It is our privilege to gather strength from the Lord, and to be fitting up characters for translation to heaven and to the mansions that He is preparing for us.  We should be continually grateful for the power from above that has been promised us.  Christ was that "true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.  He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.  He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.  But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" [John 1:9-14].  {2SAT 274.2}

(N)  Jeremiah 20:11 

 

But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

God has given man precious promises upon conditions of faith and obedience; but they are not to sustain him in any rash act.  If men needlessly place themselves in peril, and go where God does not require them to go, and self-confidently expose themselves to danger, disregarding the dictates of reason, God will not work a miracle to relieve them.  He will not send his angels to preserve any from being burned if they choose to place themselves in the fire.  {RH, April 1, 1875 par. 4}

Students, eternal interests are before you.  Work with heaven in view, remembering ever your character building.  Keep a pocket Bible with you as you work, and improve every opportunity to commit to memory its precious promises.  {RH, April 27, 1905 par. 13}

(N)  Jeremiah 24:6 

 

For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

Wonderful inducements are held out to us to lead us to strive to attain to the glory and virtue manifested in Christ.  Every encouragement is offered.  Every provision has been made that we may be so conformed to the divine character that Christ can take us to live with Him in heaven.  Exceeding great and precious promises have been made to us, but they are fulfilled to us only as we gain a knowledge of God.  Divine knowledge is given to those who become partakers of the divine nature.  Those who are saved must in this life gain a fitness to dwell with the royal family in the courts of heaven.  {14MR 347.3}

The Lord calls for a renewal of the straight testimony borne in years past.  He calls for a renewal of spiritual life.  The spiritual energies of His people have long been torpid, but there is to be a resurrection from apparent death.  By prayer and confession of sin we must clear the King's highway.  As we do this, the power of the Spirit will come to us.  We need the pentecostal energy.  This will come; for the Lord has promised to send His Spirit as the all-conquering power.  {GW 307.4}

And God hears prayer.  Christ has said, "If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it."  Again He says, "If any man serve Me, him will My Father honor."  John 14:14; 12:26.  If we live according to His word, every precious promise He has given will be fulfilled to us.  We are undeserving of His mercy, but as we give ourselves to Him, He receives us.  He will work for and through those who follow Him.  {MH 226.3}

In the last great conflict of the controversy with Satan those who are loyal to God will see every earthly support cut off.  Because they refuse to break His law in obedience to earthly powers, they will be forbidden to buy or sell.  It will finally be decreed that they shall be put to death ... But to the obedient is given the promise, "He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure."  Isaiah 33:16.  By this promise the children of God will live.  {Mar 181.5}

The coming of the Lord draweth nigh.  We have but a little time in which to make ready.  If precious opportunities are slighted, it will result in eternal loss.  We need a close connection with God.  We are not safe a moment unless guided and controlled by the Holy Spirit.  The soul should be often uplifted to God in prayer, even while we are engaged in our business vocations.  These silent prayers rise like precious incense before the throne of grace.  Satan is baffled.  He cannot overcome the Christian whose heart is thus stayed upon God.  No hellish arts can destroy his peace.  All the promises of God's word, all the power of divine grace, all the resources of Jehovah, are pledged to secure his deliverance.   {RH, June 15, 1886 par. 7}

"Showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments."  In prohibiting the worship of false gods, the second commandment by implication enjoins the worship of the true God.  And to those who are faithful in His service, mercy is promised, not merely to the third and fourth generation as is the wrath threatened against those who hate Him, but to thousands of generations.  {PP 306.4}

The apostle Peter instructs us as to the plan on which we must work.  "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you," he says, "through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."  "And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity."  {RH, June 23, 1910 par. 7}

I asked the angel why there was not more power in Israel.  Said he, "Ye let go of the promises of God too quickly; press your petitions to the throne and hold on by faith.  Believe ye receive the things ye ask for, and ye shall have them."  {1BIO 181.5}

In all His dealings with His creatures God has maintained the principles of righteousness by revealing sin in its true character -- by demonstrating that its sure result is misery and death.  The unconditional pardon of sin never has been, and never will be.  Such pardon would show the abandonment of the principles of righteousness, which are the very foundation of the government of God.  It would fill the unfallen universe with consternation.  God has faithfully pointed out the results of sin, and if these warnings were not true, how could we be sure that His promises would be fulfilled?  That so-called benevolence which would set aside justice, is not benevolence, but weakness.  {AG 73.2}

Fellow-Christians, search carefully, and see whether the work of God is indeed the rule of your life.  Do you take Christ with you when you leave the closet of prayer?  Does your religion stand guard at the door of your lips?  Is your heart drawn out in sympathy and love for others outside of your own family?  Are you diligently seeking a clearer understanding of Scripture truth, that you may let your light shine forth to others?  These questions you may answer to your own souls.  Let your speech be seasoned with grace, and your demeanor show Christian elevation.  "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."  Ever remember that the moral nature needs to be braced with constant watchfulness and prayer.  As long as you look to Christ, you are safe; but the moment you trust to yourself, you lose your hold upon God, and are in great peril.  {ST, June 17, 1886 par. 11}

Carry your Christianity into your family.  Let a bright, steady light be burning.  Let impressions be left upon minds of the truth of your God, and the value of his service, that will be as far-reaching as eternity.  Oh, how much need there is of prayer, of tears, of faith!  You should pray for the ministers, for those who are weak in faith.  You should let your prayers follow the laborers as sharp sickles in the great harvest-field.  You should wrestle with God as did Jacob.  We may have pentecostal seasons even now, if the people will pray fervently, and believe in the promises of God.  And when prayer and faith abound among God's people, the world will see a steady light shining forth from them.  {ST, February 10, 1890 par. 6}
