Along this way of salvation, we could face anything. Therefore we must so settle it in our hearts, so count the cost that every adversity that stands in our path is viewed simply as part of the cost. We will not make it by our own strength; only the strength of God Himself will take us through. But it is up to us to eat everything God feeds us so we can be in position to receive that strength.

We make the decision, God determines the consequence. We make the choice, God enforces its' implications. Knowing that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, let us walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called.

Often the Spirit leads in paths that are contrary to the flesh, paths that are uncomfortable. God does this to prepare you for the task ahead. Many people are lost and confused today because they did not follow the Spirit's leading. Not only is it crucial to obey the Spirit when He speaks, but even before then you must get into a position where you can and are willing to obey no matter where He leads.

Would Jesus feel welcome at your house? Would radical changes need to be made for Jesus to feel comfortable in your house? If He walked in, would you treat Him with greater honor than the influential people you look up to?

Take careful retrospective inventory of your life as you experience this soul searching message.

Most times the enemy cannot take a saint out with one hard blow, so he does his best to first tire them out. If you allow the enemy to get you to become weary, you will cease to do what produces divine results. Apostasy comes in when you get weary of holding the truth. Eventually the virtue you have will become depleted, but don't get weary! Jesus left us an example to do in these times: get alone with God until He renews your virtue.

Pure gold is what filled the tabernacle, which is representative of God's church. Everything in the kingdom of God must be pure; anything that is impure is not a part of God's church and cannot enter heaven. Purity is characterized by a holy, consecrated, and blameless life that is utterly free from corruption of the spirit, soul, and body. We must be pure according to God's definition of purity. Closely examine your life: are you made of pure gold?

Faith is the powerful means by which we are saved, but it is important to realize that it can be overthrown. There is a certain faith for which God is looking; this faith is God’s standard. In Luke 18:8 Jesus, foreseeing the time in which we now live, questioned whether He would find acceptable faith at all at His coming. We see then that in order to keep that faith for which Jesus is coming back, beyond ordinary effort is required.

Faith is the engine of triumph in the Christian experience. God operates within a higher order, and faith is the channel to experience this higher order, enabling complete dominion over this natural order, life, and world.
