Synopsis:



Continuing our discussion from part two, and before reaching the conclusion of this series, let me share some additional Bible verses with you concerning the subject of the brevity of our human existence, when we compare it to the unending vastness of eternity, and living in God's wonderful Kingdom of Light forever:

"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."


"Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away."


"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."


"But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?"


"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."


"Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready."


"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"


"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."


In summation, my friends, God wants each of us to live in a state of victory. He wants us to be happy and fulfilled in our lives, and in our service to Him. I am convinced that it is NOT His will for any of His children to be in a constant state of misery, depression, self-pity or condemnation. So if you find yourself in a prolonged situation such as that, you need to seriously seek the Lord about it and find out why it is happening to you. Equally important, and to reiterate a few of the key points of this series, you also need to stop listening to the deceptions and lies that are being thrown at you by the devourer -- meaning the Devil -- or which may be born within your own mind or heart.

You just need to stand up and fight with every ounce of your God-given might and resist the Devil. You need to tell him that you are just not going to take it anymore. You need to get fighting mad, and stop letting him pound your brain with all of his negative, depressing thoughts. Again, your mind is the battleground where this war is being fought. As such, if you lose there, then you are pretty much sunk. So instead of letting him kick YOU in the head, you need to kick HIM in the pants, rebuke him, and tell him to scram! Furthermore, with God's help you need to cast aside and throw off every heavy weight of sin, and run with patience the race that is set before you. If there is any unconfessed sin in your life, it is important that you confess it before the Lord, because any unyielded area can give Satan a foothold in your life.

How are these things even made possible? By remaining firmly grounded in God's Word, obedient to His Will for your life, and by having your eyes firmly fixed on Jesus Christ, who is the Author and the Finisher of your faith. It IS possible to be victorious, and you can be, if you truly put His Kingdom and His Work first in your life, instead of yourself and your personal wants, desires and problems. These are the things I have personally learned over the years during my walk with the Lord. I hope that they will help those of you who may be struggling in some way at this current time.
