155.  WHO IS THE "ROSE OF SHARON"? The "Rose Of Sharon" is none other than JESUS.  In the Song of Solomon the Holy Bible says in 2:1,
          "I AM THE ROSE OF SHARON, AND THE LILY OF THE VALLEYS".
      If JESUS is your own personal Saviour then JESUS is blooming in your heart this very moment.  Let JESUS bloom in your heart and let JESUS lead you to show some poor lost soul the way of salvation which is "IN", "THROUGH", and "BY" that precious "ROSE OF SHARON"! Let the world see the "ROSE OF SHARON" blooming in your heart today!

    156. HAVE YOU LOST THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION? There is only one way for a person to lose the joy of their salvation and that is by sin.  When a person has willful sin in his or her life the joy of salvation is gone because sin brings the devil into your life and the devil has no joy precious soul and demons have no joy.  In Psalm 51:12 in the Holy Bible,
          "RESTORE UNTO ME THE JOY OF THY SALVATION; AND UPHOLD ME WITH THY FREE SPIRIT".   
    David had lost the joy of his salvation when he commited murder and adultery and you too will lose the joy of thy salvation when you commit sin and/or have willfull sin in your heart.  Always remember that sin brings the devil into your life and there he will stay until you renounce that sin or sins and repent.

    157.  WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS THE MOST MISERABLE PERSON ON EARTH? The answer to that question is the worldly Christian.  A worldly Christian or you can call that person a carnal Christian, is a person who is living in sin and who is worldly or is living the way of the world and since sin brings the devil that worldly Christian has lost the joy of his or her salvation.  A worldly or carnal Christian will not lose his or her salvation by being a carnal or worldly Christian but that same worldly Christian can and will have Hell on earth by living in sin and being worldly.
    A Christian cannot live for the devil and JESUS at the same time.  Either JESUS or the devil will have the preeminence in your life.  The quickest way for most Christians to be worldly is by listening to Hellish rock music whether secular or religious. When you listen to rock music and that Satanic beat whether it be secular or religious the devil comes into your life and there he will stay until you make the decision to get rid of and stop listening to that Hellish beat of sin, death, Hell, destruction and debauchery! Listening to rock music either secular or religious is feeding the flesh and our flesh is our mortal enemy. 
    Another way that a Christian can lose the joy of thy salvation is through sins of the flesh.  The flesh is our enemy and we must "arrest" or "crucify" it lest it get out of control.  As a Christian we have two natures one nature of the flesh and one nature of God and we will have those two natures until death.  The Holy Bible says in Galatians 5:24-25,
          "AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS,
          IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT".
    A person who has never accepted JESUS as his or her own personal Saviour has only one nature and that nature is the flesh.  So many unsaved people wonder and are baffled at Christians when they see a certain Christian struggling with the flesh and God.  The unsaved just cannot understand that a Christian has two opposing natures in his or her life to contend with while the unsaved only have one nature which is the flesh.  So many unsaved people think that Christians have schizophrenia but that is not true.  While the battleground is in the mind of each Christian it is not a mental disorder.  The mind is the battleground for the powers of darkness and the "power of God". The unsaved see the struggle but just cannot grasp the "why" of the conflict.  There is no contention or conflict with only one nature precious soul.  If you only have one nature then that is the only nature you know of so a person will not have a struggle in his or her life when it comes to that nature of the flesh.  When and if that person gets saved he or she will experience that those two opposing natures are in conflict in his or her life and will see clearly that the battleground is in the mind and will then begin to see the struggle that every Christian has in his or her life here on earth.  For the perfect example of this the Holy Bible says in Romans 7:11- 25,
