of Christ can keep it to themselves. As soon as Christ becomes
an abiding presence in the heart, we shall not be able to see souls
perishing in ignorance of the truth and be at rest. We shall make any
sacrifice that we may reach them; and none of us are so poor that
we cannot make daily sacrifices for Christ.
The influence of the work we are doing will be felt through all
eternity. If we will work in harmony with one another and with
heaven, God will demonstrate His power in our behalf as He did for
the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. Those days of preparation,
in which the disciples prepared themselves by prayer and a putting
away of all disunion, brought them into such close relation to God
that He could work for them and through them in a marvelous man-
ner. Today God desires to accomplish great things through the faith
and works of His believing people. But we must stand in right rela-
tion to Him, that when He speaks to us we may hear and understand
[335]
His voice.
Let not unbelief come in; for God’s work is to go from city to
city, from country to country. The plans of the enemies of God may
be laid to defeat His work; but have faith that Jehovah will remove
all obstructions to its progress. Talk faith, work in faith, and advance
in faith. Obstacles will be removed as we lay hold of the promises
of God. Let the Lord’s people go forward, and their hearts will be
made strong.
What is the promise to those living in these last days?—“Turn
you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare
that I will render double unto thee.... Ask ye of the Lord rain in the
time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give
them showers of rain.”—
The Review and Herald, November 17,
1910.
