"But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak:
for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak." Matt. 10:19.
"The servants of Christ are to prepare no set speech to present
when brought to trial for their faith. Their preparation is to be made
day by day, in treasuring up in their hearts the precious truths of
God's Word, in feeding upon the teaching of Christ, and through
prayer strengthening their faith; then, when brought into trial, the
Holy Spirit will bring to their remembrance the very truths that will
reach the hearts of those who shall come to hear. God will flash the
knowledge obtained by diligent searching of the scriptures, into
their memory at the very time when it is needed.
You are now to get ready for the time of trial. Now you are to
know whether your feet are planted on the Eternal Rock. You must
have an individual experience, and not depend upon others for your
light. When you are brought to the test, how do you know that you
will not be alone, with no earthly friend at your side? Will you then
be able to realize that Christ is your support? Will you be able to re-
call the promise, "Lo, I am with you alway, even to the end of the
world"? There will be invisible ones all about you bent upon your
destruction. Satan and his agents will seek in every way to make you
waver from your steadfastness to God and His truth. But if you have
an eye single to His glory, you need not take thought as to how you
shall witness for His truth.
Young men and women, are you growing up to the full stature
of men and women in Christ, so that when the crisis comes, you
cannot be separated for the Source of your strength? If we would
stand during the time of test, we must now, in the time of peace, be
gaining a living experience in the things of God. We must now learn
to understand what are the deep movings of the Spirit of God. Christ
must be our all and in all, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the
last, the beginning and the end."
