2 Corinthians 6:1-10 NKJV
We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
3 We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 4 But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much [a]patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, 5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; 6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by [b]sincere love, 7 by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; 9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Survivor of the Endurance
In this last hour we will encounter many trials and tribulations more than any other season that we’ve experienced before. The time is short and judgment is near and yet our Lord gives us Grace to have patience. With patience comes peace. Peace arises through trust, hope, and faith in Yeshua. As we encounter various variables that may be similar or differ greatly from others in the Body of Christ. We can be sure that as our faith strengthens so shall our patience for God build us up like a fortified bronze wall. The Lord will never give us more than we can handle and indeed He has prepared us for such a time as this.
We have to make a choice now to choose whether we will be of war or peace in this time. We will have moments to choose if we will be slow to anger; if we will talk less and listen more. For in those moments we will gain much wisdom and learn much knowledge that we can go forth learning from our past and present to be prepared for the future. Enduring so that we can be an example for those in the wilderness that they may also be called Survivors of the Endurance. Let us be an example of the patience of the saints to those with open and willing hearts, that they may follow as we follow Christ.
Romans 15:5 NKJV
Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus.
Q&A Forum
Why Has God Allowed Suffering?
Suffering is the result of sin coming into the world through the trickery and deception of the adversary. Sin is the cause…suffering is the effect which can come in many forms.
God The Father is the Creator of all and Father all. He indeed has dominion over everything on the earth and in heaven for He is the Existent Power of Everlasting.
Suffering is a season of lessons that we learn from. Christ is our Strength in when we are weak. In this life we will endure, which will indeed require patience but most of all The Lord has given us His Word, His Torah which is His Instruction. When we are diligent to obey God’s Statutes, Laws and Commandments we are showing the evidence of our love for Him.
God is love and He first loved us. Therefore, YHVH has provided everything sufficient that is needed in this life and to dwell with Him for all eternity.
We must take heed to the Warning and Instruction of our Messiah King Yeshua; He has confirmed that which is written… Be holy.
Psalm 93:5 NKJV
Your testimonies are very sure; Holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, forever.
What Do I Do When Longsuffering Becomes Too Much to Handle?
The Lord instructs us to cast our burdens and cares upon Him and in exchange He will give us His Yoke. Our Lord and Savior is willing to bear the weight of what we cannot handle and what we were never designed to bear.
In our weaknesses He will be our Strength and preserve us in Him, Who is our Strong Tower. His Yoke is easy and His burden is light. He is our Light; God’s Word is our Lamp onto our feet and path directing us in a world filled with darkness that we are in but not of.
The Lord has come to save us from the Wrath of God the impending judgment that is destined to come in the appointed time. This is one of the many reasons we rejoice during the Passover (Apr. 5-13, 2023).
When we learn to cast our cares and burdens on The One Who preserves us, The One Who protects us, The One Who provides, The Pavilion of Safety surrounding us on every side with His All Consuming Fire, then we will know True Freedom, Peace, resilience & how to survive this endurance as we press toward the goal. God’s Word is the Spiritual Everlasting Scroll mapping out the safe keeping of the journey of our lives. It would do us well to stay on the path of righteousness, follow our Great Shepherd and trust and believe in Him wholeheartedly. In having patience we will be able to embrace The Tender Mercies of God. His Gracious Love that endures forever is our Oasis of Peace in this world just as He provided Elim, a paradise in the desert for the Israelites when they were delivered out of Egypt and out of the hand of the adversary.
Let us ponder the mirror image of The Exodus, a miraculous prophecy that foretold of a time to come that we are living in right now at this very moment.
Our Pillar of Cloud by day and Pillar of Fire by night YHVH is with us every step of the way and in knowing this Truth, when our flesh starts to give in to the weight & overloaded burden that seeks to drag us down, that is the indication that we need to draw near to God and He will draw near to us…Giving us the much needed rest and comfort we so desperately are yearning for.
Hebrew 6:10-12 NKJV
For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

What’s happening in Israel?
BREAKTHROUGH From Site of Jesus’ FIRST Miracle | Watchman Newscast by Erick S.
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
King Yeshua HaMashiach
Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
