OUR REWARDS IN HEAVEN – PART 4
THE VICTOR’S CROWN OF LIFE
The Victor’s Crown of Life is given to believers who successfully endure the trials, temptations, and testings here in this life. It is about enduring the difficult times and remaining faithful through all of it.
James 1:2-3 (NIV) says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”
God does not abandon us during those hard times, even if you feel like he did. I Corinthians 10:17 (NIV) says, “No temptation (trial or testing) has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” Yes, God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Trust Him.
James 1:12 (NIV) says, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive The Crown of Life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”
This is reaffirmed even in the worst of circumstances in Revelation 2:10 (NIV) where Jesus himself said to the Apostle John, “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you; the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution…(but) be faithful, even to the point of (being put to) death, and I will give you life as your Victor’s Crown.”
Do not think that severe persecution cannot come upon us in this present time. It is surely coming; the Bible tells us so. Freedom of religion in America has been gradually disappearing, and now so at an accelerated pace. Our Department of Homeland Security has even put the “terrorist” designation on Evangelical Christians. We are at a point where all religions and philosophies are accepted, except the Christian Faith. We are being increasingly viewed as “the bad guys.” Persecution and testing are coming. Do not be deceived into thinking we shall escape it.
Be faithful, pray, and trust God to bring you strength to endure. Philippians 4:13 says (KJV), “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” This was written from the context of enduring difficulty, not from the working of miracles as sometimes taught. Jesus gives us strength to endure the hard times. This will assure us of receiving the Victor’s Crown of Life.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS
There is an old saying that when all else fails then pray. I have heard it many times. Sadly, that is what most people do. They often try everything before they think about praying.
I did not grow up in a home of prayer. Sure, I went to church as a child, and knew God personally as a young girl, but I wasn’t taught about prayer until much later. I thought God was someone very far away that really didn’t have much concern for me other than to be angry when I did something wrong.
When I realized I could go to God personally through prayer, things changed. My prayer life became very strong, and many lives were changed because of it. Then something happened. I was in a critical place, thinking God was through with me because of some decisions I had made. I had been a person of prayer but stopped praying because I didn’t think He would speak anything that I wanted to hear. The devil convinced me that God was done with me.
One day out of desperation, I prayed and immediately I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me. Whether it was audible or in my spirit I don’t know, but I heard Him say, “He would make a way where there was no way.” I was so surprised. I thought I would be condemned and disciplined harshly for my bad actions, but it wasn’t the case. My loving heavenly Father spoke by the Holy Spirit and let me know that He wasn’t through with me, and that there was a way that He would make for me. I even wrote a little song about it.
I talked to the Lord today, He talked to me
He said He’d make a way, where no way could be
He’ll take me by the hand, I’ll follow him
He’ll guide my steps today, give peace within
I asked the Lord today which way to go
He said to trust in Him, my steps he would show
He’ll guide me with His eye in the way for me
I talked to the Lord today, He talked to me.
There was such a sense of release to know that God was there even though I had failed. His love reached through the dark clouds of despair and touched me. I know some of you reading this may be at that same place that I was at or have been at that place at one time. Don’t ever let the devil tell you that God doesn’t care. Don’t wait until all else fails, put your prayers to work and trust that God is with you and will speak to you.
He’s waiting right now to talk to you.

This word was given a year ago in December with what was to come in 2020. I believe we should read it again, and see that God is saying much the same for 2021. If you think 2020 was hard, then you need to prepare for 2021. It will be a very hard year for man. There will be many suddenlies, and there will be great change coming. Do not fear! Prepare. Jesus is aware of everything, and will not give you any more than you can handle.

I see many standing in the hallway. One door is closed and another has not opened. It is not an easy place to be, because you must wait patiently. It is a time to grow in faith my friends. It is a time that your faith will be stretched to the limit. It is a time of pruning off the dead branches that have not yielded fruit. It is a time of letting go, and preparing for the new. 2020 will be another year of acceleration. There will be many changes coming forth. There will be an increase in the spirit realm with more and more darkness trying to rise up, but more gifting will come forth from God at the same time. God would say to you rise, shine, for your light has come. Even though there may be gross darkness, you are light. Everywhere you go you bring light if you focus on the light and not on the dark. Yes, things may appear to be out of control, but the Lord is doing a great shaking and a mightier shaking is just ahead. Do not compromise your stand with the Lord, for He is saying you must make a stand. If you do not make a stand you are lukewarm, and you know that is not the place to be. Stand for righteousness. Stand for all that the Word of God reveals, and most of all stand knowing He, the creator of the universe is standing with you.
Many have been through tremendous physical attacks this past year, and the new year will bring more pressure, but you must stay in an attitude of praise. Praise is our secret weapon. When praise goes up then the power of God comes down. Do not allow the joy of the Lord to be stolen from your life. You must not focus on the negative – focus on praise and praise some more.
As we enter into the New Year, spend more time in the secret place of the most high. That is where your peace will come from. That is where you draw from the well of living water. That is where you will be refreshed and receive your assignment. It is an absolute must to go there daily, and literally stay there. This is the place that drives the enemy away. He cannot touch those that are in the secret place.

Change will come when it HURTS so much you HAVE to change; When you LEARN so much that you WANT to change...And when you RECEIVE so much you WELCOME change. Change has always been a part of God's PROCESS that we all must go through on our way to PURPOSE. So STEP BACK, PRAY, REFRESH and RETHINK your DECISIONS thus far; So there’ll be NO REGRETS in your FUTURE. Then be sure to ask God to REVISIT you with His UNCONDITIONAL love, His STRENGTH, His UNDERSTANDING and His WISDOM; Then allow Hm to MOLD you and MAKE you into the vessel of HONOR that He desires you to be...And yes, sometimes that does REQUIRE us going THROUGH the REFINERS FIRE. "Behold I have refined you, but not as silver, I have tested you in the furnace of affliction". (Mal. 3:3) Just remember it’s the LEARNING to stay CALM and MAINTAINING a GOOD spirit...Even when you do not AGREE or UNDERSTAND; Which in turn will CAUSE you to GROW and MATURE into the person God has called you to be. Don’t you give up now; For God is carefully EXAMINING His children during the process of the CHANGE. Remember to stay focused and keep 1st things FIRST as you’re entering into the brand New Year of 2021. God’s got this... Just trust Him through the coming changes, chances and challenges that’s ahead.
