approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions,
in necessities, in distresses,

knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the Word of Truth,
by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the
left.

Colossians
1:10-19
10 That ye might walk
worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and
increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all
might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering
with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the
Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the
saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us
from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear
Son.
14 In whom we have
redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
15 Who is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by Him were all
things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by Him, and for Him.
17 And He is before all
things, and by Him all things consist.
18 And He is the head of
the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that
in all things He might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the
Father that in Him should all fullness dwell.
Colossians
3:12-17
12 Put on therefore, as
the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of
mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another,
and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as
Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these
things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of
God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye
thankful.
16 Let the Word of Christ
dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in
word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and
the Father by Him.

Timothy 1:16-17
16 Howbeit for this cause
I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all
longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him to
life everlasting.
17 Now unto the King
eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and
ever. Amen.

longsuffering and doctrine.

Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack
concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to
us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance.
Prayer of
Salvation
It
is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should
come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son,
that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and
destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it
overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your
Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and
white as fresh snow.
Please do not put it off for another time in the future. I urge
you to not delay. Come to the Lord today and give Him your heart and life. He
will save, and heal you and make you whole.
Please do not delay, because on this earth there are no
guarantees that a person will wake up in the morning. Also, you could be
driving on the highway and be involved in a major collision and be instantly
killed. You may be flying in a jet or aircraft and the plane crashes and
everybody is killed.
A person does not know the exact date that they will die. But
the fact is that every person will eventually taste of death (unless you are
translated to Heaven which is very rare and highly unlikely, although it could
happen for a few that is. it happened for Enoch, Elijah and
Elisha).
Come to the Cross today and do not delay. Time is of the
essence. If you should die not knowing Christ, then you would perish and end up
in hell. Eternity is a very long time. Do not play games with your salvation or
takes unnecessary risks.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You.
I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the
Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are
Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for
me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me
whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old
has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the
Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are
now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your
sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to
help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship
Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul, and only He can heal your
heart and make you whole.
He will give you peace you never knew, and sweet love and joy,
and Heaven too, for only Jesus can satisfy your soul.
God bless you!!!
