Many are called but few can endure

“Many are called, but few can endure”

As a good soldier of Jesus Christ, one must war a good warfare and fight a good fight wherever that battle ground may be. Jesus is the Captain of our salvation and we are his workmanship, a peculiar people purged from all iniquity. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit. To wield it skillfully one must be taught by the Anointing given by the grace of God that brings salvation that appeared to every man to deny ungodliness, be sober and holy in this adulterous and perverse generation. Many are called but few can endure temptation because they make provision for their flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. They cannot keep their own bodies under subjection hence the upright perish and the faithful faint among the children of men.

Lay aside the sin and the weights that so easily besets you

I would prescribe heavy doses of scripture 4 to 6 times a day. Change the habit that makes provision for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. Cut off ungodly counselors. Avoid foolish jesters comedians. Throw down, and root out. Then you can build and plant when your obedience is fulfilled. 

Sinless in Christ

When do many professing Christians sin? As often as they are tempted, of course. Unless they already have sin that remains because they regard it as a familiar spirit. I have not heard them ever confess: I am clean. Holy. Righteous. These words abhorrent to them. They have no problem confessing they sin and that so does everybody else. They comfort one another in their afflictions caused by besetting sins. These are the sins they love and refuse to depart from. Many are living in fornication. Others indulge in adultery. But it is the sin of rebellion that slays unwary souls into depths of perdition. These are they who are sensual, earthly and devilish. Progressing into deeper darkness where there is no light. Only certain condemnation and a fearful looking for of judgement.

Blessed is the man that endures temptation for when he is purged he shall come forth as gold tried in the fire. Arm yourself with the same mind of Christ who when he was reviled, reviled not again. And though he were a Son yet learned he obedience by the things that he suffered. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. If the holy seed of God dwells in you as the incorruptible word of God by the renewing of the Holy Spirit, than you are holy even as your Father in heaven is holy. True believers confess they are clean and the Prince of the world has nothing in them. They have found the well of salvation that brings forth living waters of eternal peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Can you live without it?

Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, is it not my brothers and sisters? Sensual, earthy and devilish Music is the mother of witchcrafts seducing spirits are given heed to.

“The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.”

Lead me not into captivity

"I have too many flaws to be perfect" say many Christians. 

If by "Flaws" you mean sins, then why don't you say sins?If one says, "I am not perfect", does one mean "I am not holy?"Those who lead into captivity shall go into captivity. 

Blessed are the ones who endure temptation for they shall receive the crown of life.

If anyone be truly born again by the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, they have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the Holy One. Jesus Christ the Righteous. In Christ we can boast, "the prince of the world has come and has nothing in me" But if Christ is not raised in us, we are of all people most miserable and found to be liars, 

False witnesses and deceitful workers of iniquity abound because the love of many for the truth has waxed cold.

Hypocrites are miserable ministers

BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
We must harden ourselves as good soldiers of Jesus Christ and war a good warfare with weapons that are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. casting down evil imaginations and bringing every thought into obedience to Christ. It is hard to find such like minded Christians because there are very few witnesses of the ressurection left. "If Christ be not raised, we are of all men most miserable." And indeed, hypocrites are miserable comforters.

Peace in Christ.
