HOW TO KEEP YOUR COOL IN TIMES OF TROUBLE?

HOW TO KEEP YOUR COOL IN TIMES OF TROUBLE? GOD!

If you stop to think and observe all the unsettling events that are happening today, you will notice that man is facing one of his most important decisions he may ever have to make; How to keep your cool (head and hands) in times of trouble. It is not going to be easy because there are so many provocative things and mechanism that are placed before us, daily, by the enemy that are constantly inviting us to participate but we must stay prepared for their arrival and attack. We must stay prayed up (asking God for help while praising Him all day long); the Word is our source of godly information and revelation. To lessen the confusion of man’ purpose which is to praise God and give Him all glory and to help one another through this praise, we must stay in the Word to be alert to what is really going on and why it is happening the way it is. In these times of troubles is why we, saints, and sinners alike, before he goes any farther, and as he come to the fork in the road of his life, must first make the deciding choice in his, life to totally commit to one or the other; choose between God, good and the devil, evil, very soon. Man must give up the things of this world (false gods) that are causing him to turn his back on the only One with the saving grace and mercy, to save him, serve YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, with all sincerity and faithfulness. (Joshua 24:14-15 14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord).

This one choice is vital in how we look at what the people of the world and the disposition of the world, is going through, which is not new but yet, to us, it is new; signs of the coming times that has been and will be shown from the beginning of time, yesterday, today, and tomorrow until our Lord Jesus come. It is so important that we remain well versed in the Word and acknowledge Who we serve (GOD), so we can be able to have perception in the absence of good judgment (which we are experiencing on a daily basis), with a view of the total situation, to obtain spiritual guidance and understanding so that we will be able to know when people (it is already happening), will try and deceive us (God’s Elect). So as the troubles, trials, turmoil, and tribulations continue to plague our lives (and are getting worst) because we, have been anchored in God’s Word (Jesus), we will be able to keep the cool, calm, and collective persona Jesus displayed and left as an example for us to do so. Those who have chosen the righteousness (GOD), will withstand the turning of the tides of unrest, hatred, anger, and all the other emotions, feelings, turmoil, and actions that are running rampant in the world today; as we, the Father children, stand on the Rock (Jesus) in the middle of it all. (Matthew 24:4-8 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows).

The first thing to do to keep your cool is to stay in constant contact with the LORD. Never (I don’t use this word often) allow a day to go by that you do not give God, through Jesus, some time; connect with Him to see what He has planned for you or ask if He will bless yours, you will be surprised at the answer He gives. He said try Him and see. It can be through reading and studying the word on remaining calm in times of trouble; a whisper, under your breath to Him, while you are out and about; a full-blown, outright prayer explosion, in the privacy of your home or car. It really does not matter how or where you communicate with the Father, as long as you keep the line of communication going. And it does not matter if you cannot get your words right, the Holy Spirit, our comforter and guide, will get in the middle and make know, to God, what we are saying. (Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words). Because when you are constantly seeking the presence and guidance of GOD, you let Him know (He does for sure) that you are not just doing this for the world to see you as a “saint” and not an “ain’t.” But that you are serious about keeping the channels of life opened between Him and you. When we keep the channels of communication opened, we allow Him fully in our lives and show Him that He is the center of our lives, we need Him, we cannot do it alone. So, to remain calm in times of troubles all we have to do is read the Word, be receptive to it, pray, pray, and pray some more, love God first, self, and one another. And everything else will be added to the purposeful goodness (one that makes our life’s true song to be heard, as we strike rich chords of the truth, allowing it to be heard throughout the world), provided by our True and Faithful God. When you are having a great day or when in trouble, you can look up and cry out and whatever mess we find ourselves in, (we need but call and always give Him the glory; praising Him at the start, in the middle, all the way through to the end) He will deliver us.  With that said it does the heart good and should give you a peace of mind knowing that God hear you at all times and comes to the rescue; sometimes He tries our patience, but we must learn to wait on Him to see the goodness (for us) He holds in His hands. (Psalms 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
