IF YOU WANT YOUR CROWN...

Take heed how you hear.

Fear none of those things which you will suffer, behold, the devil shall cast (some) of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.
Revelation 2:10

Trials don't come to promote you, teach you or advance you.
Trials come to kill you.
Trials come to stop your testimony and its influence.

TO KILL, TO STEAL AND TO DESTROY

Lord help someone to see this so that they come to understand who you are,
In Jesus Name.
So Be It.

Be thou faithful unto death...

God the Father has given you the ability to take the trial and use it to your advantage.
Impatience is always to your enemies advantage.

James 1:2-4 (Lolita's Version)
Consider it an opportunity when you face trials of any kind;
Knowing that the proving of your confidence in God will develop God like patience in you.
So allow that patience to perfect you, making you whole so that you desire nothing.

This means you can't be tempted with evil because all of your desires have already been fulfilled by faith in God.
A man can't be tempted with something that he already has.

If you don't know that you have an inheritance already you might be out there trying to gather bottles and cans to scrape by.
I want to share a little of the last will and testament with you today.

Because when trial is brought to your door, no man or woman should say, "God is using this trial to make me stronger or teach me a lesson or to try my faith.
God tests no man with evil.

Because trial wants to take you off of your testimony of who God is.
Trial wants to move you off of your stance of who Jesus Christ is.
Trial wants you to deny and grieve the Holy Spirit of God.
Trial wants to prove you unfit and unworthy before God to receive the crown that He has prepared for you.

God tests no man with evil because He himself cannot be moved off of His testimony.
There is nothing and no one that can prove God unfit, unworthy or unrighteous.

You know this because when the tempter tried to move Jesus off of His testimony, Jesus who was tried, tested and tempted in all points, sinned not.
No offer was able to provoke Jesus to sin.

No enticement of gain or pleasure or acceptance was able to move Christ off of His assignment.

PRAISE GOD!
Do you think that God is moved by folks that say He doesn't exist?
Do you think that Jesus was moved by people who called Him fake, crazy or a know it all?

Allow the fruit of the spirit to have free course in you.
Let perseverance develop in your spirit through the preaching and teaching of the Gospel.

Blessed is the man who won't give in and lay down in a trial.
Happy is the woman who when she is tried pushes past it and through it with God's rod and His staff, knowing that goodness and mercy have her back.
Psalm 23

And when we stay on that righteous path you receive the crown of life that God promised to those that love Him.

You can't love Him with all your heart and all your mind and all of your soul and substance if you don't know Him.

If we believe that it's God who has His foot on our neck keeping us down.
If we believe that it's God who took our brother's life too soon...
If we believe that it's God who is bringing trial to our door when we have placed our trust in Him.
We don't know Him.

Because the Father in heaven doesn't need us to choose sin, Satan does.
The devil can't have you unless you choose sin.

God does not lead us into temptation but He delivers us from evil.

I WANT MY CROWN.
I WANT EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS PROMISED ME IN THIS LIFE AND IN THE LIFE TO COME.

IF YOU WANT YOUR CROWN COME AND LEARN OF GOD.

John 3:16, James 1:2-4, James 1:13-17, Matthew 4, Matthew 6:13, Hebrews 4:15
Think on these words.
