You will come across this very many times in my work; because I feel it is very important for God's children to know what this means and to USE IT. None of us know what we will do in horrendous times. We are human, just as Jesus was human on the cross. We see in the Bible that Jesus spent very much time in prayer to His Father. He needed that strength to get through His terrible ordeal. With what is coming upon us, especially us Christians; we could never be praying too much. When we pray to our God and Lord, this is telling Him: that we know that ONLY He can get us through and that: shows our faith and it also shows Him that we know of His divine power and His heart for us. He tells us to go out and to be as smart as snakes, but to remain as innocent as doves. What He is saying is: In times of persecution or accusation, we must be wise. We must not worry and stress out before hand and wonder what we will say. If we pray and stay close to the Father; He will provide. The sweet Holy Spirit will be the one doing the talking for us. Our decisions we make will come from God, and not from ourselves. We could never be wise enough, quick enough or stable minded enough at a time like that to make a decision. We will be too emotionally involved and fear will take over and it will cause panic. If we pray and stay close, He will be close and will guide us in the direction, when to get out, when to stay and take a stand, and what to say. I know that this is what I am devoting myself to and I am preparing for it now, before it starts. None of us know what to expect; we couldn't. We could ask Jesus what it is like, for He would know. We could ask many of the millions of Christians that have been slaughtered for their love of Christ; for they would know too. But we have not been there yet, and we have not lived in that kind of evil yet. But, it does await us and we need to prepare now. The part about being as innocent as doves means: God wants us to be like Jesus; pure of sin. He wants us to approach people kindly, answer quietly and kindly and do not do anything to provoke. Persecution on us will happen without us even provoking it! Think about this: If we, when we are questioned or being persecuted; the less we say, the better off we are. Pray to God and the Spirit will do the talking. If we do nothing wrong that they can rightly accuse us of; then that shows them (whether they act like it or not) that THEY are in the wrong and Not us. Believe it or not, this does two things: 1. It will show them their wrong ways and may turn them around. 2. They may also be saved. 11. Be prepared to do His will; not your own will. 12. Have your mind anointed with the "oil of understanding. - Pamala Thomas Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:09:09 +0100
