Everything that
comes from God asks for an open and faithful heart. We cannot live with hope and joy in the
end-time unless we are living in a state of preparedness... Jesus says, Stay
awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to
happen, and to hold your ground before the Son of Man (Luke 21:34-36). That’s what living in the Spirit of Jesus
calls us to.
