Are You Going on With Jesus?
You are those who have continued with Me in My trials. —Luke 22:28
It is true that Jesus, our Christ is with us through our temptations, but are we going on with Him through His temptations? Many of us turn back from going on with Jesus from the very moment we have an experience of what He can do. Watch when God changes your circumstances to see whether you are going on with Jesus, or siding with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We wear His name, but are we going on with Him? “From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more” (John 6:66).
The temptations of Jesus continued throughout His earthly life, and they will continue throughout the life of the Son of God in us. Are we going on with Jesus in the life we are living right now?
We have the idea that we ought to shield ourselves from some of the things God brings around us. May it never be! It is God who engineers our circumstances, and whatever they may be we must see that we face them while continually abiding with Him in His temptations. They are His temptations, not temptations to us, but temptations to the life of the Son of God in us. Jesus Christ’s honor is at stake in our bodily lives. Are we remaining faithful to the Son of God in everything that attacks His life in us?
Are you going on with Jesus? The way goes through Gethsemane, through the city gate, and on “outside the camp” (Hebrews 13:13). The way is lonely and goes on until there is no longer even a trace of a footprint to follow— but only the voice saying, “Follow Me” (Matthew 4:19).

I have learned, and continue to learn, that through trials, and blessings, I must maintain absolute unwavering diligent love-devotion, in our Lord Jesus. By maintaining a posture of unshakable faith, ( yes, it can be scary-yes, I have failed) , I glorify God. And when I glorify God, HIS intimacy increases tremendously. This is what I want all to know. To realize, the actual intimacy of Jesus, our Lord, and yet our friend. John 15:15
I want to encourage all to maintain their faith now, and during the trials that God engineers. I want to encourage because I was encouraged through a very difficult period. I was encouraged by a sister in Jesus. Who although very young, has very wise Holy wisdom and love. She said " Rouge You cannot do this by yourself, we are not supposed to. Rougue you must have unwavering faith in Jesus to get through this". Obviously Holy Spirit through her, spoke the truth.
Let's encourage each other . We need each other. Because when we do, we will realize how significant I Peter 5:10,11 is....
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
A special thanks to my brothers and sisters here at TOL who prayed me through this.
