yes thisnis brilliant and very needed to say this part

“at the same token tho suffering for a Christian or suffering as a Christian can feel like there being judged or in danger of losing there salvation.”

This is a wise statement and one to pay heed to , because the devil will use our emotions and “ natural feelings” against us at many times in life , Faith is. Ot about how we feel in any given situation

When life is going really good I feel happy , I have peace and all is well

But if I’m going through a trial or test or face an obstacle I am distraught and the world is ending I have no hope

The devil will Amplify situations through human emotions to get us off track so we should guard against him trying to get tonus too much through feelings that “we aren’t going to be saved now this time we messed up too much we failed now a hundred times to be perfect for God so he’s never gonna have me “


that’s just Satan trying to make us forget that Jesus gave his life to save us he suffered and died and struggled and cried he prayed and he feared and he overcame by faith and he’s offered believers all in all believers of his truth and name salvation and victory over satan and his lies


Sorry what I mean is feelings can be deceptive

5 But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 1 Thess. 5

The Day of the Lord mentioned here is directed at Israel. The antichrist is providing protection during the first 3 1/2 years and Israel is living in Peace and Security while the world is in turmoil. The people mentioned here are Hebrews. Everything changes when the abomination that causes desolation is placed on the mount. Only place this could be is Jerusalem

yes and also I was refering to the fact that all tho we speak for his Kingdom God will test our heart.

We have to please God by speaking on his behalf because God will test our heart if we don't.

Yes as we hear and learn the gospel the doctrine naturally tests our worldly ways and what’s in our heart


“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

because Jesus teaches this it opens believers eyes to it so we start to look inward for the root causes of sin

“but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

his teachings are calling us to a point where we can discern good and evil as we hear the lords teachings for believers in the gospel this is happening

“It is the spirit that quickeneth;

the flesh profiteth nothing:

the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:63‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

about only are we tested we are taught discernment and edified and changed through his word

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

As we hear the gospel this begins to happen

“if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:21-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

awe we become Jesus disciples and begin to learn from him we are becoming like him morally and spiritually

Would like to mention a scripture about when the kingdom of God begins and it is during the 10 kings.

Dan 2:44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed,
