Every day we must do a SPIRITUAL check up to ensure that we are living in FAITH and NOT in Fear. To be in the FAITH is to have the LOVE OF GOD and JESUS CHRIST in us. “For ye are all the [CHILDREN OF GOD] by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).

“[FOR GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR]; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

“[THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE]; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. [HE THAT FEARETH IS NOT MADE PERFECT IN LOVE]” (1 John 4:18).

“[HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD; FOR GOD IS LOVE]” (1 John 4:8).

The Apostle Paul also said: “[EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER] ye be in the [FAITH]; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that [JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU]?” (2 Corinthians 13:5).

“[WHO HATH SAVED US, AND CALLED US WITH AN HOLY CALLING], not according to our works, but [ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE], which was [GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN]” (2 Timothy 1:9).

“The Lord knoweth them that are his” (2 Timothy 2:19).                                      

“Now if any man has [NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS]” (Romans 8:9).

The disciple John further expressed how to check whether someone in in the FAITH, said: “BELOVED, [BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, BUT TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD]: because many [FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD]. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: [EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSETH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH IS OF GOD]: And [EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSETH NOT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH IS NOT OF GOD: AND THIS IS THAT SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST], whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world” (1 John 4:1-3).

“They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.

Hereby know we the [SPIRIT OF TRUTH], and the spirit of error” (1 John 4:5-6).

Our Lord JESUS asks: “Nevertheless when the Son of man [COMETH], shall he find [FAITH] on the earth? (Luke 18:8).

“[BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR] the word of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:28).

“[EVERY ONE THAT IS OF THE TRUTH HEARETH MY VOICE]” (John 18:19).

“[MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME]: And [I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE]; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:27-30).

“[HE THAT HATH RECEIVED HIS TESTIMONY HATH SET TO HIS SEAL THAT GOD IS TRUE]. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 0 Son, and hath given all things into his hand” (John 3:33–35).

“[IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH]; the flesh profiteth nothing: [THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE]” (John 6:63).

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but [MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY]” (Matthew 24:35).

“[FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK]; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

We are in the midst of a SPIRITUAL WAR that is going to get very TUMULTUOS in the COMING year leading to the END OF YEARS! DO NOT underestimate the enemy because he knows his TIME IS SHORT and that TME IS COMING TO AN END (Matthew 8:28–29) (Revelation 12:9, 16:17).

Peter, Jesus’ disciple encourages us when he said: “[BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT]; because your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

Also, every day we must remind ourselves of the words of the Apostle Paul who said: “I have fought a [GOOD FIGHT], I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil” (Romans 13:3).

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:13-17).

“NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the [COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST], and by our [GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM], That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2).

“Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on [ETERNAL LIFE]” (1 Timothy 6:19).

“[FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE], whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” (1 Timothy 6:12).

Therefore, let us fight “A GOOD FIGHT,” “KEEP THE FAITH”, and finish our course to the END!

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Philippians 4:23).
