Friend at all times....?

"A friend loves at all times and a brother was born for adversity" - Proverbs 17:17

God knows that sometimes we need other people to help us go through our hard times. But only our sisters and brothers in Christ. They will understand because we are part of the same family. (SEE 1 Corinthians 12:26). They will also be acting according to scripture. "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God" - 1 John 4:7. Not everyone who you are friends with is actually a Christian. They may seem to know God but don't let that distract you. If they are not acting like Jesus, (SEE Phillipians 2:5) they are not your brother or sister in Christ. If they are, they would love to go through your hard times with you and not abandon you in them. "There is a time to cry and a time to laugh. There is a time to be sad and a time to dance" - Ecclesiastes 3:4. But, after these troubles, will you still go with God? Even in the happy times? And only go to Him in bad times? It's either your in our out. (SEE Matthew 13) Which are You?

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
