Samuel 12:24
“Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.”
Hebrews 10:23
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”
Job 37:2
“Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.”
Are you attentively hearing God through His word daily?
God's word is powerful, but you must apply it as you seek Him.
Galatians 6:7
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
God is not mocked and if your life does not match the testimony you are claiming then you are none of his.
Hebrews 12:8
“But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.”
If you are living for Jesus and maintaining a Holy testimony then you can count it joy when challenges arise.
James 1:2
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;”
In this verse it talks about temptations and this does apply when you have lots of challenges coming your way you could easily give up your walk with God. It happens many times and requires one to cling to God's word and totally rely on Him.
Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Proverbs 3:6
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Romans 15:13
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”
So if you are a Christian and you are going through tough times remember that God is able to help you overcome losing sight of what He has for you. Stay faithful and watch what God does with your life. I am glad to share this testimony with you all and may God be praised!

5) Endure in your faith.... You MUST keep clinging to Christ via this saving faith to the end of your life, lest you fall away and have believed in vain. ( Matt 10 and 1 Corinthians 15 )
