The message for the beloved Children of God is -Learn!

Good morning,
The message for the beloved Children of God is -Learn!
We have to learn to endure to the end. The bible tells us that, He who stands to the end will be saved. Let us learn to be unmovable in Christ Jesus. Understand this, it isn't you that they hate, but the Spirit of God that dwell in you, just stand still and firm in Christ Jesus. James 5:7,Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. We have to wait for the Lord, let us come to a place in Christ Jesus with love and trust in Him. We will endure hardship from others that are not of Christ Jesus, but we must stand on God's word, it stands forevermore. We are a blessed people, read  James 1:12 ,Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. We pressed to the mark of the high calling of Christ Jesus. Endurance to the calling, continue being strong in His ( Jesus) word. Read Revelation 14:12 ,Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Endurance is maybe one of the most important things when it comes to receiving answers to prayer, in an instant world. This is the way of this world. We are trained to expect everything to be done in a hurry, in less than as little time as possible.When we go before our Heavenly Father in prayer , we have to humble ourselves and pray. Read 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.Your prays can be answered quick or slow and sometimes not at all. We are called to abide in God first and to put aside all other idols in our lives before we come to our Holy Creator to ask Him for something. How often are we truly able to do this (how often do we even want to do this)?The Bible says that we must be honest about everything, if we want our prayers to be heard. Honest confession is often missing from our conversations with God. Read Isaiah 59:1-2, Behold, the LORD’S hand is not so short that it cannot save; nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. But we need everything quick, but this is not how prayer works, the answer can be delay sometimes for your good. If it does, it is important not to give up, but instead continue to pray. This is what faith is; to not see the answer yet but not to give up before you have received the answer. Abraham stands out as an example of a man in the Bible who had endurance. He believed and trusted God, even though the promise delayed several years before it came to pass, read (Romans 4:13-23, Hebrews 11:8-13). One reason why an answer can delay can be because of resistance in the spiritual realm, as Daniel experienced (Daniel 10). We have to choose to endure in prayer and not give up, even though it may take a while. Keep in mind that when we accepted Jesus into our hearts, we came out from darkness into His marvelous light. Without endurance, perseverance, one cannot commit to Christ Jesus. Many people struggle with commitments in their lives, if we can learn to truly commit our lives to Jesus, then the other commitments in our lives will fall into place. Heavenly Father, help us learn to commit to your word. We need your strength and endurance to move forward. Let us stay faithful to you, let us remain steadfast,unmovable and always abounding in your word.
Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
