2 Corinthians 1:4
4)who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Matthew 16:25-27 #TPT
For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.
For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?
I, the Son of Man, will one day return with my messengers and in the splendor and majesty of my Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.

Matthew 16:21-24 #TPT
From then on Jesus began to clearly reveal to his disciples that he was destined to go to Jerusalem and suffer injustice from the elders, leading priests, and religious scholars. He also explained that he would be killed and three days later be raised to life again.
Peter took him aside to correct him privately. He reprimanded Jesus over and over, saying to him, “God forbid, Master! Spare yourself. You must never let this happen to you!”
Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get out of my way, you Satan! You are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are only filled with man’s viewpoints and not with the ways of God.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways.

Matthew 4:19
19)And He said to them, “Follow Me [as My disciples, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk], and I will make you fishers of men.”
Proverbs 3:21-26 #TPT
My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover your purpose. Don’t ever forget how they empower you.
For they strengthen you inside and out and inspire you to do what’s right; you will be energized and refreshed by the healing they bring.
They give you living hope to guide you, and not one of life’s tests will cause you to stumble.
You will sleep like a baby, safe and sound— your rest will be sweet and secure.
You will not be subject to terror, for it will not terrify you. Nor will the disrespectful be able to push you aside,
because God is your confidence in times of crisis, keeping your heart at rest in every situation.

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." -1 Peter 5:10 ✝️😰💪
Proverbs 8:14-21 #TPT
“You will find true success when you find me, for I have insight into wise plans that are designed just for you. I hold in my hands living-understanding, courage, and strength.
I empower kings to reign and rulers to make laws that are just.
I empower princes to rise and take dominion, and generous ones to govern the earth.
I will show my love to those who passionately love me. For they will search and search continually until they find me.
Unending wealth and glory come to those who discover where I dwell. The riches of righteousness and a long, satisfying life will be given to them.
What I impart has greater worth than gold and treasure, and the increase I bring benefits more than a windfall of income.
I lead you into the ways of righteousness to discover the paths of true justice.
Those who love me gain great wealth and a glorious inheritance, and I will fill their lives with treasures.”

James (Jacob) 5:7-11 #TPT
Meanwhile, brothers and sisters, we must be patient and filled with expectation as we wait for the appearing of the Lord. Think about the farmer who has to patiently wait for the earth’s harvest as it ripens because of the early and latter rains.
So you also, keep your hopes high and be patient, for the presence of the Lord is drawing closer.
Since each of you are part of God’s family never complain or grumble about each other so that judgment will not come on you, for the true Judge is near and very ready to appear!
My brothers and sisters, take the prophets as your mentors. They have prophesied in the name of the Lord and it brought them great sufferings, yet they patiently endured.

Psalms 121:1-8 #TPT
I look up to the mountains and hills, longing for God’s help.
But then I realize that our true help and protection is only from the Lord, our Creator who made the heavens and the earth.
He will guard and guide me, never letting me stumble or fall. God is my keeper; He will never forget nor ignore me.
He will never slumber nor sleep; He is the Guardian-God for his people, Israel.
Yahweh himself will watch over you; He’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence.
He’s protecting you from all danger both day and night.
He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity as He continuously watches over you.
You will be guarded by God himself. You will be safe when you leave your home, and safely you will return. He will protect you now, and He’ll protect you forevermore!

PLEASE REMEMBER THOSE IN CHAINS............
1 Corinthians 15:20-24 #TPT
But the truth is, Christ is risen from the dead, as the firstfruit of a great resurrection harvest of those who have died.
For since death came through a man, Adam, it is fitting that the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man, Christ.
Even as all who are in Adam die, so also all who are in Christ will be made alive.
But each one in his proper order: Christ, the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ in his presence.
Then the final stage of completion comes, when he will bring to an end every other rulership, authority, and power, and he will hand over his kingdom to Father God.

This scripture makes me so happy!!!!!
Philippians 1:2-6 #TPT
May the blessings of divine grace and supernatural peace that flow from God our wonderful Father, and our Messiah, the Lord Jesus, be upon your lives.
My prayers for you are full of praise to God as I give him thanks for you with great joy!
I’m so grateful for our union
and our enduring partnership that began the first time I presented to you the gospel.
I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this gracious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Psalms 51:5-12 #TPT
Lord, I have been a sinner from birth, from the moment my mother conceived me.
I know that you delight to set your truth deep in my spirit. So come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom.
Purify my conscience! Make this leper clean again! Wash me in your love until I am pure in heart.
Satisfy me in your sweetness, and my song of joy will return. The places you have crushed within me will rejoice in your healing touch.
Hide my sins from your face; erase all my guilt by your saving grace.
Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.
May you never reject me! May you never take from me your sacred Spirit!
Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." -1 Peter 5:7 😊❤✝️
1 Corinthians 2:6-9 #TPT
However, there is a wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature. It’s wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned.
Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery. It is his secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory.
None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory.
This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine — these are the many things God has in store for all his lovers.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Psalms 103:8-11 #TPT
Lord, you’re so kind and tenderhearted and so patient with people who fail you! Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness.
You don’t look at us only to find our faults, just so that you can hold a grudge against us.
You may discipline us for our many sins, but never as much as we really deserve. Nor do you get even with us for what we’ve done.
Higher than the highest heavens— that’s how high your tender mercy extends! Greater than the grandeur of heaven above is the greatness of your loyal love, towering over all who fear you and bow down before you!
