Acts 3: 19 Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you.
[Acts of The Apostles pp 54-55] To the end of time the presence of the Spirit is to abide with the true church. But near the close of earth's harvest, a special bestowal of spiritual grace is promised to prepare the church for the coming of the Son of man. This outpouring of the Spirit is likened to the falling of the latter rain; and it is for this added power that Christians are to send their petitions to the Lord of the harvest “in the time of the latter rain.” In response, “the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain.” “He will cause to come down ... the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain,” Zechariah 10:1; Joel 2:23.
Therefore, be not discouraged, nor intimidated by what man can do. Be not afraid of the tendency to brand truth as hate speech. Be not surprised by the restrictions that will be placed on those who preach present truth, like the restrictions currently placed in Canada. Fear not you remnant people of God, as the world is becoming more averse and hostile to God, the Bible, and righteousness.
It has all been predicted before in the Bible, God has already made ample provisions to meet every impending emergency, for, believe it or not, Phillip Didn’t Take An Uber. In harmony with this solemn truth, we will end our discourse with two passages of Scripture that would be of encouragement to the remnant and to all who will decide, against all odds, to follow the One and only true God in obedience and true worship.
Joel 3: 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. 16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
