Roses Have Thorns in this life.......share freely......deno.

     

Let Us Be Real Here......Until all governments are forever on Jesus' shoulders and all the fulness of God and His will is being done on earth without resistance, we must not be deceived. This means that our present beautiful roses, you know, the good things we experience and have in life like a great relationship with Jesus and the Father and with one another in Christ, and our family love ties, and our love filled blessed homes and churches, fulness of peace and joy etc., those good things, those roses in this present world still come with thorns.
      Jesus surely said, I have come that you might have life and that you could have it more abundantly thru love and thru fellowship with he and the Father thru the obedience of the gospel, amen to that. But we must not forget that He also loved us enough to tell us ALL THE TRUTH not just part of it. He also said, with trials of your faith, with measured troubles, tribulations, resistances, challenges and persecutions. These are all a part of the thorns that come with our beautiful roses.
      Paul said we must all In Christ fight the good fight of faith. No easy way about it. We must fight the good fight of faith to obtain eternal life and life more abundantly and once we obtain those good things and the other good things by faith like a beautiful Christian Nation, we have to fight to maintain those things. We can never let the cross down. We were all called to carry it. 
      If we lay down or set aside the fight part of our high calling given us all in Christ, then by our own unwillingness to fight the good fight of faith, we hand over to the enemy many of our good things we were called to obtain, to possess, and to lay holt of. We hand over much that we have conquered and even previously overcome of both physical and spiritual ground and territory in us, in our lives, in our society, and in our nation and then life more abundantly starts to go down the drain because the Ark of our faith has a hole in it and we ourselves allowed that hole to take place. We gave place to it because we laid the calling down to take up our cross DAILY and to fight the good fight of faith and to STAND UP STAND UP FOR JESUS. Maybe we didn't like the pricking that can come from the thorns that Jesus said would come with all those beautiful roses? 
      Jesus said, all the life and all the good gained in Me will come WITH PERSECUTIONS, for the world will hate you because of MY NAME & LIGHT. And still yet He says to us all, Nonetheless Peter, FOLLOW ME.....share freely.......deno.
