Hold On
坚信Heb 10:19-23 - And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him.
For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.
希 伯 來 書 10:19-23: 所以，兄弟姐妹们，我们有信心借助耶稣的血进入至圣处， 耶稣通过这个帘幕—即他的血肉之躯，为我们开辟的一条新的、有生命的道路， 既然我们有了一位伟大的祭司掌管着上帝的家庭， 那么，让我们用真诚的心和坚定的信仰来接近上帝吧，让我们洗净那败坏了的良心，使我们的心灵得到净化；让我们的身体在纯净的水中得到清洗；让我们坚定地坚持我们所表白的希望，因为赐给我们这个诺言的上帝是可信的。

Heb 10:35,36 - “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”
希 伯 來 書 10:35,36: 不要抛弃你们的勇气，因为它将带给你们巨大的报偿。 你们要容忍，这样在你们执行了上帝的意愿后，就会得到上帝所许诺的一切。(page 1952)
1 Peter 5:10 – “In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.”
彼 得 前 書 5:10: 但是，你们的患难只是暂时的，在这之后，
仁慈的源泉，那呼唤你们在基督里共享永恒荣耀的上帝会亲自恢复、建立、加强你们，避免你们沉沦。(pg 1971)

It’s Not Time to Back Down
Hebrews 10:19-25“Always do the right thing.”
It sounds so simple… and yet, it is a good concept. Sometimes we adjust sails to fit the storm, rather than just put down the anchor and hold on.
Psalm 42:11 - Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again--my Savior and my God!
There are times when our hearts may feel so depleted that we think it is the end.
We are sad. Sad doesn’t begin to describe it. Broken-hearted.
Discouraged. Disillusioned?Out of the mess can come the message. Out of the test can come the testimony.
vs 23: Let us hold on to the hope we say we have and not be changed. We can trust God that He will do what He promised.
We need a sure hope that will keep us anchored and steady at all times
Jesus said: “The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
The rain… the streams… the wind
These words describe the storm we sometimes go through.
"Praise You In This Storm"
And I'll praise You in this storm - And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are, No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand - You never left my side
And though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind - You heard my cry to you and you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone - How can I carry on - If I can't find You?
I lift my eyes unto the hills - Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord - The Maker of Heaven and EarthHeb 10:35,36 - “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”
“Don’t let what you don’t know shake you from what you do know.”
“Now is not the time for backing down.
Now is the time for taking new ground.”
Escape Velocity: In physics, escape velocity is the speed at which the sum of an object's kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy is equal to zero. It is the speed needed to "break free" from the gravitational attraction of a massive body, without further propulsion, i.e., without spending more propellant.
Understand – there are always two forces at work here on this earth.
Even in your thinking – the old carnal mind challenges your faith, and if your foundation isn’t strong, you will start to give way – and doubt.
“Perseverance of the saints”
1 Peter 5:10 – “In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.”
The suffering here is referring to the trials of life- and the attacks of the enemy. Persecution for Christ’s sake.
The testing of your faith where you just have to trust God and His Word.
2 Cor 12:10: That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Cor 4:17 - For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
“Let us hold firmly to the hope that we have confessed, because we can trust God to do what he promised. Let us think about each other and help each other to show love and do good deeds. You should not stay away from the church meetings, as some are doing, but you should meet together and encourage each other. Do this even more as you see the day coming.”
Signs of the times are everywhere. The days are coming to a close. It’s time to stand on this firm foundation and get equipped – get prepared – and most of all, get right with God.
Heb 10:35,36 - “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”
We have to keep doing the basics. The fundamentals never change.
“Always do the right thing.”
Hold to what you know is right and true.
Stay true to the gospel message that you have heard and believed.1 Thess 5: “… Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.”
You want to do the will of God?
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”Eph 6:10 - Be strong in the Lord and in the Power of His Might
Dis-couragement is the devil’s tool to strip you of your faith and get you out of power.
…to drag you down to the unbeliever’s level.
“anything that is not of FAITH is sin”
“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
Psalm 62:5-7: “I find rest in God; only he gives me hope.
He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.
My honor and salvation come from God. He is my mighty rock and my protection.”Gal 6:2 – “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
We hold on to God’s Word – even in the storms – and we encourage each other to do the same thing.
“Jesus paid it all.” ( ) “Complete in Him.” ( )
God’s Word tells us Jesus took our sin – our iniquity – upon Himself.
He paid the price for us.Do we believe it?
He won the victory over sin and death –
- and yet, all you have to do is look around and you still see sin and death.
Sin still abounds. Turn on the TV. Go shopping.
It’s time to take back what the enemy has tried to steal from us. From God’s Kingdom.
“Thy Kingdom come…”
God’s Word tell us that Jesus took our infirmities upon Himself.
“…and with His stripes we were healed.”
Do we believe it?
…and yet, we struggle because of the outward signs to the contrary.
…but in our hearts, we know that it isn’t God’s plan.
If God’s Word says Jesus Christ paid the price for our healing in His own body – and we deny that fact – we’re denying God’s Word. Calling God a liar. (heaven forbid)
Go to any hospital, and you’ll easily recognize that this isn’t “God’s Will.”
How could it be?
Jesus took all of this upon Himself.
We have to take back what the enemy has tried to steal from us.
“The Kingdom of God suffereth violence…”
How do we respond?
It’s not time to back down.
Appeasement in a political context is a diplomatic policy of making political or material concessions to an enemy power in order to avoid conflict.
The term is most often applied to the foreign policy of the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain towards Nazi Germany between 1937 and 1939. His policies of avoiding war with Germany have been the subject of intense debate for seventy years among academics, politicians and diplomats. At the time, these concessions were widely seen as positive, and the Munich Pact concluded on 30 September 1938 among Germany, Britain, France, and Italy prompted Chamberlain to announce that he had secured "peace for our time.”
We all know how well that worked out for England.
In our moments of disappointment and discouragement, we may want to just shrivel up – just shrug our shoulders and lay down our swords.
Jesus said: “I Am the living one. I died, but look--I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.”
Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so! (stand up)
“I’ve been redeemed from sin – from fear – from doubt – from sickness – from poverty – from lack – from depression – from any calamity.”
· Shake it off. Get back up. Square your shoulders back. *
Having done all to stand – STAND, therefore!
Now is not the time for backing down…
The Greater One lives in YOU. The Greater One lives in ME.
vs 23: Let us hold on to the hope we say we have and not be changed. We can trust God that He will do what He promised.
“This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you:
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”1 Tim 6:12 - Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
It’s time for a revival in the House of God like never before.
It’s time for the real revival that can no longer be contained within the church walls.
It’s time for healing and salvation and deliverance to flow out into the streets.
Our greatest days as a church are right in front of us.
“The latter house shall be greater than the former.”
It begins with you and it begins with me – and it starts with our broken hearts being poured out to God for healing and direction and strength from above.
Romans 15:16 – “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
