The two assurances that give me the most comfort or the greatest ability to deal with life's problems are the words of Jesus in John 16:33 and Matthew 28:20, coupled with keeping an eternal perspective, rather than viewing this life and world as the be-all and end-all of.my existence.
Isaiah 54:17: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. The upheaval in the world today is largely a result of misunderstandings leading to confusion and disturbance, which in turn lead to turmoil, as we see today. God the Father has assured His creation in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and to have a hold of humbleness in you. Humbleness is given with wisdom of understanding, within the church today, creating them to be a craftsman, which is a smith. These craftsmen are then led to blow the coals in the fire, which bringeth forth a weapon for their work, in the humbleness of discernment. However, the waster (destroyer) craftsman who is led, then shall be destroyed by their work of their own actions of upheaval. For then the weapon that is formed against thee, one who will then be led to blow the coal in the fire. Every tongue that shall rise against thee, in judgment thou shalt condemn in the wisdom of God the Father given to you. (Isa 54:16-17) This assurance of discernment of wisdom given to one to know the mysteries, where you stand today in the kingdom of heaven, is given unto you alone. Lord Jesus reveals unto us in parables, where the multitude gathered together and stood by Him at the shore. The parable of the Sower, when he sowed, some fell on the wayside, some fell on a stony ground, some fell among the thorns, and the rest fell into the good ground. This is the parable of the Sower, for one who is on the “wayside” heareth not, understand it not, then cometh the wicked one and snatches away that which is sown in the heart. The one who receives on the stony ground receives with joy in their heart, but has no root to hold in the time of tribulation or persecution of the world, for by and by they are offended. The one who received among the thorns, heareth the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of the riches choke the word, which lead them to be unfruitful. Those who received it on the good ground are those who discern in the right spirit who then bear fruit, for some bring a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Mat 13) God, the Father of the whole earth, from the creation time, the sinful nature that came into mankind, “He is our Redeemer, the Holy One, He shall be called.” For a small moment He has forsaken thee, in a little wrath He hid His Face from thee, for a moment, but with everlasting kindness He will have mercy on thee. With great mercy will He gather thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. (Isa 54:7-8) Assurance shall be given today, for one having the right wisdom of understanding, though “thou be afflicted” tossed with tempest and not comforted. For the Lord shall lay for thee, thy stones with fair colours and lay thy foundation with sapphires. For then you shall be led, and your children who shall be taught of the Lord, for then great shall be thy, of thy children. (Isa 54:11,13) For the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, is in you the “Temple that is your body, leading you and guiding you in the right spirit.” (John 16:13) Habakkuk 2:3: For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
