Faith Under Pressure

Don’t try to get out of it! Let it do its work so you become mature and well

developed, not deficient in any way. If you don’t know what you’re doing pray to the

Father. He loves to help!

When tests and challenges come at you from all sides, what happens

under pressure?

Prosperity is as long lived as a

wildflower so don’t count on it!

As soon as the sun rises, pouring down its scorching heat the flower withers—

becomes a barren stem.

As soon as the sun rises, pouring down its scorching heat the flower withers—becomes a

barren stem!The Father will help, He loves to help!

Ask boldly, believing. Keep all your options open!When down and outers get a break,

Cheer!

Prosperity is as long lived as a wildflower so don’t count on it!

As soon as the sun rises, pouring down its scorching heat the flower withers—becomes

a barren stem.

Ask the Father boldly—believing. Keep all your options open. When down and outers

get a break, cheer!

Are you meeting a testing challenge? If you

challenge it head on and stick it out you are mighty

fortunate! REWARD OFFERED!

The temptation to evil comes from us. We have no one to blame but the seducing lust that comes from our own lust. Lust gets pregnant and has a baby: sin!

The “prosperous life”—at the very moment you look at it, everyone admiring it—it fades away to nothing!

Sin grows up

to adulthood

And becomes

a real killer!

Anyone who meets a testing challenge head on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. Don’t get thrown off course! Every good and perfect gift comes out of heaven.

There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two faced, nothing fickle.

In simple humility, let our God landscape you with the WORD making a salvation

garden of your life.

Don’t let the WORD go into one ear and out the other! Act on what you hear!

Those who don’t act are like a person who looks in the mirror, walks away and two minutes later forgets what

they look like or who they are!

James 1:25-26

People who set themselves up by

talking a “good game” are self-

deceived.

Reach out to homeless,

loveless, orphans, widows.

Guard against corruption from the godless world. Keep yourself from pollution!

Don’t get thrown off course! Every good and perfect gift comes out of heaven!

The gifts are: “rivers of light cascading down from the

Father of Light.”

Lead with your ears. Follow up with your tongue. Let anger straggle along behind you!
