Depend on God!


Acts 1:8     But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

    The Lord Jesus spoke this to his disciples just before leaving this earth, but we know it remains unto this day because our Christianity is the result of their witnessing. Well, Christian,... the day is come when we need that power, and the only way we shall survive is to Depend on God. Are you prepared to depend totally on the Lord?

    For two and one-half years, our family was on the road in a ministry. And when I say on the road, I mean on the road. We had no home except for the motorhome we were travelling in. We had no income except for what the Lord would provide. In this situation, we began to learn what it is to Depend on God.

    Why are we telling you this?... If you're a Christian, you probably know. People who read the Bible see all the things prophesied for the last day coming about right now. They see the Mark of the Beast being set up; they see the drastic changing of the seasons; they see the great increase in natural disasters; they see the entire world on the brink of that great war; they see the greatest explosion of knowledge in the history of the world. But what many of us don't see is how we shall survive...how we shall subsist in a world being destroyed bit by bit.

    Thousands...knowing how close we are to the final throes of this world...are asking pastors, leaders, teachers, etc., "What shall we do to prepare?" Many are stockpiling stores of food, fuel, and other necessities. And there is nothing wrong with that, as long as God is leading. But there are millions who do not have the means to do these things...what shall become of them? The Bible says that God is no respecter of persons, ( Acts, 10:34) therefore, He must have other means of caring for those who are without. What then, are we to do, when the chaos hits and dearth engulfs the land? The answer is apparent: we must Depend on God.

    Begin now! Draw nigh unto God. Talk to him constantly, and learn to hear his instruction. It's not really that hard. You will find that when the time comes, and you are in the midst of that final turmoil, it suddenly won't be so hard to Depend on God. When the Lord is our only source, we find that it is not so hard to reach him. If we are Christian, we have no choice...God is our supplier. When the Mark of the Beast is put in full effect (and it is already here and being tested) we will have to choose between it and the Lord God. If we are living close to Him already, we won't have any trouble choosing, and we won't have any problem listening to his instructions or receiving of his bounty.

    Sound like the voice of experience? It is...and you can believe it. At this present time, my own personal computer is down. I have lost my primary source of income and have no visible means of fixing it. But you will notice that this website is still up and going, in spite of Satan's forces. How? Because we learned a long time ago that God is our only source, and He never fails! We fast some, and we pray constantly, and the Lord has never failed us, and his work goes on. Remember all this when the times are upon us (and they are here) and we have no VISIBLE means of sustenance. God is always there!

DEPEND on GOD!

In Jesus' Name,
AMEN
