1 Timothy 1-6

What God said to me – I know you long for My coming and the judgment of all the evil that is overtaking the world but don’t grow impatient because I will bring these things about at the proper time.  In the meantime, you fight the good fight of faith, for that is what it is – a fight.  You are in a continual battle against the flesh and forces of evil in this world constantly bombarding you.  It would be easy to compromise so you could experience some relief from the constant pressure you feel and the voices that talk about love and acceptance and not judging.  However these voices of the world system have no ides what true love and acceptance are all about.  The very things they tell you not to be judgmental of are the very things that will bring about their judgment.  By your faithfulness and good fight you are taking hold of the eternal life to which you were called.  Hold fast to your confession.

2 Thessalonians 1-3

What God said to me – You are My beloved and I have chosen you from the beginning for salvation and sanctification by My Spirit.  “I AM” in the process of changing you and conforming you to My own image as you walk with Me in obedience and as you seek to know Me in Spirit and in Truth.  You live in perilous times and it is easy for you to take your attention off of Me and put it on the world around you.  However when you do that it’s easy to lose hope and give up and quit trying.  Keep your eyes on Me.  As you seek Me and as you are in My word I will comfort you and give you hope.  I will strengthen your heart so you can continue in My word and in every good work as I direct you.  You will see Me at work even in this difficult time and I will make you worthy of your calling.  In doing so you will not be ashamed at My coming.

1 Thessalonians 1-5

What God said to me – When you look at the Thessalonians you see that in spite of much tribulation, they were examples to all believers because of their faith in Me and their consistent walk and witness.  When you examine your own life – your walk and witness – can you say the same?  Are you an example to others because of your faith in Me and your devoted walk with Me?  When you walk with Me consistently and strive to excel still more in your diligence and faithfulness, you please Me.  When you walk this way, I will establish your heart in holiness so that you will be without blame and you will not be ashamed at My coming. When you live your life with the knowledge of My soon coming at the forefront of your mind it will change the way you live and think.
