The Struggle Never Ends

Salvation is not for everybody. It is not for the weak and for those who are not dedicated. If you want to follow Jesus you must be prepared for MUCH TRIBULATION because we will only go INTO the Kingdom of Heaven through MUCH TRIBULATION.
The moment you start following Jesus the devil and all his demons will be onto you, trying to stop you, to prevent you from getting into the Kingdom of Heaven. He will send all his seducing forces and everything that he can possibly put together, he will use to get you to stop following Jesus. It is a STUGGLE and if you are not willing to STRUGGLE, don’t even try it. If you follow Jesus, you will have a hard time. You will be rejected by this world, you will be persecuted, you might just get killed and you will be very lonely but JESUS goes with you all the way. If you follow Jesus, you are not of this world and the world HATES you, they reject you. Just like they hate Jesus and they reject Him. If Jesus lives in you, then this world will not like you, they will reject you, they will persecute you, they will be after you all the time.
If you follow Jesus, He will send you into dark places because then you are the light of the world and you need to go and bring light where you go. If you follow Jesus, you don’t express your own opinion. You listen to the Holy Spirit and you speak the Words of Jesus because you are then a temple of the Holy Spirit and Christ lives in you. You speak His Words. You are the body of Christ and you are the Jesus that this world sees. You are the Bible that they read. You are the physical manifestation of God because His Spirit lives in you. That is if you truly follow Jesus. But don’t expect it EVER to become easy.
It will be a struggle right until the end because the devil will be trying to get you right until the end. Also by His wonderful love, Jesus will be working on you to transform you into His likeness. He will be teaching you, coaching you and forming you into His own likeness. That is not pleasant. You will learn many things through what you SUFFER because we learn through what we suffer. Even Jesus Himself, even though He was the Son of God, He learned through what He suffered. So if we follow Jesus, we must be prepared to suffer also because if we suffer with Him we will be glorified with Him, but never expect it to be easy.
If your life is easy and you are a Christian then you are not on the right road, then you are on the broad road to destruction. If you are much loved by this world then you are of this world. But if you are persecuted for righteousness and for the Name of Jesus that is a sign that Jesus is in you. So don’t expect a good time, expect persecution, expect rejection but then you will also have the expectation of the approval of God.
Do you want to hear those words: "Good and faithful servant come into the joy of your Lord?" Then you will have to endure persecution for the sake and the Name of Jesus Christ. It is not an easy road.
May Jesus bless you.
