FINALLY! The Third Command of Christ!
Rejoice"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you"(Matthew 5:11-12 KJV)Memorization and Meditation1 Peter 4:12-14, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 2Corinthians 12:9, Philippians 4:4,6Personal Application for Command 3Praying the Names of GodJehovah-Nissi: The Lord Your Banner-Exodus 17:8-16; Deuteronomy 20:4Jesus Christ Is Our Life-John 14:6; John 10:10Examining My HeartDeveloping Character
- Do I see trials as God's means of bringing me to spiritual maturity?
- Have I found Scriptures to strengthen me in trials?
- How have I overcome reviling with good works?
- Have I thanked God for trials and persecution?
- Do I keep my eyes on eternity when trials come into my life?
- Am I willing to join in the sufferings of Christ?
- Have I identified benefits in the trials I am facing?
- What qualities are my trials building in me?
Joyfulness vs. Self-PityJoyfulness is the bright spirit and radiant countenance that come by being in full fellowship with the Lord.

- Born and raised in North East Florida I am the oldest of four and a graduated homeschooler. My family and I moved to East Tennessee in the summer of 2007 (the beginning of my senior year of high-school). First and foremost, I am an unworthy sinner that was shown the ugliness of sin, and my gracious Heavenly Father brought me to repentance (James 4:6-10) and now by His Grace I am being sanctified. Now I am a young woman striving to serve my God and Savior Jesus Christ. I long for a stronger walk with Him. ~ Semper Reformanda and Solo Scriptura
