We must remember that the Holy Spirit’s power not only equips God’s people to be witnesses, but first holds out the gift of repentance to each one of us. This beautiful gift is tied with a ribbon of forgiveness; once opened, the forgiven soul is called to a new path – one of restoration and righteousness.

Beloved, are you motivated and inspired to be a faithful witness to the everlasting gospel, preparing yourself and others for spiritual and physical endurance as we await the return of the Lord? Daily invite His Holy Spirit into your life. Believe that His word is truth, and His Spirit will empower you to obey it!

Sheer craziness and insanity are bearing down upon us today like never before. The warnings of Jesus are not to frighten us or cause us to wring our hands. No indeed! He is preparing us for these realities. He wants His people to be prepared – and not to be caught off guard.

The tender compassion of Jesus is made even more evident by His concern for the health of His people. He cares about every aspect of life . . . .

One of the essential characteristics shared by Elijah and John the Baptist is humility. It was their willingness to bow before God that led to their strength to preach the truth before men.
