 9:24-27 NKJV

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Heb 12:1-2 NKJV

…let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising (ignoring) the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

Phil 3:13-16 NKJV

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

Matt 13:20-22 NKJV

But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;  21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 

Matt 24:12-14 NKJV

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.  13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

1 Cor 3:11-15

For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15

1 Cor 13:4-7

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

…patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure..

2 Tim 2:12

If we endure, We shall also reign with Him.

Heb 6:13-16

For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you."  15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 1

James 5:10-11

My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. 11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord — that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

1 Peter 1:23-25

Not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,  24 because "All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away,  25 But the word of the Lord endures forever."

CONFIRMATION:  QUOTE NEVILLE JOHNSON  8/10/12: “It is not a race to be the first one to get across the finish line  It is a race to endure.  If you endure til the end, you won.”
