Cowardice

The Offense of Cowardice ( 60 min)

Cowardice is turning
back in a time of trouble, despite the fact that you are one of God's people.
 This is offensive to God, because it is a direct assault on His
character...His self-chosen identity as a Good Father and a Good Husband.
 
Cowardice is the result
of entertaining the accusations against God from the enemy, or even worse,
joining in the accusation against God WITH the enemy.
 
There is MUCH to
overcome.  Cowards will not survive the final shaking:  
 
Revelation 21:7-8
 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he
shall be My son.  8  But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable,
murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have
their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second
death."
Faithfulness...courage....that will produce SAFETY in the end times:
 
Revelation 3:10
 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from
the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who
dwell on the earth.
Many are promised to turn in cowardice to the false protection of agreeing with
the crowd, this will lead them, because they don't understand God's plans or
believe in His goodness, to betray other believers.  We need to grow in
endurance to meet this day with courage".  Believers will be here
until the end:
Matthew 24:9-14
 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you
will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.  10  And then many
will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.  11
 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.  12
 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
 13  But he who endures to the end shall be saved.  14  And
this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to
all the nations, and then the end will come.
Today, you will have many opportunities to grow in courage.  What you do
with those opportunities REALLY matters...
