Former Days Gone!~Although called and termed forsaken for a time! Yet The Lord will not cast off His people forever! But Beloveds, To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven! And even while in the midst of adversity, we have this surety and guarantee! The Lord knoweth them that are His! Therefore let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity! And we have ordered our conversation(lifestyle) aright!

We refuse to spend the rest of our time in the flesh, to the lusts of men, but we live soberly, even through limited understanding, to fulfill the will of Christ! Yes, we have been girded with strength unto the battle! That our faith and our hope might be in God! Now Beloveds, we may be beside ourselves, but our boasting is this! The testimony of our conscience which signifies that in all godly sincerity, by the grace of God, we have complied! Yes, we have too much respect for God to do otherwise! And because we have such a treasure in earthen vessels, we know the things that have been freely given to us, and we know the thing that belongeth to our peace! We do not frustrate nor receive the grace of God in vain! Yes, we readily loose the old, to embrace the new! The new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness! Yes, sin shall have no more domination over us! It simply has loosed its grip and its sting! We will not be holden of it! No! We have been redeemed!!!! From every yoke and every chain that would bind! Patience is having her perfect working! And things are changing! They are rearranging! They simply cannot remain the same! For there is a new day dawning, and arising in your future! You have been faithful to the call! And now, God is closing out the old, and making room for the new! Goodbye Yesterday! We have stretched to accommodate! And in this place, all of our formers will flee away, as a distant memory! Yes, Its Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forevermore!!! His Rest!!!
