When a problem comes, those persons who ask God what to do will overcome on this earth.
Those
people who try to ignore the problem, or who run to other people,
telling others their problems, will not overcome on this earth.
When we have a problem or a concern, what are we as Christians supposed to do?
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (The Word).
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (The Word).
Acts 2:19-21 God says:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

When
these things happen, some will run into their house to be safe. Others
will run to friends. Some will try to forget that which is happening
by watching TV or reading a book.
Those who stop and fall down before God, doing nothing but depending totally on God, will be saved.
It is the same with the problems we encounter daily.
We
can try to forget that problem by soaking ourselves in TV. But those
who cease all their efforts and fall down before God in prayer,
committing their fears and concerns to God, and waiting on God, will be saved from the problem.
A woman told me of the following dream: She
and her husband were going out to buy a TV. She was at the car waiting
for him when all of a sudden the sun turned totally dark! She started
to run back into their house. But then she realized that wouldn't do
any good. She just fell down on her knees.
In the mid-80's, I had the following dream: The
earth slipped on it's axis. People were terrified. The government was
meeting with scientists and religious leaders to see what could be
done. (Nothing can be done by men for this was of God.) A
TV newscaster was trying to give a report about the event but he was so
frightened that he just stopped talking and walked out of the studio in
the middle of the broadcast.

Recently thoughts began coming to me telling me I would not be saved.
But I remembered two scriptures to the contrary.
Mark 10
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for MY sake, and the gospel's,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
John 10 Jesus said:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of MY hand.
29 MY Father, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and no (none) is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand.
I said to Jesus: "You told me I would inherit eternal life." Mk. 10 That is what will happen. And You told me "I would never perish." Jn. 10 That is what will happen.
And as I was asking God to help me, I heard: "You're being attacked by a devil."
I did not talk to devil. I did not even address that devil. I just kept talking to Jesus and stating what HE had told me in Mark 10 and John 10 and kept asking God to help me.
And I believed those words of Jesus.
***
Those
persons who run to other people with their problems or try to forget
their problems through TV and such, will not overcome.
Those who turn to God for help and cling to HIS Word and to HIM will be helped and saved and will overcome on this earth.
