Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
[Last Day Events pp 212] There will be thousands converted to the truth in a day who at the eleventh hour see and acknowledge the truth and the movements of the Spirit of God. The time is coming when there will be as many converted in a day as there were on the Day of Pentecost, after the disciples had received the Holy Spirit. A good many do not see it now, to take their position, but these things are influencing their lives, and when the message goes with a loud voice they will be ready for it.
They will not hesitate long; they will come out and take their position. Soon the last test is to come to all inhabitants of the earth. At that time prompt decisions will be made. Those who have been convicted under the presentation of the Word will range themselves under the bloodstained banner of Prince Emmanuel.
Therefore, let not the laymen get frustrated, and let not the preachers be discouraged, if the immediate results of preaching the everlasting Gospel do not meet expectations. God knows those who are His in every single church, and in the fullness of time He’ll ratchet up the Latter rain, to produce persons who will obey His voice. We therefore end with a passage of scripture that will help us to remember the differences between information and conviction, and God will bless those earnest efforts made by His people to reach persons who are now sitting in darkness.
Isaiah 55: 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the Sower, and bread to the eater. 11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
