And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. (John 14:29)
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord... (2 Timothy 1:7,8)
...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.(Rev 19:10)
Be not afraid, only believe (Mark 5:36)
Used the last Rev 19:10 on a friend who has been a Christian for 30 years but wondered why I but put no stock in the prophecy side of things and really doesn’t believe Jesus is coming back.
Like a lot of people she thought it was scary. God tells us it is a comfort - I said I only think it is too scary if your grip on the world and this life is a bit too tight! Didn’t go down like a lead balloon like I thought it would - she is a very teachable person if pointed in the right direction. I expect she will be telling me a few things about it soon enough LOL!
They really are great scriptures mitch! Wooohooo! Will have to get together soon and have a God rant night!
