Promise of Divine Help, September 4
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall
speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Matthew 10:19
.
The servants of Christ are to prepare no set speech to present when
brought to trial for their faith. 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 into trial, the Holy Spirit will bring to their
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 time of trial. Now you are to know
whether your feet are planted on the Eternal Rock. You must have an
individual experience, and not depend upon 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”? There will be invisible
ones all 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, you need not take
thought as to how you shall witness for His truth.
Young men and women, are you growing up to the full stature of men
and women in Christ, so that when the crisis comes, you cannot be separated
from the Source of your strength? If we would stand during the time of test,
we must now, in the time of peace, be gaining a living experience in the
things of God. We must now learn to 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.
