(2025.09.16 The Encouragement of the Holy Spirit)

The end of all things is near. The devil’s work grows stronger, and evil and temptations to sin keep increasing. Do not be drunk with the world or focus only on the things of the flesh. If you get used to the customs and culture of this world and follow its trends, you will drift away from the right path.

You must stay watchful. Keep God’s word of life, His teachings and commandments, deep in your heart. Focus on the salvation of your soul, and do not be distracted. Be alert to the devil’s temptations, always staying on guard against his work. Be holy, set apart, and keep yourself pure and blameless.

Stand firm in the truth, let your faith not be shaken. Be full of faith, and completely trust in the truth. My words are faithful, and my promises will not fail—I will give you eternal life. Only by dying and rising again with Christ, by submitting to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and by putting to death the sinful desires and deeds of the flesh, can you gain eternal life.

On the path of faith, you will face trials, hardships, and difficulties. You will encounter temptations and dangers. You must deny yourself, follow the Lord, and both live out and keep His word. But for the eternal joy to come, for the inheritance of God’s kingdom, all of this is worth it.

So I urge you: hold firmly to the truth and never compromise, so that your faith may be tested and proven complete. It is better to go through trials, so that your old sinful nature may be removed, and your life refined into holiness and beauty—making you the firstfruits belonging to Me.

Therefore, do not fear. Be strong and courageous. Walk firmly on the path of righteousness. Overcome this world, defeat the temptations of the devil, and in the end you will not be harmed by the second death, but will receive eternal life and the crown of glory.

Scripture 

Romans

Chapter 6 Verses 4-8

“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death,

in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead

by the glory of the Father,

we too might walk in newness of life.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his,

we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

We know that our old self was crucified with him

in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing,

so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

For one who has died has been set free from sin.

Now if we have died with Christ,

we believe that we will also live with him.”

1 Corinthians

Chapter 16 Verse 13

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith,

act like men, be strong.”

James

Chapter 1 Verse 18

“Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth,

that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”

James

Chapter 1 Verses 2-4

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

And let steadfastness have its full effect,

that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

Revelation

Chapter 2 Verses 10-11

“Do not fear what you are about to suffer.

Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison,

that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation.

Be faithful unto death,

and I will give you the crown of life.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.”
