How much harder will it get? What helps me?
I wished I could say it will be easier, but I can’t. I can tell you that you can mature in faith and move in His rest! Hebrews 4:9-11 and 6:1. Worship helps me! The secret place time with God helps me! The Word of God helps me!
We can’t seem to go more than a week or two in this world before the next catastrophic event. You must know who is in control! Hebrews 1:3
What’s missing? There is the absence of the sacred and holy. There is the lack of the fear of God in the land. Nothing is respected. Humanity glorifies the wrong things. You are here on this earth to glorify God! Ephesians 1:4, 12; Jeremiah 9:24
What changes your level of maturity in Christ? The depth of the cross laid to your self life! Romans: 6, 7, and 8, Galatians 2:20
If Jesus is the answer what are the questions? Will you die one day ? YES. Are you a sinner? YES. Is there a judgment day? YES. Do you need a Savior to enter heaven? YES. Whoever calls on the name of Jesus Christ shall be saved. Romans 10:13
Is your reward here or is it stored and waiting in eternity? Some things I willingly lay down or give up here in this life in order to lay up riches in Heaven. God sees your pursuit of Him in place of pursuing and coveting things. I believe He gives it back to me in areas like the anointing, in fruit, in people, in doors, in good works & in souls. Matthew 6:19-20, Rev 22:12

A Word from Kathy on Rewards

REWARDS
Win a vacation! Go on a shopping spree! Trade in your points for a new set of luggage!
At times we’re inundated with offers to earn points for mileage, groceries, or travel, etc. As we accumulate points we may trade them in for rewards offered by different companies. Sometimes we’ll buy products, we normally would bypass, just to add to our totals, bringing us closer to the rewards we’ll qualify for from a list of desired offers that we can choose from.
Every day in our Christian walk we are making decisions that affect our eternal rewards. Rewards with eternal value are based on how we live life now. With all the attention placed on failing earthly rewards, it’s comforting to know we have treasures in heaven where thieves can’t steal, rust can’t damage, nor moths eat away and destroy.
