Faith – The Victory That Has Overcome The World
1 John 5:4

Friends, I, along with many of you, are experiencing
diverse trials and testings.
You may be experiencing extremely stressful
circumstances accompanied with much fear, hopelessness, and anxiety.
Yet, let us take to heart the words of the
great apostle Peter, “In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a
little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that
the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable,
even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and
honor at the revelation of YAHshua Messiah (Jesus Christ)” (1 Peter 1:6-7).
“Beloved, do not be surprised at the
fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing…” (1 Peter 4:12).
“He knows the way I take; When He has
tried me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10).
YAHveh is “the author and finisher of
our faith” (Hebrews 12:2 KJV) and it is through many hardships (and trials) that
we enter the kingdom of heaven (see Acts 14:22).
Great perseverance will be required for those who are
going to endure in these last days.
Apostle Paul says, “For you have need
of endurance [perseverance — you need to hold onto your confidence] so that
when you have done the will of YAHveh (God), you may receive what was promised”
(Hebrews 10:36).
YAHveh’s words through the prophet
Jeremiah are to be taken to heart, "If you have run with footmen and
they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down
in a land of peace, How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?” (Jeremiah 12:5)
In simple terms if you can’t keep up with the footmen
in a time of peace how are you going to keep up with the horsemen in a time of
war as it is prophesied and unfolding as a reality across this globe?
Apostle Paul stated, “… physical
training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding
promise for both the present life and the life to come” (1 Timothy 4:8).
YAHveh (the LORD) wants us to be focused and
exercising the fruits of the spirit of self-control and self-discipline
regarding our spiritual diets and exercises that build up patient endurance
under sufferings, trials and tribulations this will lead us to being
spiritually ready for His return.
If we cannot start our spiritual diet and
exercise program now, it is foolishness to think that we are going to be able
to keep up with the horseman as the shofar is sounding the alert from heaven, “Make
way make way, the judgments are at the door!”
We are going to need to have the vigor in the Spirit
and the endurance to keep up with the horseman because peace is being slowly
but surely removed from the earth.
YAHshua said, "We must work the
works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can
work” (John 9:4).
Apostle Paul said, “make the most of
every opportunity” (Colossians 4:5), and “do not be foolish, but understand (be wise)
what the Lord's will is” (Ephesians 5:17).
How are you going to endure to the end of your
appointed days on earth?
Our beloved Savior plainly said, "But
the one who endures to the end, he will be saved” (Matthew 24:13).
“I will give [him-her] the crown of life” (Revelation
2:10).
They will receive the crown of righteousness, the
just reward for not growing weary of well doing.
“This is the victory that has overcome
the world—our faith” (1
John 5:4) for without it we cannot stand and
patiently endure and thus please YAHveh much less endure victoriously to the
end.

is a global non-profit organization that focuses on unlocking Biblical truths,
reestablishing holiness, and upholding righteousness to draw you closer to the
Almighty in this late hour. We have been faithfully serving the global
Messianic and Christian communities for over thirty years. The big question we
pose and help you answer is the following: “Are you ready and waiting for your
glorious soon coming Savior?” We believe the hour is late and YAHshua (Jesus)
said now is the day of salvation - if you hear his voice do not harden your
heart. Simply, it's nearly midnight. Indeed, the clock is ticking, the grains
of sand are falling in the hourglass; very little time is left! We are
exhorted “to redeem the time for the days are evil.” (Ephesians
5:16) An important question is – What are you doing that is of eternal
value at this most critical juncture in world history and its threshold into
eternity? As such, the Mighty One, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
is wooing a remnant, both Jews and Gentiles, to be reconciled to Him and one
another, a righteous remnant, who will know and worship Him in spirit and in
truth.
