Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:12, 13)
“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man .” (Luke 21:36)
NOW, more than ever before, it is necessary for Christians to watch and pray diligently. Why?
- Time is short for the world, and we don’t know until when we will be here. (3JT 143)
- When the devil finds himself defeated in one point, he changes from position and tactics. (4T 212)
- Faith of church members will be tested individually. (7CB 994)
- Evil angels will overpower every man, woman, and child that is not protected. (4T 210)
- Unless we are vigilent we can fall easily for a lot of deceit that goes around. (8T 99, 100)
- The prayer of faith is the Christian’s great stronghold and surely she will prevail against Satan. (1T 296)
- Only those who are vigilant in prayer and constantly on guard, that have God’s Holy Spirit in them, and are constantly under His control, are safe. (CWG 87).
