Don’t Put It Off
3Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received!G5613G846G2304G1411G1433G2254G3956G4314G2222G2532G2150G1223G1922G2564G2248G1223G1391G2532G7034We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.G1223G3739G1433G2254G3176G2532G5093G1862G2443G1223G5130G1096G2844G2304G5449G668G5356G1722G2889G1722G19395So don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding,G2532G1161G846G5124G3923G3956G4710G2023G1722G5216G4102G703G1161G1722G703G11086alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder,G1161G1722G1108G1466G1161G1722G1466G5281G1161G1722G5281G21507warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others.G1161G1722G2150G5360G1161G1722G5360G268With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus.G1063G5023G5225G5213G2532G4121G2525G3756G692G3761G175G1519G1922G2257G2962G2424G55479Without these qualities you can't see what's right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.G1063G3739G3361G3918G5023G2076G5185G3467G3024G2983G2512G846G3819G26610So, friends, confirm God's invitation to you, his choice of you. Don't put it off; do it now. Do this, and you'll have your life on a firm footing,G1352G3123G80G4704G4160G5216G2821G2532G1589G949G1063G4160G5023G4218G4417G3364G4218G441711the streets paved and the way wide open into the eternal kingdom of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ.G1063G3779G1529G2023G5213G4146G1519G166G932G2257G2962G2532G4990G2424G5547
The One Light in a Dark Time
12Because the stakes are so high, even though you're up-to-date on all this truth and practice it inside and out, I'm not going to let up for a minute in calling you to attention before it.G1352G272G3756G272G5279G5209G104G5279G4012G5130G2539G1492G2532G4741G1722G3918G22513This is the post to which I've been assigned—keeping you alert with frequent reminders—and I'm sticking to it as long as I live.G1161G2233G1342G1909G3745G1510G1722G5129G4638G1326G5209G1326G1722G528014I know that I'm to die soon; the Master has made that quite clear to me.G1492G3754G5031G2076G595G3450G4638G2532G2531G2257G2962G2424G5547G1213G342715And so I am especially eager that you have all this down in black and white so that after I die, you'll have it for ready reference.G1161G2532G4704G5209G2192G3326G1699G1841G4160G5130G1539G342016We weren't, you know, just wishing on a star when we laid the facts out before you regarding the powerful return of our Master, Jesus Christ. We were there for the preview! We saw it with our own eyes:G1063G1811G3756G1811G4679G3454G1107G5213G1411G2532G3952G2257G2962G2424G5547G235G1096G2030G1565G316817Jesus resplendent with light from God the Father as the voice of Majestic Glory spoke: "This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of all my delight."G1063G2983G3844G2316G3962G5092G2532G1391G5342G5107G5456G846G5259G3169G1391G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G1519G3739G1473G210618We were there on the holy mountain with him. We heard the voice out of heaven with our very own ears.G2532G5026G5456G5342G1537G3772G2249G191G5607G4862G846G1722G40G373519We couldn't be more sure of what we saw and heard—God's glory, God's voice. The prophetic Word was confirmed to us. You'll do well to keep focusing on it. It's the one light you have in a dark time as you wait for daybreak and the rising of the Morning Star in your hearts.G2192G2532G949G3056G4397G3739G4160G2573G4337G5613G3088G5316G1722G850G5117G2193G3739G2250G1306G2532G5459G393G1722G5216G258820The main thing to keep in mind here is that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of private opinion.G1097G5124G4412G3754G3756G3956G4394G1124G1096G2398G195521And why? Because it's not something concocted in the human heart. Prophecy resulted when the Holy Spirit prompted men and women to speak God's Word.G1063G4394G5342G3756G4218G2307G444G235G40G444G2316G2980G5342G5259G40G4151
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
