How To Breeze Through The Coming Crisis!

.

Part 8:

**“Pray Without Ceasing!”**

To read Part 1, click here… “May 7 (Psalm 1: How To Breeze Through The Coming Crisis)”

.

“Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks:

for this is the will of God

in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

1st Thessalonians 5:16-18

.

In the last devotional on how to breeze through the coming trials (Click here to read), it was put forth that we must joyfully give thanks for all things, because all things are meant for our eternal good.

.

And we must be instant in prayer.

BREEZING THROUGH THE TIME OF TROUBLE

.

But today’s devotional will highlight one of those three admonitions which will guide us, and breeze us through that soon-coming tempest.

.

Listen…“…Pray without ceasing…” 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18

.

Here is a very important ingredient to living victoriously through the coming storm, just ahead!

“…that without ceasing I (Paul) have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day”

2nd Timothy 1:3

.

This above verse from 2nd Timothy gives great insight into Paul’s prayer-life. His spiritual son, Timothy was continually remembered by Paul, in his daily prayers, both day and night.

.

This means that Paul was constantly in prayer throughout his each and every day…and night!

REJOICE, PRAY, AND GIVE THANKS!

.

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.” Revelation 15:2

.

Oh yes, it will be a massive and terrible storm! But if the Believer wishes to stand on that sea of glass, and have that harp of David’s Psalms, then these “How To Breeze Through The Time of Trouble” articles are extremely critical to read and to put into action!

.

And these three admonitions, to “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you”, are every bit as important as all the other ingredients, in enabling Christians to breeze through this time of trouble coming soon upon the earth!

“I MADE HASTE, AND DELAYED NOT TO KEEP THY COMMANDMENTS”

Psalm 119:60

.

**And so, O–sorely-tried-child-of-faith, it is critically important to begin putting these three admonitions into action right now! Don’t wait until the soon-coming storm begins to rage!**

.

**In other words, when each daily trial and tribulation arises, we must begin right now to, “rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, and in every thing give thanks”.**

.

And by so-doing, our great distress and consternation over our supposed troubles will evaporate like the morning dew on a sunny day!

“I TAKE PLEASURE IN INFIRMITIES, ETC…”

.

And let’s not forget what the Apostle, Paul said concerning his own trials and troubles…“And He (God) said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2nd Corinthians 12:9, 10

.

Yes, the very same faith which Paul had, can also be ours if we want it!

SKETCH: EASTERN SKY

Here in this sketch is when these constellations are in the eastern sky in early winter. Satan spews out his false worldly ideologies, which many of these ideologies have a form of godliness. On the other hand, the Strait Gate (Narrow Gate) is composed of the two brightest stars of the Orion The Reaper’s sickle. God’s Word, the Bible is that sickle. The true Strait Gate is God’s Word, the Bible. As a sickle harvests the wheat, so God’s Word will gather precious souls to Him.

.

NARROW GATE AND WIDE GATE CONSTELLATIONS WITH REVELATION 12 WOMAN: This is how these three constellations appear when just above the eastern horizon. The woman, however appears more in her upright “Fleeing” position than this sketch shows. It is somewhat of an optical illusion because of the “canopy effect” of the night sky. So it is impossible to sketch this on a flat surface. Nevertheless, this sketch shows this woman appearing to be drawn toward these two warriors; the Reaper, of course is Orion . The Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation is not a commonly recognized constellation. His mouth is made of The Hyades Cluster of Taurus, and the tip of his tail is The Pleiades Cluster. The two bright stars on Orion The Reaper’s sickle is the Narrow Gate. And the two bright stars of the Dragon’s wave of water is the Wide Gate. When in the eastern sky it is not so clear as to which Gate she will enter. Woman is commonly known as Ursa Major (or the Great Bear or The Big Dipper)
