WHO SHALL THE SPIRIT GIVE POWER OF SPEECH AND WHAT TO SAY IN TIME OF TRIAL?

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WHO SHALL THE SPIRIT GIVE POWER OF SPEECH AND WHAT TO SAY IN TIME OF TRIAL?

Jesus said, “But when they deliver you up, take no thought [don’t worry or stress] what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour [at that moment and place] what ye shall speak.” Matt. 10:19, KJV.

Read Matthew 10: 1-42. It contains the marching and working orders for Christ’s disciples, then and today. Now this:

“The servants of Christ are to prepare NO SET SPEECH to present when brought to TRIAL for their faith. [Why?] Their preparation is to be made DAY BY DAY, in treasuring up in their HEARTS the precious truths of God’s Word, in FEEDING upon the teaching of Christ, and through PRAYER strengthening their faith; then, when brought before trial [before ‘kings, governors, and great men of the earth’], the Holy Spirit will bring to REMEMBRANCE the very truths that will reach the hearts of those who shall COME to hear. God will flash the knowledge OBTAINED by diligent searching of the Scriptures, into their MEMORY, at the very time when it is needed.

“You are NOW to get ready for the [soon coming time of trial]. Now you are to KNOW whether your feet are planted on the Eternal Rock [as the wise man built his house (character) upon the rock, not sand].

You must have an INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE and not depend on others for your light. When you are brought to the test, how do you know that you will not be ALONE, with no EARTHLY friend at your side? Will you then be ABLE to realize that Christ is your support?

“Will you be able to RECALL the promise, ‘Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world?’ [Matt. 28:20]. There will be INVISIBLE ONES about you bent upon your DESTRUCTION.

Satan and his agents will seek in every way to make you WAVER from your steadfastness to God and His truth. But if you have ‘an eye single to His glory’ [Matt. 6: 22, 23], you need not take a thought as to HOW YOU SHALL WITNESS for His truth.

“Are you ‘growing up to the full stature of men and women in Christ’ [Eph. 4:13], so that when the CRISIS COMES, you cannot be separated from the Source of your strength?

If we would stand in the TIME OF TEST [now and the final one], we must now IN THE TIME OF PEACE, be gaining a LIVING [not vicarious, insipid or half-awake] EXPERIENCE in the things of God [not the ‘things of the world’].

We must now understand what are THE DEEP MOVINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD. Christ must be our all and in all, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.’ (Rev. 22:13).”- E. G. White, Maranatha, p. 255.

Gather and stock up as fast and as much as you can now. Earth’s final bitterest and darkest spiritual winter is on its way! Bless all, NMF
