Suffering With Patients

[1 Peter 4:1] Forasmuch then as HaMashiach hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
In the last days, Believers should have an attitude of commitment. We must bear our trials, notwithstanding our persecutions, following the example of our Savior. Peter would have us pure and harmless, patient and submissive, faithful in the performance of our duties, and confidently looking forward to the time when we should be delivered.
Having the same mind of suffering with patient willingness what G-d wills us to suffer. Y’Shua communicated the same idea when He told us that anyone who would come after Him must take up his cross and follow (Matthew 16:24). Taking up the cross-meant that you were committed and not looking back!
Arm yourself with the same mind: Many of us are defeated in our battle against sin because we refuse to sacrifice anything in the battle. We only want victory if it comes easily to us. Y’Shua called us to have the kind of attitude that would sacrifice in the battle against sin (Matthew 5:29-30).
G-d calls us to have is nothing isn't greater than the commitment Y’Shua had in enduring suffering for our salvation. In the last days, we need to have a commitment to G-d that will endure through great struggles.
Having a readiness to suffer in the cause of religion, a readiness to die as He had done this readiness to suffer and die, the apostle speaks of as amour, and having this is represented as being armed. Amour is put on for offensive or defensive purposes in war; and the idea of the apostle here is, that that state of mind when we are ready to meet with persecution and trial. When we are ready to die, will answer the purpose of amour in engaging in the conflicts and strife’s which pertain to us as Believers, and especially in meeting with persecutions and trials. We are to put on the same fortitude which the Y’Shua had, and this will be the best defense against our foes, and the best security of victory.
When a person has suffered physical persecution for the sake of Y’Shua, it almost always profoundly changes their outlook regarding sin and the pursuit of the lusts of the flesh. He is more likely to live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of G-d.
Many Believers who believe that Y’Shua is coming soon are basing when on prophecy charts and political events; fail to watchful of measuring our readiness for His coming. It is a profound, and foolish, waste of time for Believers to live like the world, and we must simply stop being double-minded and start living as Believers.
As we serve one another, we do it with the strength G-d provides, the ability which G-d supplies - so that to Him belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever.
